Not a fair comparison. Dom Tropen is a really old kit from the early 2000s, GM Cannon II was made when Bandai standardize modern joints for Federation suits (using the GM Type C's joints).
Speaking of the Dom Tropen, of the two versions available I'd recommend the desert color version on the grounds it comes with more accessories than the normal purple one.
@@SoloAxlion Precisely. Bazooka,heat saber, 90mm MG plus all the sturm fausts and spare ammo mags. With some fiddling, you can fit everything at once on the rear hardpoints.
Hopefully the fact you reviewed this means more places will get it into stock because I've had this kit in my wanted list for a long while without seeing it
There's a boat load of kits lately from various grades that are just hard to find. Been searching for a MG Z plus C1 for a good while. Some scalpers are asking up to around 160 for that kit!!! There's a real drought currently.
You're 100% correct that this kit is impossible to find for anywhere near the normal price. I've been looking for almost a year. Please reissue these Bandai. Pleeeeeaaaaasseee.
Finally got this kit after years and years of waiting for reissue, cost exactly the same at 1400 yen. now w8ing for zaku f2 fed version to complete my HG 0083 collection
Also zach, the efsf hands is actually sold as a separate builder parts. It has two variants which is efsf square and zeon round. It is pretty hard to get tho
Those don’t look as good as these. They also have that weird joint at the wrist. Personally I also like the covers on these as well. The gm kits from this time had great hands and a full set included.
i love that the jegan echoas has that handholder to. + the side of it can hold the second armored faceplate piece. bandai should do that again... i have a big box of single or handpairs...almost as much as many beamsaberblades
I know this is more of a toned down Alex in cannon chobham but the MP Guncannon vibe on this kit is so strong, I kept calling it MP Guncannon II for 2 years.
Your intros are getting funnier by the video. Also, grunt suits are really looking nice to build. Are you going to repaint this one? As for hands, while it's nice to have multiple ones included in the kit, I'm ok with getting just the standard holding pair.
Chobum armor(did i spell that right?) Is basically spaced armour from world war 2 so i giess thats were the inspiration is chobhum armor is used ti reduce velocity and energy of armor piercing shells and he shells but since high ecplosive shells explode on impact chobum armor i good for a 2nd layer of defence
as soon as he said the skirting armor is a little interesting I was like: "Ahhh yes, the rare back skirt articulation"
Loving this old kit reviews! We need more reviews that do not judge these kit too heavily based on modern standards.
Exactly!
Yes! Old kits get a lot of flak just bc their age and outdated-ness but they’re still really good! Especially this kit
>69 on Jegan
>420 on GM Cannon II
Is there something you want to tell us, Zach?
Don’t forget about his Maganac with the glorious serial number 80085 AND 69!
I didn't pay attention to that
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this.
Noice
Zac is always a man of culture 😂
If you think this boy's thicc, wait until you get to the Dom Tropen. Could barely pose him alongside my other Zeon boys.
Doesn't help that it lacks shoulder movement.
Still, it's probably my favorite Dom model, it's included arsenal is spetacular.

There's also Zaku III
These intro skits are getting more and more interesting

I've had zero luck finding one of these. Hoping for a re-release.
Same here. I'm looking for the custom gm and GPO3D.
they reprinted the gm custom, cannon and gp02
Your goofy intros always give me a chuckle
Hi Zaku. Nice review on the classic gunplas. I appreciate you sharing your views and opinions on them. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!

very nice! love ur hguc old kit review. jegan gm and jesta are my flavor kit
So this is where DM Titus Cannon got its backpack from.
Finally got this kit after years and years of waiting for reissue, cost exactly the same at 1400 yen. now w8ing for zaku f2 fed version to complete my HG 0083 collection
If you end up painting this dude, I think a brown, blue, and gray asteroid camo style paint scheme would look rad!

Yeah those are different in their design. They’re more detailed but honestly I kinda prefer the simpler look of these
well in-universe the GM Cannon II is developed from the Alex which is why its armor resembles the chobam armor.
Found one today at my local gunpla shop for 18 cad $. Along with a ez8!
Well seeing as he looks chobam ish makes sense since the gm custom is a toned down Alex gundam
Just built the pg exia and hirm God gundam and man they are beautiful. I really want the gm cannon and gm snipers next.
i love that the jegan echoas has that handholder to. + the side of it can hold the second armored faceplate piece. bandai should do that again... i have a big box of single or handpairs...almost as much as many beamsaberblades
gotta say, theres a point where waiting for bandai to "reprint" is pointles, wheres the zock etc? at retail prince, not £75 +
Love the new intros !
I like the GM Cannon II it's from my favorite Gundam series. Gundam 0083.
mate loving this backlog destroying. Nice to have a load of solid HGUC kits to check out with you.
the upper arm looks similar to the Powered GM. Mine ended up developing stress marks and cracks later on and ended up fixing it with plastic cement.
I don’t know why but I love these kits with bulky armor. That’s the main reason I prefer zeon’s mobile suits
I know this is more of a toned down Alex in cannon chobham but the MP Guncannon vibe on this kit is so strong, I kept calling it MP Guncannon II for 2 years.
Same! I kept getting it confused
Theres a reason why the hgbc hands exist for both zeon and federation mobile suits
This would look.great in Gun cannon colours.
Reminds me a lot of the Gustav Karl for sure, need more chunky in my life
That armour on the GM Cannon ii remind me of the armour on Alex Gundam
My boy gustav karl still laughing at this mans chonk.
I think Bandai should revise all kits with all waterslide decals.
can you do a review of the hguc stark jegan?
I don’t have one, so not any time soon. Maybe someday!
@@ZakuAurelius Well i hope so,its a cool kit i heard
That intro was nice
It shame bandai couldn't retool hip joint on hguc gm custom
Please review the HG Ez8
I thought he already did?
must be a original mobile suit of new version Jesta Cannon
Basically, what if a Guncannon and a GM Custom had a Child.
Yup.
wait is there a AEUG colors version of this bc i forgot lol
420 nice lol. I ALWAYS mark my grunt suits with 420 lol
Just the thought of having to build a figure myself, ugh
Where can I get one?
It’s a GM and that is very nice
I will subs to you becuz you like gm
GM CANNON II 420 JOHNNY BLAZE
The 420 gm is tops lol
This one NICE review if you know what I mean😉
Why did he become vaguely indian during the intro
This gm has more option hand than aerial😂
Super cool
Chuck who piloted this MS , Couldn't shoot worth a Damn.

Why do you put the funny numbers on your mobile suits
Just to spice it up!
Fo twenny BAABEEE
Crazy how good this is and then you have the gpo2a with the most asinine sticker logic that you'll ever see.
idk why the HG GP02 looks so bad lol
420 hell yeah

Cool
