![GUNPLA CUSTOM BUILD - I Build an Astonishing Section for Char’s Mobile Suit NIGHTINGALE [HG 1/144]](/img/n.gif)
FYI: Char's "musical note" logo is actually a stylized "C.D." for Casval Deikun.
Well shit. I can't unsee this now....
🤯
Always wondered. Thanks for letting me know
To me it looks like CD for "Casval Deikun" but also CA for "Char Aznable" and a stylized Q for "Quattro." I mean you might be right and the designer intended for it to be CD but they ingeniously made it to be interpretable either way of those three lol.
Zach: "I hope they will release Psycho Doga"
Bandai: "So... You have chosen... 'P'"
It's so true it's not even funny
No issue for me.
I have a middle man! XD
I mean, it makes sense that it would anyway. It's a variant that relatively unknown by most casual gundam fans.
@@Donnlour well yes, I won't be even surprised if it's going to be P-Bandai. should be expected thing.
especially that usually P-Bandai involves around not really that famous suits.
the funny part is the cockpit's scale inside the head unit is out of wack as in it is too small to fit a 1/144 Char Aznable that resulted in people making a mental image that poor Char is crammed into the tiny cockpit like an egg, lol.
The Sazabi was the OG pokeball, Nightingale just uses the same design
For everything he did, kinda deserves that
Tbf the sazabi's cockpit doesn't make any sense in the movie so im sure the same shit with nightingale
@@j.s8660 Considering the design of the Nightingale, it makes sense. It's piloted by a huge dick
Fun fact: the re1/100 was based on the original design which had thicker front skirt arms similar to the o's, and no abdominal cannon and machine gun, while the hguc is based in the manga which added these features and better proportions
That was indeed a fun fact.
Nightingale and The O in a sumo match! Battle of the beefers!
More reason to like the HGUC Nightingale
Definitely has big PP energy. So this or the Baund Doc as a better adaptation of a big HG MA/MS
I like how Char just straight up stole concepts from The-O and Quebeley and claimed it as his own
There is no reason to buy the RE1/100 anymore, the HGUC is far superior than the RE in every single way. Before the HGUC was announced, the Robot Spirits Nightingale is the definitive ver. But now I'm glad that we have a cheaper alternative.
The only problem with this kit is the size...not sure where to put it whenever I pick it up.....
Without considering the price I'd say the Robot Spirits Nightingale is still the definitive version, but taking pricing into play the HGUC is the better choice.
You forgot to mention the SD nightingale ( great kit if you need the nightingale but don't have enough space ) personally I need the hg and re100 versions but I'd have to seriously think about it if bandai made a pg version😭 wouldn't have room
@@666styxxx666 I do have the sdcs ver, very nice kit indeed.
@@fantastiCkiLler92 Did you use the CS frame for your SDCS Nightingale? I heard it's not much difference. But I'm curious if the silhouette booster will add more height to the kit.
@@mistermastermind528 I didn't. From the pics I saw, the cs frame does add some height but doesn't look all that great imo.
The Nightingale's a beautiful kit. Thanks for the review, since I'm still deciding to buy this or not.
The torso area looks like a crossover of Armored Core 4 AC's and Ferrari. Seems tempting to paint it chrome or candy apple red.
I'm a nightingale fan, owned the RE and the SD but I never imagined that the RE100 would look so outdated when compared side by side with the new HG.
The HG's design is just perfect and it feels like it has a bit better parts separation than the RE.
The sub-arms feels like an insult to injury here for those who owned the RE one, idk why bandai cannot incorporate 3-4 pieces of plastic in a bigger scale back in the day.
I was going to skip this because of the somewhat ridiculous price in my country (on par, or even a tad expensive than the RE one!), but seeing that RG Hi Nu is also released I might grab this later.
Would be lovely to see my CCA shelf got filled with all kinds of sazabi, nu, nightingale, and hi nu lol
As someone who loves the Nightingale more than the Sazabi, I'm waiting for the reprint with bated breath.
Apart caught an order. How you get your friends
What makes the Nightingale better than the Sazabi for you?
