It's nice to see Bandai collabing with other franchises, hopefully I'll have my dream of having a RG Gunbuster A RG Gurren Lagann could also be really cool
You are a man after my own heart. A Real Grade full transforming Gunbuster would be phenomenal. I'm not holding my breath for it, but then again Bandaid did release new SRW kits, so anything is possible l.
Man, I am so excited for this kit. GGG was my personal favorite Suoer Robot show in my teens. Seeing it in RG form is a fever dream, and Goldymarg down the road too!
Speaking of comically tiny heads, when I was a kid every year for my birthday and Christmas I would get a power rangers megazord, and every time my grandma would say "why are their heads always so small? It looks so weird / it doesn't look right".
Thanks for doing a review of this thing, it looks as amazing as I thought it would be. I've heard about the kit being finicky when combined, and you rather demonstrated where it's finicky in, definitely a kit more for display rather than for play. Still, like you said, considering how this entire thing is a transforming kit made out of many components combining, it's still quite an achievement, and I like how you fully show off the full articulation of the GaoGaiGar. Was actually hoping you'd do a shake test of the GaoGaiGar or something like you do with most Gunpla. Will you be taking a look at the RG Goldymarg too? Would be nice to hear your thoughts on that big boy, especially when you combine it with GaoGaiGar.
A kit being loose, janky and finicky is my kryptonite, and they drive me absolutely around the bend. This however isn't one of them. I can only assume it's finicky if you're not careful with the transformation at the lions mane, the head transformation and the locking mechanism at the front of the legs. And the Goldymarg is in the mail right now!!!
I saw images last month and was shock with so much joy! I love GaoGaiGar as much as Getter Robo. it is the mecha series that introduce me to the Brave series and what made me want to watch the older mecha series.
I have to say between the SMP line, which this kit definitely took pointers from, RG Goagaigar, and the MG Zeta Bandai is definitely getting their transformations down very well. I can't wait to see where they go with this next.
I want it too. But they have to fix a lot of design flaws they had with the normal GGG. I have the figure, but I havent finished it yet completly. One of its fists self-destructed, and the frill threads don‘t stay together at all. I will melt them together with the plastic cement. And the Helmet and Face mask fall off way too easily😅. can‘t recommend it for the price point.
Every GaoGaiGar kit or figure I've seen that has the combination has GaiGar with either a small head or two heads to swap between, one small transformation head and one larger anime accurate head. And yeah without being a pre-built toy, the transformation/combination on this looks to be surprisingly good! I also loved that you did the anime combination sequence XD
Really looking forward to getting this figure. Often times with Gaogaigar figures the Final Fusion can make the whole figure a bit finicky due to how everything has to fit together, just look at the original action figure or the Soul of Chogokin figure they made a few years back. Then you have the hands where often there's quite a bit of engineering gone into the hands and arms alone in order for the figure to do "Hell & Heaven" even when the figure has the extra hand parts for the finishing move the arms still need to come together which impacts both the chest and shoulders
1:55 I would argue that the cheap gold is even better. It feels more appropriate. Like the actual mechanics were aiming for gold, but they can't be assed to make something that looks good and can take a hit.
@@StrikeNoir105E Having real gold might be weirder. I dunno, maybe the fake gold looks like some metal that was high class decoration in their culture. Maybe the aliens just have really gaudy taste?
