Thanks for watching!
Re-uploaded to fix an editing mistake!
Great review my dude
@Zaku what was the mistake?
@@jaketheberge1970 at the end when he was showing off the problem with the shoulder lol
@Churro Art it was just showing the kit still, instead of the manual.
Hi Zaku... I believe the fragile part is the pink pegs on th picture on the right that connects the shoulder to the chest frame..
In case anyone is still curious, pulling the front of the skirt (as shown on 9:09) allows you to rotate the torso.
thanks so much i was wondering why it did that lol
They nailed the armor separation. I love this because you could do a straight build and it looks great. The funnels blew my mind!
Thank you for pointing out the shoulder joint problem. Just got mine few hours ago. And I really need to see through that before building. You are great.
Hello
Everyone who has bought or is planning to get the sazabi
You do not need to worry about the shoulder joints, it’s is very stable
please give us a rg kshatriya this proves that Bandai can do it !!
The weight of the binders is the problem. And that’s not a lead MS or lead enemy MS, so not very likely
Remember Bandai show Kshatriya silhouette on RE lines, well don't cross fingers
It wasn't a RE line exclusive but more as a guideline of what they might do in the future. Some of the things came as MGs, some as RE.
@@ZakuAurelius they could use a screw together frame for the binders. I wouldn't mind paying for it. Kshatrya is my favorite
@@ZakuAurelius but the RG Z'Gok and Johnny Ridden Zaku exist so I'm a bit doubtful
Every time an RG comes out it's the best RG ever made... This line does not disappoint at all :P
He is still replying too comments after a year
Yes?
@@ZakuAurelius I wasn't asking lol I just worded it badly, good videos though
Beautiful kit. Just purchased it, didn't regret it. Looks great out of the box if detailing and/or painting isn't your thing. Can't go wrong with this one.
This kit has really caught my eye. Your video has made me want one. Thank you, great video
I've finished this kit a long time ago, but I didn't know that the chest can move until I watched this. Thank you!
Next RG is gonna be the nu gundam, I'm sure of it.
Nope it's FA unicorn they showed off.
There's no way the FA Unicorn is a regular release. That's P-Bandai for sure.
Simple Answer they made this, they will make the fa unicorn
There will be an RG Nu Gundam soon.
Bruno Soares Wow. That almost made some sort of sense.
So, they WILL make the kit that I said would be P-Bandai? That's amazing. It's almost like they'd have to make it for it to be P-Bandai, so you added nothing. Congrats.
Building the kit myself,i first build the entire frame and now armoring it, building this way is an amazing experience
Awesome review and awesome channel! Love the in depth reviews! Can't wait to pick up my own Sazabi!
Thanks!
Picked up one myself, it was a pretty fun build. Built it after the RG Nu Gundam. Both are good kits
Never been a fan of red mobile suits but this looks perfect. I need this for my RG collection. I wish the sinanju had this type of construction of the inner frame....it would've been perfect.
You won't regret it, RG Sazabi is stunning
Woah! Totally missed the wrist pop out gimmick when I built this thing. Can’t believe that was there the whole time!
This is my first RG kit that I’ve built and I have to say it is worth every cent. It’s now my favorite kit of all time and it took a lot of patience (3 days), but it was rewarding seeing it complete.
He's my 3rd Gunpla, and second RG, he looks so awesome towering over RG RX-78-2 Gundam, my RG Nu Gundam can't get here soon enough to give him some backup XD
Wow this kit looks dope. I was super skeptical with how stiff the Sinanju was and with this being the bulkier MS, but I can say that I'm very impressed! I don't usually get RGs but I think I'll have to get this one for kicks (literally)!
Love the soft background music
Finally got mine and good God this thing is epic it like a scaled down. MG and the same size as a smaller mg
I finally picked up this beast. Looking forward to building it.
Becareful when building it
If you plan to disassemble it, sand off the joints for easy removal
Giod review. I bought the DL water slides from ebay. I'm only using the foils and Neo Zeon emblem from the sticker sheet. This is a great build so far and I've only just started the right leg. The detail is mind blowing.
