The blue plate on the middle of the chest under the collar part should slide up and down without having to do anything else for the lights to turn on, I've seen it in action elsewhere.
@@o1dxr Its held up great, easily one of the best kits I own. The structure is incredibly sturdy, its one of those kits that I think could fall off a shelf and still probably be entirely intact. The only issue is the longevity of the metal stickers as some of them fell off but thats nothing some glue couldn’t fix
Maybe this isn't relevant, but in standard master grades they usually include two options (dry transfer and sticker decals).So why do you have two in mg and not in a premium and VERY expensive kit like this?
@@GaussIon building the 00 Raiser right now. If those batteries are for testing then damn the thing must light up bright because these testing batteries light it up rather well
The only battery that comes with the kit is for the beam saber. You have to supply the other button batteries for the main LED unit yourself from the start, so sadly they aren't that bright. That being said, in my apartment the main LED unit is bright enough. I haven't gotten around to trying out the beam saber yet as I'm still assembling the armor.
Man, I do love the proportions. Changes are especially noticable in the upper region with the smaller shoulders and larger head, it really breaks the status quo for modern gundam designs, almost being the complete opposite of it. Bulkier forelegs too
Such a gorgeous kit! A shame the LEDs are a little dim in the chest/head, but the beam saber light honestly turned out easy better than I expected it to! Such an interesting idea that you couldn't pull off on a smaller scale.
For older kits, I found coloring the sole protrusions with a metal bronze sharpie makes them look more epic. I also learned that you can tighten joints using superglue; you can always make adjustments by sanding down the glue after it dries.
@@specialorder9379 5 months late so you probably figured this out already, but you apply thin layers to the joint and let it dry *before* inserting it again. Also make sure you glue the bit you insert because it's easier to sand down than a hole. The dried glue increases the dimensions of the joint resulting in a tighter fit. You can also use paint, clear coat, etc or less permanent methods like placing a tissue over the joint, connecting the two, then cleaning it up with some tweezers.
Within the canon, sliding armor like you were expecting on the thighs wasn't developed until the Gundam Mk II, that's what made the Mk.II faster and more agile.
Wow, this looks amazing. This is way better than the original perfect grade. I know the original perfect grade was the first Gunpla, but I am glad they put the yellow LED lights instead of green.
I'm late to the party. I just got mine in the mail today. Found it on sale at a small family hobby shop for $226.00. Can't wait to start the build. Thanks for the video. Lots of great info! ♥️👍
Happy New Year! I was just at my local Hobbytown USA and they have two in stock for $295. I was sooo tempted but passed. I might go back for it this weekend. Hopefully they still have it. Be safe and keep doing more awesome videos!
I built the original PG in 2006 with only having 4 nogrades and 4 HGs under my belt. I took it outside of storage recently (in its box only inside a closet) and it was loose everywhere. It still looks great though and its for sure a big project.
Personally I never liked the hammer or javelin, never made much sense to me. The bazooka though I fully agree should've been included, could've been a great set piece with it.
The RG-style premolded joints always came out feeling tight upon initial assembly, they just loosened up very quickly afterwards. I'm less worried how stable it is now and more worried how stable it'll be in, say, a month or two.
I think after the RG Unicorn, the premolded frames they made no longer get loose in time, my unicorn and the kits later are still stiff as a rock. Whereas my OO Kits are just a hand grenade.
@@muisverriet If they learned from RGs, they wouldn't have used it at all. The best RGs they've made are the ones that avoid the RG frame as much as possible.
I feel like Bandai's led units have terrible qc, I have two yellow led, both official bandai products, and they are identical models, but have different shades and brightness levels ....
Thank goodness this is retail and not P-Bandai. I definitely want to purchase this kit, ever since I saw the promotional videos. Thank you for the review, really appreciate it.
Yeah I don’t think a lot of people were really asking for it. If you took a poll ahead of this announcement for “what do you want the next PG to be?” I doubt this would have been in the top ten. That said, that doesn’t mean it can’t be a great and exciting kit to build. So what’s yur point?
I wonder if for the backpack light; chrome plating the guiding clear parts would make a significant difference. Of course masking where the light enters and exits. Would be great to hear if anyone has tried this!
If Bandai makes a custom set for the kit, I would hope for it to have two bazookas, Gundam hammer, the spear thing, (I don’t even know if that weapon has a name) action base, and fully articulated fingers oh and some water slide details. Now if all that was in one box I think it might be for like around 100 bucks but I think it would be worth it.
I'll wait on a later release of PG Unleashed to grab one. This seems to parallel early RG, where Bandai is flexing a bunch of new tech and seeing what sticks. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great kit but I'm sure Bandai will improve upon it.
Nice review zaku. This thing is so awesome I dont know if it should be painted. Maybe just some waterslides when they come out and a matte topcoat. Decisions, decisions 🤔
100% i bet you there will be a gundam wing zero, unicorn, banshee, unicorn, and red comet zaku 2 designed like this in the future, o and probably a tallgeese as well
