HGUC 1/144 Nightingale Review - Hobby Clubhouse | Beltorchika's Children Gundam Gunpla

- The HGUC Nightingale is the penumbra of all the flaws of the RE/100 kit and is specifically made by Bandai to be the Nightingale you want! Monstrously proportioned and still properly handsome, you’d never think something so big and complex can come as a kit so consumer-friendly.
That’s not to say they ironed out all the kinks, and there certainly are a few odd ones, so come find out how it stacks up overall, and why something so big, so expensive, and a design so niche can also be such an easy recommendation for any model fan, experienced or new!

You are killing it with these reviews. You clearly are putting a lot of effort into them and it shows. Some of the best reviews I have seen. The video work is excellent too! Nothing to complain about here at all. Thanks for putting these out for us.
Thank you for the awesome encouragement! Shooting and putting the stuff together does take way longer than it seems :') But I do care deeply about content that respects viewers and I really do love models and talking about them so I'll definitely keep making more videos!
The Psycho Doga came out as a P Bandai, good prediction!
One of the best Gunpla reviewers. That back skirt looks hilarious on the runner also, it’s gigantic! 🤣
I second this! thanks for providing us with quality content, mate! Cheers! I wish more people will come to appreciate this channel in the future.
Thank you so much. It really is encouraging to have more people find value in this form of video that I believe strongly in:) And yes, I played around with that runner for quite a bit even off camera
You're very welcome! The reply below is for you too:)
Dick thrusters one of the funniest lines I ever heard from anyone
Well, regarding the Psycho Doga...
Your video give thorough information I don't see the other channels have. Please keep uploading high quality video like this!
Fantastic review! Thorough and entertaining, without relying on flashing imagery or shouting.
It was definitely worth the wait.
having watch youtube gundam review for years . you are one of the top youtuber for gundam review. keep up the good work!
Working hard in each video:) It's always encouraging to see that people enjoy this format of review that I believe so strongly in!
I'm really happy that bandai has been pumping out bigger kits! From Hathaway's Flash, back to Zeta with the Baund Doc, to Gundam Sentinel with the MKV. Now we get this thing and it's frankly great! A tiny part of me is hoping we get the Psycho Gundam MK-II or the Big Zam at 1/144 scale.
Even though that might be asking too much -_-
The Psycho Gundam Mk-II is really far past due. And no, it's not asking too much. They dare make a Big Zam, I'll be first in line to get one:)
@@HobbyClubhouse
Frankly I'd be excited for the Psycho Gundam MK-II to continue filling up Zeta and ZZ stuff. Frankly more ZZ stuff like the Geymalk, the Hamma Hamma, and the very odd Jamru Fin! Even though it's on the small side.
However, I'd also be extremely satisfied with the Big Zam seeing as it's the BIG ZAM.
@@HobbyClubhouse
Ayo, 2 years later and we're getting the Gundam MK-II. Hope to see you review it again! Miss ya man. Lol
It's incredible how many gimmicks and color separated parts they shoved into this beast. Awesome review man, I loved all of the comparison shots! Really gets across the sense of scale!
Thank you as always! I planned the F91 and Jamesgun shot on paper but was still taken aback just how tiny they were next to the Nightingale:)
Seriously this kit is amazing, looks like the cockpit gimmick that the RG Wing should have was donated to this Nightingale.
I really love the overall quality that you bring on your reviews, keep up the good works!
Thank you a ton as always:)
Imagining the hatch-donation situation, i wonder which I'd like more to have that if there can be only one...
man this review is something else, im sad that this channel dont upload anymore, i just found it now T_T, by far the best gunpla review channel i've found
Yes! I've been waiting for this 😁
Been super looking forward to getting this review out too!
If youre looking for a technical and well detailed review. This is the guy you are looking for. You deserve all the likes and subs. More power buddy
A good example of a really well made review.
Outstanding, really well done!
A belated big thank you! Very glad you enjoyed the review:)
Thank you for the detailed review!
That was a good reference 😃
You're very welcome! Glad you found it useful:)
This model kit is so freaking large! 😂
I love it that it's 1/144 scale.
