    Don't be sorry for having an Exia bias. Everyone is entitled to have a favorite mobile suit. TV Wing Zero is still my favorite Gundam.

      Wow, TV Wing? Not Zero or Angel Wing EW? Not very often I hear that!

    This is probably one of the most comprehensive and best reviews I've seen. I appreciate how you clearly took time to think about what you were going to say before you said it. I've seen too many reviews that go like this "Um, its like. really cool and stuff". Well done, sir.

    Exia is one of my favorite Gundams. I like it more than its upgraded versions.

    I got the RG Exia yesterday and built it in about 7 hours. Haven't had an opportunity to put the decals on yet, but love the figure. And despite the limited leg movement, I don't have a problem with the pose-ability.

      My first RG, the Raiser, took 18 hours total. 10 hours to build, 2 hours to panel wash, 6 hours for the entire sticker sheet (I feel like waterslide decals would have been easier but definitely would have taken longer). The Raiser is one of the most heavily loaded RG kits though so there's also that :]

    Just wanted to compliment your posing. The Exia is my favorite Gundam as well, so it is awesome to see it in so many AMAZING poses! This isn't limited to your Exia review, of course. You pose them all really well.

  • @killer13324
    @killer13324 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    exia's my favorite too, don't feel bad. In fact my first gunpla model is actually going to be the Exia repair II, a high grade model, and i intend to get the real grade exia later this year.

  • @Blur4strike
    @Blur4strike 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Picked up this kit during a convention and man this is the most complex build that I've worked on yet. Aside from a few decals that I know I could work easily it is still incomplete in that regard. I was hesitant in getting the RG version of Exia but after building six other HG kits I decided to take the plunge.

  • @Isdoom_

    When I was shopping for Gundams, I came across the Star build strike and the Wing gundam Fenice Rinascita and by the corner of my eye, I saw the Rg Exia and beside it was the Rg Wing gundam zero EW.My aunt told me to take the wing gundam as she liked the Angel wings and I've already built the HG Exia and the HG Avalenche Exia, so she thought that same model would be boring but I didnt know it came with CHROME blades!!! I really want to see my Exia holding those shiny weapons, I'll polish them litterally everyday

  • @IsaruSoulance
    @IsaruSoulance 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just built my Real Grade Exia, and prior to this build the Dynames has been my favorite mobile suit. However this has made me truly appreciate the Exia's design. The only issue I have come across is the right shoulder plate popping off due to the plastic inserts, and a bit of my own rough behavior, and the right vent plate becoming loose during posing. All and all I thing it is one of the most sturdy builds i have put together.

    Hey love your reviews ;)
    Question: How do you compare this EXIA kit to the other grades? I got MG standing in my desk and HG bsck home but I've been meaning to complete the other grades. Yet MG and RG seem a little bit too similar to get them both.
    would you recommend getting it?
    thanks.
    PS: I share the bias ;)

  • @DanteSolablood
    @DanteSolablood 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lol, you can tell you poured extra time into this kit.. even the panel lining is so much neater than some of your HGBF kits. It's a really great job! Just wondering, Gundam Battles are all 1/144 (series name originally had 1/144 in the title)... pretty sure you'd clean up if you took a real grade to the battle field. :'3

    • @TYPEV3
      @TYPEV3  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, I've probably put the least amount of time into this one. I just think the Exia's design lends itself well to panel lining and RGs pretty much offer the best color separation at this scale so I didn't have to try and employ my childish painting skills here. :D

    • @DanteSolablood
      @DanteSolablood 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Lol, well my compliments to Bandai then! *=whistles and walks towards the exit=* Nah, just joking, I love your work (and your editing), and whether you're willing to believe me or not... you're painting is fine too. I'm fascinated that you say the RG was easier to get looking good though, is this specific to RGs? Because I've personally only ever built one kit (technically 2 if you count the non-grade 1/60 non-grade Toys R Us Wing One), the Astray Blue Frame & I was too daunted to even consider panel lining that...

    • @TYPEV3
      @TYPEV3  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, anything RG and up doesn't really require much effort to get looking good. There's just more parts and overall detail put into the model kit. Of course, RGs do cost about a third more than HGs so I guess it isn't too surprising?

    I'm wondering though, you said this is your first rock-solid RG kit, did you have trouble with the GP-01s and RX-178? Those kits were really solid. Nothing felt flimsy about them.

