I Love Advance of Zeta, especially all of its references to “Watership Down.” Many of the mechs are named after characters and phrases from the book such as the Hazel (main character’s name), Owsla (a term for a group of rabbits that act like the warren's police officers), the suffix Rah (in Lapine means leader or prince), Fiver (the second main character), Hrairoo (Fiver’s Lapine name meaning “little Thousand”), Bigwig (another main character), Woundwart (the main villain), Dandelion (character name), Haze'n-thley (named after Hyzenthlay, Hazel’s mate), Inle (named after the Black Rabbit of Inlé, which is basically the rabbits’ grim reaper), Kehaar (named after a seagull) Primrose (a character from the TV show and not the book), and my absolute favorite, Hrududu (the Lapine term for anything with an engine).
@@AaronTheUnwise It is a possibility. 0083 needs updated love since GP 02 Physalis is another one of my future builds. Hopefully Bandai comes through but I'm expecting plenty of Witch from Mercury kits and with MGEX Strike Freedom, plenty of SEED kits.
I mean it really depends on the size of the actual gundam. A 23m hg would be about the same size as a 18m mg. Remember the grade is just a scale. Hence why the nu is so damn huge and crossbones is so small.
14:33 The more pieces of Gaikotsu I see the less sure I am of how he looks and I'm starting to worry that he doesn't have a true form. he's an ever shifting mass of gunpla that needs a constant supply of kits to survive
It's possible with the Hrairoo to dock the rifle into that opening shoulder port, so I'd expect it to be possible here too. That would also explain the extreme angle on that wrist.
This one definitely doesn’t skip arm day, its buff af on a side note, what about the SNAA Hunt and Kill? I really wanna see the review and how good it is
It should be added that the standalone release for the Primrose did come with black and orange stickers for the shoulders, odd how they didn’t add them here
As for the uniquely shaped hand, it was originally designed for the original standard Hazel with the Beam Saber on the backpack, to help pose the MS grabbing the beam saber from the backpack
As someone who has built half a dozen AoZ kits, three of which are TR-1 based, I can attest that the Hazel is a very nice older kit that needs some extra attention to get the most out of - there are a lot of tiny details that are not color-accurate (particularly all the little yellow tube elements) and there are some pretty bad seam lines that aren't on panel borders, but it looks very nice and all the different display options are fun. I occasionally mess with them to see if I can put together any interesting new combinations - more or less like what the Titans Test Team does. In that sense, the piles of extra parts are not only expected, but welcome, especially getting them in multiple colors. I would expect that you'd be able to at least assemble the Hazel Custom, Advanced Hazel, and the Primrose itself out of the parts, from what I've seen of the runners. It seems to lack the dark blue runners from the Hrududu, which is a shame as you need those to assemble its wings, and the Hrududu II once again lacks the Enhanced Winch Anchors (the really big version of the "railguns"). My Psycho Gundam is still awaiting its custom color scheme to be able to join the Titans Test Team, but first I'm gonna finish the Kehaar II. Funny story, between what's on its runners and the stuff left over from my Haze'n-thley II Rah, I am going to be able to build a pile of secondary parts to turn it into a Woundwort with a custom color scheme if I want. Those leftover bits are both a blessing and a curse...
In my school vr game the hazel owsla gigantic arms unit is a boss where you play as goalius and remember that arcade game donkey Kong well that the whole boss fight against it
So, we have two Mobile Suits dubbed "Hazel" and "Woundwort". Hmmm..... Would the creator of these designs perchance be a fan of a certain book written by a British Doctor concerning Rabbits? Ah-ha! Hrududu. That clinches it; the designer was a fan. :)
@@JakeSweeper in Advance of Zeta: the Flag of Titans, the Bigwig is a massive cannon strapped to a Byzack. you can have a really little single-color 1/400 model kit of it if you pick up the "Advance of Zeta Revival Set", which also includes a 1/400 Kehaar and two 1/200 Hazels
I love the TR-1 and I have several (because…zeta designs of course), and I always hate trying to fill in all those huge vents on the front and back of the legs, especially just using the Gundam markers. 😑
Very cool, but good God I just want the Woundwart to be released from P-Bandai hell. I can't believe they sold for like 20$US as the time of release. They're over $110 in Canada - even from retailers (not that they'll ever have stock anyways).
The Titans are the biggest geniuses but are a little too ambitious. They kept making wacky and ulttra powerful machines but didn't settle on an excellent, all rounder mass-produced machine until it was too late. Their funding, fame, respect and good will had dried up. But Thanks to that we had cool kits like this
@@bureidokaiza2829 yea it pisses me off because I seem to only get the emails like the morning they come out! The only reason I grabbed one is because Twitter was going nuts over it’s release so I was feverishly checking up on it and any details on its release date! I actually think they brought it back for a second round of pre orders but they sold out super fast again of coarse.
