The best part is all of those custom ACs are actual AC ranked Ravens from various Gen 3 games. Hell, someone custom built the intro AC for MoA and we still don't have a kit of that despite Kotobukiya giving us the Gen 1 Nineball (supposeably Kotobukiya was also going to give us the intro AC for MoA as well and possibly AC1 intro AC but Kotobukiya dropped AC production around that time).
Exactly. The mecha genre pretty much exists to sell toys and model kits. And that's not necessarily a bad thing as every mecha fan knows. We've gotten some amazing stories in the genre.
@@Godzilla00X Same as great western shows being cancelled because of low ratings. There is this fantasic 90s sci-fi show called Space: Above and Beyond (a grim, realistic military sci-fi show, kinda like a proto Battlestar Galactica) that got cancelled after one season. Fox, a network notorious for cancelling great shows, claimed it cost too much and didn't get enough viewers to justify more seasons.
LOL, the vid needed to randomly buffer at 3:07 _right after_ you said "weren't just inspired by gundam." the unintended added pause for effect was excellent
WonFes garage kits are some special pieces, sometimes I wish these were mass releases...genuinely gorgeous work from some amazing creators! Congrats on the Gulpla kit...I think it's called...
I went to wonderfest last february to meet an artist that make fanmade nendoroid model kits, bought 2 kits from him, gave him a plush i made by hands and in exchange of the plush he will make a Rias Gremory nendoroid for me. I also bought a few rare figures in the flea market(i had soo much bargains). And finally went to see the new announcement for me it was nendoroids, i was laughting that there was a jaws nendoroid. I went to see the moving gundam the day before wonderfest
That would be so hilarious if you accidentally signed up for the self-defense Force thinking it was fake being a Foreigner like American or something 😂
I'm just glad my country hasn't discovered the awesome power of cosplay for its military recruiters. My life would've gone in a completely different direction.
The military does tend to recruit at large events. When I used to go to NY Auto Show, the Marines had a booth in one of the corners, with recruitment materials and swag. I guess technically you couldn't sign up there, but it is not a bad place for advertising.
Old bootlegs can be weird and charming. I have a korean knockoff VF-1J from the 90s. I'm pretty sure it's a copy of Bandai's 1/55 Macross figures. The "synopsis" on the back of the box (which is in English for some reason) is hilarious. The story it tells has absolutely nothing to do with Macross and sounds more like a weird 70s super robot plot. The figure itself is pretty bad, but I keep it for the novelty factor.
I hope this would make you take a look at 3rd party kits of Gundams that have not been given that much attention by Bandai in recent times, like: - Solomon Physalis (MGEX GP02 - Eternal Star Glory (MG Stargazer) Both of those are awesome kits that I'm sure yoh would enjoy as well.
I'd have kind of thought, just from the look of the kit, that it was more of the obvious "take that" type thing that pops up in things where they basically filed off the specific copyrightable stuff from another, similar thing and then use it in your show/comics/whatever just to have it get it's ass kicked. Marvel and DC have been doing that for at least half a century now with each other and other things...
Another thing to add to the list of things to do if I ever make it to Japan. My wallet will hate me. But the JSDF thing isn't a big surprise. We used to take recruiters with us when we took a bird to airshows. They would literally have a stack of enlistment forms with them sitting on the ramp while we were giving (Usually hungover) tours of the aircraft.
Yeah it reminds me of americas army and how armies use video games for recruitment. It's probably a hobby with a lot of groups vulernable to recruitment
Awesome visit man. By any chances did you manage to get a glimpse of any CYBER TROOPER VIRTUAL-ON stuff? Im curious as I saw on X, several fans that makes works for that event say they would be there.
0:360:411:175:05 My eyes are bleeding from too much awesomeness. 0:48 This GunSaver mech looks a lot like an ExCreR mech. And the SDF thinks it's a good idea to recruit there of all places? Oh man, they're secretly training Gundam pilots already.
IP law is so dumb, I am a small artist and it spins my head to think something you make with your own two hands, you can't transfer the ownership of that object for its value if it has magical IP law capitalists have casted upon it like a spell. Kind of an L for humanity to decide that something that can be copied for free, like an artistic style or style of robot whatever, is off limits for the small artists to sell and humanities potential creative and craftsmanship output reduced as a result
Cash. I think I saw a few high-end booths advertising that they took cards, but cash is the way to go. I don't know if there's any ATMs nearby, but it's best to get your money in advance. (If there is one at the venue, I'd assume the line's gonna be very long)
Does anyone know where one could find a gunpla store in Tokyo that sells 2nd hand gunpla? I sometimes see posts of second hand gunpla sold in clear plastic bags but couldn't find where 😅
@@kakarot197 yes! I meant gunpla that are already built. So any store that sells 2nd hand things like Hard-Off will sell one, right? If I can't find it there, do you have any suggestions where else should I try?

