Indeed, you you ever intend to review a model from the Witch from mercury line? It would be nice to hear your thoughts on how the kit construction changed. @@HobbyClubhouse
Amazing video, the pacing and structure is perfect. Not a single wasted second and so much great information packed in. Your focus on putting the subject into a big picture context is always great. The molding process side bit was a nice bit of education. Your presentation is always pleasant and encouraging. It's so great to see a new video, this was an excellent watch!
Sometimes they stealth-reprint them now and only send them to Gundam Base stores... which doesn't really make things better. At least the 08th MS Team line here is something Bandai is quite willing to print, unlike some lines they just pretend don't exist (looks at 1/144 Turn A and X)
Man, These 90s HGs look so good! For what they are, I’m very impressed! I’ve been fed up with newer models lately (since I keep breaking them,) so I might try to track down something from this line
Super happy to have you back man, been following your come back on twitter and i’ve been waiting for this review ever since you mentioned it in the newer flight types review back then, its such a joy seeing you back
Ashamed to say this video took like a week longer to make because I rerecorded so much stuff. Still, even I myself wanted to have this review so much, and I'm so happy it's out now!
yeah I remember I was trying to buy hg freedom gundam and the seller said it is 1000 turkish liras but it should be around 300 sellers in here makes them expensive if it is from another country
The molding process bit is a great example of why I love watching your videos in the first place. Great to see you back and looking forward to your next video.
I always love your reviews, especially for older kits since you showed how well designed some of them are considering the limitations at the time in great detail. You even made me appreciate older kits a lot more for what they are & made me grab some older kits too (well just the cheap & easy to get stuff like the HGUC Z'gok & Guntank). Anyways thank you for making reviews like this one & also welcome back!
It always strikes me how much passion the designers have (in cases like this anyway) to make a nice kit for us and putting in all that work to make it look so effortless. Even more amazing when a lot of this work was still done by hand at the time (though there were already a lot of computer work by 1999)
welcome back! i always love watching these videos because no matter what kit you’re talking about, your passion reminds me how much i love this hobby. thank you!
10:23 Surprised you didn't mention here (or in the HGUC review) that the ammo belt from the HG is after all these years still the same part used in the HGUC Gouf Custom and Flight Type, and is probably the oldest non-polycap runner still used in modern kits.
Oh shit! You're back! I agree with a lot of your points about how this kit and others like it (older kits made with less advanced technology) are still worth your time as a builder. Not only are they great practice for things like seam line removal and masking, but you can try kitbashing on them without worrying you're ruining an expensive kit forever. A few simple alterations and using polycaps you may already have could open up this kit to having different hands which can then hold a variety of different weapons! Really, the possibilities are endless!
Man it is good to have you back on the road! It is interesting to see we had retail versions of kits that got immediately P-bandai'd whenever they got a newer mold i.e. this Gouf flight type, both GM Snipers or the Ground Gundam with the GM head that you can get from the Ground War Set (I hope we can see you review one of those sets here on the channel someday). Again, I cannot stretch enough how happy we are to have you back man.
The 08th MS Team really got P-Bandai-ed to heck when I'm sure they'd have sold fine at retail. I once held hope they'd do the Mass Production Guntank, but of course they didn't... Glad to be back!
I bet they realized how the poor thing originally got only seconds of screen time and gave it a proper fight -- which they really seemed to put a lot of love into
Still feels crazy to me older kits like this, and things like the first grade kits just don't show up in the US. I know they're old, but they really are the only way to get certain mobilesuits and vehicles (looking at you dodai) so it's strange they NEVER show up here. I guess we can blame bluefin not requesting it from Bandai and being one of the soul intermediaries for companies in the US.
I imagine sellers are worried they won't sell. I mean, sure they're janky as heck and are primitive, but bad influences have led a lot of people to devalue them. I need to finish that Dodai YS video...
@@HobbyClubhouse bad influences? Huh, maybe that could be a good topic for a video then. A full on video made to dispel myths about kits just being "old and bad" would be worthy to the cause of gunpla. I'm also not sure of too many channels besides yourself who sees the value in them. Though I think you have enough on your plate already with your backlog, so no pressure on any sort of vid like that soon. (That and you do try to always make the case for the kits you review)
I still have this kit! I'm already dreading taking the runners out of the box because I really don't want to destroy this elegant kit. ...Maybe I should get another one for building...
If it brings you any peace, my Zaku II's pipes haven't broken (yet) even though the runners really have crumbled. If you can, it's probably better to find one with PE instead of AFX, You can easily see it on the side of the box marked under materials used.

