Grunt month has started for G-Witch, and I thought it would just be some duds that no one will talk about in about three weeks time. Boy, was I wrong. The HG Zowort might seem simple, but its cool looks and fine engineering more than compensate for the light loadout. If that's still a problem, the HG Tickbalang serves as a great supplementary accessory, with fully posable thrusters, footrests, and even deployable landing gear. Peil definitely has no plans to slack behind the others in the Three Branches.

Ahh yess. First time I heard a non-Filipino pronounce Tickbalang so close to the native Philippines pronunciation lol.
Took so many takes to get it consistently right, but I'm so glad it was worth it
@@mj2005gundam The pronunciation was very spot on.
Yeah
@@mj2005gundam we indoctrinate you as a fellow "kabayan"/countryman, you have done the country proud ✊🇵🇭
Fun fact: aside from being mentioned that the Tickbalang is from Filipino mythology, it's appearance is a humanoid beast with a head of a horse, and a disproportionately long arms and legs.
It's like a reverse Centaur LOL
Well, going on piggyback in this case
Peil's grunt MS, Armored Core-flavored GM with a hint of Flag. Great in the hands of a certain birthday cake, not so great when piloted by Earth House rookies, unless for supporting Chuchu.
As for the Tickbalang Base Jabber it's really good looking sub-flight unit, not to mention with full-retracting landing gear.
Also happy to see the Zowort standing alongside Graham's Flag and Brave Commander at 1:43.
Well said! Both these kits are just well-made in general.
Had to put the Flag and Brave together with this guy, they are indeed similar
I’m loving that gm sniper custom esque color scheme- fitting for a sick grunt
Honestly, it's way cooler than I initially gave it credit for. Thank god they didn't decide to muck the colors up this time around
Really enjoy your reviews!
Glad you like them!
These two are another other kits I hope to get in my local hobby shop alongside the michaelis, beguir pente, and mirasoul flight unit soon.
Gonna be a bit before you get every one of them in one place, but be warned, the Tickbalang flew off the shelves over here
How does the torso joints feel like? (is it tight or loose, I'd like to know) because the chest looks quite top-heavy but the waist is very thin, I'm worried about how long the joints would hold up...
Easily posable, but damn solid once you stop messing with it. There are no weight issues to report whatsoever
Origin of Tickbalang (Tikbalang). In the Philippines, it is a mythological creature with the torso of a man but the head and legs of a horse, the limbs are also disproportionately long, kinda seen in the Zowort's longer arms, and kinda emulated in Piel technologies' Pharact. Riding it though is one means of taming it.
I wonder if they would lean further into Filipino mythology with other Peil designs..
Thanks for the information though
Might get the tickbalang
Definitely one of the more interesting sub-flight units to get
From what I've heard, didn't the mech designer from armored core design the peil tech mobile suits? Cuz this thing gives off armored core vibes.
Wataru Inata is most known for designing Armored Core mechs. Since it's him who is in charge of the Peil designs, it's no surprise that they'd resemble Armored Core designs.
honestly I want the tickbalang more right now,the landing gear thing are hitting me hard
I know right? I was pushed over the edge by that and got it for the experience
i love the legs and head of the zowort. wished the peil suits have squared upper arm instead of round, it felt mismatched to the blocky forearm. i also have the same opinion for the Rezels
I personally don't find the design language that offensive, but I get what you mean.
Hmm I could see the zowort getting loose. Have the other WFM kits held up?
The only loose parts I’ve had are the right hand of the Ariel. Otherwise the line is super solid joint wise
The pharact backpack is a bit loose on the booster arms
The only issue I've had so far are the Pharact's binders stressing from dislocation, and the Michaelis' Bracer getting loose because I was an irresponsible child. Otherwise, all of them are still holding up, and keep in mind I got all of them near their release dates
Which model kit was the one above the Tickbalang at 5:09? Thank you!
Thats the HGUC GM Spartan
@@mj2005gundam Thank you!
1:44 Woah, the Brave is bigger than i thought! O_O
Yeah. I thought the Zowort looks like the Flag series, but seems like it's far from it
What's worse than a tikbalang?
- a flying tickbalang 😂
Either demon horse or flying flatbed
An impressive light infantry and carrier,
That is about to get heavier
@@mj2005gundam that's a great news
Nice one
Thank you
Ok i m tempted by tick balang but not the MS may be if we had option set but i will have to see
All I can do now is hold out hope
@@mj2005gundam can u also reply and answer my question on the OO raiser gn sword 3 review?