For those interested, GaiGar is officially listed as being 23.5 m at the top of it's head, the Nu Gundam at it's head is 23 m even, the RX-78-2 is officially listed at 18 m, and GaoGaiGar is officially listed at 31.5 m tall. Meaning if this was to scale, you'd be looking at an 8.5 inch or 21.87 cm tall figure.
This may not scaled to most gunplas but this does (kinda) scaled to the other Brave robots from the SMP/Super Minipla line. GGG does have several kits in that line but they're not scaled to Brave robots that came after. So this RG could be Bandai's way to make a GGG that is scaled to the other Brave robots.
I didn't watch the anime but will still get this because it looks ok. Also it might encourage Bandai to release an RG Mazinger and RG Daltanias, hopefully one day 😌
HELL YES! It's GaoGaiGar time! I've added this one to my wishlist. As soon I get some spare money I'll be getting this kit. I love ths super to bits and I can only hope we get a Genesic GGG with the Goldion Crusher.
knowing the nature of a combiner+transforming mecha which is bound to be fragile with so many moving parts, plus the fact that this is also a modelkit made from many miniscule parts a la Real Grade, this is Bandai's i think most ambitious modelkit ever made. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
I didn’t expect it to have that good of articulation when all the armor is on. I sort of want to get this now even tho I’m not a huge fan of the super robot design.
This honestly gives me tiny hope that we see another GaoGaiGar anime. So glad I preordered this kit as well as goldymarg. Edit: be careful with the hands. I broke the joints that connect the ball joint peg to the hand piece on both hands and had to fix it with a metal nail. They stay together but they're really wobbley
That looks awesome, I ordered on Amazon for black Friday, I ordered him because of the fact that it's a model kit and I'm interested in figures that transforms
@@argacc20417 Hasbro can't bully Bandai not without a case as Bandai is, when I posted this currently at writing, about the same if not is bigger than Hasbro.
Guess they should've done it as a MG first, so they could get a feel for the combined form properly. That way, the smaller RG may not have had the issues it has.🤔🤔🤔 Those moving vents on Stealthgao remind me of the ones on MP24 Starsaber, specifically lil' Saber's jet mode. That's a very nice touch on something so tiny, though!!
Kinda funny how he mentions Transformers when talking about Liner Gao, as Railspike from Car Robots/Robots In Disguise is the exact same type of Shinkansen.
Bandai recently put up a Gurren Lagann (and Enkidu) SMP through Pbandai, so unfortunately I don't think an RG Gurren Lagann isn't in the cards anytime soon. the SMP Gurren Lagann set looks great tho, i pre-ordered it myself
I’ve been trying to figure out- what are the little stands he uses to pose the hand effect? Those aren’t from a Bandai action base I don’t think. He uses them in a bunch of his videos.
@@lynncai891 Yeah, however action bases 4 and 5 and their variants come with little arms like such, and a few kits as well. For example, I have one small stand like this from Real Grade Qan/T which was used for holding his GN Sword V.
Whats up man, i know this isalate comment but im finally getting around to this one, due in no small part to your video, planning to also get the Goldy next week. Took your advice and painted the gold, just gotta wait for it to dry and ill start the build tomorrow.
Nice, now I gotta get me Gaogaigar too! Would you guys say he's a good starting point for someone who's new to RG? Also I hope they make Genesic Gaogaigar... Just dont make him P-Bandai...
Any idea what gauge the wire used for attaching the helmet to StealthGao is? I'm looking to find a replacement should I need it, far as I know it's the same as psychommu.
Can I ask for your opinion? For a few pieces that are loose (such as the mask part) should I just super glue those small pieces so they stop popping off all the time?