Excellent review as always, extremely informative, thank you so much!
Great and informative video. I notice that the beam effect parts for the RG Sazabi's has the exact same problem as the HG Nightingale, they where designed for the Sinanju.
Oh, I had no idea the RG Sazabi uses them too. Bandai's really getting all the mileage they can out of that mold...
@@HobbyClubhouse Sorry for the confusion, Bandai uses the RG Sinanju's beam effects for the RG Sazabi.
I wonder now if the MG Sazabie uses the MG Sinanju's effect parts. 🤔
the hg ive been most excited for this year !
The crazy thing is well worth the hype
1:22 i’m from the future and they’ve released psycho doga as a p bandai release.
So stoked I've got this coming next week.
Excellent review! Love it!
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you ,amazing review:) so cool model.
You're very welcome! Hope you can get one too now that there's more of this kit
It's really a shame to see such a popular suit like the psycho doga be limited to the gundam base.
Great video! As a 1/100 scale builder this kit makes me very jealous, makes my RE/100 Nightingale look quite crappy in comparison 😭
Thank you so much!
Sadly the design quirks of the RE/100 kit can be quite hard to ignore once you notice them. It's kind of a rare kit though and isn't reprinted often so the big guy's a nice collector's item still:)
well, the HG Psycho Doga was announced but the monkey paw is in effect
What I've just realized from this video
>Di*k thruster
>The RE one is standing straight
Looks like the Psycho Doga is happening, but it's P Bandai for now.
Man i wish i had the money for this it looks awesome
you know what. with them doing som Beltorchika's Children disigns. i hope thay go back and do the first versions from high streamer. atleast nu and sazabi. thos are so out there and i love them.
Bandai has a strange love-hate relationship with the novel and its designs. They really want to pretend it doesn't exist, but the Nightingale and Hi-Nu are too crazy popular
HG is Bandai spiting the Re100 version. Great Review
They really weren't shy about capitalizing on every mistake from the RE/100 kit. Glad you enjoyed the review!
ah lobster looking god of a disign. a personal fav.
The red on it really is quite close to an actual lobster
Ok......you know what? I still like the RE/100 a lot proportionaly but I definitely agree those thrusters look way too tiny and those binders arent in the best of positions. Id never seen art of the nightingale before, only the Re/100 kit and on its own merits it still looks pretty awesome imo but the hguc definitely looks more accurate.
I also didnt like this hguc in pictures.....but seeing it here being manipulated etc really changed my mind, this really seems like an all round awesome kit. I wasnt bothered by the lack of gimmicks on the Re/100 but yeah its undeniable that its better with em :P
You didnt completely dissuade me from liking the old RE/100 though haha. I still like it with all of its sins even if have to admit this one is better :)
Really surprised by how close the penelope comes in size btw, did not realize it and the nightingale were similarly sized.
Thanks for the great informative review as usual :)
This proves you're truly a fan of the RE/100 kit and not simply swept up by it simply being a model of the Nightingale:) I think it was also largely seamless, which is really crazy when it's so much bigger. And it's actually only a few hundred yen more than this kit so they really had to fit a lot into a tight budget
Glad you enjoyed the review, as usual:)
@@HobbyClubhouse appreciate the reaction^^
Yeah, I just love modelkits in general haha, dont *really* care what media they are from etc most of the times :).....I mean, im interested in where they come from, the lore, history etc, sure. And I can be curious if the modelkit looks like whatever it looked like in its original media too. But its not really part of the purchasing decision to me. I just as hapily buy kits from stuff I have no interest in if the kit is awesome, like hmm zoids. Or hexagear which are straight up original designs by kotobukiya. Or old "bad" kits to put next to new kits to marvel at the advancements the people in the injection molding industry have made.
Nice review!
Thank you so much!
@@HobbyClubhouse we need more of your reviews
Legit reviewer. Cerebral but not boring. Knows his shit.
Thank you so much:)
Thanks for adding the dimensions of this behemoth haha! I was looking for those since I'm REALLY scared it won't fit on my char hg shelf space 😂 . May I ask, what action base you used at the end? Is it stable on that?
