You’re the one who asked for an mg narrative in the hg review
I’m really hoping this is actually true! 🙃
@@MechaGaikotsu IT WAS YOUUUU
haha busted bro@@MechaGaikotsu
@@MechaGaikotsu check it yourself 😂 8:26 in that video
@@danyloboiko9011 Well, indeed I did ask for it!
what i really dig about these mgsd kits is the detail in the head. its like they took the actual 1:1 size mecha and shrank it without losing detail. looks soooo cool.
This!
I love the way you can see the "camera's" in the eyes, pair that with the fact it's a mini master grade, the sheer amount of detail they pack in is incredible! Definitely need this next to the MG Barb's!
I plan on using some of the MGSD parts on the actual MG. Like the head and shoulders. I think it will fit in quite nicely
@@MrMuiliehad the same thought too! Especially the shoulders. I recently bought the msgd barbs and tried to put on the mgsd shoulders onto the mg but unfortunately it wont work straight out of box. Need some customization.
I am hoping whatever improvement they are doing with MGSD (in specific, the detail in the eyes) would transfer over to newer MG in the near future, if we are lucky enough to get them.
Mecha you got me into gunpla and now i have a whole collection. Thank you so much for opening my eyes man🙏🏼
Same for me, my first one was the rg sazabi
Me too my first kit was the hg destiny
Really loving all the shots of your kits in your new city. The lighting is literally perfect in those
I got this from my friend as a birthday gift because he knew I'm a huge gundam barbie fan 🤣. And I truly happy and appreciate it so much!
I’m hoping for an RG Barbatos. That would be sick.
I just want anything RG from IBO at this point….. anything at all would be nice
It’s purely speculation on my part, but I have to wonder if the drop off in MGs is because of the explosion in Gunpla’s popularity, making it hard to produce as much new product, not to mention the massive uptick in HG kits taking priority, both WFM and other series (Scopedog, Kyoukai Senki etc.) I know they’re still building another factory to keep up with demand, so perhaps MGs will become a little more common again after that opens
What I'm guessing is because the price of oil increased. Since HG kits contains less plastic, they could sell more with less plastic.
The real answer is the pandemic worsening the inflation rate and affecting everything including the weak yen, expensive materials, logistics, etc.
@@wulf8889Isn't that also why Bandai has been experimenting with recycled plastic and plastic substitutes? It's getting to the point where it might be more sustainable to switch off plastic but in doing so it could lead to bigger kits than HG becoming really hard to produce due to the inflation. It's why even though the Ecopla line is far more sustainable, it'd be a lot harder to push it anywhere but P Bandai. Despite them probably being designed to at least take up to 50% of the load off of Master Grades, it's kinda hard to justify it for how much R&D it would take. It's the Gas Vs Electric argument except in Gunpla form.
the HG also got much much better in the last couple of years, both the normal releases (WfM) and premium bandai variants. The "inner frame" is just not the highest priority nowadays it seems: articulation and details are.
@@Zeromaru42ecopla is more of a marketing thing than a line. they are already using ecopla in some regular kits. it's marked on the boxes (my mg astray red frame kai did for example). the issue is that ecopla is only really used for dark colours because it's hard to make other colours (cause if how dyes work), and only so effective to use as a technique
I want mgsd aerial if they do make it. I would buy both barbatos and aerial if they came in mgsd.
Yep. I definitely want one of those. Sucks a bit that I have to get it through local private vendors though. I always have a soft spot for the SD line since they just often look so solid, like if people ever bring a gundam into reality, I think they would be about that size since they can move and perform in urban areas much better. But still, thanks for the great review.
The smaller stature actually makes it look more stout and less anorexic compared to the 1/100 and HGs. Hopefully that makes it stay stable over a longer period of time compared to the larger scaled kits.
I always found that interesting about the barbatos' design. It looks so skinny, yet so bulky.
What are you talking about? The Barbatos is way bigger than every other 100th scale Gundam due to the proportions. The MG Barbatos is amazing.