I might wait to see how the missing parts situation plays out. I though the beam rifle has too much "bling" in the wrong places. I generally like to paint the upper receiver white to match the armor color on the mobile suit itself. I wish they included articulated hands, if it comes out as optional part might buy it too. I wonder if they will make a MGEX RX72 based on this.
Can the backpack be lit up from the other beam saber as well? If so, it's rather disappointing that they only give you the one. If they're charging this much for it, you'd think they could afford to throw in an extra LED beam saber... and waterslides. (And yeah I know that's a simplified take on the economics of it and all that, but whatever, I don't care, they should include two LED beam sabers and waterslides.)
I have a tip for you on how you can improve the LEDs in this kit. the light from the LEDs are channeled through a clear part, this is called light piping. light piping basically works the same way as fiber optic cables. you have a light on one end and it goes through the clear part and the light comes out the other end. the problem with the clear parts on this kit is they aren't covered by anything to prevent the light from bleeding through the sides, as a result not much light actually reaches the end. easy way to fix this is to cover the clear parts in black tape like electrical tape or to paint the clear parts with the blackest black paint you have and leave only the spots where the light enters and exits the clear part exposed.
Excellent, clear, complete and honest review, thank you. Did you eventually went on painting it completely or not? I'm on my way to do it, already primed much of the 2d layer of the inner frame. I don't like the original red used on it, and really dislike the blue, too toyish to me. I will try to paint it with the colors it wears in Cucuruz Doan's island OVA, with a lighter blue, a deeper wine red, and give whites and greys a good, deep preshading. Already acquired 3rd party good quality true water decals too, to replace the eyesoring stickers that come with the kit, which are a shame IMO for such a beautiful model.
Happy new year mate, great review there, just wanted to say that the spinning stand you film with seems to shake quite alot and is really noticeable on other reviews also, just an observation there. Cool
Some of the metallic decals as per the instructions to be used in mid build just to find out that you actually need them out on the armor pieces. Specifically #5 (little red circle decal) and the #17 (red triangular decal which I can no longer remember where i stick it to, that’s why I just need to improvise). Nevertheless, pretty solid kit. It’s like a 1/60 RG kit 😊
Is it common to get missing parts on PGs? I've had a Unicorn miss a part, I had to get a spare one from my Banshee's excess part. Then I've had a 00 missing a full runner out of box.
Thanks for the review, it make me buy the model. I found water decals 1/60 dedicated to this kit on AliExp, I think they may be better that regular stickers. I hope you will make some video when you’ll paint it. Ciao from Italy
So glad i came an watched this i seen adam savages video an they clarly give him a specialy made kit that was of higher quailty, was thinking of pickin 1 up to give it ago im a massive gundam fan but never realized they did kits
I’m 99.9% certain Adam got the same kit I did. I may just be a bit more critical of small things cause I build these every day for years. If it was basically your first kit, like in his case, everything would seem perfect yeah. It’s a fantastic kit though, definitely!
Gosh... this inner frame looks so much like Lego to me. A very different type of inner frame on this kit plus I get a bit of a feeling of the various Master Grade Musha kits.
Im really disappointed with stickers that come on this kits,why dont you give us waterslide decal instead of sticker decal,They do not look good on the darker colour.I mean think about it,you spend 260 USD for a kits that come with Premium metalic part and led unit but not a waterslide decals?what a shame.
BROOOO i’m so hyped for this build. Lookin’ at the frame i just hope i have enough metallic paints lol. Also, are ya gonna be doin’ a PG grandad comparison? I know the OG is an old boi, but i’d think it’s still worth a look
I got the my barbatos for Xmas and I'm not gonna lie it wasn't one of my most favorite builds, in a few parts it felt like some parts never fit correctly, like the backpack never closes flushly
Great review. I hope we get more PG soon ,Bandai should ramp up their production there, Id love a PG Double Zeta, 2021 would be perfect for a PG RX 105 Xi Gundam and weve been in neew of a PG Nu Gundam for some time as surely everyone cant get the metal build.
@@ZakuAurelius thanks this will be the ultimate one to buy. love the built up! by the way, for rx-78-2 master grade, which do you prefer; version 3.0, the origin or ver ka? I'm yet to built any master grade. thanks
You know, considering how good the Exia PG LED kit was, I was expecting a LOT better from this kit, especially for the price. I wonder what happened there. Definitely just needs higher intensity LEDs for the piping available, might be trivial to fix/replace the stuff in the kit to make it work, just seems for such a touted feature, the actual end result is... pretty underwhelming. The rest of the kit seems pretty mixed bag for me. Not a huge fan of some of the hatch detailing (like 28:45 , the plastic hinges don't look really good there) but for every thing I didn't like there seems to be 2 or 3 I really dig, like the hand detailing and the photo etched parts. That just might be my preferences though. It's hard to do chrome plating custom, as you can't actually do a proper mirror chrome with paints (though you can get somewhat close).
I'll probably put a new SMD system in the backpack. It should be big enough to hold an internal battery with a switch and light up like it should. Scratch that. Fiber optic cables replacing the plastic parts would be easier.
I'm missing something as well but its not this kit it's the RG Nu. It's never happened to me before idk if I USAGS can get it replaced or if I gotta buy a new kit. Hopefully the former.

