Disclaimer: I do not currently have my best tools at hand from the move for immigration, and I have also been way out of practice due to the 2-month break I took, so the build and video qualities might have taken a hit. My sincere apologies for that.
no worries, your video is awesome! If you worry about the build quality, it's not your fault since those dark red colored nubs are almost impossible to clean perfectly unless with paint.
With this RG Epyon, it'll probably be a good while before there's a newer HG one to go alongside the other Wing/HGAC kits. Still, pretty solid looking kit overall
@@curiouszaku9537I want a TV version, since the RG and MG are both the imo worse “Katoki” version, with all the added yellow, while lacking a lot of the black
@@milktenders6219 Also both the RG and MG are just recolored EW ver (since the TV ver is also actually designed by Katoki), it has the boosters on the back. With an HGAC hopefully they move it back to the shoulders like in the show.
Im glad you brought up the size discrepancy. Maybe I'm in the minority, but i really enjoy that Gundam model kits are innscale with each other, it makes posing different suits together feel realistic. They did the same thing with the RG Hi-Nu. Honestly, at least the quality is superb, just like the Hi-Nu I'm willing to look past it for the "rule of cool".
You surely are the minority from what it seems, as a lot don't really care about the size discrepancy. It'll look natural in action though, so no biggie there
Does being slightly taller mean that it’s out of scale? Aren’t RGs all redesigns anyway? Maybe this version is just supposed to be taller to begin with.
I will note the Epyon is actually taller than the other gundams from Wing, so it makes sense to be larger, although it shouldnt be taller than the standard RX78. That's probably just a compromise they had to make to get the transformation fully functioning, giving the legs more room and parts.
Possibly a compromise, possibly a part of the RG redesign, who knows why. It will take some time to get used to for me, especially after when I finally reacquire my collection from transit
The runners itself does say 1/144 Epyon. Slightly taller than HG TV Wing Zero. Also the size actually determined accurately by tiny pilot size just by looking more closely on the mobile suit cockpits.
Them saying it doesn't mean that it is. I'm not one of them, but I know some people will get very pedantic over its size, so it's still worth pointing the size out
Thank you for the review, out of all gunpla reviewers i prefer your format above all. Somehow managed to snag one for 28 usd from a trusted seller. So exited to get it.
Put this up alongside the RG Wing Zero EW and you’ll get an incredible Angel vs. Demon dynamic. Overall, the RG Epyon looks like it’s a fantastic kit! 👍🏻
Since I saw height comparison RG Wing Gundam with RG Epyon, I assume RG Wing Zero EW would be look shorter than RG Epyon... The Epyon has gigantic legs for Gundam Wing kits line... CMIIW
Somehow I don't mind inaccurate size of this kit. Same goes with hi nu. If the change of size a little is resulted a best kit I've dreamed I don't mind. It was small price to pay for detailed and perfect kit as results.
By nature the RG line is a massive departure from anime accuracy. So if your ok with that, but draw the line at a modest size change you're playing yourself.
@@mj2005gundam I wrote "you're' as intended for the reader, not you specifically. You were clear that you were just raising awareness to the possible criticism an not expressing your own opinion.
I knew that the RG Epyon was going to be a strongly recommended kit but I just had to watch this because the Eypon was one of my favorites alongside the deathscythe and the Wing Zero. While the builder needing a good amount of experience is a bit terrifying for me since I only mess around with high grades, I have around 7 kits, I may put the Epyon on the someday pile. However, still happy that the kit is still soild despite the issues and that there is no Zechs pilot figure. Great review overall!
You need some experience and good/fresh tools in order to minimize the build process feeling like a chore here, so rush into it at your own risk if you're just starting out. Thank you for popping by!
@@mj2005gundam Nah they feel Pure TV Version maybe EW size perhaps but if feels straight from the TV looked like a Scene from ep .....36 Sanc Kingdoms collapse after epyon Slaughtered some virgos
The RG line is just one more step to becoming perfect. What’s that? The stickers. But kit wise? They have perfected it. Articulation, details, price for value, gimmicks, and now perfectibg their details to include seperated eyes .
