The Wing Gundam Zero's beam sabers are actually supposed to go into those white hatches on top of the shoulder armor, at least that's where they go in the anime.
They actually don't fit though, a few other reviewers have done reviews on this way back during Its release, and they noted that the hatch wasn't deep enough/the beam sabers were too long to properly store.
The anime shows that the beam sabers hilts shrink (like having a spring) when stored so they fit inside the shoulder pads and expand when they're taken out. Obviously they cannot replicate that gimmick on 1/144 scale :(
I feel this version of Wing is underrated where Wing Gundam and Custom are the ones people remember more. This one is my personal favorite. It's such a good kit. Just finished mine today
Not that much, there's a decent number of people who prefer this version to the Custom because the entire feathers thing doesn't seem to quite fit...especially with EW showing what looks like holographic feathers coming off of it when in it's intro. Snow White amplifies that to stupidity though... However, I do like the Seraphim and Lucifer variation of the feathered wings, probably because they looked less busy compared to the EW Customs.
UGH! Yes! Those shoulder torso polycaps keep sinking in! I was worried I assembled mine poorly, so it's good to hear I'm not the only one who suffers from this.
For the polycap in the chest for the shoulder joint: If you cut out a slab of plastic from the flat label sections of the runner, you can wedge it inside the chest behind the poly cap and it keeps the poly cap from going into the chest and getting stuck.
Build a Victory Ver Ka. Redemption arc. If you do I'll custom build you one with improved articulation in the torso and legs. You have my word on that.
When you realize that this guy was first piloted by a berserk Quattra Reberba Winner, after his father was killed. Then It was piloted by some weenie who thought having the Wing Zero made him invincible Then it was piloted by Zechs Marquise after he gave up his beloved Tallgeese Then he met Heero and they were like "hey, let's trade Gundams Then Heero used it when he fought Zechs for the last time.
That "hey lets trade gundams" bit is p much dead on what happened. Zechs didnt like the wing zero and much as he did the Epyon and Hero hated the Epyon. and they just stopped fighting and decided to trade gundams like they were pokemon cards. lol
This one holds a special place in my book. Got it at target this oct and started my gunpla craze as well as to this channel. I love it and it’s little imperfections.
I had gotten this kit for myself for christmas and haven't built it yet because its a Christmas gift and was anticipating on how the finished product was gonna turn out but now I feel good about building it thanks man
Besides the shield clashing with the shoulder. The only real flaw I had was with the wing binders. If you open and close them too much it will stress that connect that they snap into causing them to break. Also idk if it was just my kit but whenever I opened the wing binders, despite making sure they clicked into place before hand, they would tend to almost pop out which contributed to the stress on that connection.
after this one i felt like watching your mg proto zero review, then dove into the rabbit hole watching a couple other much older videos, it's neat seeing this progression over time lol. keep it up been a long time fan, i appreciate the work you do
this is my first one I've built, and ordered 3 more straight after, I've actually watched a lot of your vids though, thanks dude I appreciate your tips and such
@@rajwa.abisena The Wing zero is the gundam the 5 colonies scientists designed first then thought was not a good idea to make cause it drives the pilot nuts. they then each made their own gundams (wing gundam, Deathscythe ect) but Quatre goes nuts and finds the plans for the Wing Zero and makes it to get revenge.
This was the first kit I ever built and what got me into Gunpla looking back on it I made the right choice now it stands on my shelf transformed and looks amazing
The left over hands for heavyarms are good for the the wing zero. That's what I did with mine, the sandrock shotel holding hands look great for sabers. And the open hand is obviously good
I bought this as my first gundam kit, I’ve always been into the hobby i just never made the plunge of actually building them so i cannot wait!! One last question, what stand thingy do you use to hold it up for display?
if you really are going to get a black light one high grade that will look amazing is the hgbf try burning or its successor the kamiki burning, other kits have need uv reactive plastic, like the psyco frame on the real grade unicorn, all the effect parts on the real grade crossbone glow brightly with a hint of orange, and i do believe the same goes for the wings of light on the highgrade destiny
I recently just bought this for a little kid who extemely adored this mobile suit, what a coinsidence and now you are reveiwing it now I have proof this kit is good
I just ordered this kit, which is, btw, my first one ever. I hope I'll be satisfied with it. I don't really know if this one is good for beginners or not tho.
I remember back when I was a kid getting gundam wing when its first series getting popular. I think it was around 2005-2006. That gunpla was much more posable than this. For example, like the sword you can actually stored it in the shoulder, well not store it technically but you can attached it in and pose it like its unsheath it sword from the shoulder, the white part where you can open and close. And, the toes can actually bend downward for transformation. Also, the finger can articulated as well to hold the rifle/colony buster. I cant remember what grade it is but I think it was HG.
