When you mention the idea of having a smaller gundam inside, I feel like its the purposed idea of both the Ur and Thorn, a modified Lfrith with extra armour parts
@@damagedgears Sounds like a few different customs I've done / am working on (Gouf Warrior Custom, Messer Custom, Dilanza Guelph), and quite a few more I had planned. (Psycho Kampfer, Sazabouf Custom, Sinanjouf Custom, Heavyarms Dao...) ...I have a type.
I actually really like how the chest looks with the stickers. Btw, instead of using a toothpick like you suggested, I would recommend using a cotton bud (the kind with paper sticks) and cut an end off at an angle and use the stick. The paper won't scratch up the sticker like a toothpick can.
Or you could make it a permanent tool in your arsenal and dab that toothpick in a beed of gorilla glue, let it pool around the tip so it conforms to its shape. With the glue dry you now have a smooth pointy surface that can press down on your stickers without damaging the printing on them.
I was assembling the MG Dynames while watching this, and the fact that this kit comes with color-separated eyes + the freaking black mask going over it, just to show how far Gunpla keeps improving years after years.
Every time I see this posted online, I first think it's a painted version of Virtue or Seravee. I so hope we see the separated eye parts in more kits going forward. That's such an awesome detail!
I think this one has been my favorite of the G-witch line to build. Granted I haven’t built all the grunts, only the special named suits aside from chuchus demitrainer. I like how thicc and armored she is.
5:16 now that you mention it.... i instantly thought about that tentative grey Lfrith, could that be Ur actually just a shell unit like Virtue to Nadleeh?
Oh ya know what now that you mention it. I look at them side by side and yes I can see it. They have similar face design with the upper V-fin being the same, same side skirting armor with the 2 back thrusters and even same upper arm and thighs with The Tentative having different front armor. They also have same hands with different colors and have the same type of Beam Sabers. This could either be Lfrith Ur Cast-Off or another Earth's Gundam mayyybeee Piloted by Nika Nanaura?
There is some speculation first thats ms inside of lifrith ur , second thats was lfrit prototipe before become Gundam ur ,third that ms was mass produced from stolen lifrith Ur data
@@Angel_Love6680 i am hoping that it is 3rd Lfrith for Nika tbh, considering her connection with Naji its highly likely that she is the earth 3rd witch too.... but considering the similarities between Ur and that tentative, i dunno anymore cant wait for part 2 wfm....
@@mikeb4198 same! Honestly, both theories for me is considered as a win/win situation since idc whatever the outcome is since both would make a good story twist.
Gundams armed with Gatling guns is like far in-between as we have the Heavyarms, the Leopard, the Unicorn, the G05, the Tornado, the Astray Red Frame, and the Astray Blue Frame.
4:30 and 5:20 This is due to its designer being Takayuki Yanase, yep the same mecha designer that brought us all of Tieria (Virtue, Seravee, Raphael) and Lockon's (Dynames, Cherudim, Zabanya ) units.
Seems less like they were made by witches and more like they were made by dwarves.🤣 I do love their designs though and to me they do kind of makes sense considering they were built on Earth so they need a low center of gravity to more efficiently move around in atmosphere, though the brown one's weirdly shaped feet I imagine not very stable. Edit: but if you don't see where I'm coming from look up any Dwarven songs like I am the mountain or Diggy Hole and play it over either their scenes from Witch from mercury, or while you got these 2 model kits built and you'll see what I mean!
I realy appreciate this kit! I imagine the Thorn will be similar outside of a few alternate aesthetic choices. I love their 00/AGE design and definitely feel the series needed this type of variety. Im picking up both this year, which is rare for me in regards to HG. However I almost feel bandai may decide to come out with a pbandai duo set for the two in some alternate paint scheme or gimmick
Thank you again for the review! To me, it kind of makes me think of a mix between the Gundam Leopard Da Vinci and the Gundam Virtue, the Leopard Da Vinci more so with the color and loadout!
I honestly think the chest sticker looks kinda rad for just a sticker, like different from Aerial’s printed plastic piece, but not too much worse. but I do agree the head shell unit lets the side down
I just bought one just as season 2 is over. I have some left metallic red paint, might try painting those chest and head shells instead of using the stickers
It's weird how people compare it to the Seravee, when it was Virtue that actually had another Gundam beneath the armor. Seravee had Seraphim as a backpack.
Regarding the head jewel, the way the kit does it is faithful to the design, which is just smoke clear when deactive. The red inside lights up when the permet is active. It was bad on the HG 00 kits because they were just clear when they were supposed to be clear red for the entire jewel.
