In the anime the lupus and lupus rex was awsome. As far as the hg goes i dont mind paint the missing colors and looking at it makes me think of a warewolf. Personally i like it
Atra: are you I love with a certain someone?Mika: yeah.Atra: is is it Kudelia?Mika: noAtra: me?Mika: no.Atra: Barbatos?Mika: no.Who is it?Mika: Mace-chan.
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯 I absolutely love the perportions of it but i would like to see a function to turn it into a quadraped... after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER! with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat. so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯 That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯 it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully... The Devil of Tekkedan...😎💪🤘🤘🤘💯😈
All of the versions are nice indeed. I love Lupus Rex the most as it's perfect for its story, and only a natural evolution. Bet the original creator(s) of this Gundam frame would have been surprised at the beast it eventually became hundred of years later. The hand claws and huge arms say it all. Beast Gundam-nothing like the more elegant Gundams across the many universes. It should be judged in its context. I feel it's a great design, and its head still has a "classic" aura of sorts, so it still resembles the idea of a "traditional" Gundam while not being conventional at all. This set is awesome, the reviewer just subjectively dislikes it. As he himself said, if you are going to paint it, no problems at all-which is why I did, to replace all but the eye stickers. OOB it requires some work to look "perfect" (IMHO), but if one is not picky, it still looks great with its massive, intentionally exaggerated proportions.
thank you thank you for bringing back the normal review time length. thank you for providing content with effort for your subscribers. the old mecha gaikotsu is back
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
I have mixed feelings about the Rex, I like the idea of the huge arms, considering Mika's fighting style, and I think in an action pose the Rex can look good. Just standing though... yeah it's off.
I know the color correcting stickers are pretty bad, but that never stopped me from loving this Gundam design, when I first got this kit & finished building it, I immediately fell in love with this Gundam.
This is my first kit, I play Warhammer so the snap on parts definitely made things easier. I really like this model though. It wasn't hard to put together and in all honesty the arms and legs are a little wonky but it's ok haha I'm happy with it all around though. For a noobie I'd give it a 8/10 Some of the pieces are unbelievably tiny and like he said about the stickers being big haha
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists. Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.
i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
Very cool review! I'm going to unbox this exact model in my channel so I was looking for pointers on how to title the video and such things. It looks beautiful finished, I can't wait to complete it. PD: the most important aspect I learned from you was the camera angle >_< I had no idea a facefront assembly would be so tough to watch with such minuscule parts.
I've did a painted build for the sake of my review (which I hope you can check out, BTW) because I can't stand the straight build as it lacks too much coloring. I colored even the symbol on the tail.
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
Thank you for this review. I had the same thought, that it is better when it has the arms and legs of the lupus. plus, i wouldn't be surprised if some skip on buying this, and save their money for the gundam bael.
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
I built this kit yesterday, and i found that there are parts to built mini MS with similar frame to Barbatos Which kits should i buy to finish the little one.
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
hmmmm ... I have a feeling the body, torso and head were meant to be a customization base, the rest ...... eh For example, i've been imagining a Barbatos Lupus Rex with Rex's Head, Waist, torso and legs, Lupus' arms, Rex's shoulders, Rex's arms are mounted on the Rex's backpack somewhat like Gusion Rebake. I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
Man it's a real pain watching that wire getting "abused"
Quang NX ikr I kept cringing
I was waiting to see if it was tear. ^_^
In the anime the lupus and lupus rex was awsome. As far as the hg goes i dont mind paint the missing colors and looking at it makes me think of a warewolf. Personally i like it
rasheed gregory well lupus rex does mean mean wolf king
Honestly,I still love lupus rex
barbatos lupus rex the demon bearded wolf king
"The balls are much larger than before"
I need to mature myself
to be fair, they incorporated the sub-arms and rifles directly into the forearms, so the huge size is justified.
Ahmad Asnawi or maybe the barbatos just needed a bigger fap hand
justified functionally, but aesthetically, the arms look too wonky and goofy on that torso.
@@minionedifier7776 of course it is my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
@@minionedifier7776 ur opinion, I don't like it.
Someone pointed out that the design of this gundam is based on a werewolf
With a name like "Rex", you'd think the ridiculously gigantic arms were meant to one-up a certain famous dinosaur....