Wing's Transformable designs have always been comedic; it's mainly thanks to Okawara; as time would prove, transformables were never his forte, we can see that as well with the new Seed Freedom designs, designers like Junichi Akutsu, or Kazumi Fujita have better aesthetic sense for transformables, that being said I honestly think that this kit is already stunning without the transformable gimmick, but then it's part of the source material so it is what it is. If the RG Wing Zero TV ever comes, I'm sure i'd be blown away by how amazing it looks in MS form, but I'd equally laugh at its bird mode just as I did with both Epyon and Wing TV.
I mean, at least the Wing and Wing Zero had the normal form hidden well enough. When you can still clearly see the head or make out that it's the Gundam lying flat like the Immortal Justice, then that's where I draw the line
I think the height is part of the RG redesigning. Like, the entire mobile suit is redesigned and made to look “real”, why wouldn’t its height change too? Same with the RG Hi-v, it just kinda makes sense a more realistic take on a mobile suit would differ in proportions and details.
That would indeed make a lot more sense than saying it's inaccurate because Bandai are incompetent (unlike the colors of some other HG kits...), and would excuse the discrepancies somewhat.
@@mj2005gundam They aren’t incompetent, and this kit excellently shows that fact. The height discrepancy may be a bug to some, but it really just doesn’t matter to me.
@@elipse371 yeah, I'm saying it moreso for the people who'd say "they can get all of the aesthetics and engineering but can't get the height right". I'm not one of those, but there's bound to be someone who'd be bugged by that discrepancy
I imagine the slightly-larger scale shouldn't be too much of an issue when compared to the HGAC Gundams, as I believe those are also scaled up a bit to fit with the universal joint system. (Similar as for say RG Crossbone being the same size as HGUC Crossbone, which also is ~1/132 rather than 1/144)
I put the Victory there as an analogue, and it's still like a head taller when a 1-meter difference in 1/132 scale shouldn't be that large of a margin. Though, I only pointed it out for the fact that it exists more than me taking an issue with it, because I know someone is bound to bitch about that
I know how you could think the thing that could stress people is the weird scale but i am more bugged by the fact that none of the recent rg boxes are the size they used to be so they look weird together now. What an amazing little kit tho.
You mention that it is a bit big for a 1/144 scale, but the Epyon was a big machine. Just like the size difference between the RX-78-2 and the Nu Gundam the Epyon was a pretty big machine even though most of the Wing G series of MS was on the small size when compared to other MS from other timelines. Great review, very simple and to the point.
The points of attention are different between the two, but the Epyon is easier for the fact that it isn't as complex as the Unicorn due to the transformations
As long as it not massively different I don't mind the size difference, also the transformation is just for bragging rights, I don't believe anyone would display it that way
For different reasons, yes. The Unicorn has the transformation mechanic to work with, while the Epyon just has a lot of thin and brittle parts for achieving the color separation
The RG Gaogaigar is quite the introduction to the RG line, so I guess you'll be fine with the RG Epyon if you just take extra care of the smaller parts like the head
@@mj2005gundam sweet thanks man! Yeah Gaogaigar was something else with him being a combiner and all. Guess Epyon wont prove too much of a challenge then?
So how do i pose this now with my HGAC wing zero? Sure the the Epyon is bigger than the rest of the wing boys but not THAT bigger. Very disappointing. I’m just gonna have to stick with my Robot damashii Epyon
Seems like a good kit that should’ve done more with the arm bits so they wouldn’t get in the way of posing, and just for the sake of ease it also probably should’ve came with an action base. Great review, MJ! Edit: Hoping for another UC or WfM suit next, perhaps the Calibarn or Sinanju Stein with a frame that would begin an RG 2.0 line with Sinanju 2.0?