Kinda tempted to get this thing to replace my HGUC on the shelf... normally wouldn't do that but my HGUC has really wonky ball jointed hips that barely hold on, and I can't find a substitute Polycap to use in there instead.
A shame about the shoulder issue. I had my RG Unicorn "butterfly joint" shoulder part break. Superglue fixed it for now, but still a shame. Great review man!
15:20 You can actually push the tomhawk handle in the connector and it will sit plush
I found pushing the shoulders on from the peg rather than clip it down saves the piece from stress as i tried and it felty like it was gonna stretch too much.. but wow this kit is amazing
Finally got mine as an auto gift for my birthday this month, and i'm so excited. It looks beautiful.
The aides of the back pack open up as well, like the back skirt. The crotch tilts forward to allow better waist rotation, also the waist itself can rock left to right.
Wow, I finally built this thing. I feel absolute catharsis. It is so rad.
Awesome! Waiting on my preorder.
Gonna buy this very soon. Can't wait.
Does it come with posable tubes to hold the funnels or is that a separate purchase?
What stand do you recommend? I tried using the action base 1 and none of the adapters fit.
Best review. Thanks for NZ.
Preordered mine a while back idk when they will be in stock
when the RG unicorn came out it was dubbed the best RG, this now took that throne, I hope this pattern continues
I don't actually think this is "better" than Unicorn, its just the new hotness. They are both nearly perfect models.
unicorn, sazabi, and nu is the big three of RG now
I KNEW IT! I totally called that this is one of the best gunpla kits ever made in ANY scale. Its freaking fantastic! maybe I should start a gunpla channel.
edit: yeah I'm totally waiting for a waterslide set. I can't believe real grades still come with stickers yuk! I used the stickers on my RG Unicorn, and then removed them 3 months later.
What about the PG Exia?
Considering the PG Exia is a $300 kit, you could buy the Sazabi 6 times over, I would say the Sazabi is a better kit for the money. I don't actually have one because I don't collect 1/60 scale, its HUGE. The fact they made an amazing kit at 1/60 is a lot less impressive to me than an equally amazing kit at 1/144 due to the technical engineering that had to go into this. And completely subjectively, I think the Sazabi is way cooler than the Exia.
Just finished applying stickers to my RG Raiser because I can't top coat right now to protect the waterslides. The stickers look decent imo, I might top coat over the stickers when I get a chance.
@@HeadCannonPrime once you buy a pg you won't regret it
I just ordered the rg nu along the sazabi, super excited for it 😊
Perfect timing for #charmonth
Same here, my Sazabi arrived first and is intimidating my poor little RG RX-78-2 Gundam, hopefully RG Nu Gundam will get here soon to give him backup XD
This is perfection
This built felt more like i was building a MG than a RG. My only complaint is the pink color they used. I think they couldve used a darker red rather than pink. Im thinking of painting this one shade of red.
Will the left shoulder joint still be fragile even after finished building?
I can't wait for this kit. Sazabi is my all time favorite mobile suit and the MG ver ka always seemed intimidating.
Deff gonna be getting this one
Did you apply any paint to the model as shown at the beginning of the video, or is that the look of the kit as it comes in the box?
That’s straight out the box!
A good topic is everything
Picked this kit up yesterday at a local anime store as B-Day gift for my self only got the feet done so far.
An rg The-O would be cool. I would cop it fast, together with Qubeley
Marco Fortin I'd go crazy for a rg release of the-o
Pretty sure there'll be a p-bandai funnel effect parts coming eventually!
That background music is so haunting somehow..
Can the shield be attached to the other arm? Also, how are nub marks? Are the pieces under-gated?
Yes it can. And much of the armor is undergated
Think my only complaint about the kit is it doesn't have the long rifle. I'm a sucker for long rifles on Gunpla so that would have sold me on getting it. Maybe later down the line when there's waterslides available. Thanks for the reviews you do dude!
