wow, i'm pretty early! Been looking forward to this kit, if only I could get my kits on the eastern release schedule but sadly my area is the last for kits to circulate into through bluefin's US supply chain. Nice video as usual!
@@bahamut_the_warrior doing well, thank you. Currently moving in to a new house so no uploads lately but there will be a new video soon! Be sure to check the channel because TH-cam refuses to notify subscribers when I upload anymore sadly
I've been quite curious with Blufin and how well they distribute kits since I might be relocating back at some point myself. I imagine Kyoukai Senki might not be super high on their priorities with them needing to get Battlogue kits out right now
@@HobbyClubhouse In terms of western distribution it’s done from west to east since the supply chain starts in California. I’m based out of the eastern part of the country so we get everything last here lol
It is really cool that the rifle has a rail system. Even if you can't remove the handle and attach scopes its really cool. I wish other kits had tail systems on weapons it gives kits a more realistic feel
I just love how different these kits look from each other while still looking similar as coming from the same line and concept. This is my favorite of all. About the show, im really liking how they implement the "mascots" as just holographic avatars of the AI instead of physical plushies.
I know im a bit late to the party, but damn are you a great and such an underrated reviewer. This is my first video I've seen from this channel but the quality really shows. Very distinct and far more informative from other reviewers, no sense of rushing, and toppedwith a nicely written script. Really worth more subs!
A very belated but big thank you! Trying to spread quality looks at kits video by video:) So I'm always thrilled to get comments like yours. Takes a lot of work, but it's worth it
I'm really eager to get a Bunyip Boomerang next week and checking out the legs on that guy (and those cute T-Rex sub arms). The claw foot on the Byakuchi actually looks more realistic than the shoes(?) on the Kenbu
with this being a basically a preview it gives me great hope for the line as a whole even with flaws. and also all the design give a bit of that turn a wibe for some reason which is a good thing.
Turn A also happens to be the rare Gundam series to have MSes with backwards-bending knees like that... what are they called... the tiny runners with the tails...
This is an excellent review! I really enjoy the amount of history you share, comparisons with real world tech, and how much you focus on the small details of this kit. Can't wait to watch more of your content! 😁
in hindsight despite the flaws of the show the model kits were quite awesome in my opinion ive only built the armored special carrier and its already one of my favorite kits (the playability with rg/mg figures and the gm sniper k9 army figures is awesome!) my dad posted a pic of me with the finished carrier on facebook and only a few hours later Ken Okuyama himself liked the post, and i was stoked im currently in a massive year-long gundam seed project (im not a full-time reviewer or builder just a young customizer) with a bunch of suits for the EA, ZAFT, and ORB, and I was thinking about picking up the Byakuchi and Option Sets 2 (Gen 2 Mailes weapons) and 5 (Byakuchi Full Armor) to customize into a black and gold colored ms for ORB that I call the MBF-KM2 Arashi with three different combat modes by switching out the option set equipment. thank you for the in-depth review! now should i pick up the ghost...
The color separations of kyoukai senki line is really identical to MS Seed colors like the Byakuchi as a 1st release using Duel colors i just notice it but a lighter white hehe
This guy is such a good canvas for customization. It can hold 30MM weapons too and use their parts on the holes on the shoulders and thighs which I totally forgot to include in the video
Wooo! This was a review that I was more then looking forward to, These designs are great and I was excited when these were announced, except the price, damn that's quite high but Now that I've seen the review, I'm considering it honestly but for now, Great Review and I look forward to another next week Edit: Oh also a small edit, the HGUC Gouf review has HGUG on the Title instead of HGUC
Hm, how did that "HGUG" stay hidden for so long... Fixed:) I think if I were to choose among the MAILeS, I'd want the Byakuchi the most for the neat handles on the arms and those boxy legs. The flaws on it are really odd, but the design looks so great even just standing there I'm really eager to get a Bunyip Boomerang and taking a look at that oddball