Yeah I agree. Since the adapters are made to be used with an action base 5, I had to cheat when propping up the MA mode with the sprueless bases I got on my person. Though, if we have to talk next RG Gundam, I would want to see a ZZ. But with G-Witch being the most profitable Gundam series ever, an RG Aerial won't be out of the question either. We'll just have to wait and see if the Force Impulse Spec II is the only RG for 2024
Lets just hope, Bandai will announce/ release RG Wing Zero TV version in 2 or 3 years. With the recently released RG Wing Gundam 01 (TV ver), the RG Wing Zero TV is expected. *Tallgeese (1,2,3) and Gundam Epyon were taller than the 5 Main Gundams.✌️ *With the release of RG Epyon (TV ver), it completed Zechs Mobile Suits in RG.
The RG Wing Proto Zero will be coming in the next 3-4 years I bet you. Yes the Tallgeese and Epyon are taller than the main Gundams, but a 1-meter difference isn't that drastic even in 1/132 scale. Though it could all be a part of the redesign, so who knows? It's up to the individual to see if they give a damn or not.
Honestly I would buy this kit once it out, but I think I would wait what the other HG wing kits would bring up. Sure that we got the 5 gundams and the leos, but we haven’t gotten the Tallgeese (not the ii and iii because those ones are most likely Pbandai) and the Epyon. If possible, I would het both to do a comparison between the two.
I have this coming soon and am excited for it. On the point of light piping, I put the MG endless waltz version of it together not too long ago, I was surprised at a single clear eye/camera piece that they wanted me to put stickers on it. Not sure why they used clear rather than neon green and it would have nice "glowey" eyes. I'm not sure if i can tint the piece to be green something ill be looking into. But why not green to start with?
Because Bandai didn't have much of a concept of tinted clear plastic in the early 2010s, but I imagine tinting the clear piece green should serve you well. The RG also wants you to put stickers over the eyes, but with the being green, and especially having a separate piece for the border, why bother? Unless you want the shine instead of the natural glow, might as well pass them up
You can also paint the clear parts with clear green paint to make it look like it has a green tint. Mix in some clear yellow and clear green to give it the lime green look and then there you have it! Happy building!😊
Damn man you butchered the build. Take your time make it look nice i know you want to get a video out but them cuts are bad for such a legendary Gundam
I know I butchered the build, and I've disclaimed why that's the case in the pinned comment. Even if I took my time, the hardware I have on hand wasn't good enough.
Don’t mind the height like they did with hi v gundam. The proportions are beautiful and if this was any shorter, don’t think it’ll look proportionate or beautiful looking imo.
Well, I pointed it out as more a matter of fact than me taking issue with it, as I know someone is bound to whine about how it's not actually 1/144 scale
Well, kinda yeah. The RG Hi-Nu has size working for it for one, and it doesn't have so much trim detail. Plus, the white and blue is friendlier to work with compared to red and burgundy
I don't understand why my epyon can't stand on it's own maybe it's the winga that are too heavy on the back but it just can't stay standing even in the most basic pose
yeah it was really hard to pose it for me after a while i found out that the problem were the wings pushing too mutch and making it fall farward, so by rotating them now it seems easier to pose and stand, i think it'll need a stand anyway for it to look good tho, thanks for the tips @@mj2005gundam
I fondly remember a Gunpla reviewer saying "If it isn't at 1/144 scale, don't say that it's 1/144 scale on the box" regarding the RG Hi-Nu. I'd imagine there'd be at least some who find it annoying, even if the Epyon is minutely larger than the other Gundams from wing

Can anyone point out where those closed fisted hands in the intro are from?

Woah so rg Epyon as difficult to build as the rg unicorn?
For different reasons, yes. The Unicorn has the transformation mechanic to work with, while the Epyon just has a lot of thin and brittle parts for achieving the color separation
Is this better than his MG counterpart? I couldn’t decide which of the grade i want to buy 😢

Why is it so big? Are the RG Wing and Tallgeese also this big?