That was an Action Base 1 and surprisingly it holds up the Nightingale really well. I know what you mean for the size, I tried sticking it in my cabinet display and the giant butt wouldn't fit no matter what...
@@HobbyClubhouse haha yeah I know the feeling. I think it will fit on top of my cabinet where I placed all my char hg kits (like the sazabi you reviewed :) ) . But i may have to keep nightingale airborne to make things work....gonna be tight 😂
Would love to build all these gunpla you build
Man, if only you knew about all the stuff I built that hasn't been made into a video yet
Man I hope my local store can get one of these
I wonder if physical stores will struggle to have them in stock with how big each one is
he finished the kit 3 hours. for me i might be able to finish two leg parts of this kit. lol. crazy fast. about paint job, use those spray paints in walmart would result the same if you do it correctly. i sprayed my motocycle oil tank, fiber part, plastic part. they look fine for 3years now thru rain and dust. i did apply some spray paint to gunpla kit and they look fine. way easier than hand paint. 👋
i can't imagine if this released as MG too
Well, they aren't going to release an MG of this, that's why the RE100 is for
The Psyco Doga is an HG
But peebs
I think the rg hi nu is perfect with this behemoth of a sazabi labster
Will we ever get an HG bigger than the Neo Zeong?
"Char, are you compensating for something?"
-Amuro Ray.
Amuro then proceeds to pull out the Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher
At this point i really want a HG Alpha azieru...pleaseeee make it happen.
wow how do you build something like this in 3 hours
I wanna see the Sazabi try to weird that beam rifle tho
i'm buying this if i find it near where i live
Hope you've found it successfully since the comment. There's been some new stock of it going out since then
I have seen some people display the Funnels with Bandai’s Figurise Jet Effect set, the same ones that come with the RG Nu Gundam Funnel Effect set, so I assume they were designed to work with that line specifically. It’s quite a bummer that those funnels won’t work with the usual 3mm connections now but the Figurise Effect line does carry some amazing and fairly priced display options so I suggest you check some of them out if you got the budget
Hm, thanks for telling me. I'll have to get a set to test that out as soon as possible. Super curious about it now
holly hell, it look awesome, im need it. it also kinda look like b daman
Gosh I miss B-Daman toys. Those thruster binders would make pretty good grips for a B-Daman product...
Should’ve pulled out a rg pilot fig
The beam axe feels odd because they reused it from the RG Sazabi. It was made for that kit's hands.
Hm, I didn't know that. Gotta look into it a bit
And finally Psycho Doga got it released on December 2022 🥲
Hg psycho doga is real rn
The prophecy is true new hg psycho doga
p bandai doe 😔
Well we get Psycho Doga tho...m
do you think this kit can stand alongside the 1/100 Hi Nu ver Ka without looking out of place?
I think their head height should be quite close and fore sure the size will fit. The head and hands might look a bit tiny next to an MG kit, but maybe it's not super noticeable
Space-Lobster-san!
Space-Lobster-senpai
@@HobbyClubhouse space lobster-sama
i give it a gundarium tier rank, oopsy wrong channel lol
I'll change my intro to "Heyyy WHAT IS UPPP EVERYONE!" next time
Ah yes, I will never stop being salty that the RE100 doesn't get sub arms
Back then when I first saw how that dummy arm was a separate piece, I thought Bandai might release an options set later on that added functional arms, but sadly that never happened
How the hell was the Hi-Nu able to fight this monstrosity?!
The instructions even specifically says the Hi-Nu is equal to the Nightingale in abilities, and yeah, I'm not sure how that works either... the Neo Zeon engineers might have something to say about that
@@HobbyClubhouse Well I mean... the Hi-Nu DID win after all.
So maybe there's something to be said about it.
But still, LOOK AT THAT THING!!!
I wouldn't be surprised it Unicorns Shamblo was somewhat inspired by this thing!
IT'S FUCKING HUGE!!!
zazabi
Btw the chest looks like a shark
I didn't put on the black stickers for those white vents there or else it'll look even more like a shark head
Gonna be honest this design doesn’t do it for me. Just a bit to wonky if you ask me.
