Me: * tries to be responsible and save money*
Mecha Gaikotsu: You need this mecha model kit
Me: well, he makes some good points
Don't worry the link he has shows it's discontinued already
@@gunplafan158 yeah it was a limited first release with clear parts :/
It's available at newtype!
Let's take a minute to admire the smart move Bandai pulled on us: clear armor, which is EXACTLY what we need for any inner frame paint applications to shine. It's only sold in the first batch. This model is gonna sell like hot bread (and I hurt my wallet but just ordered mine...).
I love the Kyoukai Senki mecha designs in general despite not jiving with the anime. Reminds me of like an IBO take on Armored Core.
While I'm not a fan of the limb designs on some of Kyoukai Senki's mechs, I must admit that is a very good looking kit for a 'non-grade'. A cut above the standard of the Full Mechanics IBO kits.
As much as I love my FM Lupus and Lupus Rex, I will admit that you are right.
this reminds me of the main mech in titanfall 2. I imagine there's probably going to be lots of kitbashes to make titans.
For anyone wondering the Full mechanics Kenbu Zan is also amazing! Has a little extra armor and a big ass sword but unfortunately no awesome big gun 😢 but it does have a cool gun that goes on the arm which is also pretty cool.
I have to say, I really like the idea of the hands here having the back be part of the swappable bit. It seems like it allows for a much more secure attachment for both it and the accessories than the standard MG swappable fingers, which just have that palm peg holding all the weight.
Mecha, Ive gotta say, i really enjoy the quality of your videos the past few months. Great review as always!
I absolutely adore the different texturing used on some parts, most notably the rifle. Such a nice touch.
I chanced upon one of these about a month? ago? Been waiting for your review on this, and I agree. It’s been one of my favorite builds so far this year. In fact every kit out of the kyoukai senki line so far has been a joy! A rock solid build with a non standard feel. Last time I enjoyed a build this much was when I put together the RG Eva unit one. It and it’s smaller brethren are fun escapes from Bandai’s usual offerings
The comparison with Unicorn was great.
Gundam drops the gun, kenbu becomes an kencake.
I picked up the HG kenbu last year and I loved it. The articulation was insane! it looked so cool up on my shelf. But it’s waist just randomly snapped. I don’t know how I just picked it up one morning and it broke.
wait your waist snapped too? i got the same problem man. When I play with it and boom the eaits just snapped ;(
And the best about that kit is for me its unique and there is a undefined or hard to explain feeling when im building and finish this kit
I was just gonna say I had that happen the other day :((( idk how to fix it without having to permanently limit the waist articulation D:
@@leonardode-pinchy3234 which joint specifically?
@@leonardode-pinchy3234 if it's the ball joint that snapped then you'll need to drill a hole into both the ball and the other joint and put a brass tube there to reinforce it
3/4 of the way into a custom kenbu project and the build of this thing is indeed awesome. It's just plain sturdy
Just finished building mine last weekend must say I'm extremely impressed.
How is it holding up? Are the joints still good? No loose parts?
Yup still solid to this day!@@inkshimada5823
Thank you for this Review I've been searching everywhere 😊 love from 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️
You mentioned the anime not being very popular, but bandai has been making a few models. It kinda reminds me of classic bandai in the 90's and early 2000's when they were making models of just about anything Mecha related. I hope we're getting back to that trend with some of the new RG's that were announced. Thanks for the review!!
Can't wait for mine. Need to get back into a build soon too. Much needed.
Love the fact you showed this kit next to a Mega Size Gundam, as I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive with a Mega Sized RX-78.
Got this straight when it came out and it's fantastic! My biggest disappointment was the fact that frame parts and Kenbu specific parts were on the same runners, which makes it unlikely we'll see the other mechs from the line. At least we're getting another Kenbu!
I'm sure that's really intentional in design since the protagonists(the 3 characters) amaim/mailes are similar for the chest/body. While everything else is entirely different throughout. So I can see it making a bit of sense
I've been eyeing this kit since it dropped. Definitely gonna pick one up when I can afford it.
God I just, this is absolutely beautiful as a model kit. It pretty much does what a mecha model kit does and does it amazingly.
Too bad I still don't really like the design for these mecha, but hey as a model kit enjoyer I think I'll still love it to bits.
I’ve been waiting for your review on this!!!! Thank you papa Mecha 😌
Me too!!
I've been waiting on what Mecha's thoughts about this... I already bouht this kit and I do hope they release the Jogan and Reiki in this scale too!!
