Now i need a GP02 in this kind of engineering. 😂
There’s a Third Party MG styled kit made by Solomon model and i’ve beard its really good and has multiple layers too
@HybrydATP64 yeah Solomon, didn't know if it's available and how much work it requires.
@@PhoenixFyre yeah its available in several places and from what i know, it requires minimal work
Do it Bandai !!!!!! 💵
Holy crap Jang is now reviewing mecha model kits???? i never expected this lol
Same, I've been watching his lego review videos for a long time and I was surprised that he's also reviewing gunpla kits now.
He's been doing it for a while on his personal channel, theJang, for a while. Not too long ago he decided to split it off into this new channel.
The year is 2014. I am obsessed with LEGO and have found myself watching Jang review the Creator Grand Emporium. The set is outside of my usual range of LEGO themes, but it’s really nice so I need it for my collection.
The year is 2024. I’ve recently become obsessed with Gunpla and have unexpectedly found myself watching Jang review the RG RX 78-2 2.0. It’s not a HG G-Witch kit like the rest of what I’m interested in, but it’s the latest and greatest in Gunpla so I need it for my increasingly Sisyphean backlog.
I'm glad this showed up in my recommended. I love your Lego reviews, and it's great to hear your perspectives on Gunpla kits. At this point I think you've definitely graduated from being an amateur, and I personally think the English-speaking Gunpla community on TH-cam greatly benefits from a wider array of viewpoints.
It's amazing how much detail they were able to cram into such a small kit and have it still be perfectly stable
I dare say no Master Grade kit has an Inner Frame as impressive, not even the RX-78-2 3.0
Also, you just KNOW that kit is gonna stay flexible and amazing, since it's not using polycaps. Perhaps after this, they'll finally do a RG GM!
I mean, MG 3.0 did come out 11 years ago. It's far less RG vs MG than new vs old, no matter the grade. Bandai keeps raising its own bar.
@@JangMecha True true, makes me wonder what a 4.0 would look like
Now this is much better than the OG RG ones
just got this model in the mail today! I'll probably start it this weekend. so excited
It's absolutely crazy, I watched you when I was a kid for when hero factory was out and even before then. Finding out you have this channel will make me watch you now that I'm an adult :) much love jang ❤
Had no idea you created a separate channel for gundam/mecha! Looking forward to more videos in the future!
I used to watch you for Lego reviews as a kid, now that I’m older and I started moving to gunpla I’m glad to see your videos pop back up for the same interests
Found out about this channel from your recent JANGBRICKS video. You might say it was "destiny" (don't worry! I'll see myself out), as I've just bought my second ever Gundam, and first ever RG. Wish me luck!!
Who is JANGBRICKS?
my experience with rg has been a rollercoaster, first was the og rx-78-2, absolutely doo doo, then sazabi, pretty good bbut still a couple of loose parts, then unicorn, also good but the skirts fall off just like the rx78, but now with a bunch more moving parts. I'm looking forward to this 2.0
If you wanna check out another RG any of the Impulse Gundams (Sword, Force, Destiny, Spec II, Blast Spec II) are an amazing build especially with the Core Splendor gimmick
Jealous. I've been waiting on mine for months. Looks amazing tho. I'm super hyped now
Jang, i just found out you have a Gunpla/mech channel! I had no idea. As someone getting back into Gunpla after many years of Lego, I'd love if you made a video going over the tools you use. For example, is it really worth spending $70 for nippers, or is a $20 pair good enough. Things like that.
Was hoping to see some Evoroids on this channel
Wow I didnt know you did gundam stuff now! I remember watching your lego videos
You have a great voice, very pleasant to listen to. Great vid :)
My first Gundam kit from Bandai, before this, i just buy cheap bootleg from China. I love the craft and engineering behind this Gundam. Its a Art worth to buy and have it.
Hey jang could you review the mg barbatos please?👀👀
Man even Jang got his, HLJ really screwed me over on my pre-order, gonna have to order it from Newtype or USAGundam when they get it at this rate...
Not a rx78 fan but has 12 kits and wearing a rx shirt haha
I might get this kit if i every find it on sale.
Used to watch jang when I was younger with all the lego and megabloks reviews. Ended up getting into model kits and gunpla during the pandemic so I kinda stopped watching. and all of a sudden I get Jang in my recomendations again! this time with gunpla!
I'm surprised that Jang is reviewing mecha now, too!
I'm totally gonna get this! It's on my shopping list rn, also gonna get a VerKa Wing Zero. It's so beautiful, I can't pass it up.
Also, have you built the Mega size Unicorn yet? I have a feeling you've probably already done the Mega RX-78-2
Thanks for the review! I really want to get the rg 2.0 after seing some reviews but sadly missed the preorder window over here. T_T
On a different note: Have you seen/are you at all interested in reviewing one of the motor nuclear mecha kits? Im currently building one and Id be curious to hear your thoughs on them since the quality of some third party companies are getting really good. ^^
I’ve been loving you’re approach to these kits. Do you ever plan on branching out to other model kit companies? If it’s Kotobukiya id highly recommend the msg Garudagear. It’s got an mg size and is fully transformable
He's built numerous kits from various brands.
Jang doing mecha now?
I still thing the original rx-78-2 looks sooo much better. I personally never cared about articulation
Personally, I dont like this one at all. Sure, it has some pretty amazing engineering, but because of it the overall proportions of the gundam are off. I just hate how thick its legs are, same with the bubble head. RG 1.0 kept the spirit of the original gundam much better.
This version is closser to the VaKa design. I like it except for the chest vents
Anyone else hate how it’s posed?
Personally i'm not a fan of RGs either due to the size and i'm not vibing with the visual changes made to the RX-78-2 for the 2.0
The size is just normal HG...