Guldan should be the enemy faction of the next gundam anime lol
Their grunt suits can be called Fel gunners.
Make it one of the Build series, and it'll be perfect!
Their spaceship should be called megiabao @@ZachBlackforest
Every one of their suits are an one on one copy of the enemy ms
@@nathanhozhixianmoe6786 just bad eventually they give up the rouse and paint them inverted colors
ah yes the fabled "Gundam janaii" song at the karaoke bars.
Holy the Armored Core Stuff is EPIC!
I'm happy that the armoured core series is finally getting the recognition it deserves

Every mecha show is merchandise driven and the cash must flow so that they can make more episodes with promotion of new toys along the way.
Exactly. The mecha genre pretty much exists to sell toys and model kits. And that's not necessarily a bad thing as every mecha fan knows. We've gotten some amazing stories in the genre.
Nothing more painful than a good show canceled due to low toy sales

3:58 OH. MY. GOGG. I WANT THESE, great research!!!
6:55 The US also has some military recruiting booths at bigger cons. My local major con has the Navy & their Esports team as a regular booth.
TIL our US Navy has an Esports team
@@nedinnis6752The Army has an esports team as well. Hell, I think the only branches without esports teams are the Space Force and the Coast Guard.
Even non Gundam gunpla are superb in quality and design, weird things are now just wonderful collectible.
I've been to a couple of Winter Wonfes and they've been fantastic. Lots of people and very organized. The fan creations are always awe inspiring.
Meanwhile Huckebein just standing there totally not looking like a gundam at all.

That Roah and Black King at 0:32 is 🔥

Wonfes is heaven for me. Was there this year for both winter and summer events
0:34 Oh hey, Gigan's sisters from that one Godzilla thing.
I'm just glad my country hasn't discovered the awesome power of cosplay for its military recruiters. My life would've gone in a completely different direction.
Hell yeah. Wonfess is where I get all my Silent Hill kits.
1:18
I want ALL of those.

Bold to comment on the GM-Quel/Mark-II when no one can name the Space Revolutionary Army's MS without searching it up

Loved the post. I beg for more vids about convetions. I pause and rewinded so many times!
Mobile Thingy Guldan, he here to save day from Not So Good Evil Red Guldan. Two Guldan fight, one will win and winner is you.
this bootleg Gundam line reminds me on Super Robot Red Baron/Mach Baron, a life action tokusatsu series from 1973/74
i spit my drink seeing that thumbnail..lol
Gundam and Godzilla rooms, My favorites
The Guldans look so cool... I want.
Holy shit I would love to go there, so far Intermodellbau has been the only model kit convention I have been to.
6:57 YO THEY GOT THE (war thunder song idk)
Crazy thing I actually bought a Garage kit of Godzilla during Gfest no regrets
I hope this would make you take a look at 3rd party kits of Gundams that have not been given that much attention by Bandai in recent times, like:
- Solomon Physalis (MGEX GP02
- Eternal Star Glory (MG Stargazer)

Ah yes Guldan! Definitely NOT a Gundam ripped off!
Godzilla and Gundams absolute loves of my life. I wish I could go to Japan maybe one day 😁
super interesting! i should try drawing the guldan...
what a amazing video
Hope you have original vintage Gundam kit to compare Guldan kit in the video
Mu La Flaga have the good stuff all to himself, Murrue Ramius is judging him XD
Imitation is a form of flattery in a nutshell.
I'd have kind of thought, just from the look of the kit, that it was more of the obvious "take that" type thing that pops up in things where they basically filed off the specific copyrightable stuff from another, similar thing and then use it in your show/comics/whatever just to have it get it's ass kicked.

Any idea what those flying gear like airships are from 1:00 looks interesting
Imagine wanting to join the Japanese self defense force and a haman Karn cosplayer entices you to join
Free Cybernewtype treatment if you join within the next 10 minutes!
Another thing to add to the list of things to do if I ever make it to Japan. My wallet will hate me.

Im curious as I saw on X, several fans that makes works for that event say they would be there.
Ok my bubble was burst, I was hoping to see some cool AOZ and Kondo kits. Will you please attend the Bandai approved one?
0:36 0:41 1:17 5:05 My eyes are bleeding from too much awesomeness.
0:48 This GunSaver mech looks a lot like an ExCreR mech.
And the SDF thinks it's a good idea to recruit there of all places? Oh man, they're secretly training Gundam pilots already.
Are there any proxy services where I can hire someone to attend and pick up items for me if I live outside japan?
Yes, make them the enemy faction.
but... will we be getting a proper review of the "guldan" ?

Serious question, do they rather ask you to pay cash or do they have credit card facilities for vendors at Wonfes or Japan post ATM nearby?
Cash. I think I saw a few high-end booths advertising that they took cards, but cash is the way to go. I don't know if there's any ATMs nearby, but it's best to get your money in advance. (If there is one at the venue, I'd assume the line's gonna be very long)