@@michaeldelcastillo7211 ooooooh i'm here for the sazabi vs nightingale comment wars.
*grabs popcorn*
@@michaeldelcastillo7211 Nightingale is silly and far more impractical than sazabi in my book. Looks very cartoonish and probably looks alright in a manga or illustration but in 3d it just looks silly. Why even the need of limbs when they can barely move under the skirt? The filmsy shoulder armors look more decorative than practical within the logic of the gundam universe. It is like the bad and cartoon design from z and zz x10. The MS design in Hathaway Flash suffer the same problem too.
@@blipblip You can argue practicality and all that, but in the sheer symbolism and presence dept, in my opinion the Nightingale definitely beats the Sazabi. The Nightingale embodies the last gasp and excess of Neo Zeons final push against Earth. Designed without any consideration for in-atmosphere operations, freed from the shackles of gravity, an alien like design that definitely belongs to someone who wishes to destroy the cradle of humanity.
Been waiting for you to cover this. Ordered one myself and I'm quite excited for it, definitely looks unique
If I remember the kit actually DOES have an ab crunch, though its stiff because it needs to hold up such weight
For those who are wondering why this MS is ridiculously phallic and Freudian, just remember what Char's pseudonym was in Zeta.
Most of the MS in Gundam series already has a "bulge".
This one looks it had survived No Nut November, or had a Viagra/Cialis overdose.
@@First-Name_Last-Name The other famous MS with crotch beam sabers is The-O, piloted by Newtype seduction specialist Papsmear Circus
Wouldn't you know, he's also in Zeta Gundam along with the vegetable with a girl's name and Quattro [CENSORED].
Wait what do you mean? I havent watched zeta
@@Justlilmonster Char's name in Zeta was "Quattro Bajeena"
I love how big this kit is, still rearranging the space for this monster especially to display it with my upcoming rg hi nu gundam
So glad to see you cover this. Been waiting for your review!
This thing looks like it will fit right in Final fantasy 7 as a super boss.
The Ruby weapon and emerald weapon were based off mobile suits.
airbuster are literally zeong
This is like magic!! I get to watch this awesome review the same day I get discharged from the hospital!!! Lol yeah I definitely wanna pick this up for my RG Hi Nu.
The whole boxart foretelling of future kits was most prominent for the new MG 00 kits. It was too coincidental to not be purposeful. The Kyrios was in the background of the Dynames boxart and the Virtue was in the background of the Kyrios boxart. So people want to see if this trend will continue though the Tieren was also in the Kyrios boxart and we haven't got an announcement for that.
The tieren has already a 1/100
@@genovese667 yes but that doesn't stop them from making a MG of something that has a NG 1/100. The Dynames, Kyrios, and Virtue/Nadleeh have 1/100 before they made their MGs.
@@reijigamer mabye after an eventual mg exia 2.0 they will consider starting making grunts, but a mg tieren nor a flag or enact would share the gn frame, so highly unlikely
Best intro right there Zaku!
It looks really cool. I’m a big fan matching suits with their rivals to display, but I worry about a hg with a super detailed rg. If u do one of those tutorials or build videos would love to see how you go about making a hg look good enough to sit next to a rg
I just bought this at a comic shop yesterday! My second kit, first being the RE Nightingale hahaha. What can I say I'm a big fan of Char and the nightingale lol
I'm looking forward to getting to build mine.
Size comparison with the RG Sazabi would have been nice!
yes, i preorder and waiting now...usa is always behind th releases!
Def interested in it, especially to display with a RG Hi-Nu, but my penelope vs xi effect set box is staring at me
i think some blueprint and parts went to penelope gundam.
appreciate the review as well! imo its really a great kit to have!
Love it, on my wish list now
This is just a very large, massive mobile suit…… I mean, I like it because it’s on the extreme side, unlike your typical RX-78, but at the same time, it also seems very cumbersome. That said, the design grills itself to some very creative painting opportunities as well as panel line scribing. I just can’t imagine it as a very nimble fighter being all bulky like that, probably better off as a sentry or guardian at post or something. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on this !! I have the SD version and that’s been pretty fun to work on.
