This kit is using the MP1 hand mold which originated in the MG Nu Ver Ka. The MP2 hand mold started with MG Sazabi Ver Ka. Going forward they would use these articulated hands with the appropriate corresponding units: MP1 for EFSF, and MP2 for Zeon.
In 2022 the MP1 mold was replaced, presumably due to mold wear as it is used across MANY releases. That is why the runner tag says 2022 now. So if you buy a Nu Ver Ka printed today it will have the 2022 updated MP1 mold.
Imagine if Bandai went for not just a new MG Sinanju with color-separated sleeves, but also an RG 2.0 of it. Full on redemption arc
We have to get through the RG 2.0 of sinanju first.
And the future of RG 2.0 is certain but very long since they have go through all the old RGs before even reaching RG Sinanju and RG Sinanju Stein(most definitely a P-Bandai cause it's a "variant" so it's follows Bandai's messed up logic of what's P-Bandai and what is not).
I'd say like 5-6 years for them to reach it IF they release 2-3 RGs every year which i doubt they would cause they're just drip-feeding us and not release like 5 MGs, 3 RGs before the Pandemic
@@xecksoffender942 They could just do a RG Sinanju Stein and do a P-bandai RG Sinanju 2.0
@@ricardobeltranmonribot3182 I would *kill* for an RG Stein.
RG Sinanju was actually one of my first builds ever, (I knew ahead of time that it was going to be a hand-grenade, so I figured it would be good practice before I got other stuff that's actually easier; plus I knew I was going to do some extensive custom work, as was intending from the outset to paint it in Kampfer colors because the glossy candy apple red that the kit comes in just looks tacky to me,) and the MG Stein Ver Ka kit is among the favorite builds that I own, (standing very nicely next to my Kotobukiya Metal Gear Sahelanthropus kit and a 1/100 scale Fix Figuration Metal Composite Casval's Custom Rx-78 that a friend of mine found, basically in a dumpster, and then gave to me because he knew I liked Gundam and had no clue how fucking valuable it is. I've basically never even bothered to get an MG RX-78 because that Fix Figuration piece was the first Gundam model I owned and it's soooooooo fucking good. Singlehandedly got me into Gunpla.)
But like, I'm just more of a fan of 1/144 scale to begin with, and one of my favorite builds is an HG Stein with the backpack thrusters replaced by the ones from an HG Sinanju, (with everything painted to match, obviously.) If I could do that again using an RG kit, it would make my grumpy little heart so freakin' happy.
(I actually own an MG Sinanju, with the intent of building two partial kits using the frame from the MG Sinanju plus the extra parts from the MG Stein Ver Ka kit, to build a diorama showing the custom Sinanju in the process of being tested with the new parts. So it would involve a hanger including a frame mounted with the old Stein parts, plus the new Sinanju custom back thrusters, equipped with both versions of the rifle for testing purposes, and an assortment of the Sinanju custom parts piled up in the hanger but with the new "Red Comet" paint job in the process of being painted on them. Just haven't gotten around to finishing the whole thing yet, and I feel like it would be easier to do anyway if I could attempt it with RG kits instead.)
Sad that it took this long to get an MG with color separated sleeves markings.
they really took so long just to make this happened for us while the other companies already done it and with more details 😭
@@Mufabiaz Yeah, but aren't these kits basically hand grenades ?
@@DX16 yeah most definitely but idk about the new ones, the old sinanju breaks so easily
@@Mufabiaz The old Sinanju Ver. Ka used ABS for the frame, which was changed for PS with the OVA version
@@DX16 Nope
i can't wait!! PLEASE set out the left over parts like you did with the other Narrative!.
I sold my old VerKa Stein when the Narrative came out. but I might build it as the VerKA (old arms/chest but darker colors or custom colors) with the old Narrative, and actually make the new VerKa into the Narrative Vers.
