I subscribed because you give excellent verbal reviews. Quality writing and you cover topics that are relevant, and do not dwell on issues that I don't care too much about. I'm not a snapper and I paint, and I find that many reviews take forever and a half to tell me that all mobile suit kits head spin 360 degrees (whee!). Please keep it up.
As far as I can recall none of the Exia molds ever came with the beam daggers. They first showed up in Gundam Age with the Age-1 normal, the original exia HG didn't even come with beams, it had an all white beam saber stick.
The portent looks like an alien gundam (in a good way). It's so different than other gundams. I like the slick design, so feminine. Compare this to the strike or the RX-78-2 or the zakus, the portent's design is in a class of its own. Pure.
I just finished building it and my main issue was actually with its limbs being loose. The legs and arms both were prone to coming out of socket. The only other part that had this issue was one of the arm wings. Otherwise It assembled very quickly and was a lot of fun The weapons, stand, and poses are really versatile and it now takes one of the more dynamic positions in my collection.
***** only disappointment that I had with the rg exia was the leg movement forwards. I always end up slightly disappointed with exia's lack of leg movement.
when i did the matte spray i took out the clear parts and when i was done i put them back in for a more lightly look illuminated almost it does look awesome with a led light next or under it it gives an amazing look
This is... Exia custom with new joints! Wtf Bandai, they remake all of the joints for this customize ver of Exia, but not the original Exia Kill me pls P/s: I'm an Exia fan
Mecha Gaikotsu pointed out a lot of problems with loose connections in his review, mainly with the shoulder connection to both the torso and biceps. Did you experience this problem, and, if so, is thickening the joints simple?
***** Generally speaking, no. I mean, if you use enough force then obviously they'll pop out. However, I do topcoat all my kits so I don't really experience the loose joints issue all that often.
This is better than I thought it wouldve been. It has the joints and articulation that I was hoping the Exia Amazing was gonna have. Ive seen the next hgbf Im interested in...hope its better than its rival. But Im waiting for the RG 00 Raiser to hit the stores.
***** Yup, me. So what I decided to do i I cut off some of the numbered tabs from a runner I have because it has spare parts. The numbers are the thinnest and smallest pieces left. I took those and glued them over the open side on the wings. When I did, I was careful to use my plastic cement only on the middle of the pegs to which the wings attach. When the cement had finished curing, this allows them to still move, while the glued tabs keep the wings from falling off. So there ya go: a working solution to G-Portent's arm wings.
When I built Destiny, whenever I moved its limbs it would fall apart almost as if it was as fragile as dust! When u move its arms it looks like it's glued on ! Any ideas?
Genma Shiranui i hate RG type gundam model kits after trying to build RG destiny gundam.......... I broke the moveable hands....... I hate RG HG is my style
It is a great kit by any means. The design, however, is a bit odd to me. By the way, you might want to try the Mack Knife. I would say it's one of the best model kit HGRG line has to offer.
Dude oo raiser and oo qant got twin gn drives and it makes them teleport but if there are 3 gn drive in a gundam dude I don't know what it could possibly do
ohhhhhhh THATS what you meant with "when gundam wing coverage returns ill show you which mobile suit was my favorite" at the end of the RG wing zero review
When you say seam line coverage, what do you generally do? Have looked at some TH-cam tutorials but they all require superglue, putty and 24 hrs of waiting.. Is there an easier/faster way or is that it?
I can't answer for Type V3's tricks, but for myself, I use Tamiya Cement. It's basically a chemical that melts the plastic to "glue" two pieces together like soldering them. You need to clean it up with a knife and sandpaper after it cures overnight. It doesn't go faster, but you don't "need" putty if the circumstances are good since the soldering would not leave a gap between parts. In addition, for white parts, if you plan to top coat, you don't need to paint it up. Paint is still required for any other color. I'm not personally aware of a faster way to do it. If someone does, please say so, because I'm interested too :)