YayaFingerButters actually Rex also means king that's why Barbatos lupus Rex is referred to a wolf king
YayaFingerButters ...Wrong
It was a joke, he wasn't trying to be accurate to the series.
Jetfire48 i love the design of barbatos lupus rex it is unique
Rex: Latin for king :)
The more and more I see the proportions they are growing on me....it looks very wolfish the more I see it
Crow Dash exactly.. thats why its called lupus rex.. wolf king
No that would be artorias with his Farron Fanboys

Lol
The Red Comet i was expecting orga for some reason
I'm glad they got rid of that long side skirts!
i dont care i will still buy it!
same just paint all yellow with gold, and adjust the waist piston size with runner. problem solve!!!
cool idea!
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
Ye me too cis i love this kit
Same this mobile suit is pure gold
The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯
I absolutely love the perportions of it but i would like to see a function to turn it into a quadraped...
after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER!
with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat.
so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯
That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯
it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully...

Raise your hand if you like barbatos lupus than the lupus rex
At first, I read "Raise your flag"...
What a shame, I was so proud of you for 3 seconds, man...
I raise my flag
if its as a gunpla then "yes" but anime wise, im more of a lupus rex fan
@@definitelynothiiragi9108anime lupus rex was badass

3:00 do people keep forgetting the fact that bandai made IBO kits to be much cheaper in cost than most hgs before
This didn’t age well
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
I just watched the last fight and the arms are about that size
Since this is the last form of the Barbatos, Barbatos Lupus is the best form of the Barbatos.
Spee9dy Agreed
Spee9dy nope
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
+tansend arga you're not weird at all. It's not about what other people like , it's about what you like.
Agree. The rex is just ugly imho.
I have mixed feelings about the Rex, I like the idea of the huge arms, considering Mika's fighting style, and I think in an action pose the Rex can look good. Just standing though... yeah it's off.

For a noobie I'd give it a 8/10
Some of the pieces are unbelievably tiny and like he said about the stickers being big haha
Plus I'm a fan of the anime so yeah may be a bit of bias here
This might be an old comment but I think it being simple and easy to build is also good if you want to paint it at some point.
I like how they're slowly turning the Barbatos into a dinosaur.
Dio Brando Eh not entirely the entire point of the rex being added on is just to give him the title wolf king
For Me It looks like Humanoid Scorpion
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists.
Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.
Man j personally love this design I think the beast aesthetic suits the model really well. Posed accordingly this thing looks like a BEAST
So far my only IBO kit I've built. I actually enjoyed putting it together and didn't mind the stickers.
"Mecha Gorilla". that is exactly the first impression i could ever get from rex.
Personally, I LOVE this version of the Barbatos. Going buy this one.
i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
Lawrence Michael Cruzo The old shoulders got completely fucked in the show xd
Rex or Lupus?
lupus, one was chop by hasmal tail blade and the other shoulder was severely damage when holding the giant buster sword,.
Too much blue for me.
I swapped the blue shoulder with the red lupus one, honestly looks more fitting bcs its bigger. Also the overall red makes it look more "evilish"
Whoever engineered the head on this kit, deserves the sloppiest of toppie, it was soooo intricate but easy to assemble.
Very cool review! I'm going to unbox this exact model in my channel so I was looking for pointers on how to title the video and such things. It looks beautiful finished, I can't wait to complete it.
PD: the most important aspect I learned from you was the camera angle >_< I had no idea a facefront assembly would be so tough to watch with such minuscule parts.
hence why I plan on combining my Lupus Rex with the Barbataurus for my custom build.
I've did a painted build for the sake of my review (which I hope you can check out, BTW) because I can't stand the straight build as it lacks too much coloring. I colored even the symbol on the tail.
I love that you can be critical but not negative great reviews keep it up
Thanks for the kit bash suggestion, it'll really appeal the people who are on the fence about this and already have the normal Lupus.
yes I've been waiting for this video all day
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
+Daniel Weaver I love the proportions of the rex, I just don't feel this kit does it justice
Like what?
Just finished this kit. The length of the arms and size of the feet work better in action poses than as a standing up straight pose.
I love the concept of this kit the beastial elements of the claws and tail, hopefully the 1/100 has better proportions.
I like this Barbatos!