The mechanical detail on this kit is absolutely insane! Mine's arriving in march so this wait is going to be rough, really excited though.
How's your kit doing now? Is it holding up well after all these years?
@@o1dxr Its held up great, easily one of the best kits I own. The structure is incredibly sturdy, its one of those kits that I think could fall off a shelf and still probably be entirely intact.

@@fantastiCkiLler92 yeah that sucks. I recently built the mg jegan and was disappointed by the lack of dry transfers

if i recall, bandai mentioned that the batteries that come with the pgu are for testing only. Get some new batteries and test the leds again

Sometimes you just need that extra fast head tilt back to dodge a beam rifle head shot.
That really confused me too.
@@chovue2363 good point. Also need it to flip backwards in space also
i hope we get a pg zaku 2 with that kind of engineering
The LEDs were used perfectly in the PG Exia so this was definitely a step back but other than that the kit looks amazing.

Can't wait to see the inevitable GM conversion someone is gonna do, I would jump if someone did that
Its so sad that we don’t have an articulated finger on this kit. Maybe due to the chroming.
They really popped off with pistons since the barbatos its super cool to see them in this kit too
Within the canon, sliding armor like you were expecting on the thighs wasn't developed until the Gundam Mk II, that's what made the Mk.II faster and more agile.

They'll probably come out as a P-bandai expansion pack.
Personally I never liked the hammer or javelin, never made much sense to me. The bazooka though I fully agree should've been included, could've been a great set piece with it.

I'm super excited for this kit. I even got my hands on the clear set from p-bandai. Hopefully I have all the parts. How do you get a replacement part?
Some of the metallic decals as per the instructions to be used in mid build just to find out that you actually need them out on the armor pieces. Specifically #5 (little red circle decal) and the #17 (red triangular decal which I can no longer remember where i stick it to, that’s why I just need to improvise). Nevertheless, pretty solid kit.

Happy New Years!!! 🔥
18:30 try using two leds
I’ll probably wait until they do an Unleashed version of the Strike Freedom or Nu Gundam
I actually like the setup with the neutral lights a little more than the bright lights
Got the clear parts set but not the RX78 kit yet.

I think if they got rid of the core block system and dedicated more space for the LEDs and battery this might be better.
I'll probably put a new SMD system in the backpack. It should be big enough to hold an internal battery with a switch and light up like it should.
Scratch that. Fiber optic cables replacing the plastic parts would be easier.
I'm missing something as well but its not this kit it's the RG Nu. It's never happened to me before idk if I USAGS can get it replaced or if I gotta buy a new kit. Hopefully the former.
