All hail MG Deathscythe
Yass
Please do not consider the MG 3.0 RX-78 as a (Must Build). The kit looks good coming out of the box, but a month after building it becomes a weak jointed piece of junk. The MG 2.0 RX-78 is so much the better choice. Build is solid and no issues with joints weakening over time.
Still strong 6 years later at least
As a Gundam newbie, I really enjoyed building the MG Gundam Wing Ver.Ka and MG Barbatos!
Same
Barbatos in my top 3
Cool!
Try Age 1. Super simple yet rigid af.
I highly recommend the MG Ball. To me, it's one of the best MGs due to its simplicity and high level of detail. It also is a great beginner MG.
And you cannot beat the price
#BallSupremacy
I have the HG ball and i want to buy the MG version too
But it's hard to find that kit in italy now... i will have to wait and find it out
Nice!!
ZZ Ver Ka is definitely a must build.
I'm with you there.
i had it build already.its awesome.even i did not put decals on it..😊
FAZZ is also a must build. But expensive
@@JericoLeslie yes it is..someday i will get my hands on it...
I think imma get it as my first mg
Sword Impulse gundam. With the sword staff with effect parts on is one hell of shelf piece.
The hands are pretty bad tho..
@@saabastiana4111 yep. It needs a 2.0
Too dated, better kits out there as just build mgs.
Just bought and built that. Little flawed, but all minor stuff. 8.5/10
GM Sniper 2 . You get a great kit and it's not to complicated.
MG Jegan, simple construction with great parts-separation, and the MG GM Sniper Custom (if you can find it) looks amazing, is solid, and comes with many great accessories. 😁
trying to find one.........:(
@@hardyhuang7791hopefully Bandai finds the time in their busy schedule to reproduce the kit, hands down one of the best (of course that's my subjective opinion 😂)
@@Z.FA89 yeah trying to add to my GM team, sniper II n turbulence so far....
@@hardyhuang7791 I missed out on any of the Turbulence variations and regret it, they look like awesome kits 👍
@@Z.FA89 well it's so expensive. I like it but I still don't know if it's really worth it considering it's doubled the price of sniper ii. I know at least one shop that still has turbulence/ storm ringer f.a
The comment about the Barbatos being heavily slanted towards the frame build makes sense with how much IBO leaned into Gundam Frames instead of just the Gundam
Mg dynames I have never had so much fun with a kit since
Agreed, was one of my favorites as well.
i wanna get one but the price is ridiculous nowadays
I picked up a Sinanju Stein Ver Ka yesterday from a local guy’s backlog for $60. Had to show my wife your video lol.
Proud of myself for having built nearly all of these kits. Turn A and Turn X are some of the best builds. If you ever see either I definitely agree that you need to snag it and build it.
I've literally built all of them.... I clearly have too much money lmao the turn a is good but I prefer the turn x, to the extent that I've bought 2 so I can do a custom build on it.
I'm surprised the MG Age kits didn't make the cut, especially the Age 1 Normal and Age Spallow
Age 1 mgs sure, age 2 probably not, those shoulder joints be weak.
I would recommend the age 2 from build divers though they've changed a decent amount of the inner frame including those terrible shoulders and I'm pretty sure they've sorted out the leg issue too. I wish they'd re-release the double bullet with that upgraded inner frame. P.s. The double bullet comes with the wings of the age 2 normal so can be used for custom builds or you can have them on the kit with the cannons, only thing missing is the dods rifle sadly
@Emperor Maoh Shin Chandelier Mirage Yeah it sucks, they used to be a dime a dozen back in the day. I bought mine for 25 bucks at one point
Whatever design you think it cool. For me It would be MG Nu ver ka
definite must build is the Freedom 2.0, great detail, articulation, gimmicks and value for money, only thing to look out for are the hip joints
Mg infinite justice and ver ka Nu were some of the best kits that were so much fun to build.
agree on the infinite justice, was a tad better than the strike freedom
The MG Psycho Zaku, after building the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka.
Definitely loving these lists and I'm hoping you have more in the future. Maybe a list of your top kits per review category perhaps?
Also, I'm feeling a weird sense of accomplishment having built the first couple of kits on this list. Really looking forward to getting my hands on a Jesta Shezarr type and now due to this video, a Hyaku Shiki in the future.
I've built hundreds of gundam kits, and the Sazabi Ver. Ka is truly the best one I've put together. The detail is astounding, the build is fantastic and enjoyable throughout. Only downside is it is "questionable" on an action base, but I've had one posed nicely in a "flying" combat pose for over 4 years and it has yet to crush the action base (even though it wobbles back and forth whenever I walk past it, lol)
Wasn't expecting the ball but I cannot argue with it being on the list.
It isn't cheap at all. $52 on Amazon.