Well I'm glad I have not purchased any of the older MG Sinanju kits, so I'm looking forward to picking this one up 😊
I found your channel just after I had my acident looking for a new hobbie during my recovery started with 1 Hg now I'm onto my 4th rg just 2 months later 😂 cheers mate for all the entertainment and showing me a hobbie I've always wanted to get into
so it's just a reissue with minor improvement. most of the runner are from previous kit 💀
We all knew it was going to be like that bru
This was known awhile ago
I love my OG ver.ka Sinanju Stein. So I’m happy they redid it with separated parts for the Sleeves markings and gave it more weapons. Although personally I much prefer the stormtrooper white colors of the original as opposed to the Narrative’s grey coloration. The grey just looks off to me.
VER KA? meanwhile we're still waiting for the g-reco promise
Honestly eye stickers for parts from an older master grade are fine honestly and besides it can be painted
Comparison of the two sinanju stein narrative and their accessories, what's the difference
And can they use each other's
I've never built a Sinanju kit yet. I was saving an alloy frame to use with a Takumi Studios Conversion Kit whenever I can find one, but I may try it out on this kit to go with my Narrative Gundam.
I would like to see a comparison between the previous MG and the HG sinanju stein and if it is possible tp build any different varient of sinanju with the extra parts
I personally loved every second of the build of the Sinanju OVA variant. My only complaint is that the hands absolutely cannot hold any of the weapons. For some strange reason they just don’t.
For someone who doesn't have ANY Sinanju kits, (like me) would you say this is the definitive one to get? Why or why not?
there are also Sinanju Build Fighters variants but only in HG forms, it would be cool to have MG versions.
im glad we got this and not an actual kit
Does this kit color separate the red highlights on the leg thrusters? Or are those stickers like on the last MG Stein Narrative Ver?
I still would think a full G-Gundam line would be better for master grade. Just because there are so many different gundams in the series. But i guess the unicorn and seed lines are just real money makers.
You should try all the alternate parts to see if they still fit
with all the leftover paarts between these kits can you make a franken Stein?
adding stickers to my hg sinanju stein while watching this
i am very jealous and my addiction grows stronger
Just got to work , perfect timing. Cheers
Also question: how does the white sinanju stein (non sleeve) compare to this one? I honestly prefer the non sleeve variant to this one, design-wise
I’d love if you could do a side by side with the other manuals to see if the build is any different in any significant way!
It isn't. The vast majority of the kit is the same. The majority of the runners are the same. Primary difference is basically just in some detail parts (like the sleaves markings). That's fine though since most negativity about the MG Sinanju kits is grossly overblown (just like it is with the RG Sinanju).
@@Loli-Knight interesting, do you know if the chin part is still a sticker?
I definitely want to see what you don't and do like the kit and how it compares to the Narrative!
Question: since the majority of this kit seems to reuse the old stein parts. Is it possible to add in the new parts back onto the old ones as part of a hybrid kit?
I would presume so, doubt the engineering on the parts that you'd transplant has changed in a way that makes them incompatible
Man This looks nice I really look forward to getting this, let’s just hope my local gundam store gets this
🤞Fingers crossed for Bandai, hoping the 5th try is perfect! 🤖
I love the red sinanju, i also would love to see a do-over version or RM or maybe even call it 2.0 idk lol...
My questions are:
1. Are the colors any different compared to the ones you revealed before?
2. Is there any extra accessories?
3. Are the joints better or worse?
1. No, except for sight/lens on the guns
2. Extra axes and axe effects
3. Same old PS, basically the same
@@linhnt23 Thx-
What about the ever important ab crunch? Ive had the original stein but I sold it a long time ago. I remember it doesnt have any ab articulation
Man wish my pre-orders would actually go through for HLJ so I could get these kits...