I nabbed this and Strike Freedom for $36 during a sale. These will be my first kits. As I was putting the stickers on the head, it hit me, I now understand why people don’t like stickers.
beam saber is stored in the shoulder armors, the white part. head is supposed to be turned around to look at the shield to hide the face better, remove fist as they are to be in the arm (ala zz gundam)
I liked this HG when I first got it. Just a bit of a forewarning: make sure to keep pressure on the wing hinges when posing them because they get stress marks easy.
the beam saber hilts is actually supposed to be stored inside the 1 section of the shoulder armor :) always loved your reviews , though this may be my first time commenting on one of your videos, just I am a wing series fanatic just one to help you with one tiny detail, since it would suck to loose that small beam saber hilt. more power to you. God Bless. PS hope bandai releases a new updated version of the Wing Zero since this is my fave MS of all time. :)
Fun to build is an understatement!! I felt like I was doing the ungraded version of the kit that I used to have forever ago. As for 2014-15...I didn't know that they had even MADE HGs of the original Gundam Wing anime designs. Glad I found this reissue at Target last month, and for pretty cheap, too! (Now I have three HG Revives: Wing ZERO, Zeta, and the RX78-2...need more...have they released the other Gundam Wing peeps yet!?) The alternate feet to cheat really bug me, though: the ungraded kit could fold up the feet properly...so for a High Grade having to cheat in order to to do something that a puny inferior ungraded kit could do natively??? Inexcusable & unacceptable!!
I was waitin XD i thought u wont post my 2nd gundam ty! btw on the way building mg barbatos. Thx to u because i didnt know if its good or like bad but when i watch yours vids its actuallty good! Ty!!!
loving all the wing gundam attention especially the ver va and rg unit 01 though i do hope for any pbandai variants i do hope for the ver ka to c a Snow white ver and/or wing zero rebellion kits and for the rg if we're lucky maybe a Gundam wing fencie RG
Kinda expected a size comparison with the HGAC Sandrock and Heavyarms, don't suppose you could tweet a quick picture of them together or something? This kit Is so far my first and only gunpla (newbie builder here!) and I was thinking of getting Sandrock and Heavyarms next. Btw I have the same Issues with the shoulders and arms falling off, thought I got that one bad kit of the batch but this seems to be a common problem. Also HOLY CRAP you blew my mind with the wing binders articulation! I had this kit for a month now and It somehow never crossed my mind to check those things for articulation! Now I can open up those bad boys and flare them out. Oh and I totally understand If you didn't want to put that long red sticker on the shield, that was kinda of a pain to do and I'm surprised I didn't botched It myself although I did find putting on yellow stickers on the wings and gun fairly simple and they look pretty nice. The sticker for the eyes was just plain evil though, It was SOOOO TINY and took several tries repositioning It and I was surprise the adhesive was still strong enough to stick. Lastly after a few more High Grades do you think I could handle a building Real Grade or even a Master Grade? I got my eyes on the RG Nu Gundam, RG Sazabi and the MG Barbatos especially since my local Target actually has Barby In stock.... which Is also where I got my Wing Gundam Zero, I'm surprised my Target even had any gunpla tbh!
I have this hgac zero, I also have the HG wing, RG zero ew, RG Wing. I'm planning to get all the other variations of hg (zero honoo, fenice, fenice renascita), I had the chance to acquire them all before but I didn't want them at that time yet. Also, I saw on gunpla wiki that 01W wing gundam is scheduled to be the RG No. 36. I would buy that IF IT'S NOT A P-BANDAI.
I have/had the same problem with my wing zero too, (the shoulder joint). I thought it was just mine, but sucks to see that yours has the same problem. 😕 Other than that, still an awesome kit. 👌🏼 Definitely thinking about picking up another one for customizations 😏
Hi, may we see a MG Gundam Double X review. Would like to know is the waist joint really loose and floppy, and can it stand on its own two feet with the backpack on. Thank you. Gundam Double X is my favorite mobile suit.
I have this one. I have the same problem with the shoulder joints. Other than that, it looks cool, especially when paired with the rest of the Wing Gundams.
You should check out the HGBF Wing Gundam Zero Honoo, it's based on this and is even better imo. It looks really nice and has some nice clear orange on it
I lost the saber handle on mine during the build. I probably never would've displayed him holding it anyway but it's the principle. Or was this with the normal HGUC Wing..?
You forgot to mention the pile driver feature of the shield, and turning the head for the transformation. You should do a review on the HG Saviour Gundam. It's pretty old, but it really is still a good kit, and highly deserves a revive.