    • @TYPEV3

I am really excited because when I was much younger I remember my cousin having a ton of Gundam figures hanging in his room and they looked so dam cool. Anyways, I want to know what HG and RG is. my HG figure parts don't have as much detail as this RG figure.. is it a difference in detail? If so, I would rather buy RG's if they have more detail. Also, I thought my kit didn't come complete with all the stickers because the beam sword wasn't pink and the instructions showed there were supposed to be stickers where some parts were but I saw no sticker proportiionate to the part.. but after a couple TH-cam videos I found out that not all gundam figures come complete with colors and stickers, which was kind of disappointing coming from a first time builder looking to really collect these awesome looking figures. I bought my first kit with expectations of everything was ready and colored, all I needed to do was pop the parts out and put it together. But upon watching gundam reviews on TH-cam there are people who use sand sticks and paint their figures. I really like these figures, and I think I will continue to build and collect a couple more but I am a little disappointed my first kit the beam sword was not colored and not all parts came with the stickers showed on the instructions. I don't know if I'm going to buy sand sticks and paint and scalps for gundam kits, but hell I'm not going to lie and say that just building these figures make me feel good because it takes time and technique and patience to build a good result. I will be humbled to know I have finished building my gundam figure. I think of it like nurturing a child lol. You raise them up until they're big and see the results of your building. it's very rewarding

      It's Me, Steve HG = High Grade, easy build less details and color separation while RG = more details, more parts

    Would it be an issue if i opted out of using the powerlines under the shoulders? Ive heard that certain exia models' articulation are actually hindered by the plastic power lines that run from under the shoulder plates to the arm.

    How did you get your hip storage thing to work at all...I built two of this RG(first one's right arm to shoulder joint somehow snapped), but the hip storage on both of them would not move an inch...

    I'd have to say that the RG 00 RAISER is far more stable, even with the 0 Raiser and binders connected.

    Hey bro, its a nice review. Just got mine exia built, and wonder if u know any best panel line tutorial for me, because i saw there are some lines on your kit that i thought should be lined, but they're not. So i want to learn well before panel lining my kit :P

    Yo, V3, can I get the name of the bowtie gundam you used for comparison? I think it'd look great next to Super Fumina.

    Very awesome review, as per usual. Have you tried the RG gundam mk II, though? I cant say for sure, cuz I'm still waiting for my Exia to arrive, but I'd say it's at least as solid as this one. Only real issue are the backthrusters, that tend to fall off easily. So far (opinion on Exia pending ^^) mk II is my top RG in the line...

    • @TYPEV3
      @TYPEV3  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup and the Exia is slightly better overall compared to the MKII.

    RG exia is the only RG gunpla that i bought without a second thought, but the leg limited forward range is really a big issue for this design. i wonder MG or HG has the same issue?

    • @TYPEV3
      @TYPEV3  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      They don't. Well, at least not as severe as it is on the RG.

      +Skypup i just finished my first rg model, the 00 raiser. the upgraded version of exia and i say it was a bit frustrating esp. with the small parts but it seems exia's a little simple compared to 00 raiser. if its ur first time to build a gunpla, i would personally recommend to test the hg lines first but if ur heart wanna go with rg then i would say get all the patience u can get. if get tired, rest. dont rush it:)

    • @lemonade1563
      @lemonade1563 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Skypup I started off from master grade then to rg and then to hg. Personally it doesn't really matter if where you start if your interested in the hobby but the Exia has some pretty small parts and the foil stickers for the legs and arms will slowly rub off by sweat so just be careful. Also get some fine sand paper to just to sand off the nub marks.

    • @CecilValeProductions
      @CecilValeProductions 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tim Li no, starting at hg is better as it's 5in figure sized and mg are taller, olus they have much more small bits, plus an inner frame.

    • @lemonade1563
      @lemonade1563 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its the persons choice on where to start the hobby usually starting at hg is the best way but you can start anywhere. Its just how interested you are in the process of building it and having the experience.

    @tumager 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice review, I enjoyed it. I know want so badly this kit. I was considering ignoring this model just because there was already a Mastergrade version of it, but the RG looks as good as the MG and is cheaper!

    • @TYPEV3
      @TYPEV3  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      tumacher But the MG has the LED....

    • @tumager
      @tumager 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** yea, but it is not so motivating for me. I already have MG Qan[t] and MG 00 Raiser with full leds and for me it is not so impressive having the leds on. I can survive with the leds always off, plus the led units tend to fail and require repairs, and keep buying batteries is not cheap (worst in the case of the 00 Raiser who has 5!!!)