Per the lore, the Sinanju Stein is the base MS which, when under transport, was hijacked by the Sleeves. They then tested it , putting the sleeve markings and then Full Frontal decided it is his suit so it changed to the Sinanju. This is based on the Unicorn timeline and not the Narrative timeline. Hope this helps. :)
Tecnically this part of the lore also applies to Narrative, the difference's that there were 2 Sinanju Steins being transported, but then it changes again, because it's said in Unicorn that the 2nd Sinanju was dismantled and used on Angelo's and Marida's MS, but in Narrative it's said that the 2nd Sinanju is the one Zoltan uses, which also makes sense since that Sinanju's missing some details Frontal's Sinanju had (aside from the Sleeves because branding 👀) and they didn't have time to repaint it
On the subject of 1/100 articulated hands. I built kits with the "emotion manipulators" (like the VerKa Nu and the Origin Grandaddy) that come preassembled on the runner and the MG 2.0 hands (like on the grandaddy 2.0 and the Zaku II 2.0).
I have to say I hate the emotion manipulators. They are so delicate and constantly fall apart. And I can't get them to make a fist.
On the other hand, I rather like the MG 2.0 hands. Though probably oversized, they are sturdier. I don't really mind three of the fingers being attached since it makes it more solid, and you can separate them if you so choose.
Swappable hands probably are the best looking, though. Would have been nice if Bandai included swappable hands along with the articulated hands for MG kits and let the user decide which to use.
i cant wait for a next week to get my ..just pre- oder after this video
I hate these hands, the fully articulate hands are horrific to me, they don't hold things very well and if they fingers pop out they'll never stay tight again it makes me super sad.
Cant wait for the review
I bought the Narrative Stein before and painted the sleeves. I am not buying this one anymore, but I hope they make one for the sleeves of the regular Sinanju color separated too. My question is, for the people who already have the previous Stein MG versions, is this still worth to buy?
This is honestly kind of crazy. The standard MG Stein Narrative already includes the pieces for the entire MG Stein Ver Ka build, in addition to the parts for the Narrative version. I struggle to see the point of a Narrative Ver Ka, other than acknowledging that they did a quarter-ass job of making the MG Stein Narrative in the first place, (since the original Ver Ka kit that's automatically included is better anyway. I guess if you want an easier way of making the sleeves look good that's one thing, but still, I'd much rather have a good RG Sinanju Stein than a slightly improved MG Stein compared to the already decent MG kits that exist.)
All you can really do is shrug at this release. Granted, while I’ve built the MG Phenex, I don’t own a single unicorn MG, so of course I wasn’t going to be thrilled with this, but there are so many more important mobile suits that need a refresh, if you weren’t going to do a new one altogether.
Yeah, a MG Exia 2.0 is much needed
I feel like bandai just doesn’t see numbers on those kits or either they are bias to some kits 😅
@@akali2927 More like Katoki loves his designs
@@akali2927 I have no doubt that it's a seller and I know fellow collectors who absolutely LOVE the sinanju stein, especially over Full Frontal's version.
There might even be a genuine love for this design and an interior wish to 'do it right' (in which case, why not the actual Sinanju which suffers far more problems).
However, even if this sells a ton of kits, there is still a long term benefit in doing older mobile suits, such as a 2.0 God Gundam, Ground Gundam, Gouf Custom and a boat load of other suits that never got a release, like the non-EW Wing MS' and the Leo.
It really seems like Unicorn (along with Seed) is Bandai's favourite child. They get all the attention and the other series get mostly ignored.
Can you please show all the leftover unused parts after the build? If I’m going to spend money on that chonky box, I’m definitely going to try to use all that leftover plastic for a kit bash.
I've seen people calling this a 1.5 version from the original MG OVA and I personally agree. The only thing thats new here are the color seperated parts and some new weapons.
more like a 1.2
The hands could be from the dom 1.5, as it used hands similar to the sazabi ver ka but not quite the same
Watching from philippines.I always watching your vlog. I love gundam also.