You're supposed to rotate the head 180 degrees for Bird Mode so the face is hidden. The debut in the anime even shows that to be part of the transformation though that scene starts with the Gundam in said bird mode. You need to remove one of the clavicle vulcan covers to get the clearance to rotate the head but it shouldn't be too difficult.
I bought this kit a while back and YMMV on how difficult the shoulder is depending on your poly caps. Mine pops out almost every time I try to do more than a swivel, but aside from that glaring flaw this is a very nice kit overall, just expect to have to do some fixes on the shoulder joint
The shoulders are the worst I ended up glueing them in the chest so they don’t fall back in. If you put glue or something in the chest without glueing the joints it can still move around without getting stuck in the middle.
The polycap joint that hold the arm is a common problem. What I would do is get anything that is small and flat enough in the chest to keep the joint from going in any further.
I don't know why but mine will not stay together at all. The arms are constantly falling out of the socket the torso is always getting disconnected from the legs it's annoying
I'd love to see a review from you on the Union Flag or Over Flag from 00. It's my favorite grunt suit of the series, maybe ever, and it's a fully transforming (no partsformation!) HG grunt suit. It's one of my favorite kits just based on that alone, and although I know it's never gonna happen, I'd love to see a master grade of it.
Maybe time to ugrade my gundam wing collection. i remember that white panel on the sholder is the beam saber storage rack. have you tried putting them in those shoulder panels? in neo bird mode btw, the head is turned backwards to hide the face.
I got this kit with my heavy arms so I could make the whole gundam wing team, already have sandrock, still waiting on shenlong to be announced, but the new hg deathscythe looks killer.
If I remember correctly, in the HG, the hilts are too long to fit in the white hatches. But they can still open up so you can recreate the pose of grabbing the saber hilt.
I would love more rg kits of other main gundam would like to see more rg wing kits think they'll do well and want to see rg g gundam kits I think those can really push the rg line in posing
Bought this kit back in 2016, it was my 2nd ever gunpla (my first was the Revive RX-78-2). I was praying that you would talk about the shoulder polycap problem. The polycap got so loose from arm popping off all the time that the joint became floppy and could keep the arm in the air.
According to the instructions, when you transform you're supposed to flip the head and the waist around 360°. Not sure how much of a difference it makes as I just built my Wing Zero tonight & haven't tried the transformation yet, but I noticed that during the video
if your going back to older hg kits I think you should take a look at the m1 astray the ground hg version of red frame astray it's one of my favorites so you should check it out :)
I really hope the RG Wing Gundam does well enough in sales that we get an RG of this guy down the road as well.
Expect it to be a P-Bandai as well🤣
I'd be shocked if we didn't get a RG Wing Zero TV.Ver.
@@Jordan_Morgan sad... but i can see it happening 🙄
@@Jordan_Morgan I would cry :(
Well if they do make an rg I REALLY hope the clear piece on the chest is actually green cuz im much too lazy to paint
The Wing Gundam Zero's beam sabers are actually supposed to go into those white hatches on top of the shoulder armor, at least that's where they go in the anime.
Even after bringing the instructions in for the Buster Rifle he still doesn't notice, smh 🤦
They actually don't fit though, a few other reviewers have done reviews on this way back during Its release, and they noted that the hatch wasn't deep enough/the beam sabers were too long to properly store.

The 1/60 also stored the Hilts in the Shoulder. And the original 1/144 and 1/100 had both transforming feet instead of partsswapping
I feel this version of Wing is underrated where Wing Gundam and Custom are the ones people remember more. This one is my personal favorite. It's such a good kit. Just finished mine today

the shoulder joints on my figure are so freaking loose🫠
@@danieleconvertini4996is there a fix to it? I have the same problem but thankfully I bought it just for 13 bucks and is glorious for the price
For the polycap in the chest for the shoulder joint: If you cut out a slab of plastic from the flat label sections of the runner, you can wedge it inside the chest behind the poly cap and it keeps the poly cap from going into the chest and getting stuck.
tysm. Just got this kit and am looking for the advice and reviews lol
Is not as easy as it sounds

If you still want to review old Gunpla
Can you review HG Gundam Legilis next?
meh Age 2 better
Grabbed this kit from Target randomly, was very impressed for a HG, got me back into gunplay, now I have 5 EW MG's on the way lol.
So glad that Bandai brought back the HGAC line. I absolutely love the wing suits.
I had gotten this kit for myself for christmas and haven't built it yet because its a Christmas gift and was anticipating on how the finished product was gonna turn out but now I feel good about building it thanks man

The 1996 ver of this kit was my first kit I ever built in my life and after buying this it was an amazing nostalgia blast
I remembered the HG Exia I got as a kid that got crushed by my little brother.

You finally did it! I've been wanting you to review this for years. Any chance you could look at the Gundam Astrea type f hg and the Wing Zero Honoo?
