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.
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!!!
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!
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
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.
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
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 😌
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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?
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...
Truly a fun build, but the gai gar head should've had a second larger head. Only other gripe is lion chin and train wheels which are very minor annoyances. It was a great and unexpected Xmas gift that I would've probably missed out on if I was doing the shopping. Now I'm curious about the hammer attachment rg kit. Makes me wish now bandai would do another combiner like a go lion rg kit or a rg of gurren lagann. Imagine the engineering required for the drill/cockpit attachment to make it rock 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
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.
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!!
Ga ga ga ga ga gaa... Gao gai gar!! Looks insanely cool but I have to pass this.. it is more expensive than the MG kits.. maybe for hardcore fans of GGG, they don't mind but not me.. haha..
speaking of the design this gundam little bit weird. not like other kit. small head, awkward shoulders train, and other gimmicks seems not make this gundam more interesting.
Super glue technique but this can be risky as not all super glues can work. Just put some on the tip and let it dry then put it on. Dont put too mjch becausw it will get too tight. Also becareful with its wrist, as the wrist gets too tigjt and breaks down on you. Recommend getting different hand part such as mg 1/100 scale zeon zaku hand gundam builder parts or mg 1/100 rx 78 ver 3 hands, rg zeong 1/144 hands
If possible can you do the new Figure-rise Standard Amplified WARGREYMON [SPECIAL COATING] it's available tonight I belive and I'd really love to hear your opinion on it before I buy it, it looks 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.
There's also RG Goldymarg to form the GOLDION HAMMER ❤️
I miss Brave series so much!
imagine being old,
jk
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
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".
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

And the Goldymarg is in the mail right now!!!
@@MechaGaikotsureview when?
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
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!
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
The lion head in the lion form of the art is massive, this kit needs some form of sorcery to match that transformation.
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
here's hoping we're gonna see a complete lineup of RG Brave Series (Might Gaine, J-Decker, Brave Exkaiser, Goldran, Dagwon, etc.)
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
The MG Turn A came with an MG cow. Now we have an RG train. Excellent.
Gaogaigar is always a fan favorite, especially in gundam form.
Thank you for the review. I was sceptical at first about this kit but now.... i'm getting 1.
You should see the Minipla Gaogaigar kit. World’s tiniest head! I hope the RG line sees more super robots.
RG Ideon
I so want a Genesic GGG, it's one of my favourite mechs of all time.
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.

@@danieleconvertini4996i lost the face mask so i had to shave off gaigar’s handsome face…it still looks good lol
FINAL FUSION, APPROVED!!!
ROGER! FINAL FUSION! PROGRAM….DRIVE!!!!
FINAL!!!! FUSION!!!!
GAO!!! GAI!!! GAR!!!!!!!!
Really looking forward to getting this figure.

It perfectly captures the fg style while also being such a high quality kit!
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
Not dropping off final fusion bgm for the combination is a missed opportunity. Even if it's for copyrights sake. Shame.
Should have used the SRW version as well since he did it for a Wing video
Holy hell. I picked a good time to get back into this hobby. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BRAVE SERIES.
Man, i love this RG. Hopefully Dancouga is next!!
Damn now im kinda hooing for real grades of every major mecha put there.
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 😌

Man if GaoGaiGar is getting the RG treatment then TTGL needs some love to hell maybe even some Big O kits lol

Definitely not for the faint of heart.
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 Manliest Plastic model kit in extinces along side RG Getter Dragon
Those treads & large fists are looking AWESOME ✨🤖✨‼️
I'd give it a Platinum Tier, only is because of these few little issues with the connections
Here's hoping there will be a Genesic GaoGaiGar sooner or later :3
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

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.

Gundam is good, but the brave series is the best. I can't wait to get my hands on this kit and goldymarg
Gonna need to see a Goldymarg integration later on for the hammer.
And a combined size comparison.
After building this one, i would love to get my hand to another version too... Genesic would be stellar tho....
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?

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...
Hopefully we get Genesis Gaogaigar and gaofaigar
It’s Genesic GaoGaiGar, and you’re right
GaoFighgar smells like a P-Bandai release
The best brave series of all time. Guy Shishiou is a chad.
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.

the drill on the knees actually a teaser for RG gurren lagann
I need to get back to watching the show for this.
BTW how many different forms does this mech have again?
Amazing! I can’t definitely worth picking up the genesis gaogaigar if this kit is any indication.
I pre ordered this a while ago. I hope I get mine soon.
LOVE THE CONTENT MECHA
RG 1/1 screwdriver needs to be a separate kit.
Please.
Now they need to make a Dancouga one... SRW FTW!!!

Bandai now can make a solid rg zeta and zz now since rg gaogaigar is pretty solid.
GAOGAIGAAAAAAAAAAAR!
i had to preorder as soon as i saw them selling out
You have to review the HG Brady Phantom soon!!! It has 0 stickers!!!
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.🤔🤔🤔

Every time I want to buy a new kit i always watch the review from you and it's really helpful
But I don't see the review of sazabi ver ka🥺
I'm seeing the beginning of a full fledged super robot taisen rg line?
I'm gonna be honest I totally forgot you existed
Hope there will RG Godannar with its drive change mode transformation. We can only dream xD
I watched all the Yuusha series. Even the ones before GaoGaiGar.
I hope bandai would do an transforming Optimus prime in the future

Seeing those treads reminds me of the horror of the MG Guntank.
besides the great kit and great review. you miss 1 huge opportunity to put Gaogaigar's Transformation Theme on your video when you do combo 5!!

I'm waiting for its Genesic GGG rendition.
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.
A real grade for real braves
Fantastic review. You did the king of Braves justice
I want that it looks so cool
Im glad other folks in here are also hopeful for a potential RG Gurren Lagann line. Would be so dope

9:26 OMG those tracks!! RG GunTank when???
Now we wait for P-Bandai to annouce the Genesic varient!
I woulf hate if genesic is p bandai exclusive
Any tips to tight the fingers so they don't pop off?

Nah i'll stick to the SDCS. The RG is way too overkill, scares me
No yelling FINAL FUSION! for the final combination to Gaogaigar?
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

They have older Bandai upgraded Valkyrie kits before, but still a VF-1 transformable RG kit would be nostalgic and epic! 😍😍