@@HobbyClubhouse Yeah I wonder how that took so long to spot but I agree with the Bunyip, I would love to own one of those kits cause it really feels like a Turn A Design, similar to a Wodom pod in some aspects honestly
Thanks for reviewing this and pointing put some of its flaws for us, just ordered this bad boy the other day with a pre-order of the Mailes Rekei kit. I might just need to invest in some gunpla markers to fix the inaccuracies..
Some touch-up painting would really go a long way to make this kit realistic and feel like real-world machinery, especially with how much of the frame is exposed on this kit. Kinda looking forward to the Reiki myself too
Super awesome review as usual! Your video was very informative and its clear to see that you placed a ton of effort in editing and filming. Looking forward to your next vid 😁 Also these mech design didn't really stick with me at first but after seeing this kit in your review, I'm starting to actually like it. I can't wait to see how the other mech designs turn out and hopefully they'll look as cool as this one 🔥
By the time I slowly got to your comment here, we've already gotten a bit of an answer with the Kenbu:) Currently filming the box of the Boomerang, really eager to see what it has to offer
As usual, thank you for checking out the video:) The Byakuchi actually looks more like a flexible combat vehicle than the Kenbu which looks a bit like a sports car. Really gotta love the drum magazine too
About the “high target product market”, see also Bandai’s P-Bandai releases of revamped versions of legacy Sunrise IP and the adaptation of 86 as more examples.
I've always wanted bandai to use that strategy where the gate meets the part via an embossed detail ( line on the horn ). that makes it very easy to mask the rest of the part and just sand and buff that embossed part or protrusion detail. or alternatively just paint it metallic a la RG. at first glance this it looks garbage to me, but you're selling it pretty well with the mechanical design choices. it's just unfortunate they had to use the kiddie color theme for a high target line. stickers and high target form an oxymoron.
The poor line has been loped right off of quite a few kits I see on Twitter and the owners don't seem to know at all, the poor kits... I think the line is worth a look for at least one kit. The Bunyip Boomerang does much better with only stickers for the eyes(?) so maybe that'd be more up your alley? Then again, I didn't think the Byakuchi would have those odd flaws before I got it, so it's hard to say in the Boomerang might not also have some surprises...
neat review! bit saddened about the thigh design and weaknesses, though i think the kit have a lot of plus points to compensate. with the anime, i wonder with the MC red MAILeS, is Sunrise/Bandai going to be doing the Red Oni/Blue Oni trope with the cast (or Hikaru/Max?). I myself can't get enough with the Bunyips, (folding itself not only for storage, but also as an attack form, neat!) and from what little screen time and promo pics i seen, the other MP AMAIMs is looking to be good too.
I really can't wait to get my hands on a Boomerang next week too. I love the little T-Rex sub arms with the tiny knives like switchblades. The flaws of the kit really are baffling since they really ambush you when everything else about the kit is so lovable. I wonder what circumstances led to them having to keep things as is in the end
Have no idea why but this design looks better than the main suit. Still confused on why it came out first. First episode was pretty good but i want to know more about how the not UN rules over other nations.
I love the Byakuchi too for how it seems more fitted to general combat and has a more serious boxy shape like proper functional equipment. I wonder as well what they'll do with the premise... I sure hope they have something in mind...
The instructions didn't mention it so I'm guessing the truck tells you the details. It looks like the lower torso needs to be rotated, but I can't tell if anything else has to be done other than folding the legs At this rate, I kinda have to show him off in a video some day. He's already butted into every new recent video...
The anime's script, while the content is aimed at the voting population (ahem nationalist at least in episode 1), the quality feels unsubtle and in your head.
Bruh. What is gate, what is guilty crown, what is code geass, what is gundam. Also im disappointed bandai took this long to figure what the actual age demographic their customer are.
@@beefueater4586 Nah. They knew EXACTLY their demographics. That is why you see a slew of UC nostalgia projects and Build projects. Why do you think they keep selling Unucorns.