Eversince Bandai expanded its plamos other than gundams, the MGs were forgotten. Another reason, I think they are also minimizing the number of plastics included per kit.
You say that first statement like its a bad thing. I for one love that bandai have been branching out to other mecha franchises that I love too, like the new Macross kits for example. Honestly, there are a good number of mg kits in my backlog I could care less about wanting a new one anytime soon. Sure it sucks that we haven't seen any new proper mg in a while, but we've got damn good kits recently that are also of high quality that makes up for it. Fm aerial, fm forbidden, zeta ver ka, rg epyon, mgsd freedom and barbatos.
dude i love gunpla and i love watching gunpla builds and your videos but damn these mgsd kits are going mad atm. keep up the good work though i love your vids and i watch the backlog that i have seen to fall asleep to. :)
Nice review plus I love this better but the fact that it doesn’t have the pistons on the legs and feet that the original mg Barbados had is a little bummer but other than that, this might be my favorite mg and gunpla. (I plan on getting this for my birthday, march 11th.
Just wanna say, I really dig the cityscape diorama from the previous video being used as a background for the review! It's awesome!
God I want them to release the knight gundam in this new style so badly. Getting a regular MG of it would be cool too even though I already have the metal robot lacroan hero.
I'm looking forward to the MG Narrative Gundam. A companion to my Narrative MG Sinanju Stein.
Picked mine up today. Can't wait to get the build done.
To me, the fact that this exists shows that Bandai is really trying to take steps to phase out MGs. It seems as though they might simply not be as profitable as other lines, and this feels like an attempt to capitalize on the wider appeal of cute robots rather than a smaller but more dedicated consumer base.
My sentiments are the same. I hate the thought of mg kits getting phased out, and really wish they could open a factory here in the states we could buy from instead of having to go through 3rd parties that jack up the prices.
I think mg’s are kinda limited by the physics- long levers and big mass with set characteristics for plastic- kinda hard to create something extremely impressive without complications. Mgsd does not have to deal wirh physics that much, so bandai can put more stuff into them
@@leomoshes2791 Midwit tier comment
I need newer MG Zakus before/if it gets phased out 😭
Guessing they're gonna do MGSD Lupus Rex.
Really wish we'd get more Master Grades..
More MGIBO Gundams, MG Graze, MG G-Reco, MG TWFM, ect.
Based on the kits they relased I'm guessing their using popular gundams to boost popularity of the line.
I got a pretty good feeling the next kit is either a nu or a unicorn gundam.
Me personally I'm wishing for MGSD Zeta Gundam.
God I hope we get some MGSD from the Sangoku Soketsuden/Heroes World series! I love the designs of those guys, but want some real articulation/color separation (fawk them stickers lol)
Yes! The Cao Cao wing Gundam or Liu Bei unicorn Gundam to name two that I really think should be mgsd. Or they could go the build fighters/divers route and do the Barbatos from SD soketsuden.
Oh hell yes! I love the design of those kits, I can only imagine how they would look as an mgsd. Though knowing bandai, they would probably make them pbandai 😅.
Just ordered mine can't wait to build this lil demon
I asked for it, been waiting for a MG Narrative since 2018
Fun fact : sword of barbatos in this kit that made from center grey part and two white parts sandwiched it, is actually lore accurate, barbatos used naked sword before having it a hand guard(if I'm correct), for the hg though bandai make two separate sword
the backpack also moves a little bit, up and down. just a slight movement. gives you more flexibility when it comes to posing.
I thought i was the only one who has the nub marks on the blue parts in the elbows lol..
all in all, it's a really solid kit. love every detail of it.
Cant wait to see an MGSD kit from Zeon.
I'm excited for the MG narrative, I love that gundam and the exposed inner frame
The gold and silver parts look surprisingly nice. And the pink parts are really cool!
I would also love to see a normal master grade. Bandai please. The SD proportions on this aren't my thing but the execution of the kit does look like perfection.