When the world needed him most, he returned.
So many Gundam models need proper respect and love with a Hobby Clubhouse video:)

@zafranorbian757 Yes I do:)
@@HobbyClubhouse Very exiting, thank you for awnsering!
The return of the king
This is it my fellow club keepers, The King has returned! the greatest comeback in the history of gunpla reviews..
One of the best plamo reviewers is back!
"Ah, nothing like rewatching some Hobby Clubhouse videos while working... wait, UPLOADED 20 HOURS AGO???"
It's nice to finally see you back!!
Glad it was such a delightful surprise. I'm back!
Amazing video, the pacing and structure is perfect. Not a single wasted second and so much great information packed in. Your focus on putting the subject into a big picture context is always great. The molding process side bit was a nice bit of education. Your presentation is always pleasant and encouraging. It's so great to see a new video, this was an excellent watch!
I'm flattered beyond words:) I'll keep working at it! Thanks for watching:)
@@HobbyClubhouse its nice to see a review channel where half the video isnt just trying to focus the camera
Crazy to know it was reprinted in 2017 😭 I wish these things were more frequent
Sometimes they stealth-reprint them now and only send them to Gundam Base stores... which doesn't really make things better. At least the 08th MS Team line here is something Bandai is quite willing to print, unlike some lines they just pretend don't exist (looks at 1/144 Turn A and X)

Hell yeah!
Been following you on Twitter and was excited for the return video!

OMG HOBBY CLUBHOUSE IS BACK!!!
love your reviews
Welcome back! Quite like your store videos as someone who buys stuff like nuts:)
@@HobbyClubhouse wow! Thank you! Been a big fan of your videos for a long time as well!
Been such a long while, we're back in the clubhouse, and for such a wonderful HG Gouf kit too! Hype!
HE HAS RETURNED!!
FINALLY!!!!! HOBBY CLUBHOUSE FULLY CAME BACK!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
The hobby clubhouse is finally back I'm so happy and honestly I love his model kit reviews they're pretty awesome.
What a treat this is! Your videos were some of the first I watched when I got into the hobby. You give a lot of insightful commentary
I am from Turkey and it is so hard to buy gunpla here but still I am enjoying your rewievs even though I cannot buy gunpla :D
I bet they cost a lot from parallel importers
yeah I remember I was trying to buy hg freedom gundam and the seller said it is 1000 turkish liras but it should be around 300 sellers in here makes them expensive if it is from another country
Good to finally have you back man.
Not gonna lie, you've been missed.
Would have been maybe a week sooner if I weren't picky and reshot / rerecorded a bunch of stuff ^^;
Glad to be back!
I felt called out "looking where to buy this kit" haha. The pain(t) and gushing over the build
I knew there'd be people immediately thinking: "I wonder if there's a reasonably priced one online..." (because that's exactly what I'd do)
Bro wake up, Hobby Clubhouse is back!!!!
Your explanation of mould shaping is definitely a lot more understandable than before good job
welcome back ma guy, it nice seeing you geeking out on retro kit again.
Man I've wanted to finish my review for this guy for so long, I'm so happy it's finally covered!
Your video style is very soothing
The molding process bit is a great example of why I love watching your videos in the first place.

You'd be surprised by the odd stuff Bandai reuses:)
But yeah, I did forget to mention that...
The box art on this looks incredible, I've not seen it before but it honestly might be my favorite Gunpla box art that I've seen so far.
The one for the gouf custom of this specific line is my personal fave
I wonder if the many box art wafers Bandai released covers these kits. I imagine they don't though...
Oh shit! You're back! I agree with a lot of your points about how this kit and others like it (older kits made with less advanced technology) are still worth your time as a builder.