It’s a Char suit that ain’t Chars style.
Show link some love, more MA.K kits!!! Also this kit is so badass I can’t wait to get my hands on a kit.
mine finally arrived! gonna have to pass on the RG Hi Nu tho since the HG looks more in scale💯 with this beast
Zaku you actually didnt realize it comes with an AB crunch, it is just really tight but it does have ab articulation
Really happy the box is not monochromatic
Was able to get a preorder in with USA Gundam Store for this bad boy, but I figure I'll be waiting a long time regardless since it has ended up on the delay list. Very much looking forward to it.
I am also hoping for a Psycho Doga. Much cooler looking suit than the Jagd Doga, so weird they went with that one for the animated continuity.
Did you get it?
@@NoLieIm51 Yes! It is an excellent kit.
Bought the Jet effect parts in anticipation of this kit and RG Hi-nu. Disappointed that the Funnels won't fit to the effect parts without modding. Still a very impressive centerpiece, though.
price is logic for me
the rg crossbone come with alot where the rg unicorn comes with the the basic gundam loadout
but unicorn cost more bc of the layering of the armor
I honestly like it a lot more after this review. I always thought it looks like a big beetle or something.
"the third leg to hold up the back skirt" 😅
"and all that good stuff"
such a beautiful kit
I'd love a version of the Nightinggale's rifle in a more standard HG/RG size so I can give it to a normal sized MS.
Was hoping for a comparison between HGUC Sazabi and HGUC Nightingale
Thanks to you Zack, now I want the kit. R.I.P. my wallet.
Hlj preorder just came through... crazy times
While I think it's very awesome, and the number of parts + the "inner frame" makes it look real good, I think it's too much for me. I'm going to get the SDCS instead. Hehehe. Thank you for reviewing this kit.
Kosmos makes a sick led kit for this
I figured the kit would be huge, even if I do want to get it I don’t have any space for it, majority of my model kit collection are the average 1/144 size
When Gundam's a grasshopper, This one's the red Beetle.
Pyscho doga is now on HGUC 😍😍😍
Ballistic Zaku be like: *looks at Nightingale's rifle*
Don't know if it's just me, but I cannot help but see parallels to ED-209 in those feet.
I'm getting this to match my RG Hi Nu.
Hey Zach, just wondering in terms of disassembling this kit for painting, how would you go about taking the yellow parts out of the thruster bells? I built this when I was first starting and did not account for panting it in the future, am I just stuck with having to mask off the thrusters now?
Drill from the back end and push them out! Easy! 👍
Ah yes, 2021's Perfect Grade
I love that this thing has 4 "legs".
4:35 the big what part now 😂
The mailman dropped mine off today!
The front toe bends more if u pull on it a bit.
I really hope we get a Psycho Doga.
What about the funnels? Can we do anything with them?
Can't wait to see this kit get scribed by pro builders
Not gonna lie now I'm hoping for a Ver. KA I don't know how Katoki is gonna pull it off but what is life without dreams right?
My favorite design is that 10cm mini model version of the Nightingale. I just love the chicken-like legs on that one (unpopular in zaku's opinion, i know), makes more sense in my head, u know, a nightingale being a species of bird and stuff.... 🤷🏽♂️
edit: it's probably around 4 cm not 10 cm
@@Gunpla_shrimp no the one that's even smaller, not converge, not mobile suit ensemble, they weren't "deformed" style, came out in a small series of similarly scaled mini-kits and they were colored in a single color that was akin to resin kits. don't remember the name.
He means Gundam Artefact Nightingale.
@@blueonblack83 YES thank you
Amazing
Sir Zach,
Do you think that there's any chance that the Nightingale will have a RG treatment?
Thanks!
Watching from the Philippines. More power to your channel. :)
No chance
Anyone know if this will fit in an IKEA Detolf?
Are you going to buy the HG getter arc?
Any idea if bandai will make rg for dis?
Now imagine an RG of this... oh MAMA...
I want it I NEED it along with the re100 version my SD nightingale demands it😡 update 😁😰 finally got the hg nightingale my biggest problem is after building where I display it
HG PSYCO-DOGA KIT ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER 2022!