What impresses me most is that it's thankfully sturdier (and better-looking) than the NG IBO kits.
Eat your heart out, Post-Disaster timeline. Ken Okuyama's Hondam did it again.
I'm really excited about the kits from the 2nd season, the HG Amaim weapon set, Jorgan Kai, Reiki Kai, Kenbu Zan, and Byakuchi F.G.E. I hope u will review them all when they come out.
I love how unique the joints are, buy I'm not crazy about the permanent crouch/raptor pose
I love the design of kyoukai senki mechs they remind me of Halo Elites because of legs and when I put side next to gundam it looks like Spartan and Elite.
i just bought mine on that reccommendation, i do love the related anime which has been a great tide over between Gundam series,.. this kit is gonna look sick on the Shelf!
such a nice build. I'd buy two just so I can have it spar itself. hopefully there is a 1/48 variant or for the other robots in the line
great review, this will be my next AmPla!
Hope you enjoy it!
The comparison with the unicorn is what ive been waiting for haha
so glad i preordered this
The Kyoukai Senki Mecha is making me appreciate Gundam G40 a little bit more
Ken Okuyama's aesthetics is just doesn't fits with a humanoid mech like the Gundam
It's more that Ken Okuyama went for a design philosophy for the G40 that kind of had sports car influences on it, which along with a desire to combine insane articulation with a "retro" appearance made the kit kind of odd-looking.
The Kyoukai Senki designs on the other hand stick to a purely mechanical and futuristic robotic appearance that doesn't attempt to be anything like the G40, and as a result comes out much better.
I’m definitely getting this as well as the Kenbu Zan 1/48 scale. Hoping to see a video review on the Full Mechanics 1/48 Kenbu Zan next in the future.
Me too I've been waiting he's my #1 go to for gunpla reviews love this channel been subscribed for seven years now.
I love seeing that I'm not the only one with dog hair just everywhere while building lololol. I've got a corgi and a husky and let me tell you, it's EVERYWHERE. When you open model kit and let those runners breathe for the first time, fur just zaps in place from the static.
And this time of year is the worst! German spitz and a long hair chihuahua here
I feel you man, I just look away for a second and the runners are full of hair haha
Thats so nice!!
seeing this, I'm really wishing Bandai would also release a Full Mechanic Code Geass kit.
Dude thats going to be hella sick!
I strongly agree with you I owned this model kit , so cool 😎
I've not even watched the video and I'm excited
The Gold Tier logo flashed before transitioning to the Channel Supporters portion.
Damn how I wish the recent IBO Full mechanics are this good
Im enchanted by the geometry of Amaim and how any pose I fudge has drama. You just have to handle one. I'm eager to try it in the no-squinting size.
Really want a kit of the Byakuchi in this scale and quality, would be amazing
8:53 Kenbu: Basically I'm *SMOL*
Will you be showing the clear parts later by chance? Curious to see how they look on the kit
Just saying, I thought an iron diaper wouldv come out about this by now, and Im personally very excited, but a new RG was announced. And its a big one. The Barbatos is finally coming to RG!
RG Barbatos was not announced
i could swear it was, i guess dont trust friends who dont watch this channel (this is not the first time this happened)
@@slimycake6405 lol that was an April Fool's joke unfortunately
i gave the anime a try expecting a remodeled gundam anime but surprisingly got hooked due to the robot designs and a descaled size of the story which made it more enjoyable and easy to digest
I'm new to this hobby, and I have this kit. What is the best way to find out when/if there are slide decals out for this?
I think Bandai was going to launch some kind of campaign for Kyoukai Senki water slide decals. I'm not sure if it's some kind of exclusive waterslides or if there's a chance of a regular release.
Mine is on the way, I want to put some top coat on it..should I do gloss or a flat coat?
its so nice that kyoukai senki kits do not get much attention, since we(senki kit fans) can take all the stock :) it def does deserve much more attention tho.
As for the pilot size-wise, it's even bigger than the perfect-grade pilot figure.
yes, because PGs are 1/60.
I need to know where you got the explosion lighting effects on ur shelf in the beginning of ur vid
How is this compared to the FM Aerial? Seems to me that for a FM kit, this thing is closer to a Master Grade than most Full Mechanics kit out there having a full (yet not too detailed like MG) innerframe which makes it more MG-like than the Aerial and SEED kits. It has a cockpit which usually is a feature not present on FM kits but on MGs, and superb articulation. The fact that this thing has a full innerframe with a cockpit, comes with full color separation and very nice surface details makes this kit stand out from the FM line more than any kit I've seen imo. Even the sword and claws technically aren't color-inaccurate as you can say they are in their inactive state.