Anyone else’s beam saber effect parts also loosened up to the point where they just fall out of the sabers?
Or was that just because I kept switching them out? Either way I tightened them up :))
based on this review, i feel like the shoulder joint is a bit hard to move. any suggestions to make it a lot smoother? will sanding the peg be an option?
Just move it slowly and carefully. As it is, it’s tight, yes. But that’s better than being too lose and unable to support weight
@@ZakuAurelius got it! Thanks zaku! Love from the Philippines! lol
Just bought one now to add to the backlog with RG Nu :)
RG Nu When?
I’d prolly add a rack of fake funnels for stability purposes though.
"Fake funnels" funny though there is a version called DFF Nu gundam which you guess the name is doubles the amount number of fin funnels that nu gundam has. It fits it like the left execpt on the right and is like a mirror to the original left.
Yo, are you coming from the future?
excellent show piece right here. as like the ver KA of this kit don't be surprise all he many custom paint jobs your going to see in the next 6 months!
I mentioned this in someone else's video: the lack of clear effect parts that showcases funnel launch is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Because MS like Qubeley, Sazabi, Nightingale and such, cannot be posed well due to their bulk. Without effect parts to showcase funnels, there's just no way to demonstrate their strength and magnificence. The HG 1/44 Destiny Gundam is a perfect example of this: it's got so many effect parts there's virtually nothing you cannot do with the kit.
Perfection!
that crotch part that hinges forward is for increased ab-crunch but to utilize it you have to modify a piece on the back of the inner frame crotch area in Mecha Gaikotsu review he modifies the part
Fantastic music here dude! I hadn't noticed it before (as we're not supposed to) but this was awesome!
Are you thinkin about it? Debating buying it? JUST GET IT! A JOY TO BUILD, and GLORIOUS OOB!
Just built mine a couple days ago, Sazabi is just stunning to look at and pose, can't wait for my RG Nu Gundam to get here and join him!
What is OOB?
@@Gunplabro out of the box. no added painting
Now we just need the jegan, regz, geara and jagd doga and that zeong looking thing, and then we'll have all the cca ms in rg form
Then bandai needs to make them in mg form.
Which action base is compatible with this?
Thanks for bringing up the shoulder joint ordeal.💯
I will most likely get this soon
Only thing this kit is missing, is a left trigger finger hand. Its the biggest (possibly only advantage of articulated hands), no need to worry that a kit won't include hand options for your desired posing.
YO, RG Full Armor Gundam Unicorn (Green Frame) is coming!!
Fuck the unicorn all I want is a rg nu gundam
Tahir 07 where did you hear that?
@@jaketheberge1970 Gunpla News on Internet and on Instagram
Kinda glad I held of the the normal rg. To bad this will probably be around 60 dollars.
@@jaketheberge1970 yeah me too, I have the regular RG Unicorn
I'm planning to get this but i heard from several source and my friends saying that his shoulder joint is actually defect/bad? is this true ?
Did you watch the video?
@@ZakuAurelius yea. I thought you wouldn't cover that part so yeah XD
what color should i use to panel line this?
brown or grey or black?
Brown on red usually looks better
Is 12 dollars a reasonable price for a zaku i origin kit?
Definitely
Yea. Most HG should cost that much.
Does the mono eye move?
Got hguc sinanju and the sinanju stein (Narrative version), and hoping for an rg sinanju stein (NT and Unicorn versions included like the MG would be nice)... if this and the rg Tallgeese, and rg Nu Gundam are how Bandai approach the RG line, I am hopeful!
I cannot even express how much I recommend the rg Sazabi, just wow! Fun from opening the box to posing for the shelf! Rg Tallgeese is a tie for best kit ever
Thank god the shoulder issue people have been talking about is just a matter of building it correctly and taking your time and not due to the part just breaking cause its just plain fragile
The background music is the main menu theme from pummel party
What's the music in the background? It's so soothing
Let say price and space is not an issue. Should I go with the MG ver.ka?