Can you try to put the color separated sleeves part on the red sinanju verka
I would love a size comparison to this kit between the Red sinanju, the Stein Ver.ka, the OG MG and then the narrative gundam
Man, I was building my hg Destiny Gundam last night, and one of the posts on the waist that you attach the leg at the hip broke off, so I’m about to go to hobby lobby and see if they have another one.
8:43 I think those are from MGEX Strike Freedom. Cause I'm pretty sure all MG after it doesn't use pre-mold hand
Also. Can you do a comparison between this kit and all previous Sinanju you had review
Sinanju Stein Nt. was my second ever kit, for good reason, this design is very nice. Looking forward to my own and especially applying water-slides and panel lining.
For questions,
Does anything feel innovative, but actually well implemented when it comes to bettering quality, since this is a Ver.Ka update (Especially joints)? How much under-gating is there? Does the build feel intuitive at all, like the RG Sazabi if I were to give an example. How do the parts layer? Are the colors at all different, or is it a direct comparison to the older kits? I'm also curious how easy it would be to put something metallic behind the eyes. (Also if the fin falls off easily, my HG lost its fin long ago.
Just wanted to cover a few bases with these many questions, thank you for reading.
I think the hands were used in 2022’s Unicorn Gundam Luminous Crystal Body, a Gundam Base exclusive.
Is the Bazooka in this version of Sinanju compatible with the Sazabi Ver Ka Long Rifle?
In terms of "is it worth getting over the Narrative version MG Stein", the narrative MG Stein is basically unobtanium now, so yeah.
Still wondeimring if you pre-ordered any armored core kits and are gonna review em. Not the 30 mm ones, but the ones that have been coming out one or two at a time each month, for the whole year so far
Would love to see what's leftover and what can you make from them
Really love your content :) !!!!!!
Take a shot when Mecha says "Sinanju"
Pretty sure those hands would be from the MGEX Strike Freedom. Zeta had the bigger partially white hands.
Please compare with the og msv stein ver ka, I would like to know what non sleeves version parts it includes.
How sturdy is the plastic for the build? Any fragile bits or points to be cautious with?
What are the odds this is just a minimal effort shoe in cuz Bandai was afraid of the backlash if they once again only announced 1 MG for that year.
It IS very heavily based on the older MG Sinanju kits
They more or less did. People can call this a "New Mg kit" for all they want but it ain't new to me when 80% of the kit is exactly the same as something that released a decade ago.
This can be good for people without any prior versions, but on Bandai's part to even sell this as a "new kit" is just bandai greed and laziness in a nutshell.
@@RayFChung Or just the fact they're good at selling things. You need to do that when you're selling products
I wish they made the older sinanjus with color separations.
Red stickers are definitely disappointing
|
Anyway a few questions:
|
QUESTION 1: Once you are done building, are the leftovers still as bad as the old Stein? You pay extra for stuff you don't use after all. (And for the bigger box and shipping weight!!)
QUESTION 2: Very curious about the new waist on the kit. I wonder if it gives you more movement than the older Sinanju's? There's a fairly elaborate waist joint that kinda gets locked in place by the original armor to prevent it from sagging backwards.
QUESTION 3: The Narrative is a (sort of) prototype to the Nu Gundam while the Sinanju is a prototype to the Unicorn while also being heavily based on the Sazabi design wise. If possible please compare it with those two as well instead of just the Narrative. It makes more sense considering when it originally came out.
Since i dont have any MG stein versiona ill probably pick this one up at some point
How's quality of that 2022 fully articulate hands ?
I feel terrified by only looking at it , have some trouble with my Nu ver ka lately, those fingers just don't want to stay put lol
My question would be for the end of the review. Is this kit actually worth it, seeing as how so many runners are recycled from older kits all the way back to 09 to now? Does this feel like enough of an upgrade to justify getting this rather than an older version?