OF COURSE IT'S PBANDAI!
Not even P-Bandai, it’s a Fukuoka Gundam Base exclusive! 💀
めっちゃかっこいい！
So... is this ever going to get an RG version? Cuz I gotta tight budget and I need to pick my battles.
No never
This is so tempting to get but having still too many backlogs and no space to display/store the kit, this seems a pass for me for now.
Pre-ordered this from two stores, still waiting. Is it available somewhere?
Still waiting as well, I think this kit got hit hard with the shortage
"Got the big dong part over here". That got me! XD
14:15
A char Aznable suit? Gravity?
I laughed so hard at the big dong part.
Thats hugeeee
“Look at how gigantic this box is”
Now toss it
Who's beltorchika and where are her children?
The more reviews I see of this thing... the more I realize I've made a terrible mistake.
HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA SHELF THIS MONSTER?!
Mine's sitting alone on the top of my book case lol.
@@Illsteir That must be one huge book case.
Kinda shocked the HG version got functional sub-arms. The Re1/100 version has been sitting in my backlog for a while now but after seeing this I legit feel like I got the "worse" version. It's crazy how much gunpla design/technology can change in just a few years - iirc the Re and HG versions were only released 2 years apart?
Lol. RE came out in 2014. Before the HG came out there was the robot spirit version in 2017/18 which was basically the fancier version of the HG with subtle differences. According to some the size is even tiny bit smaller than the HG and it has those sub arms. It really isn't rocket science it is about how much Bandai cares to put it in there. The PG RX-78-2 is still a amazing kit for how old it is. And RE is always the cheap line without inner frame and full on gimmicks.
@@blipblip Ah no wonder - had no idea the RE was *that* old.
now we wait for the $300 MG Nightingale
They aint gonna make it theres a re born 100 kit anyway for a lower price
Some how this just looks like the Sazabi on steroids to me.
I want to like the Nightingale especially since I like the HI-NU as much as I do, but the Nightingale feels like Qubeley and The O had a a hate baby together and i just cant get behind the thing
Why does this mobile suit have pants and sleeves?
To any who have built this: Can the Nightingale and Sazabi switch guns, tomahawk, beam effects or hands? Is this particular question of mine not gonna be answered?
They both use HGUC Zeon hands. Pretty sure they can.
@@mechalinkergaming7169 I also think they can, but Nightingale's trigger hand looked a bit bent but still fine. I just wish stores here finally get Nightingale
Why does zeon always have some the biggest mobile suits?
So the tinier Gundams can beat them David vs Goliath style. Some story tropes stick forever.
I paid 130 CAD thats Tax and shipping for one on the way in 12 days I don't mind paying lots the MS looks like a space Ferrari
I still cease to understand why this thing needs a shield. It already had so darn much armor that it practically is a shield itself.
Chunky chunky boi!
Is it just me or does the head look like a squirrel???
Man, imagine a real grade
Have you reviewed the ex-S yet?
Yes
@@ZakuAurelius thanks
This kit need more surface details.
My vote still goes to the RE its size and shelf presence just outclass the HG in my opinion
Size is pretty much the only thing the RE has going for it
I’ve never been interested in the Nightingale. I don’t like the look. The one thing about the kit which intrigued me are the subarms. I’m a sucker for subarms, and particularly like that they are on a track. I don’t think it’s enough to seduce me into buying it, but maybe eventually.
soo many reds, my eyes........
No way... Why these monster...
Although this looks like a nice kit, well thought out. The Nightingale is one of my least favorite. So bulky and stylised. The sinanju and sazabi are more my speed.
I don’t really understand the over-size schlong on this kit.
The downside is that I can't display this for my "non-Gundam-aware" family members' & friends 'cuz I know they'll be laughing at the size of....Once u see it, you can't unsee it.
There's a simple solution for your problem give them a COMPLETE history of gundam and gunpla then get them to build a rg crossbone 😈👹( then see them laugh 👿) I've a friend who always bemoans my hobby I threaten him with having to build a f91 😂 he shuts up fast