Seconding this, I’ve been looking closely at the shell units for reference purposes making digital models and this is exactly how it’s supposed to look. Only way you could improve it would be lights inside the head and that’s not HG business.
Mecha your content has gotten so so much better than it used to be, thank you for using your normal speaking voice these days, much more watchable than before.
Anyone else think that the unnamed light armored lfrith variant coming out could be the inner gundam that mecha was talking about? Perhaps bandai pulled a virtue nadleeh stunt here
The gatling looks similar to those free customize campaign item ive seen before , the shield is like one of those option armor for the rabiot to be correct .
Imagine a rock solid HG, with no seam lines, color accurate, layered build, almost a complete inner frame and the only complaint is a couple of easy stickers It’s a fair critique and the aerial did it better but this just shows me how good Gunpla kits are to the point where we don’t have to justify a purchase an equivalent amount of post build modifications
@@Dr.Alligator Season 2 trailer has a Heindree stabbing the shield with its lance, so it'll probably deal with it. Though I'd imagine unless it's from something like a rail gun, the bits wouldn't be easily destroyed by bullets.
Definitely gonna get two of this. I might even get four, depending on how things go with the brown one that the name of escapes me. I definitely wanna see the level of compatibility between the two before I go getting that many XD
I had the urge to make a gundam, haven’t before and haven’t done a model in 30s years. And chose this one and plan on painting it up a little and add some battle damage so it lots like it’s been in a fight
The EDM-GA-01 Gundam Lfrith Ur does remind me of GN-005 Gundam Virtue, and I agree that it could be possible that we will see a 'surprise' inner, true mobile suit. It's probably something that will be shown in Season 2. What's interesting is that this and the EDM-GA-02 Gundam Lfrith Thorn is apparently based on the XGF-01 Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model according to the Gundam Wiki. So I guess that is good news since that means we could be seeing an HG XGF-01 Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model soon enough; albeit likely a P-Bandai. 17:0517:31 🤔 A mistake? You repeated this.
The reason this kit doesn’t have the fancy sticker is to keep the cost low because at the end of the day High Grades are meant to be affordable compared to higher tier Gunpla.
Im still curious why these model kits dont at least have some kind of a cockpit, doenst need to be super detailed, just an open/closed segment with a pilot molded in. Just to give the feel of size. I dont imagine it be that hard to create.
It is actually that hard to create. The parts for the cockpit would be so minuscule it'd be extremely difficult to assemble for almost anyone, and it will get in the way of other points of articulation in the torso and the hip.
I bought it last week on impulse, I like the color and the weapon but I don't like the head, it seems to have a double chin and I see the white antennae as strange
As a dude who loves BIG HONKING GATLING GUNS, I love this kit! I’m going to go after it soon. (Seriously, I’ve already bought 3 times the HG GATLING GUN BUILDIVERS WEAPONS KITS…..) 😅
The new series gundam anatomy is more human like exluding this guy. In an actual human body the thighs are indeed longer than the lower leg portion. That makes taking a knee look more natural
Great review!! As someone who's just recently starting to dive into Gunpla, I always have a lot of doubts about which models to buy etc. You managed to get all the answers I needed and definitely helped me make my mind: it's a definite yes. An now I really wanna buy two if them and test out different customizations! Only one question unanswered (but that might be a newbie one) can you attach the shield directly to the arm, no Gatling gun?
The exia also had a small gundam inside it. It was called Setsuna. 5:10
it kept yelling the fact that it was a gundam for some reason too
🤣 So true. Good one!
@PAUL MCKIRA it's like a haro!
Sounds like a p-bandai exclusive
i undstood that reference
Back-mounted Phased Array Cannon
...Back PAC
When you mention the idea of having a smaller gundam inside, I feel like its the purposed idea of both the Ur and Thorn, a modified Lfrith with extra armour parts
I kind of thought those two were originally one Gundam that got split into two.
Nope i think lfrit Will get down grade or mass produce because i see some new kit and have relation to lfrit ur and have beam Cannon on knee
According to the wiki they are based on the Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model.
@@raffaputracv9487 yeah, it's based on the mass produced version of the Lfrith and is essentially a modification of the suit
soo kinda like nadleeh and virtue
Nothing beat a chonky gundam with a gatling gun
Only a Gundam with two chunky Gatling guns and two cannons
Except for one without the pastel colors and almost one-tone color scheme.