The rg is the size of a small Master grade, however the the mg is the size of a small perfect grade, but I would definitely recommend the mg. But if it is size that you want then mg , but rg make really fun desk toys, but if you want a long build mg, I do a lot of research on a kit before I buy it ,so do research it helps more than you would think
If money's not a problem then go for the ver.ka
Ver.Ka is a lot more kit to build. But if you want the kit in anything more than a simple pose then get the RG
the mg also has that incredible long rifle that the rg does not have. and it probably twice the amount of opening gimmicks
MG is an impressive thing to look at. Just that. It just looks amazing. It doesn't have to be too dynamic, it doesn't have to be in a flying pose, or jumping or crouching or whatever, just standing there looks the best to me. scontent.fbeg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/22813978_1465823363531804_3280469411694943968_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=4088af040ea79650893a962119789d67&oe=5BFBE0A2 This is more than enough for me and how it's posed on my shelf. It's a powerful pose.
I want one now
RG Sazabi, now with movable gooch!
I’m only into MG but I’ve been looking at RG. My whole collection is mg or bigger so it’s hard to want to display these little guys
Awesome
Going for this kit someday... Someday😂
nu is definitely incoming!
I think i'm going to get the mg because i like 1/100 scale. Just think it looks better.
I wish Bandai would make an RG grade for EX-S Gundam
Best gunpla of 2018
You know what, I never was a big fan of sazabi at all until Katoki Hajime came out with his gorgeous redesign of the MG Ver.ka and it blew my mind when I saw the prototype images. Then I look back the HGUC ver I realized that the HGUC ver was also designed by him....I got the MG Ver.ka and I did appreciate the design a lot more. This RG is fantastic in any way and one thing that I like is bandai didn't scale down the Ver.Ka design into 1/144, instead they completely redesign the whole kit which is great. I don't want my RG sazabi looks like a scale down MG Ver.Ka~ Definitely a must buy kit!
All this perfection and I bet one person won't be able to like this just because....
I have issue on on the right wrist and the feet is so loose both of the feet is so loose, barely stand still
I think all of mine is so loose, straight from the runner, but some of them is tight
Rg sinaju vs sazabi? Which kit wins ?
how is this kit compared to modern Real Grades?
wow i didn't realize sazabi was so big xD guess its been a long time since i saw it in the anime
Have my RG Sazabi standing beside the RG RX-78-2, it makes poor granddaddy gundam look do tiny XD
This RG has step up to a new level. I still would prefer to have a RG Barbatos and Nu
I want a RG barbatos
Should there be space between the shoulder and the body?
Not much no
Ohhhhh....then I probably did something wrong
First rg ever built!
What's the difference between the mg and the rg sazabi
Ver.ka is bigger, the armour on the ver.ka has orange + red colour and some dark red, the details on the armour is different
Can anyone tell me what action base i need to be able pose this up?
Just use regular action base.
action base 2.0
Awsome
also id have preferred the hand guards to have been the same black or red as having complete grey hands throws me off i will be painting those red.. yeah you could argue the hards are part of the inner frame but still its external armour on the hands so would be made sense having them coloured. but there is a argument either way i guess.
i know this is kinda old......i have just bought my own RG sazabi, what are the cautions i need to build this kit? please give me details if anyone can reply, this my 8th Real Grade and my 25 kit yo build i usually build MGs and i have no problems with those, many people say the shoulder joints will break? hows that???
Basically you just have to read the manuals carefully, especially the shoulder peg construction as zaku mentioned. It is a bit tight also in the articulation so play with it gently. The rest is pure joy.
@@andreassetiawan7773 well i just finished building the kit....and i did it! its quite easy and at the same time challenging build, i found a funny way to solve the shoulder joint peg problem, since my hands where wet at the time i hold the parts too much so it added a little bit of friction so easy to snap and twist it without the fear of breaking, just as the manual states but the i have trouble moving tje kit a little but ill think if something.
The sides of the backpack move out too.