Return of the king of gunpla
THE RETURN OF THE KING
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!!
Finally i've been waiting for you my GOATTT, the best gunpla reviewer ever!
As a famous tight-suit-clad infiltration expert once said: "Kept you waiting huh?"
I'm very glad you came back, and with an excellent review !
A bit later than as teased by the original HGUC video, but it finally got here!
When i saw you tweeted about this video i was so excited, your reviews are some of the best
I've wanted to have this review myself for so long, I'm super glad it's out!
please keep making reviews my man, your style of presentation is really pleasant and calming
Man I have missed the what the hell Bandai 😂 ! Welcome back! Awesome video. Somehow you always manage to make me respect the old kits.
honey, wake up, new hobby clubhouse video is here??
BABE WAKE UP, NEW HOBBY CLUBHOUSE VIDEO DROPPED
He is alive! Rejoice!
its shoulder armor (especially on the newer one) remind me of the large verniers on the gp01fb
Sooooo glad you are Back.!!
You know there is no one who does gunpla review as good as you on youtube right!!??
Many kits need to be catalogued in the Hobby Clubhouse video format:)
welcome back brother hobby club house!!
Wow welcome back!!! Been so long since I heard that hobby clubhouse opening 🎉🎉🎉
"Welcome to Hobby Clubhouse"
I missed hearing that intro jingle, welcome back!!
Even I missed that jingle myself!
He’s back!!!the king!!
Welcome back!! Big thanks for another great review!!
Hey a cacodemon watched my video
Good to see you back!
YEAH THE KING IS BACK (AMAZING REVIEW)
Welcome back!
the gouf flight type was heavily featured in the 08th ms team short movie "Battle in Three Dimensions"
I bet they realized how the poor thing originally got only seconds of screen time and gave it a proper fight -- which they really seemed to put a lot of love into
a old school cool kit and hope to se more from you this year.
Sure thing, won't be a whole year's wait. The RX-78 video was a strange fluke of TH-cam and wasn't actually me who published it...
The GOAT has returned!!
I love the older box art specially compared to the somewhat cluttered box art we get in newer kits
I quite like the older art that isn't all done with computers. New boxes are very beautiful, but there's something special about raw artistic skill
Glad to see you back!
He has returned!
The king is back!!!
The goat has RETURNED
Welcome back to hobby clubhouse
KING! I’VE MISSED YOU. Great video as always!
i have the newer one, but this one looks pretty good for its age
hobby clubhouse is back yee
He’s back!
YES IM SO HAPPY THAT YOUR BACK
Welcome back king
HE HAS RETURNEDDDDDDDD
Always worth waiting, welcome back brother 🤜🤛
Thanks for waiting! Won't have you do another horrible stretch like that again:)
HE HAS RETURNED

The king has returned.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.pls more videos.
For sure there'll be more videos:)
Ayeee the king is back!
The chosen one has returned!
Finally welcome back.
HE'S BACK
Welcome back dude
The gouf crimson custom from the battlelogue series can, somehow, hold up the mini gun arm in the most insane of poses.
The HGUC Goufs can hold up the gun fortunately. This old kit was quite infamous for this particular floppy elbow that can't handle the big gun...
THE KING IS BACKKKK!!!!!!!!
You bet!
most honourable hobby clubhouse... you've returned...
I have returned!
HES BACKKKKKK
Hey! Nice to see you back. Hope you're doing well. Amazing video as always!
Doing well and super happy now that I've officially gotten the first review out since coming back. Thanks for watching:)
RE-RETURN OF THE KING
Man, I'd love to see more classic 144 HG kits pre-HGUC
There are lots more old 1/144 kits that'd be great for a review too
Welcome backk
I was just thinking about you the other day bro, missed your videos!
I missed you :) You're one of my inspirations. Welcome back man 💪💪💪
So glad to be back!
Having lunch with a hobbyclubhouse video? Dont mind if i do!
Hope you had a great lunch
The goat has returned
Cant wait to see next years review
It'll be faster than a year:)
"HE'S ALIVE OPTIMUS IS HERE!!!"
Welcome back
Nice to see you again
YOOOU!
Welcome back!
welcome back!
I still have this kit! I'm already dreading taking the runners out of the box because I really don't want to destroy this elegant kit.
...Maybe I should get another one for building...
If it brings you any peace, my Zaku II's pipes haven't broken (yet) even though the runners really have crumbled. If you can, it's probably better to find one with PE instead of AFX, You can easily see it on the side of the box marked under materials used.
Nice!! You're finally back 😭
You bet:)