Tiera Erde: hooo
You guys forget about Virtue/Nadleeh & Seravee exist 😆
Technically ChuChu’s trainer is the first WFM kit with two open hands in the box. ChuChu wins again. Hope she gets even more violent in April
“How do we make the Seravee look better.”
“Give it a Heavyarms Gatling?!?”
“Give that man a raise!”

fun fact, beam sabers. soft rubber, pointy. perfect for pushing down stickers, ive used them for years now
@@hileif6628 i do this too just bc theyre lying about ahahha
I was assembling the MG Dynames while watching this, and the fact that this kit comes with color-separated eyes + the freaking black mask going over it, just to show how far Gunpla keeps improving years after years.
Ya know, with that color scheme and the phase array thing activated... the Lfrith Ur sort of gives off a vague Doven Wolf vibe with its silhouette.
More like seravee or virtue
man i cannot wait until the second half of the series comes out.
Me too mate, I haven't been this excited for an anime in quite some time!
That and the other kit announcements
I am a FAN of colored gundams. KEEP EM COMIN! Really hope to see some MG kits from this series or some larger RGs
Had to double check if the closing part is on loop 😂, anyways, amazing review as always
7:22 I’ll be painting mine for sure, but that sticker tip for the chest piece, where you trace the lines with a toothpick for depth is hella smart!
Every time I see this posted online, I first think it's a painted version of Virtue or Seravee.
I so hope we see the separated eye parts in more kits going forward. That's such an awesome detail!
The little forehead Gem is one of my favorite aspects of the 00 Gundams, so I love seeing it again here. Also loving that 4 pronged V-fin 🤩

lfrith ur and thorn are such traditional looking designs which are a nice contrast to the slim/curved suits this series has
Gundams armed with Gatling guns is like far in-between as we have the Heavyarms, the Leopard, the Unicorn, the G05, the Tornado, the Astray Red Frame, and the Astray Blue Frame.
Don't forget the Alex Gundam.
@@Kenny_F91 I forgot the Alex probably because its guns are smaller, lol.
Heavyarms Custom is best. No arguments.
Jupitive Gundam?

got this model kit not too long ago and one of my favorite builds out of my 2 years of gundam experience
You persuaded me to buy this as my first ever Gunpla! Thank you, awesome production on the video.
Welcome to the hobby, man
@@cacak58 Thank you!"
I just bought one just as season 2 is over. I have some left metallic red paint, might try painting those chest and head shells instead of using the stickers
Still Love how it's essentially an Updated Seravee Gundam, would be awesome to mod this a little into a 00 Suit
It's weird how people compare it to the Seravee, when it was Virtue that actually had another Gundam beneath the armor. Seravee had Seraphim as a backpack.
I always loved Tieria's gundams they are just so unique.