lukeiamyourdad yeah I was thinking cement. I'm just impatient haha. Building the Beargguy San and the seams on the torso are so noticeable! Sanded down the inside framing a bit which was a slight improvement but it's still not quite flush :/
***** haha yeeeah I'm trying to get into that mindset! Used to just rush through them. Just scared of destroying the parts with amateur skills haha. So you'd just apply a small amount of cement on one side and stick 'em together, then leave over night and clean up?
TYPE V3 I am sad because I my place still does not have the Lightning back weapon system mk 2 it my favorite support unit from Gundam build fighter try
What I don't get, is that if the G-Portent and Transient have GN drives, why did they never use trans-am? It could've given them a temporary advantage against Team Try Fighters.
D Beat The Transient actually has an equivalent to Trans-am. It's called Transient Burst - basically does the same thing as Trans-am but it doesn't have the time limit.
I was very disappointed with the coloring of the plastic, especially when compared to the true to anime colors. Also I feel that the recommendation for the replacement for the chrome stickers that sit under the clear green pieces is almost a necessity for a more interesting display. Adding paint and lines simply does Portent no good, she needs deeper color if only a little. As well as tinted, not black, panel lines. Also, the Portent flyer is a welcomed addition to the Portent over all.
i think people panel line way to much on some gunpla. in some places it looks perfect, such as the face plate, as it adds a shadow effect where there should be. other times, it just looks like you put marker on it when it didn't need to be touched.
I actually think the G Portent looks really awkward. I don't like how the wings are located on the arms and legs, and the compartment for the repair bots on the rear skirts looks too chunky and square. The rifle is giant and equally large, and reminds me of a box with a tube sticking out of it. I'm not going to buy this kit, but I think the Transient Gundam and Gundam The End are unique designs. I'm definitely going to get Gundam The End because of its special features and the design.
The beam rifle looks nice tho...as a lazy modeler, i should thanks to bandai for making the white part for the rifle.. The star build strike really makes me sad.. They just give us stupid gray looking rifle!
I can't seem to get a bicep swivel, there is a tab that connects to the bicep armor that prevents for under the shoulder guard. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Type V3, just 2 things you should consider. Firstly, the mini-repair-bots are too small for them to make, or for us to build. Those are just to small, and we don't really need it anyway. Secondly, this G-Portent seems to be build for girls, by the look of it. So it means this gundam lacks the coolness that the other gundams normally have. Consider this tobe build for girls, of cause we guys wouldn't be front of it. With that said, when I saw your review, I immdiately think that I'll get this kit for my girlfriend.
Kenny Dang Never meant that the karels needed to be build, just included - like they did with the army men in the GM Sniper K9. For "girls?" That shouldn't even be a thing. Anyone can like anything.
***** Yeah, about the karels, i also think it should be included, but consider this to be a hg kit, I think the karels are too small to be included in here. By the look of the G-Portent, It's appearrance has more of the cute side than the cool side. I still like this Gundam, thought.
I wont lie, I have been looking for a feminine looking Gundam. But the Nobel to me is just too.. cheesy. I do like the look of this one. I wont lie, I was also even more sold from the beam sabers.
I subscribed because you give excellent verbal reviews. Quality writing and you cover topics that are relevant, and do not dwell on issues that I don't care too much about. I'm not a snapper and I paint, and I find that many reviews take forever and a half to tell me that all mobile suit kits head spin 360 degrees (whee!).