It's nice to see Bandai collabing with other franchises, hopefully I'll have my dream of having a RG Gunbuster
A RG Gurren Lagann could also be really cool
actually... Gaogaigar belongs to Sunrise. and as we all know. Sunrise owns Gundam. so basically it's the same company.
You are a man after my own heart. A Real Grade full transforming Gunbuster would be phenomenal. I'm not holding my breath for it, but then again Bandaid did release new SRW kits, so anything is possible l.
I'd prefer an MG Gurren Lagann, if you tried doing the combining gimmick then a 1/144 Lagann would be too small to really work with and pose
Still waiting for RG Big-O
I will kill for the rg gurren lagann
Man, I am so excited for this kit. GGG was my personal favorite Suoer Robot show in my teens. Seeing it in RG form is a fever dream, and Goldymarg down the road too!

Gotta agree with your grandma, the tiny heads on most mechas bug me sometimes
It’s a perspective trick, used in illustration. It’s called Heroic Proportion, and makes the character look larger than it is.
@@Astronopolis it still looks kinda silly sometimes lol
What r u talking abg if the head is big it will look so weirx
ok
Here's hoping they do an RG Genesic GaoGaiGar.
Expansion packs for star gaogaigar and genesic xD
I want RG GaoFighGar.
If they do the Genesic Machines, they'll have to include parts for the GOLDION ARMOR!
Bandai has done genesic gaogaigar and even goldion finger in their SMP line. It’s a glorious kit
@@enthus1ast and really expensive out of japan
There's also RG Goldymarg to form the GOLDION HAMMER ❤️
I miss Brave series so much!
imagine being old,
jk
Gaogaigar is always a fan favorite, especially in gundam form.
Since they want to go this route I hope Bandai well make RG VOLTES V and GURREN LAGGAN.
I also hope for an rg 1/12 scale scopedog
RG Decker and I guess Transformers. RG Optimus prime would be real nice.
I'd vote for a Great Zeorymer or Dangaioh.
Since eagle moss filed for bankruptcy space ships doesn't seems to be bad to do. RG Space battleship yamato and Enterprise.
RG Combattler V
The MG Turn A came with an MG cow. Now we have an RG train. Excellent.

The King of Brave in RG. The love for the series is being shown in this kit. Love it! Thanks for making this review!

@@danieleconvertini4996i lost the face mask so i had to shave off gaigar’s handsome face…it still looks good lol
Thank you for the review. I was sceptical at first about this kit but now.... i'm getting 1.
Bandai has no excuse now, I want a RG Gundam Tryon 3
And from there they can do the RG ZZ cause that was the base gundam for it

And yeah without being a pre-built toy, the transformation/combination on this looks to be surprisingly good!
I also loved that you did the anime combination sequence XD
The lion head in the lion form of the art is massive, this kit needs some form of sorcery to match that transformation.
I hope bandai will tackle more combiners in the future because this is basically an amped up version of the minipla. I would want a RG sentai mech
Seeing a full review of this set as opposed to a stop motion video of it really makes me want to buy it for myself.
here's hoping we're gonna see a complete lineup of RG Brave Series (Might Gaine, J-Decker, Brave Exkaiser, Goldran, Dagwon, etc.)
It perfectly captures the fg style while also being such a high quality kit!
Really looking forward to getting this figure.

One of my friends teased that they got this for my birthday next week!
Holy hell. I picked a good time to get back into this hobby. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BRAVE SERIES.
13:00 FINAL!!! FUSION!!!!!
the fact you didn't say FINAL FUSION when doing combo 5 was a bit dissapointing to me. otherwise great review and holy hell i need this
You should see the Minipla Gaogaigar kit. World’s tiniest head! I hope the RG line sees more super robots.
RG Ideon
Man, i love this RG. Hopefully Dancouga is next!!
1:55 I would argue that the cheap gold is even better. It feels more appropriate. Like the actual mechanics were aiming for gold, but they can't be assed to make something that looks good and can take a hit.
Lore-wise though, Galeon is an alien-made machine, so having fake gold would be odd for it.
@@StrikeNoir105E Having real gold might be weirder. I dunno, maybe the fake gold looks like some metal that was high class decoration in their culture. Maybe the aliens just have really gaudy taste?
Fantastic review. You did the king of Braves justice
Man if GaoGaiGar is getting the RG treatment then TTGL needs some love to hell maybe even some Big O kits lol
9:26 OMG those tracks!! RG GunTank when???
Great video! Would love to see a shelf presence test on the Gaogaigar and also size comparisons with MGs and other RGs to show how much it has grown
For those interested, GaiGar is officially listed as being 23.5 m at the top of it's head, the Nu Gundam at it's head is 23 m even, the RX-78-2 is officially listed at 18 m, and GaoGaiGar is officially listed at 31.5 m tall. Meaning if this was to scale, you'd be looking at an 8.5 inch or 21.87 cm tall figure.
This may not scaled to most gunplas but this does (kinda) scaled to the other Brave robots from the SMP/Super Minipla line.