@@1996starter I did..
Was sorta skeptical at first but now im kinda regretting not preordering lol
I'm with you, except it's about me dismissing it before because it's a grunt.
you can preorder the heavy zowort right now
@@mj2005gundam honestly bandai is giving lots more love to grunts than before, with the leo, zaku and this
Would it be cool if they came up with a Gundam kapre and Gundam aswang
Pardon my ignorance, but those are other Filipino mythological creatures?
They are both supernatural creatures..... Kapres are demonic creatures known for smoking tobacco while the Aswangs are shape-shifting monsters who hunt unsuspecting victims in the middle of the night...
@@mj2005gundamyes
Spoilers For WfM(S1)
At 4:29 I just now realized that Elan4 was killed by being hung to the thruster of a Tickbalang....
I think it's really just an incineration cannon than a thruster. They can share design cues since they're both made by Peil
they actually integrated the landing gear??? even the 1/72 macross plamo doesn't have these kind of thing. i'm sure bandai is cooking something good with macross plamo//huff copium
I know, right? It's so impressive how they managed to do that on an HG. It's just a flatbed, sure, but none of the other sub-flight units have such a feature
@@mj2005gundam true and this give quite a lot of comfort for doing diodrama.
BANDAI should make a model kit line for real-life planes, the Tickbalang was a good introduction to it.
I believe Tamiya has already got that market covered IIRC, correct me if I'm wrong. However, I would agree if Gundam designs try to incorporate real life fighter jet motifs into their transforming designs, harken back to some of the legendary aircraft designs while implementing a Gundam twist
I saw they did a high grade macross valkyrie recently. Looks like they could be getting somewhere with that, would love more bandai macross kits
Bandai has shown they're capable of making aircraft kits with stuff like their EX line of kits that include the Dopp, Core Fighter, Dodai Two, etc., offerings like the PG Sky Grasper, and their Macross line of kits including their 1/72 fully transforming kits, and 1/100 partsforming HG Macross models among others.
Dang how’d u get these so quickly
From the local store. I live in Hong Kong, but not for long though
Bit of a late question, but do you remember how you painted that Tickbalang? I was hoping to find an official colour guide for it (mostly just to see what I'd need to get versus what I already posessed,) but it seems none have surfaced online.
Just a gray Gundam marker. Though you can do massively better with a brush and paint
@@mj2005gundam Fair enough. I'll keep looking around then, and if all else fails, I'll probably do it in Aircraft Gray. Thanks for the help anyway!
Ngl, I think the Tickbalang is way cooler than the Base Jabber even with the simpler details
That's because it has a more characteristic design compared to the Base Jabbers. I really can't tell one from the other unless I really looked
I wish that it came with an action base
Same here. Not as much for the Zowort as the Tickbalang
The only thing making me wait for the heavy version instead of the standard version is the weapon. That dinky pistol is so unimpressive.
To each their own. This kit is still a very good basis for any future variant
Wort wort wort
Then turned into beer
Odd name for the flyer lol
It's derived from a Filipino mythological creature after all
Looks like a knightmare from code geass
With the lanky aesthetics, I can understand
The color scheme is not that dark like in the box
I hate that the camera changes the colors on film
I am certain they designed these as model kits. I mean... come on... those 30MM holes all over the place make it look unfinished "but its in the design!!" Yeah.. so they can easily make a zowo heavy model kit and yall will defend it lmao
I don't plan to defend what a design is primarily conceived to be, I'm just gonna state the facts and look at what is presented in the packages. In fact, if I have to be cynical about the situation, I believe that G-Witch is model kits first, story second, which resulted in what we have today instead of the more serious, heavier plot that was teased by the prologue and trailer
@@mj2005gundam I wasn't trying to throw any shade your way, I don't expect you to make any judgments like that in your reviews. By saying "yall" I meant it as a general reply to that common retort. Just my opinion on the looks and that this design in particular sold me on the same idea as you that these were designed as kits before mecha
I think they shouldve go with the whole proper spelling which is "tikbalang" now its kinda like a parasitic blood sucking machine.
Well, it won't have been the first time they slightly changed the name for their designs, we've seen that many times before