Mine had a weird mishap out of the box. The right thigh armour plate had an odd gray spot on it, that wouldn't go away with a file or with paint thinner. Dunno what it was. Everything else in the kit is fantastic, i would absolutely rate this gundarium tier. First kit i ever painted, but i just painted the pistons using the colour index and all 3 blades with silver along the edge. Anyone else looking forward to FM Kenbu Zan?
2nd season/part 2 came out today, let's go!!!
Can you please review the HGBB crimson gouf custom?I'm planning to get one.
outside of this and the giant gundam, are there other mecha kits in the 1:48 scale? i do a lot of modelling/diorama building in that size, and i'd love to include some huge mechs in them as well!
When you say "easy kit", are we talking easy for someone who has not built one ever?
I've always liked these models, aesthetically, but have never purchased and built one.
Past week, I've had the urge again to buy my first gunpla and see how I enjoy the building side.
I know I'll love the end result, presuming I don't ruin it, placed in my room.
I've watched more videos and just getting to grips with the grade acronyms and the scales.
I really like the wild looking Gundam, but looking for something good to start off with.
This one looks a nice mecha, and being a solid model I imagine better for a first build? Less likely to break if bit heavy handed trying to join?
Good video
I got back into the hobby over the pandemic after like a 20 year gap, and there's lots of great ways to start off!
The Kyoukai Senki designs are great for beginners as the builds are super simple with lots of big, solid parts that hold together really nicely. There's minimal fiddling with small detail parts and stickers too.
In terms of the rest of Gunpla I have a few beginner kit recommendations:
Any Entry Grade kits. The EG original RX-78-2 Gundam is possibly the best small-scale model of that suit yet, between the great color separation and absurdly cheap price (highly recommend spending the extra $5 for the version that comes with the full weapon arsenal). The EG Strike also looks great, though feels a little barebones in terms of what it comes with compared to the OG Gundam.
Grunt suits. Basically any suits piloted by mook pilots across the franchise. This includes stuff like the GM, Zaku, Jegan and Jesta for Universal Century, the Leo for Wing, the Dagger L and Windam for SEED, the Graze for Iron-Blooded Orphans etc. These kits are great for a number of reasons. They're simple, they look great, they're inexpensive, and they're customizable.
If you’re worried about breaking it during assembly, then maybe try the HG of this particular mech, which is also very solid. It’s cheaper too so mistakes are less costly.
@@theovermatt thanks very much, I'll take a look into all those
@@misbehaven1237 cheers. This looks a fair price itself, but then with shipping considered it does jump up. So probably sensible to try a cheap a model as can initially. Not that I think I'm heavy handed, but just honestly never done any form of model kits. Thanks for advice
Gunpla really isnt hard to build at all. I started with an RG and moved pretty much instantly to HG's. Its very braindead, just requires some patience.
I was going to comment that you could have compared it to the kits from 86 since they're also 1/48 scale.
Then I noticed you never reviewed the newer Reginleif, did you get them? Are they good?
Please add maybe a hologram overlay on the platinum badge cause rn it kinda looks like silver and that star is confusing at first
I swear to God you did a full mechanics kenbu already....like I swear there was an hg, an fm, and a spirits
Looks like a mix of Barbatos x Astray + Full Armor look
Please Review the Fully Mechanics Kenbu Zan 1/48 :)
Im getting this bro thanks awesome kit lol
Hope you enjoy it!
@@MechaGaikotsu i wil brother i will
Jesus 4K on the website? Wild
I really want to get this kit but I've been waiting on the MG virtue Gundam before it got released. I pre-ordered it and I still haven't gotten it
the mecha reminds me of Knightmare Frame from Code Geass
The leg design makes them seems ready to pounce you at all time isn't?
I'm curious how tall it would be compared to an Armored Core. I know Gen 4 is the tallest but i'm thinking of like AC Vendetta from V or maybe the main AC from AC2AA.
Its nice to be paired with Barbatos or ARF
Im jizzing on my pants imagining a mastergrade of this. With working mechanical details ala MG Barbatos.
Any chance you will review HG Dragonar-1?
Hey Mecha, I was interested in seeing if you could review some Code Geass 1/38 scale model kits? They have some old tech in them but it would be interesting to see if they are any good now days.