The sazabi ver Ka was my first gunpla, back in 2014 after noticing sazabis head, in the thumbnail of mecha gaikotsu's best mg 2013 video, which I then watched and got interested in gunpla
I actually just built the MG Astray Red frame Kai not two weeks ago, and was blown away. Not only was it my first MG, but the level of detail on the inner frame, and armor you can get to show through is mind blowing. Super solid build aside from it's little side skirts at the waist (every Astray I've dealt with has that issue). Phenomenally fun build, and has me looking to get many more MG kits.
grunt suits have the best MG. be it for beginner or advanced.
gm 2.0, jegan, gm sniper, sniper custom, gm command, jesta, zaku 2.0, gouf 2.0, marasai, gelgoog, geara doga, ball ver ka. honorable mention to zaku warrior from seed.
proud to be grunt suit stans
Mobile Ginn is also good.
Don’t forget the MG Nemo!!! It predates the MG MKII 2.0 but shares all of the same build quality and is what I consider the first “2.0 Era” kit.
The MG burning/god gundam from G Gundam was a lot of fun to build. It also was the first in my experience to involve using actual screws to the joints. It was fun to build because of that.
Hands down mg rx78 2.0, has no issues and still holds up
The one kit everyone needs to but and I mean 100% everyone should build one MG sazabi Ver.Ka I know that price point is hard for some but man is it one of the best builds
Can’t wait to build this. I think the sazabi in general is the sickest model out there. I’ve seen so many customized versions I feel like the possibilities are endless.
It's damn near perfect. Personal favorite kit in my collection, even if it's not one of my favorite mobile suits.
Yess, the gimmick feels incredible
tbh, mechanical clear sazabi ver ka is very cool esp if you enjoy seeing inner frame details and willing to paint the inner frame
A friend has it and when I got to hold and inspect it, it was a floppy piece of shit for how much it costs. Probably has to do with how long he's had it but screw that. I'd rather get the RG, smaller and at a better price with better posing. I don't have the space either.
I personally highly recommend the MG ZZ gundam. I LOVE it!!!!
Excellent list. I think the only thing that I would add is if you get ANY Ver Ka kit, it should be the ZZ Ver Ka. The transformation is incredible, so solid in all modes, and there's detail on every square centimeter of the suit. Gorgeous and sharp and perfect from every angle.
So glad to see the GX on your list, nice simple build but super solid and looks fantastic.
I loved the Master Grade Turn A as a really unique construction. The Zaku II 2.0 has probably my favorite inner frame, and is a kit that has tons of room for customization while also looking great just snap built together.
Tieren Ground Type. Most underrated Gunpla EVA. Crazy value for money, too.
It's not an MG, it's a NG 1/100. It is an incredible build though!
I'm currently building the f-91 2.0, with delpi decals and I got to say that kit is just beautifully awesome, having a blast building it.
MG Dynames and Kyrios are a must from me. Combination of solid build, great articulation, and great colour separation on both. Only complaint is they don’t have the LEDs included but they don’t need them to look good
I finished the RX-78-2 Gundam kit this morning. I had started last night but decided to wait and finish it tonight but I couldn’t sleep from thinking about it 😂😂. I’m hooked
Master grade Providence. 100% my favorite master grade of all time. The decals are perfect, the effect part for the shield/sword is amazing, and the kit is incredibly solid for such a bulky design.
Turn A is one of my favorite series. Ive been looking for both Turn A and Turn X kits. Glad they made your list!
My husband has a large collection of Master Grade but his main thing was making scenes!
his favorite Master grade kits were general purpose mobile suits Zakus,Gouf,GMs,Gundam Ground types etc etc!
he loves to make them look like WW2 paint designs! i love the way he makes his look!
I found at least 3 kits from this video that I’m buying. You put together a great list so thank you for that!!
The F91 2.0 is probably my favorite MG
It is totally awesome
I have it, but his head feels so janky :(
It's such a good kit...should be on the list
Tbh they both are great builds! The 1.0 still holds up mostly, but the 2.0 has better parts separation AND space for LED. Plus the variants we've gotten have been amazing.
@@porkflaps4717 Not on the list doesn't mean it's bad.
Hyaku Shiki 2.0 is such a good kit, I'm genuinely surprised it doesn't show up in more top 10 lists
astray is at the top of my list for must haves, no matter how many times I build it, its always fun, and I've always loved the simple sleek design of it, and the gerbera adds a samurai vibe to it
Gundam MK II 2.0, simple and quick build but with a huge payoff, looks great and has nice features like pistons and sliding armor
I would also recommend the MG Alex 2.0. It is a very solid build (probably also based on the grand daddy frame) and it comes with a boat load of accessories. I love that you get the whole armor, which comes with its own innerframe. So you can apply the armor in multiple stages
I'd reccommend the 1.0, too. Still a good kit. Solid, & not too fiddly.