I always look forward to watching all your Gundam
kit reviews, thank you!
i love how they included a stand :)
Chris Deger NANI!!!!

I dunno man, this gundam doesnt seem very im"portent" in team celestial sphere
haha! I knew there weren't any matters more imPORTENT than this one!
Corey Gong I bet you feel smart. Don't let it go to your head!
Ohhh get rekt
+Christopher DeRose yes the girlfriend of sekai is shia
ahhh puns
TYPE V3 portent plus transient gundam + gundam the end😂
I just finished building it and my main issue was actually with its limbs being loose. The legs and arms both were prone to coming out of socket. The only other part that had this issue was one of the arm wings. Otherwise It assembled very quickly and was a lot of fun The weapons, stand, and poses are really versatile and it now takes one of the more dynamic positions in my collection.
i like the GN Smash -Mouth- Rifle.
also, what's your favorite gundam/kit?
his favorite gundam kit is RG exia i think
Revian Syam Arifin Bingo!
***** only disappointment that I had with the rg exia was the leg movement forwards. I always end up slightly disappointed with exia's lack of leg movement.
when i did the matte spray i took out the clear parts and when i was done i put them back in for a more lightly look illuminated almost it does look awesome with a led light next or under it it gives an amazing look

Wtf Bandai, they remake all of the joints for this customize ver of Exia, but not the original Exia
Kill me pls
P/s: I'm an Exia fan
Aren't we all an exia/00 fan? XD
Seriously some of the BEST Gundam designs and a good somewhat strong story
I think the design of this is based on the Sakibure, the MS seen on the end credits of Awakening of the Trailblazer
how to put a panel line and a clear paint by the way did you have a review of rg destiny gundam
Transient comes out in April 2015
can you apply the clear coat without removing/covering the clear pieces?
You just have to cover it with maskinh tape
but if ever, is there any way to avail of the tiny repair robots as seen in the anime?
Mecha Gaikotsu pointed out a lot of problems with loose connections in his review, mainly with the shoulder connection to both the torso and biceps. Did you experience this problem, and, if so, is thickening the joints simple?
***** Generally speaking, no. I mean, if you use enough force then obviously they'll pop out.

ln Philippines the store is full of rg oo raisers I did not buy it cause I buy the sdg
Does anyone have any tips for making the wings on the arms more secure? It's frustrating that they keep falling off.
***** Yup, me.
So what I decided to do i I cut off some of the numbered tabs from a runner I have because it has spare parts. The numbers are the thinnest and smallest pieces left. I took those and glued them over the open side on the wings. When I did, I was careful to use my plastic cement only on the middle of the pegs to which the wings attach. When the cement had finished curing, this allows them to still move, while the glued tabs keep the wings from falling off.
So there ya go: a working solution to G-Portent's arm wings.
***** So what _were_ you expecting?
Also which kit of the ones coming out in the future do you want the most
Where'd you get the awesome black base stand?
For some reason, I got a reverb act 3 feeling from this gunpla
what do you use to panel line, im new to gunpla and your models look great.
When I built Destiny, whenever I moved its limbs it would fall apart almost as if it was as fragile as dust! When u move its arms it looks like it's glued on ! Any ideas?
Where do you get all the materials
did u use tamiya flat clear top coat ?
well atleast someone made a amazing review on this thing
Mg epyon and shin musha which better i need ur opinion
what is the name of gunpla at 2:01 3rd one from the left?
+Genma Shiranui On the right side of the screen? RG Destiny Gundam
+TYPE V3 do you have a review of that?
Genma Shiranui i hate RG type gundam model kits after trying to build RG destiny gundam.......... I broke the moveable hands.......
I hate RG HG is my style
XxPL29xX my first gundam model was a RG.... I actually did pretty good at it
Jst wondering type, but in terms of play value which gundam is the best
this is a pretty rad looking gundam. more like gundaaayyyum! cause that's how much I like it
Do the little arm blade things throw anyone else back to guyver?
Are you getting the MG for Exia Dark Matter?
Nice review! Just got mine today.
Do you topcoat before or after panel lining?
Before
Sorry...do lining first
It is a great kit by any means. The design, however, is a bit odd to me.
By the way, you might want to try the Mack Knife. I would say it's one of the best model kit HGRG line has to offer.
Are there 3 engines on it? Or just one? Because if it was 3 wouldn't that cause the gundam to really unstable like the 00?
Christopher Alaniz It's a toy. It doesn't matter.
The 00 was only unstable if it tried to Trans-Am without the 0-Raiser attached.
2ndSndWve ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me. But still the question remains does it have 3 engines?
I think it was mentioned at some point in the show, yeah.
Dude oo raiser and oo qant got twin gn drives and it makes them teleport but if there are 3 gn drive in a gundam dude I don't know what it could possibly do
ohhhhhhh THATS what you meant with "when gundam wing coverage returns ill show you which mobile suit was my favorite" at the end of the RG wing zero review
DuoPersona101 Not quite...
not quite is there a new wing gunpla that we're not aware of? TELL ME IN GREAT GOD GUNDAMS NAME!
Well, it's not a wing gundam variant. And I've already teased it in another video...
really!? Which one?
;)
what's your next gunpla review?
will you review Wing Zero Honoo?
When you say seam line coverage, what do you generally do? Have looked at some TH-cam tutorials but they all require superglue, putty and 24 hrs of waiting.. Is there an easier/faster way or is that it?