Also it looks like a beast with a tail
I fell in love with this kit and tryin to save up for it as my first Gundam kit, it's also kinda remind me of guts from berserk
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
are you going to review julia reginlaze ? i'm just asking
Thank you for this review. I had the same thought, that it is better when it has the arms and legs of the lupus. plus, i wouldn't be surprised if some skip on buying this, and save their money for the gundam bael.
Keep em out for Barbatos....You sir, have a new subscriber.
Great reviews too!
Just ordered mine for $22! It will be my first gundam so I can’t wait
Mine too :D
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
This is pretty much my most favorite gundam
omigosh this video was in my feed just after my binge of IBO season 1!
This must be destiny!!!
seed destiny?
sorry i had to
I want a 1/60 version of this.
How do you keep your model kits together so well? Is it glue or something else?
Even though I’ve heard the many issues that this mobile suit has. I’m still going to get it.
For parts that is
and few years later, a ver.ka of this will be released.
lupus is still the badass barbie
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!
I love it. And how do you get the ball joint for the body to stay in?
I have a question. If the other weapons of barbatos example is the mace are 1/144 they can fit with your 1/100 barbatos?
Thank you!
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
Where did you get that clip you use to demo the arm at around 1:33?
I personally love the look of Barbatos lupus rex
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
What other paint should I use to color the fingers except for Tamiya paints. Can I use poster paints?
I love this form, it feels more beastly. I just wished the claws themselves were larger.
My father got this for me and im very excited to build it
"The balls are much larger than what we have seen before"-Mecha Gaikotsu
6:00
Me during No Nut November
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
can I use the hands from the lupus rex on the normal barbatos from the IBO series?
I built this kit yesterday, and i found that there are parts to built mini MS with similar frame to Barbatos
Which kits should i buy to finish the little one.
gonna buy the 1/100 for this...definitely
Barbatos is designed like a demon. Think of it as a mechanical demon and it's gorgeous.
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
for the wire...just get a thin clear peice of heat shrink tubing, and it will add a ton of rigidity to keep the wire from getting messed up
I took the legs and torso from barbatos lupus and put them with lupus rex and it looks AMAZING!!!
I'm on the fence which one i should get, the original lupus, or the lupus rex. Can you help me to choose which one is the best?
Thinking about getting this
Is it good a first gunpla?
This appearance like Ultrazord!!
U do know there's two holes on the booster sides right it can be used as a weapon holder
Mecha!!! when are you going to do your best MG of 2016? i've been waiting for two months now
I might get this suit.
Combine the "lupus" and rex parts.
Might just put the claw hands.
Is there gonna be only 50 eps for IBO? I gotta see the babies Mika has with Atra and Kudelia
Wow! A review on Roll Out day!!
how's the proportion compares to the 1/100 mechanic version of the Rex?
This last form of Barbatos just need a right pose. Then it will absolutely look cool 😎
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
How much inch 7or8
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
My first ginpla ever tho. Still love it.
I think I'll kitbash this with the Lupus. Mainly the crown, chest, and mace.
I do want to try those arms on the Gusion Rebake Full City though.
what do you call on that spinning tool?and how much is it?
I guess you finally realized that the HGIBO kits were designed with customization in mind.
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
Are there extra pieces for this? I built this kit today but I have pieces left over. Did I mess up?
Yes
Is it just mine or the joints on the arms from the torso are hell so loose?
I have a question are the 1/44 scale the smallest form the other one ones
1/144 is the smallest when it comes to the standards gundam scaling
It looks really thrones with those huge arms
i'm interested in barbatos long distance booster and barbatos rex so wich one should i buy?
Damn, this is already out? It felt like this would be out a bit later.
For anyone who bought this kit. Did yours come with the tail blade wire
How about glow in the dark panel lining for more detail, pretty similar to perfect grade
I got this kit and it has an extra mini frame don't know if its is for an extra set or what i need to know
It weird how I got a advertisement for lupus (the sickness)
hmmmm ...
I have a feeling the body, torso and head were meant to be a customization base, the rest ...... eh
For example, i've been imagining a Barbatos Lupus Rex with Rex's Head, Waist, torso and legs, Lupus' arms, Rex's shoulders, Rex's arms are mounted on the Rex's backpack somewhat like Gusion Rebake. I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