I second this. Specially the Wing Zero Hoono.
Do the HG psycho gundam next or the HG zudah if you're doing older kits now
Keep of the great uploads, if possible I’d love to see reviews on older UC master grades like the Neo Zong or 0083 kits
thank you, I just purchased this Kit. Today!!
Great Video!!
I want to know what your think about the HGUC Kshatrya, really love to see your review about that kit
I loved it. Had to leave it behind in Japan though. Probably should get a new one...
I bought this as my first gundam kit, I’ve always been into the hobby i just never made the plunge of actually building them so i cannot wait!! One last question, what stand thingy do you use to hold it up for display?
Hey, thanks for the reiview today. Could you review some old kits that were released in the 90s if you have one?
I would love an Hg of the Shenlong Tv.ver, such a cool gimmick with his dragon fang arm
I like the fact that you've been releasing a lot of reviews recently which is good for the heart. Lol
Just finished this one, myself, and I was really impressed with the surface detail. Little bit of paint on the knee vents goes a long way, too.
I picked this kit up years ago and it has held up really well. Quite pleased with this kit.
if you really are going to get a black light one high grade that will look amazing is the hgbf try burning or its successor the kamiki burning, other kits have need uv reactive plastic, like the psyco frame on the real grade unicorn, all the effect parts on the real grade crossbone glow brightly with a hint of orange, and i do believe the same goes for the wings of light on the highgrade destiny
I just finished building mine today, surprised when I saw this review was published on the same day!
Would you recommend the Bandai 5057986 Rx-0 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) Mega Size 1/48 Model Kit, from Gundam Uc for a beginner
I recently just bought this for a little kid who extemely adored this mobile suit, what a coinsidence and now you are reveiwing it now I have proof this kit is good
You can use cotton cloth to make the plastic shine after sanding with 600 grit sand paper
I just ordered this kit, which is, btw, my first one ever. I hope I'll be satisfied with it. I don't really know if this one is good for beginners or not tho.
Next the Master Grade Wing Zero Proto. Would be the logical choice

I'd love to see a review from you on the Union Flag or Over Flag from 00. It's my favorite grunt suit of the series, maybe ever, and it's a fully transforming (no partsformation!) HG grunt suit. It's one of my favorite kits just based on that alone, and although I know it's never gonna happen, I'd love to see a master grade of it.
The HG flags sucked big time
Maybe time to ugrade my gundam wing collection.
i remember that white panel on the sholder is the beam saber storage rack. have you tried putting them in those shoulder panels?
in neo bird mode btw, the head is turned backwards to hide the face.
Gaikotsu, you need to review all the 1/100 SEED Librarian Suits. Examples: Gale Strike, Regent Duel, Nebula Blitz, Vent Saviour, etc. Look it up.
I'll just wait for the rg version of this since they already releasing the rg wing tv ver..
I got this kit with my heavy arms so I could make the whole gundam wing team, already have sandrock, still waiting on shenlong to be announced, but the new hg deathscythe looks killer.
Oh man I got one of these in the early 2000’s when I was a kid, great kit. Sadly most of it is missing, looking for a new one.
Wait so you can’t store the hilts in the shoulder like with the mg?
If I remember correctly, in the HG, the hilts are too long to fit in the white hatches. But they can still open up so you can recreate the pose of grabbing the saber hilt.
I’ve built this kit before you can store the beam saber hilts in the white section of the shoulders
No you can't the space isn't big enough. The old NG from the 90's allowed it but this newer one from 2014 doesn't have a space to store them.
I would love more rg kits of other main gundam would like to see more rg wing kits think they'll do well and want to see rg g gundam kits I think those can really push the rg line in posing
I’m getting this soon! It’s gonna be my first kit! 😃
Bought this kit back in 2016, it was my 2nd ever gunpla (my first was the Revive RX-78-2). I was praying that you would talk about the shoulder polycap problem. The polycap got so loose from arm popping off all the time that the joint became floppy and could keep the arm in the air.
holy shit ur first and second gunpla are the exact same as mine, got them for christmas today
According to the instructions, when you transform you're supposed to flip the head and the waist around 360°. Not sure how much of a difference it makes as I just built my Wing Zero tonight & haven't tried the transformation yet, but I noticed that during the video
hnnnnnnnnnnng the sheer amount of Wing Zero videos is slowly crushing me....
Can you do a review of HG OOq?
I can't decide whether I need to spend $8 more for a RG or just buy the cheaper HG
if your going back to older hg kits I think you should take a look at the m1 astray the ground hg version of red frame astray it's one of my favorites so you should check it out :)
I hope you review The HG O Gundam,Its amazing
Got the MG Wing proto zero myself
i would love to see the HG version of the OZ-12SMS Taurus