Thank you hobby link for supporting this channel!
Anyone else think that the unnamed light armored lfrith variant coming out could be the inner gundam that mecha was talking about? Perhaps bandai pulled a virtue nadleeh stunt here
The Gundam Lfrith Ur it reminds me of space hulk Terminator from Warhammer 40K with a assault cannon just go purged them in flame🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:54 you were holding the C runner upside down🙃
It looks like a new studio or location
Looks very nice if it is
I loooove how thick the model is
"Nice gundam, the pilot must be one terrifying brute."
Digging the ultra angular design.
i love the turquoise and just the bulky look i ordered it yesterday cant wait it’s going to be my first model
There was a English dubbed G-Witch Prologue and the Lfrith name was pronounced
ill-frith
more like Rubris
5:17 Did you mean Virtue? Because the small Cherudim is the backpack of the Seravee so it's not really "inside"
The Witch from Mercury only on Animax & HBO
Virtue Gundam brother from another universe!!
17:30 Did I just get hit by King Crimson?😅
The gatling looks similar to those free customize campaign item ive seen before , the shield is like one of those option armor for the rabiot to be correct .
Sophie and the other girl from earth were really likable characters. Kinda evil, but likable. And I actually somewhat feel bad for them.
I like the Gatling gun it has. Now give us 3 more of them bandai
If the HG Gundam Lfrith Thorn is finally out, I wanna see a comparison with the Core Gundam
Mecha have you considered adding +'s and -'s to your ranking system? I'd say this is more like a gold plus, you know, for those not-quite-platinum
Just waiting for the Aerial Rebuild Review even without a Review i already pre-ordered one cause am to in love with the aerial
I didn’t originally like the look and design of the ur but it looks a lot better than I thought
11:10 two sets of wide spread hands for double slapping action!
In the event that you have a HG Seraphim Gundam - which is the main and backpack unit of Seravee Gundam, can the Seraphim dock the Lfrith Ur?
What I find funny about this Gundam is how small the face is, almost fully covered with armor
Can’t wait to get two Lfrith Urs and fully load out one with double everything (the other one will probably go into a custom)
Imagine a rock solid HG, with no seam lines, color accurate, layered build, almost a complete inner frame and the only complaint is a couple of easy stickers
It’s a fair critique and the aerial did it better but this just shows me how good Gunpla kits are to the point where we don’t have to justify a purchase an equivalent amount of post build modifications
Like those stickers look great
I missed this one. It must have gotten lost in my subscriptions. Love this kit.

Hobbylink Japan still has no stock, are people buying everything on backorder with no arrival estimate?
Uhh, are my meds not working or is the dialog in 'the verdict' accidentally repeated?
I thought they used physical ammo for the gatling, not beam?
No, they use beam, the Aerial's Gunbits deflected them. Only the Desultors used physical ammunition.

@xxnike0629xx it will be another good news too if you show a pic or vid of your built kits from mid-2012 onwards
@xxnike0629xx so, a pic or vid, or it did not happen LUL
@xxnike0629xx And that's not an insult, that is just a fact of life. YEAH!!
Am I the only one that has the loop during the Verdict? Made me double take lol

no, it's probably an editing mistake (i got it too)
The reason this kit doesn’t have the fancy sticker is to keep the cost low because at the end of the day High Grades are meant to be affordable compared to higher tier Gunpla.
I think this one and pharact are the best of this series, at least for me.
So glad I pre-ordered 😊 can't wait!
This is like the Gundam Virtue for a new generation!
Just got the HG Michaelis and the HG Dilanza!! I'm excited!! 😁🙏🙌
Calls out Gundum Heavy guns Trowa: meh one gatling gun..
Speaking of the possibility of having another Gundam inside of it, my mind immediately went to that still currently unnamed HG coming out in June. 🤔🤔
4:11 what about the gundam pharact
Im still curious why these model kits dont at least have some kind of a cockpit, doenst need to be super detailed, just an open/closed segment with a pilot molded in. Just to give the feel of size. I dont imagine it be that hard to create.
It is actually that hard to create. The parts for the cockpit would be so minuscule it'd be extremely difficult to assemble for almost anyone, and it will get in the way of other points of articulation in the torso and the hip.
Even Realgrades have no detailed cockpit or pilot. At best they have openable hatches.
I love how this kit looks. I just wish we could get 1/100 wfm kits
I bought it last week on impulse, I like the color and the weapon but I don't like the head, it seems to have a double chin and I see the white antennae as strange

Maybe if there is a another Gundam hidden under all that armor maybe it’s that unnamed Gundam that has the same waist parts
okay so im not the only one that thinks that Ur reminds me of Build DIvers Veetwo and Nepteight.
17:30 my man actually repeat a second time to remind rubris ur how disappointing its chest sticker was
Yup 😅😂
Reminds me of the Leopard, which reminds me that we still don't have the Leopard in HGAW form.
I need to do a custom combining this with heavy arms!!
How do you feel about Bandai making a real grade epyon this year in September
I like the design of Lfrith Ur I can’t wait to build her.👍😊
I believe the earth gundams were designed by the mechanical designer from Gundam 00…hence why they resemble virtue/seravee
That color vs the orginal that was shown to us is very shocking.
Am i hear u say 'goin go with this gold which at the same time feels a little bit not right' two times? Love this lyrics..
reminds me a lot of heavy arms custom and I freakin love it
I really like this one, Ur was a favorite of mine