Am I the only one who asked for a MG Narrative?
I did, it is a lead Gundam, it deserves it!
I did as well, but not a ver ka. 🫠
I am hype for it! I love ver ka
I asked for a ver ka and Bandai delivered
I'm hoping for MGSD Wing Gundam and Exia. Burning is also cool now that I've seen the Barbatos
MGSD God and Shining Gundam would be ultra cool, G Gundam needs more regular release kits (the rose and maxter being p-Bandai broke my heart😢)
Mgsd exia would blow mg exia out of the water by a mile
Burning? I doubt they'll do an MGSD of any Build Fighters lmao. Heck, Burning still has no MG yet.
The only SD kit I'm genuinely considering getting.
Im REALLY hoping that since these MGSDs have such crazy detail that it is foreshadowing a generational leap for MG coming soon. Sort of how g witch kits feel like a leap forwards for HG
I'm actually quite fond of these proportions. I just hope they make these versions after their MG counterparts and not before. It adds another layer of possibilities for displaying your kits.
Imagine MGSD Gusion Rebake with a full functional transforming helmet instead of parts swap. 😁😁
Impressive Gundam Barbatos, hope for a PG soon! 🤞🚀
i somehow guessed that in a few minutes youre gonna send a barbatos mgsd vid but i didnt expect it this soon lol.
Epic, love the mgsd strike😊
The head cameras really looks great.
I asked for it. Ive seen hundreds asking for narative... glad we got it.
I wish they made these kits act sort of like expansion kits of the existing master grades they’re based off of; made them more part-swappable. I love the shoulder gimmick.
hope we get a Lupus Rex version of this guy, the SDCS Lupus Rex has been my fav SD for a while, would love to see it fancied up.
Wow for this and thanks for the review ❤
"Master Grade vanished and turned into SD"
this is literally the plot of SD Gundam Battle Alliance
Weird that we have this before a regular MG barbatos lupus
You tease me with the psycho doga in the credits
I was just slightly too late to pre-order it
I would LOVE a Wing Zero Custom of this i love the details of these
"there could be a gundam frame 02 in future!!"
-the same thing you said about the last time they did this :^)
Imagine of this gets the MG Barbatos inner frame treatment
The fact that Bandai has the inner frame and never made a folle up
I love that the backpack articulation is sooo much better than the mg itself lol
Maybe we're at a turning point where MG splits into multiple lines permenantly. Maybe soon all normal MGs will be Ver Ka level, while SD is the fun collectibles and EX are the high end super kits
I dig this actually!
It's already happened
It's pretty obvious that bandai's "affordable premium" line is RG, and little by little FM is becoming the focus of the 1/100 scale with ver ka still around to give the scale a premium touch.
this is absolutely awesome!
i clicked on the HLJ link the minute this video was uploaded and the kit was already on backorder.
Really hope they eventually make an MG or MGSD of the Gundam Barbatos Lupus or Lupus Rex
This is beautiful. This is giving me sd gundam battle alliance vibes.
I dont think Mika ever used the smoothbore gun without keeping it attached to the backpack subarms. Pretty sure thats part of why its so stable, being braced in the back as well as the grip.
The shoulder gimmick is so cool!
It's a crime that we're getting the narrative ver ka instead of the GP01 or EZ8 getting the Ver Ka treatment
After MGSD we will get METAL ROBOT SPIRITS ＜SIDE MS＞ Gundam Barbatos (1st to 4th forms), after that RG, then cycle again to MG Barbatos Lupus and so on....
If this is the step Bandai takes for future kits, then it won't be bad
A lot of people would stop building though there’s a lot who are MG purists. And a LOT of people who really hate SD no matter how detailed it is and hate the fact that MGSD exist. If Bandai doe move to just MGSD and the other iterations of MG instead of regular mainline Gunpla would get less fans I think but that’s just speculation
I wish bandai would release MGSD GOD GUNDAM,MGSD SHINING GUNDAM OR ALL DIFFERENT GUNDAM MGSD
Just built mine a few days ago. It really is better than the MG. The feet are more secure and solid, and don't use a c-clip. They put the opening gimmick on the knees instead of the arms, which is better executed than MG. And the shoulder armor can be easily swapped off to put it in an incomplete 1st form.