Well, on top of this review, I bought it to satisfy my inner child. Let's see if there are any more HGAC kits to come down the line
Epyonic
Draconic

What a beauty (I've ruined) isn't it?
I have this coming soon and am excited for it. On the point of light piping, I put the MG endless waltz version of it together not too long ago, I was surprised at a single clear eye/camera piece that they wanted me to put stickers on it. Not sure why they used clear rather than neon green and it would have nice "glowey" eyes. I'm not sure if i can tint the piece to be green something ill be looking into. But why not green to start with?
Because Bandai didn't have much of a concept of tinted clear plastic in the early 2010s, but I imagine tinting the clear piece green should serve you well. The RG also wants you to put stickers over the eyes, but with the being green, and especially having a separate piece for the border, why bother? Unless you want the shine instead of the natural glow, might as well pass them up
@mj2005gundam Interesting, well at least they left the option there. LOL Bandai sure love there stickers.
You can also paint the clear parts with clear green paint to make it look like it has a green tint. Mix in some clear yellow and clear green to give it the lime green look and then there you have it! Happy building!😊
thanks

Damn man you butchered the build. Take your time make it look nice i know you want to get a video out but them cuts are bad for such a legendary Gundam
I know I butchered the build, and I've disclaimed why that's the case in the pinned comment. Even if I took my time, the hardware I have on hand wasn't good enough.
Don’t mind the height like they did with hi v gundam. The proportions are beautiful and if this was any shorter, don’t think it’ll look proportionate or beautiful looking imo.
Well, I pointed it out as more a matter of fact than me taking issue with it, as I know someone is bound to whine about how it's not actually 1/144 scale
They made wing a hand grenade and they made epyon a hand safety now i know who is bandai favorite mobile suit 😅
Depends on which RG Wing you are talking about. The RG EW designs are unwieldy, while the RG TV Wing is up to modern RG standards.
Wing a hand grenade?
@@zitimotleyxxjmxxthey refer to the earlier ones, Wing Zero EW and Wing EW
Wing TV is good
Galvatron (darken): Ah. My favorite gundam upgrade.
Timothy & astro: Shut up, darken!!!
Dragon equals evil edgy
The RG Gundam Epyon is considered to be more difficult to build than the RG RX93-2 Hi Nu Gundam?
Well, kinda yeah. The RG Hi-Nu has size working for it for one, and it doesn't have so much trim detail. Plus, the white and blue is friendlier to work with compared to red and burgundy
We got retail almost all important wing kits
I swear if hg tall geese is pbandai ima chuck my mg wing zero ew ver ka down the toilet
They probably won't pay that much attention as there is the RG already
Due to the darker color scheme i would wait a while until waterslide decals come out.
Yeah, the sticker decals do really show don't they?
I have question ?
RG Epyon is Design TV Series or EW Series ?
A slight hybrid of both, mostly TV, but the wing shape and the opening mouths of the dragons are taken from the EW version
I don't understand why my epyon can't stand on it's own maybe it's the winga that are too heavy on the back but it just can't stay standing even in the most basic pose
It's just a balancing act to be honest. I know I struggled with getting it to stand.
yeah it was really hard to pose it for me after a while i found out that the problem were the wings pushing too mutch and making it fall farward, so by rotating them now it seems easier to pose and stand, i think it'll need a stand anyway for it to look good tho, thanks for the tips @@mj2005gundam
Bo2 mo mag build puro nub marks
I don't understand what you're saying besides nub marks
the size is not annoying to me... it should have always been taller than all the wing kits
I fondly remember a Gunpla reviewer saying "If it isn't at 1/144 scale, don't say that it's 1/144 scale on the box" regarding the RG Hi-Nu. I'd imagine there'd be at least some who find it annoying, even if the Epyon is minutely larger than the other Gundams from wing
I wish i preordered this!
Ehe~