FINAL FUSION, APPROVED!!!
ROGER! FINAL FUSION! PROGRAM….DRIVE!!!!
FINAL!!!! FUSION!!!!
GAO!!! GAI!!! GAR!!!!!!!!
Gundam is good, but the brave series is the best. I can't wait to get my hands on this kit and goldymarg
a train as shoulder pads, so silly, but i love it somehow hahaha
It's amazing to see how far RGs have come
This is almost like the metal build version
Finally! I was looking forward to hearing about this
I didn't watch the anime but will still get this because it looks ok. Also it might encourage Bandai to release an RG Mazinger and RG Daltanias, hopefully one day 😌
HELL YES! It's GaoGaiGar time! I've added this one to my wishlist. As soon I get some spare money I'll be getting this kit. I love ths super to bits and I can only hope we get a Genesic GGG with the Goldion Crusher.

Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Damn now im kinda hooing for real grades of every major mecha put there.
Will definitely be getting this! I have the Super Mini-Pla version, and it's "ok". Great review. I hope to see a Goldymarg review soon.
Can't wait for mine to arrive, it is AMAZING!
I didn’t expect it to have that good of articulation when all the armor is on. I sort of want to get this now even tho I’m not a huge fan of the super robot design.
Bandai now can make a solid rg zeta and zz now since rg gaogaigar is pretty solid.
This honestly gives me tiny hope that we see another GaoGaiGar anime. So glad I preordered this kit as well as goldymarg.
Edit: be careful with the hands. I broke the joints that connect the ball joint peg to the hand piece on both hands and had to fix it with a metal nail. They stay together but they're really wobbley
An OVA based off the betterman collab would be nice. I liked the story line they used in the last SRW game.
I definitely need this kit! I absolutely love combining super robot shows!
Hopefully we get Genesis Gaogaigar and gaofaigar
It’s Genesic GaoGaiGar, and you’re right
GaoFighgar smells like a P-Bandai release
I'd give it a Platinum Tier, only is because of these few little issues with the connections
The drill gaos can be used as arm drills btw, to reference the show.
I can’t wait for the rg genesic gaogigar that will Inevitably be released
Those treads & large fists are looking AWESOME ✨🤖✨‼️
RG 1/1 screwdriver needs to be a separate kit.
Please.
I hope bandai would do an transforming Optimus prime in the future
I hear you talking but its mostly drowned out by the theme song on loop in my head seeing GaoGaiGar
Ga ga ga
Ga ga GaoGaigar!
@@bryangutierrez6679 Ga ga ga, Ga ga ga ga GaoGaiGar!
I watched all the Yuusha series. Even the ones before GaoGaiGar.
...I have just realised that I need this. Love Real Grade kits
Seeing those treads reminds me of the horror of the MG Guntank.
It would be sick to see an RG gurren lagann
We gotta see that Gao gai stegosaurus tier more often, great vid1
I’ve finally got mine today can’t wait to build it at Christmas time
I’ve already built mine and it’s awesome but fragile.
I was just binge watching the gold tier playlist then suddenly this come out
That looks awesome, I ordered on Amazon for black Friday, I ordered him because of the fact that it's a model kit and I'm interested in figures that transforms
This may be the only Kit I may want even more than the RG GOD GUNDAM and RG HINU GUNDAM….
IT LOOKS SO GOOD….
The best brave series of all time. Guy Shishiou is a chad.
Great reminder that everyone should watch GaoGaiGar.
This is more of a DIY transformer/toy than a regular model kit. Very impressive.
Bodies well for if BANDAI decides to do more different kits like Gunpla RG Transformers. Can probably takeover the market
Oh and low key middle finger the media since they keep butchering Gundam as Transformers. The Gunpla will confuse them lol

Amazing! I can’t definitely worth picking up the genesis gaogaigar if this kit is any indication.
Mazinger with Gundam visage.
Hope there will RG Godannar with its drive change mode transformation. We can only dream xD
Any idea what gauge the wire used for attaching the helmet to StealthGao is? I'm looking to find a replacement should I need it, far as I know it's the same as psychommu.
does anybody else have problem with building the drill gao because of pieces not fitting like they are supposed too
Just imagine if bandai made a fully articulated RG megazords, but knowing bandai they'll sell each of the animal zords separately.
have you tried the lbx model kits?
Can I ask for your opinion? For a few pieces that are loose (such as the mask part) should I just super glue those small pieces so they stop popping off all the time?
That's what I did, Glued the lion's chin and the mask to the sides of the helmet, now it's solid.I love this chunky boy.