gundamotaku07 Sadly there is no "fast" way. But let's be honest, model kits aren't about speed to begin with anyways!
***** haha yeeeah I'm trying to get into that mindset! Used to just rush through them. Just scared of destroying the parts with amateur skills haha. So you'd just apply a small amount of cement on one side and stick 'em together, then leave over night and clean up?
Does the wing thing on the leg and hand pop out easily
KenfrozenKai Nope.
I'll have this kit for my ex bday. Nice review!
Please get the tryon 3
Friend got the transient
Gotta get this one!
+TYPE V3 can we hope hope the transient Gundam is go to be out soon
Looks amazing!!! Thanks for the review!!!
Bro, where do u buy ur kits?
Honoo... Honoo... Honoo...
Also, the elbow kinda bugs me
Has the gundam transient been released yet??
It gets released in April :(
Kaleb Vu oh ok thx...:D
What are you using for the background display? I remembered you commenting about it on a previous video but can't find it DX.
Kevin Lee H Hanger by Wave
Thanks :D
Is it G portent or just portent?
TYPE V3 I am sad because I my place still does not have the Lightning back weapon system mk 2 it my favorite support unit from Gundam build fighter try

+TYPE V3 True.
when will you do transient and denial?
Kenn Chenn Probably sometime after they're released.
Are there 3 GN drives on that thing?
presumably
Can never go wrong with beam daggers.
Arrowdodger Agreed.
I Like how The Celestial Sphere HGBF 1/144 kit has stand might gonna get her and transient .
transient is out!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan Cheng I want the crossbone x1 full cloth most :D
me to but that is actually an old kit re
advertised using build fighters
it is hard to find now
Ryan Cheng they have the x1 from robot damashii, but now bandai is gonna release an x1 build fighters version :D
Do you actually need a cutter to make this model?
No, but it's highly recommended.
***** have you ever considered tutorials for gundam? Also what is the factory like thing you use for reviews
No tutorials from me. At least not anytime soon.

GundampilotX Enamel paint mixture.
I love Shia from build fighters try but the only kit I own of hers is the Shia qan[t]
So can anyone tell me their top 5 season 1 then season 2 gunpla picks based on their design and articulation....it's for research
i think people panel line way to much on some gunpla. in some places it looks perfect, such as the face plate, as it adds a shadow effect where there should be. other times, it just looks like you put marker on it when it didn't need to be touched.
do the Denial Gundam if it comes out :D plus the Transient and Gundam The End
Wing Zero Honoo review confirmed!!
That rifle is completely non-hostile and comforting.
I actually think the G Portent looks really awkward. I don't like how the wings are located on the arms and legs, and the compartment for the repair bots on the rear skirts looks too chunky and square. The rifle is giant and equally large, and reminds me of a box with a tube sticking out of it. I'm not going to buy this kit, but I think the Transient Gundam and Gundam The End are unique designs. I'm definitely going to get Gundam The End because of its special features and the design.
The Shia Quant is a much better looking green-colored Exia variant
Funny I got the Portant flyer in the mail first even thoufh I ordered the G-portant first
nice review! thanks so much!
i just got my first kit it was this one!
The beam rifle looks nice tho...as a lazy modeler, i should thanks to bandai for making the white part for the rifle.. The star build strike really makes me sad.. They just give us stupid gray looking rifle!
TheMuscleHamster I know right?
Nice Gunpla!
The G-Portent
The back if it reminds me of the astraea
i really hate it's head design how about u do u like it or not
keep it up :) nice kit!
I can't seem to get a bicep swivel, there is a tab that connects to the bicep armor that prevents for under the shoulder guard. Am I doing something wrong?
I might get it... Just for the stand...
Pliotsheep The Tuxedo Don't do that.
Ok lol
if you dont want the g portent let your pet build it

lol type aren't you unhappy that this gunpla didn't come with a blush face for you to use on the articulation section
I'll wait for the MG
hugo trejo there won't be a MG....
potent is based on the exia r2 model
really? I was thinking it looked more like 00 or probably parts from both xD
maybe a little
Dat head tho 😂😂😂
Smells Like Wing Zero Honoo :)
meh i don't like the green on this but that's personal preference.
iisn't the head from gundam astray ?
Oh come on Bandai . You put soldiers in the GM Sniper K9's Dog,there's no excuse for you NOT to include repair bots on the Portent.
am I the only one who heard "boing" at 3:06
It would look so much better without the face vents.
Otonashi Huh. Never really though about that but you're absolutely right!
why does this model kit remind me of WO
A girl's MS looking like a girl's MS is something "wrong"?
All your polycaps and joints are always so weak they seem worn out
I think the design looks clunky and the wing bits that stick out of the arms and legs make it look awkward. The gun looks pretty good though.
I wont lie, I have been looking for a feminine looking Gundam. But the Nobel to me is just too.. cheesy. I do like the look of this one.
I wont lie, I was also even more sold from the beam sabers.