Hi Carmine! I actually used to have a whole bunch of them back when I lived in Japan because then used to be really cheap from recycle shops. I had the old Vincent and the Lancelot and to be honest I really didn't like them. They were so simple that they felt unfinished and very toyish, kinda like the Danball Senki kits. Back in 2016 Bandai released the Alexander which was a really great little kit and one that I wish that I still had, that one I recommend if you don't mind painting the details on the kit.
I should be able to get my hands on the new HG Lancelot Albion that is out soon, as far as I know it's heavily based on the older Lancelot, so I'll make sure to give that one a review!
When he did the size comparison with the mega size unicorn all I could think of is "I'll bite your legs off" lmao 🤣
kids are cruel jack, and i love mecha model kits
I was wondering to know why the mech its like robot crouching mode,
En plus je suis fan de kyokai senki 😁😁ce kenbu est tout simplement magnifique 👌👌♥️
How's the kenbu holding up after 3 weeks?
Kenbu zan 1/48 next please 😊
Heya guys I would like to know. Do the Full Mechanics have a pilot like MG model kits?
damn me late but atleast I can watch this again and again
It's got cool legs, kinda looks like an Elite from Halo.
It is essentially perfect. Wonder what could be added into the Master grade if it will get one
Pistons. Working pistons.And sliding armor gimmicks. Oh God that would make me cumpla.
@@ranamores4919 Oh yes
Thoughts on JoyToy Hardcore Coldplay, I’m sure us Gaikotsu 💀 heads would enjoy a review, waiting on a Hunter and Enforcer 😁
I hope that the Byakuchi, Jougan, and Reiki will have 1/48 versions!
Nevermind I got confused for sec with the standard hg’s
and ghost, too!
Wait imagine a Full Mechanics Bunyip Boomerang ,that would be very tall
I'm curious what was that tool you were using for holding the piston while you painted it gold?
....a toothpick?
What did he use to clean up the panel line marks? Any info would help thanks!
I use rubbing alcohol with q-tips or cotton balls. Just a small amount of it is fine. It works for me so
That rifle gives me a lot of alien pulse rifle vibe.
I can hear that rifle just by thinking about it! 😁
I actually prefer some of the side character mechas over the protagonist mecha tho. Hope some of them get a FM version, tho HG Amaim is already pretty cool.
Make a review on Kenbu Zan model
I actually wanted to ask, what do you use to get rid of the splotches for the pour type markers. I’ve been using a regular eraser for getting rid of smudges and stuff, but that doesn’t really work. I think you’re using some sort of rag, but I just want to be 100% sure so I can effectively use the pour type marker
There's an eraser pen that comes with the pack of pour liners, I use that with a microfiber cloth usually, but what I recommend is 99% rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol with a microfiber cloth.
I wrap the cloth around the handle of a file, dip it in the alcohol and then just use that to clean up the marks. The alcohol has a very strong smell so that's why I use the eraser marker most times instead.
@@MechaGaikotsu Oh okay. Thank you very much for the tips.
If the Ghost gets the 1/48 treatment then I’m so down to get that
That would look kickass. Hopefully they expand it beyond the Kenbu
hm... too bad they didn't add yellow jewel stickers for the Limiter Relelease Mode?
Okay, I’m honestly not a big fan of these Senki Mecha designs (call me a OG Lover, but I have my taste of Mecha.)
BUT THIS!! The size and details really sells me on this design!! I may get it in the future…
@MIRAGE MAZINKAISER SAGA a bit late, but it's not. The kit itself is fine from when I built it and played a bit with it. Everything is solid, and I didn't really have an issue with it. It really varies from YOUR experience. So if that guy says it rubbish, it's really only to them. If anything, that's on your judgment and choice if you want to buy this kit, but then, I do recommend watching other reviewers if you're not too sure
@MIRAGE MAZINKAISER SAGA makes sense looking at it now, but yeah, nothing wasn't given on why. Just no explanation, but we're looking in too deep because the dudes whole channel is filled with gundam. So there's that
Whre can I find the anime,I have been looking and I cannot find it.
Glad they make it as FM
They can slap MG on this kit
if only they put this much effort on creating the anime too, it'd be perfect.
Kyoukai senki line will have water slide decal for hg models
Free now on HLJ with any Kyoukai Senki kits shipped 😁
will there be full mechanic for byakuchi? it would be really nice
I wish!
The kits are great and I thought the Anime was pretty good.
