    Justice for the D! The Astrays are all really great kits, and the D, honestly, is the only one that can actually hold its main weapons without drooping. Those TacArms pn the Second Revise and Kai are cool, but all of them need secondary stands and that severely limits the posting. When you trick out the D with its two giant combined "Sipel" swords, it's hugely impressive, but all of the swords can combine in a playable variety of ways, and that's rare for an MG.
    Plus, its flight pack is probably the best version of the AIle striker.
    I wonder if your opinion on the D might shift like it did with the Jesta, because really, even if it's the least of the Astrays (and honestly it's my favourite of them!) it's still an Astray, which is a unique and delightful Gundam design.
    ....otherwise great list. Heck, even with that difference of opinion, great list. And I suppose being in the bottom five, at least it's being discussed!

    Though there are some kits that needed the revised/overhaul treatment than new IBO series MGs, I would not complain if Bandai decided to pump more.

    the funny thing about the MG Barbatos situation is that it is an easily milked kit due to the IBO Gundams mostly sharing the same inner-frame thus might be cheaper to produce by just slapping new armor on them and Bandai still took a long time to crank (pun intended) out a new one.

    I can agree with a few of these (mainly the ones I've built), and I can say the Barbatos is one of my favorite kits (and it was one of my first kits, ever); but I'd probably put the Double X on my list. I can agree with the Jesta tho; I LOVE that kit - and yeah, they come in threes, and in black, almost something like a Tri-Star, maybe? LOL. I have a FAZZ in my queue, and I have the GM Dominance (which I hope is as good as it looks). Gotta give love to the grunt suits!

    If anything, the MG Barbatos is actually more Poster art accurate, rather than anime accurate, or even LINEART accurate on the wiki.
    or the promotional images accurate

    • @ernestorio3550
      @ernestorio3550 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I never view MG as Anime Accurate since Bandai purposely add new details into them that obviously wasn't there in the original design used in the Anime. Which is why imo HG (depending if it's a kit from UC or AU) is more Anime Accurate since the are well just what you expect in terms of looks, but the proportions does vary with every release since i see that newer HG revives had those Modern feel that doesn't belong to the original old school design

    @housequay 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    For MGs I have built the Wing Gundam Fenice Rinascita, and the 00 Qan[t]. Love them both, still pretty solid, and equally solid with one not particularly better than the other for quality. I've pre-ordered the Eclipse MG tho so I'm looking forward to that next. Had Dynames, Kyrios, Barbatos and many other on my list for a long time but can grab them at a reasonable price so I'm just focusing on what's coming out in the future instead.

    I just picked up the Barbatos recently and the Gundam Base Limited clear one at that. Can't wait to build it. Nice to see the Freedom 2.0 as well, I have the clear one too. Will get the ZZ; actually couldn't decide between that and the FAZZ before. Also will to to start looking at the AGE - always ignored that line.
    Thanks for this list but now I don't want to build my Delta Plus and Victory Gundam kits, lol.

    I don’t have a ton of MGs but the ones I do have is the mg barbatos, wing zero ew ver ka, epyon, and the heavyarms so they’re probably my favorite MGs since I have them, all of them are either pretty rad at minimum, to S tier great, I adore the ones I have

  • @Drewlinska
    @Drewlinska 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Man, my first kit was the EZ8. Just goes to show you that even the lesser kits can still get someone into the hobby. Side note I later went and watched the shows and yeah, the kit lacks a ton of articulation.

  • @artificemdeomnibus9059
    @artificemdeomnibus9059 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My Astray Blue Frame D hasn't had problems with things falling off, and yes it IS a straight build. The only issue I've had is that when the "swords" are fully combined, the blades don't stay in orientation quite perfectly (i.e. they sag a little) due to the small size of the joint used. But aside from that, no issues, especially not like Mecha mentioned. Oh, I do keep it on a stand, though. It's a SEED kit with all the balance issues inherent in those packs!

    @IlanMuskat 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I realize I've only been building for a couple of years, certainly not full-time, mostly casually (snap, panel line, some paint touch-up) and wouldn't want to really do a bottom five, but of the builds I've done, here's what stands out as looking charming, feeling robust and having been fun to assemble:
    1. Jesta - hefty, phenomenal hands, cool look, no unnecessary anything
    2. Force Impulse - a real sweet spot between over-modern detail and classic pre-2010 zaniness. Also incredibly dynamic proportions -- I prefer the look over the RG.
    3. Buster - the top of the Seed original five "HD Remix" pack, with the coolest weapon gimmick of any model, and also an all-business, utilitarian armoured look.
    4. Astray Blue Frame D - the Astray's build is a truly unique experience, with lots of fully-working mechanism, exposed frame and layered armour. The D is the most fun of the bunch, with combining weapons that actually work together well (better than the weird latches on the Qan[T]) and a general sense of spiky excess that characterizes the more out theere SEED and Astray vibe.
    5. Nemo - the true spirit of the '80s. Navy and turquoise, but ahead of its time with the inner frame goodness that would soon characterize the 2.0 Zaku and GM kits. A miracle of a grunt suit that also costs *less than the old, oddball G Gundam kits*.

    Freedom 2.0 is what I believe bandai originally envisioned for MG Destiny. Sleek design, lots of curves and sharp edges, and ofc wide range of (aerial) articulations/poses. Well seeing that seed now makes return with Eclipse, Destiny 2.0 maybe?

    I only have 5 MG kits at the moment, so that makes it an easy list. Heck, I have only 7 kits in total (2 RG), though I do have 7 on backorder from HLJ that I check my email for everyday... Freedom 2.0 is definitely my fave so far, followed by Finice Rinascitta, Aegis, Strike Freedom, and Strike ver.Ka. As a SEED fanboy, the reason Fenice is up higher on my list is likely because A. it was the first Gunpla I built, and B. I really like wings on my robots. Even the Transformers I buy tend to be flyers.

    Most of the MG kits before 2007, in general...
    Favorites?
    Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 - First MG I built, and I chose well. Beautiful kit. No touch-ups needed. Perfect out of the box.
    Turn A - Panel line intensive, but very unique build with no polycaps. Looks fantastic. Eye-catching.
    Acguy - a pre-2007 kit but cool af. Spring-loaded claw, effect parts, stand... it showed what MG kits from before 2007 _should have been all along_ but sadly almost never were.
