while these are confusing from a current gundam fan perspective let me offer another: I have a friend who doesn't watch anime, doesn't really delve heavily into model kits, but LOVES painting and customizing miniatures. He's already bought one of these and is looking to get the full set. So I think if we're confused about the purpose that just means we might not be the target audience.
It does make sense these would be really appealing to people familiar with painting miniatures. With these shipping out in the states now, I've seen a lot of English-speaking fans do amazing paint jobs with these
I like your perspective on this.
DND gundam lol
These would be awesome for tabletop gaming. Maybe bandai should make one 🤔
That sounds awesome... And painful at the same time
Was thinking of using em for Gamma Wolves.
Ikr, thinking of getting some bases to put them on
Im gonna use them for battletech!
Trust they're too fragile :/ maybe the second and third series are better but these series ones fall apart when you paint them
Super late comment!
Finally got my preorder of these in, got two built so far and agree with EVERYTHING you said here. So glad I didn't get the 'special' color. Really enjoy painting these, and can't wait to try out some awesome colors for concepts of the larger scales.
I've been seeing a lot of people posting these online too like on Twitter so I bet Bandai finally got more of these sent out beyond Japan. These little guys are way tougher to build than they seem:)
the warhammer painter gonna shock to death seeing a 3$ price tag on those quality
I ended up with the Hi-Nu clear red variant and felt like I had been cheated. I expected to get the tan version, not knowing that the red was rare. I'm glad mine went together well, if tedious, because it was my first gunpla. I did a HG model next and really enjoyed it
Having these as your first kit is quite a trial by fire. Glad you made it through okay since these can be a pain in the butt to put together. The HG wouldn't have been a challenge after this
These are now one of my favorite products bandai makes. I cant wait to paint them.
*Laughs in Warhammer*
good video defiantly convinced me to get and paint one
A branch of skill I really wish I had. The strawberry jello flavored ones still mock me from my display
Who's the credited artist for these redesigns?
I really really love the Nightingale one, the more compact backpack, and the raptorial legs making it look more menacing, almost wish the HG kit had that style.
Exactly what I was thinking! These caught my eye in particular because the Nightingale isn't the weird, elongated, stretchy mess it usually is, but rather a fiercer, almost virus-looking Sazabi, which is what I always wished it was!
Quick note: these mini gundams scale good with neca godzilla action figures
Edit: i found out using glue or plastic cement helps certain parts of the mini gundam become more stable
I'd actually go further and say it's best to glue all of these together in the final assembly, or else the rattling and the bits falling off will drive you crazy
These actually look really cool. I'm planning on just gluing mine, putting some grey primer, panel lining, and possibly coating it (don't want too many layers). They'll just stay on my desk all uniform in grey
Even though they technically don't need glue, in practice they really need it a lot. The grey would really bring out the small details when light hits it, so it should look wonderful
Awesome review btw!
Thank you very much!
hopefully being sold out means they will give us new set, maybe even bigger MS
From the crazy high demand, I do think they'll continue the series. I kinda want marine MSes like a Z'Gok or Hygogg.
@@HobbyClubhouse the chonkier, the better!
the red ones are so cool idk why you'd want the yellow over the red
Super nice review. Seems nice addition to my Wargaming armies ! 😁👍
They really do feel a lot like tabletop game pieces. I REALLY wouldn't look forward to having to assemble a lot of them though:')
*completes multiple of these kits without any other tools other than nippers* well, would you look at that*
ITS NOT FLESHY ITS GOLD
i love it...your comments near the end...dude i'm cracking up...manchild toy hog..
I wonder if these are small enough for miniature warfare board gaming?
Hmm. If this were only made into a larger scaled offering. The GK look is charming, and I'm now tempted to do some hunting now.
The videos of people painting these up are always super impressive and the finished kit looks great. You can also consider pre-ordering the next set -- they have V2 Assault Buster!
I wanna get the nightingale also you said resin is yellow but that’s not true not all resin is yellow
…i had no problem assembling these. To each their own at the end of the day, but all i used was my godhand, a file and a little glue. I’m pretty happy with these little things
What's the best model to buy? I dont follow Gundam nymore but nightingale looks great.
If you mean from this line specifically, then the Rick Dias or Hi Nu Gundam are the least janky. If it's models in general, then the the HG Nu Gundam comes out of the box really beautiful with a lot of stuff, even if the kit came out a while ago
@@HobbyClubhouse yea i meant this line. thanks for the tip i was looking at less janky
Lol i skipped over these cuz i though all the ones at my shop were the hi nu cuz the art now i feel dumb for not looking at the label
Is the red variant just a rare unboxing or do they have a special box marked for it?
There's no indication on the box so it's all up to luck unfortunately
@@HobbyClubhouse that stinks, i just looked up what people are selling the red set for and its over 1000 USD on ebay. :(
Bandai did release resin kits its called b club
Yeah I realized that too... After I posted the video :')
It could be fun to see you rip into the nostalgia-pandering dime a dozen candy toy products.
Here I was thinking I got lucky with the clear version.
Bandai's heart was in a good place, but it turned out looking really tasty
Wonder if I can use these as tau proxy
What's a tau proxy?
@@HobbyClubhouse a tau is a fictionak race in warhammer 40 k that uses mech suits. A proxy is when you replace the model with somthing not official
Ah, I get it now. I'm not well versed in Warhammer naming. They really do take that sort of miniature painting skill to do up well... I can paint, but I can't paint miniatures like the nutty Warhammer 40K stuff which is always so impressive
i thought the color is supposed to be like old statue
Which is pretty good proof that the color is confusing to lots of people
I got the Hi-Nu and Nightingale, both regular versions, but wouldn't have minded the Nightingale in the clear red.
I do think if one of them must be red, at least the Nightingale fits. The Rick Dias too I suppose
tabletop gundam ?
Their size are pretty good for desktop displays indeed
tfw you got the red ones making it harder to paint :(
I feel you all the way man. I tried priming one and light kept going through...
@@HobbyClubhouse Just as I read this I was priming my nightengale :) I'm thinking I will switch to enamel
i think the piece of gum has to to with taxes, is cheaper to sell "candy" than to sell toys
meh they are selling by the dozen in hobby lobby store :D
As a miniature painter and miniature builder half the complaints seem laughable. Glue it up, prime it, and get to painting. Then base it. I feel from your review this product isn't meant for you.
My dumbass through these were edible
They really do look like food. Gives the term "candy toy" a whole new meaning
@@HobbyClubhouse ikr
These are miniatures like many others before them you complainer. Do your research instead of wanting something with articulation.