MGSD again proves they can squeeze so much detail and mechanical design into a small scale. This might be too optimistic, but an RG Barbatos seems slightly less impossible now. Also, seeing that huge chipped off damage on the left ankle armor in the beginning, RIP.
i actually feel like i can actually chase after this whole series buy it all as they release more.
When I saw this when it was announced, I kinda wished that they added this amount of details in a real master grade or a metal build.
Something tells me Bandai is trying new things like those translucent plastic parts on MGSDs first before implementing them on mainline MGs
It’s a great kit. Still wish that Master Grades comes back.
Its so CUTE and menacing XD
Raise your mini flag
The runner names are just future proofing for if Bandai ever decides to release a kit based on something they release. The IBO Gundam frame is the perfect example, they postponed any other MG IBO Gundam release but the frame is available once they do release the others. I do hope MG makes a comeback soon cause all the good Gundams are either P-Bandai or get turned into a Metal Build
So happy to see posable fingers again
Wish they did a mg graze but this is cool
Whoa didn't even know this was coming out... I want it...
the reviews i watched so far for this kit have been all stellar. make my waiting of it to arrive from preorder even more unbearable 😅
You may dislike the narrative ver ka but i really like how the torso looks with the core fighter, I kinda want to chrome and matte top the psycho parts
Ignore him, he's talking out his arse because he's biased towards 00 and Seed kits...
@@dominicpizzey1515yeah no, the Narrative is ass.
be real, real nice to get a mg calibarn
I sure miss Super Deformed kits with those cute anime eyes.
I hope they do a Sangokuden for this line.
This is my new favorite kit of 2023
im still waiting for bandai to make a MG full armor 7th
Been waiting years for the mg Flauros like they said they would, and then they make this
Nah, I was the one who asked for an MG Narrative Gundam because I just like it's exposed frame so much that it deserved it or at least an RG.
I Think this is the best looking Barbatos by far!!! ...despite being one of my favourite suits on screen i always thought the it never really translated well into gunpla for me, given it's kinda odd rounded shapes etc... but it turns out most my gripes are gone when shrinking it down like this and making it thicc!
If this keeps up, we may (hopefully) get an MGSD Star Winning Gundam.
this line a very cool idea, but i wanna see them do things that actually need the treatment (IE: SD ninjamaru, SD winning gundam, ETC).
I actually have the perfect tool for nub marks. I use a Raser Origin glass file and the nub marks are almost non-existent! Such a useful little file!
did you break Barba's leg armor?
dayum... I can feel the pain here :v
MGSD Exia of course!
Im ready for gwitch MGs
the word you were looking for was "honeycomb" or compound, like what you see in kamen rider eyes.
I really want a MGSD Unicorn for my collection.
I asked for the narrative! Fite me!🎉😊
Let’s see if Bandai makes an expansion part set for the MGSD so we can see it in all the other forms.
Just what is going on with Mg? Witch From Mercury is right there waiting for its own!
If you ever saw how long it took IBO to get a single MG, it might take a long time
Holy crap. I wanna get one 😍
it has articulated "Hands" again articulated "Hands"
I'll take any gundam except the normal and lupus Barbatos. Rex, Bael, any version of Kimaris, Gusion, just anything please Bandai.
this one look fun to be custom paint
We don't need that MG Narrative Gundam tho ..but Bandai still did it 😅
I kind of wish some of these gimmicks were featured in the 1/100 MG.
Hey!!! I asked for a MG Narrative Gundam. How dare you. Brown Tier comment
0:37 let's see when you do a review on that
I was the one who asked. Because i love narrative gundam