@@oliver5461 lol I pulled mine out of the closet as well! I was waiting to paint it but I think I’m just going to snap it up for the fun of it. Plus I want to see all the extra stuff and see what else I can build from it
The way Mecha promote Buyee versus Hobby Link Japan is subtly different. He's more excited to say Buyee and slightly quieter every time he promotes HLJ. I haven't used either because the shipping is quite expensive for both to ship to the U.S.
This unit is by far- has the most number of leftover parts a Gunpla could get... Furthermore, there's no guarantee that those leftovers can be built as the Premium Bandai Exclusive Advance of ZETA units in its complete state... Nevertheless: Nice Review... I do smell ZEON and Premium Bandai cooking up something under their Sleeves - a ZEON/Zaku Variant of that Hazel OWSLA+ Psycho Gundam Arms; only this time- it's REAL GRADE made out of the combined parts of CHAR'S Zaku II and the ZEONG😳😳😳😳😳 QUE Horror if it's RG Sinanju and whatever remains of HGUC Neo ZEONG 😱
You could probably leave the back part of the rifle off to tuck it under the arm. Not sure how noticeable it would be that its missing though. Ive done this with my mobile suit ensemble version of the ms and it works perfectly for that, cant see the back of the rifle at all anyways if it would be tucked under the armpit due to the chibi proportions of the ensemble line. But with the hg you have a little bit more space under the armpit so maybe it would be too obvious.
Would have been nice if you had included a section that looked into which spare parts can be used to make other accessories and which can't be used at all. Also, it's Owsla, not Owlsa
I don't agree with the ranking. Saying that is gold tier just because of a new backpack with arms while the mobile suit itself can't move well for shit is not ok. Letting that aside, great review. That intro was gold, haha.
They can. My psycho is in storage so I couldn’t do it for the review: Here’s what it looks like: preview.redd.it/0zmari99ha191.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=747eb09ade94fd4333e6417b1dbe8eb9aa577443
So while I LOVE that after all this time we finally got an official kit of the Hazel OWSLA GAU, I have 2 irritations. 1) they went through all of the effort of re-doing the hips and waist for the Hazenthley (if that's the not the right name please don't - I'm too tired right now to get up and look at my boxes for the right spelling) version of the kit but couldn't include those parts in here? and 2) with all of the leftover parts you can't really build anything out of them... maybe the Hazel's shields? but there's like half of a hrududu (if even that much), parts to build the rest of the Advanced hazel stuff (like the head sensor unit). Such a waste of plastic and our money. FYI it has been possible to make this kit previously just nowhere near color accurate, and you had to sacrifice parts from several kits. At least two of the Hazels, the Hrududu II stolen from the TR-5, and worst of all the arms from the Psycho gundam; then you'd have to hunt down 2? of the previous Primrose kits and a Hrududu kit. Worst thing then was that the Psycho arm posts were too small for the Hrududu connection, so you'd still have to modify them slightly. How do I know all this? I was one of those mad lads that got all the parts together but never got around to finishing it up. Which I'm glad of now as I can give all the parts back to the donor kits and not have to try to hunt down a second Psycho or Gaplant.
TBH I would suggest if you cycle between a 2 video week, 2 1 videos weeks and a break week. If that means you can give model reviews their proper due with the usual great production quality, more consistent writing, and more in-depth looks, and get things done beside stuff for the channel, like errands, self-care and mental health, that would be great.
Can you please do a different raiting system or just add it to the already existing raiting system for pbandai. Like is it worth being pbandai worth it

It is for that and you can actually see it in hrududu forms.
I appreciated the genuine reaction.

If there's ever to be a Perfect Grade kit from this series, it has to be this one.
Now we just need bandai to make the complete Dantalion. It also felt like you channeled Jobby for a second in your intro.

Sad that this is probably the closest we'll get to a Pyscho Gundam Revive. Ever probably. And it's just the arms. Still awesome.
Always love to see AoZ kit because it's expensive and hard to find
This is one of those models that only are two sides love it or hate it personaly I am in the love it side XD
Excuse me! You know Shin Megami Tensei!!! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who is a fan of both Gundam and smt.

Oh my now I need a 2.0 hg psycho gundam
Mecha's now on his phase where he becomes Jobby

You should try to combine as many Advance of Zeta kits as possible and make one monstrous mobile armor.

Wreck it Ralph Gundam
You and jobby should collab. Also it’s nearly spooky season! What memery are you going to give us this time? Just curious.
At this point the next one is just gonna be just arms!!!
I think I'll stick with the Dantalion for my gorilla-arm Gundam kit.