If Kyoukai Senki is really a nationalist propaganda anime then the unsubtle approach makes sense as they want to send a straight forward message to gullible teens and young adults who are gonna/about to vote.

It fits nicely especially on smaller scale combat vehicles like this and shows you how versatile they're made to be

Yey another Hobby Clubhouse upload!
Thank you as always my man:) This review took way longer than I first planned before I got the kit
You are my fav review from now on.I really love what you did, its so fresh and very informative..
Thank you so much:) There was a lot to explore on this kit too with it being something so new and different
@@HobbyClubhouse To bring up who the mecha designer and artwork artist is a nice touch.People really need to know who they are .

I love the legs on these kits. They look so bestial and like you said, they are pretty realistic to real life robots in the arms and in overall look.
I'm really eager to get a Bunyip Boomerang next week and checking out the legs on that guy (and those cute T-Rex sub arms). The claw foot on the Byakuchi actually looks more realistic than the shoes(?) on the Kenbu
Leave it to bandai to both amaze and baffle us with their design choices lol
It really is odd how the good parts and the bad don't cancel out each other at all so they just coexist in this kit all at once
with this being a basically a preview it gives me great hope for the line as a whole even with flaws. and also all the design give a bit of that turn a wibe for some reason which is a good thing.
Turn A also happens to be the rare Gundam series to have MSes with backwards-bending knees like that... what are they called... the tiny runners with the tails...

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel:)
The Byakuchi was such a different design and refreshing design, it deserved a detailed exploration
I am super excited to see how these kits evolve, these designs are already super cool.
I sure hope the series does well and we get to see later-stage designs and upgrades too
Aight, I kinda love this guy's look! Might just get it to paint it and customize it to look like something from Metal Gear lol
The Bunyip Boomerang and the funky legs look even more Metal-Gear-esque... hm, I wonder if you can mount a rail gun and a raydome onto it
@@HobbyClubhouse
Could be possible the backpack does look like it could fit that type of stuff. Just gotta get the parts
I'm a simple man, I see a hobby Clubhouse video, I watch it.
I chuckled at your user name and the random Chad pic
The mecha designs are super cool.
They really are, especially for how unique they look from Mobile Suits
Excellent review! Can't wait to build this myself!
Thank you so much! Get some glue for that thigh :')
Looks like something that came out of Boston Dynamics . Bought one yesterday just because of this.
The Bunyip Boomerang has Boston Dynamics written all over it too and I love how they look together
in hindsight despite the flaws of the show the model kits were quite awesome in my opinion
ive only built the armored special carrier and its already one of my favorite kits (the playability with rg/mg figures and the gm sniper k9 army figures is awesome!)

I bet if this guy had a shoulder cannon it would look even more like the Duel
Always look forward to hearing your intro, welcomnobbyclubhouse
I chuckled reading that. It really is like that
I have decided that this is going to be my first custom hahaha thanks for the Review

I am looking forward for more Ken Okayama Design collabs ever since they help create the G40 Gundam.
I bet the G40 laid the foundation for this collaboration. They can certainly use some help with some of the oddball Metal Build redesigns...
I've always wanted bandai to use that strategy where the gate meets the part via an embossed detail ( line on the horn ).
that makes it very easy to mask the rest of the part and just sand and buff that embossed part or protrusion detail.

Have you not done the transformation for transport in the vehicle mode?
And can we have a video dedicated to hobby?
The instructions didn't mention it so I'm guessing the truck tells you the details. It looks like the lower torso needs to be rotated, but I can't tell if anything else has to be done other than folding the legs
At this rate, I kinda have to show him off in a video some day. He's already butted into every new recent video...
Very nice
Thank you so much:)
a model kit that aim for adult since there is a decline in birthrate in japan.. that's exactly what the movie is about
so byakuchi is the side story plamo?
subscribed!
How do these weapons fit onto 1/144 hg kits?
They actually fit just fine into modern hands. I didn't think about trying that, I'll definitely include that in the Kenbu review