My question is how many runners are actually new to this kit? I would hope that there are a good amount although, as the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
its not that much. only 3-4 runner are brand new
So I have the OVA Sinanju MG with the Takumi Studio's conversion, the Ver Ka Stein, the MG Narrative Stein, and a Daban Ver Ka Sinanju. My question is, with having just about every MG Sinanju there is. Is this worth getting? Is there enough difference between this and the MG Narrative to warrant spending money on it?
I love the Sinanju and definitely want a 1/100 representation of it, but I’m in limbo cause I don’t know if I should just buy an existing one and paint it, or if they’re gonna release a 1.5 with color separated gold pieces
needless to say but its best to compare with the 1st release of the Sinanju and see how far it has come and the 1st Sinanju Stein to see whats new and whats unchanged.
with more that 1 MG Sinanju steins, you can duel weild practically everything. "Full Armour" Sinanju Stein?
First time I've seen a video come out "seconds ago"
It will be a MASSIVE shame if we do not get a Tallgeese III or a serpent custom Ver Ka in the next few kits.
The hands are probably from the MGEX Strike Freedom gundam.
Can you check the compatibility with the MG VerKa Sazabi's Long Range Beam Rifle?
They might, they just might
3:44 With this MG MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.) "Ver.Ka", I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai reuses this to make a 'new' MG MSN-06S Sinanju and give it a weird subtitle to differentiate it from the Ver Ka and OVA version. Maybe they'll call it Ver UC 0096?
8:43
In terms of retail released MGs, in 2022 we got the MS-09 Dom (2022) and MS-09R Rick Dom (2022).
Both of those used the "Emotion Manipulator SP (MP2)".
MG MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam "Ver.Ka" came out in 2023.
It uses the fixed pose hands.
MG MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.) "Ver.Ka" uses the "Emotion Manipulator SP (MP1)"

Is it possible to make the Normal Sinanju Stein with this kit? I always liked the colors of the narrative version better. Also did they fix the waist/hip joints?
If you mean the joints from the 2008 MG Sinanju Ver. Ka, they were fixed since the OVA version
Okay, I'll just get another narrative ver ka I guess
Are you gonna review the new stargazer i see going around?
Hi mecha!!! I have a quick question¿Are u gonna try Gundam breaker 4? 👀👀
As someone currently working on a pg banshee norn I just gave one thing to say…
PERFECT GRADE SINANJU WHEN, BANDAI????
Virgin Frontal Chad Zoltan.
Predicted this 5 years ago(I hoped for it 😭🙏)
Question for the review: does its gun still work with the Sazabi ver ka like in the normal mg?
This is like the third sinanju stein
Brother, I just bought the hg yesterday!
I forgot how many new parts the Og stein got and even the non-ver ka narrative ver.
I just built the older Ver Ka stein and the hands drove me mad. Constantly losing fingers.
Is it UV reactive what is the size comparison to the narrative Gundam ver. Kai, what are the upgrades, what are they comparison to the last Stein
Do some size comparison with the MG Phenex and MGEX Unicorn. Onigaishimas
Sorry to get off topic but is there a chance you'll review the einta industries sky defender?
Is it compatible with all the other version of Sinanju in every regards
Please god I need a 2.0 of the red Sinanju
OO-! I've got one of these.. got it years ago for my birthday but wasn't permitted to use the airbrusher.. (???) Thus I refused to make it since I'd never do it justice otherwise.
Wonder what I should do with it. I wonder which one of the five it is too..
How easy is it to use the old parts on the new version? Primarily because I want to customize this without destroying the sleeves parts.
can it hold the Beam rifle without sagging? Dose it have an area on the forearm to possible stabilize it, much like the can be fond on the 00 Quantum?
Just finished the original Stein Ver Ka (a thing of beauty!). But I have a question: on the bazooka runner (P) which seems the same in the new kit, what is the part P9 for??
They got it right the first time... all the Sinanju MGs are fine if you don't manhandle the things...
nearly most mgs being release recently are ver ka's
no extra hip joint like the old mg sinanju stein?