Very nice list. I hope to see something like this for other grades as well (HG should be interesting considering how many there are)
I love that 00 is finally getting the Master Grade treatment! i think there is so much untapped potential from 00. there are so many master grades i would love to see from the 00 series. so many of the mobile suit designs were interesting and unique and each faction had their own sort of style. and not to mention all the villain Gundams/Mobile Suits.
I just love how the MG Turn A comes with a little 1/100 cow.
A few of the kits I was already thinking about before watching, the GX and Double X are in my top 5 for designs and I really enjoyed both builds.
I just got into this hobby and I gotta say these videos are a godsend. I'm getting a perfect grade exia for Christmas and I'm trying to bridge my skill gap so to speak.
MG Dynames has been one of my favorite kits I have built. Good articulation and solid build with unique weapons and cool wings. One of my favorites for sure
I would recommend the Psycho Zaku, Dom (or Rick Dom any Dom is good), Jesta, Gelgoog, any of the Astrays, and the granddaddy.
Building the Psycho Zaku right now. It’s a fun build but those tiny gold pieces are a b!&@#. I lost a couple (flew out of my fingers while cleaning the nubs) and had to fabricobble some replacements from the runners.
@@ick5353 Luckily I've never had that happen to me, but do be VERY careful with the pipings. Those plastic coverings are fragile asf.
@@Armyoffreaks123 yeah I realized that when both the large size ones ripped right down the seam as I was scrunching them. Luckily a thin strip of packing tape on the inside of the cover worked well enough to keep them intact and was flexible to allow me to get them to work. I’m going to check my local hardware store to see if there’s any sort of plastic/rubber sleeve that I can replace those covers with for a more robust and, frankly, better looking solution.
@@ick5353 man I didn't even think of that! I just did the trick where if you don't look close enough, you wont notice the tear of the plastic piping.
I would also say the the Nu Ver Ka. It’s a difficult build but man once it all comes together it’s so damn cool and has so much presence
Thanks a lot, Zaku Aurelius. I like your video. Very informative. After seeing it, I got myself a Sazabi Ver. Ka. Those models you shared, I agree. I have most of them as my MG collection as well. ,✌️
Weirdly enough I would add the original MG RX78-2 from 1995. Not because it's particularly great but because it makes you realize just how much gunpla has improved over the years and it's still pretty cheap. (Or at least it was when I built mine last year)
Good point!
Mg sazabi ver ka is a must build out of all the MG.
I have been building gunpla since 1997 when first mg came out. I still remember buying each MG as it released.
Actually thinking about it, MG zeong or perfect zeong is so much fun to build, different to other MG and it has layers of details.
Nailed the list Dude!!! Can't think of any you missed, possible MG Zgok.
Currently working on my MG collection and so far I have 6. The kits I recommend that are must builds by far would be the Freedom 2.0, Hyaku Shiki 2.0, and Wing Zero EW Ver Ka. All AMAZING builds and each of these always come up on comments or subreddits.
For my picks, i'd go for the Tallgeese, Zaku Lunamaria Gunner and the Z-Gok (mostly because of how unique it looks), with the VerKa Sazabi and Psycho Zaku with the harness on the top of the list.
The MG Justice Gundam too. Same frame as the Freedom and just the anesthetics and overall look of the kit is really cool.
Lol anesthetics
the MG Acguy is still a nice kit despite its age to the point the inner-frame inspired the HGUC version's engineering, it even comes with effects parts, still wondering why we haven't got a MG Beargguy.
Only things I'd throw in there is the Mg Acguy and Guntank, two just incredible, unique builds that are a joy
+1 for the acguy. That's one big boi.
@@papaengot i was surprised at the bulk once fully built and the weight in hand. It's a very solid kit that gets overlooked
Those were two master grades i never expected to build and they surprised me once i did. They're super underrated since they're not main suits, but the build rivals some of the top tier master grades.
MG ACGuy for sure. I haven't built a Guntank yet and don't want to shell out 200 USD for one right now.
@@charlesgao2179 $200?!! Who the hell comes up with these prices 😂
My top 5 must build MGs are:
1. RX78- Gundam the origin.
2. Mg Dynames (or any of the 00kits after that)
3. Barbatos, definitely
4. Sazabi ver ka
5. Toss up between the buster or the astray (red or blue)
Or if you dont like how basic the gundam buster and astray is, and just prefer grunts, zaku ii for zeon and sniper 2 or custom for efsf..
Of the mentioned kits I have the Barbatos, Geara Doga, and Buster, and they were all fun builds. Though I will say every time I touch the Buster, a different piece falls off. The MG I'm most excited for is the Virtue, though. Hoping it comes with a million clear bits so you can pose it shedding its armor.
Kotobukiya Zoid was my first build. It was just as satisfying as building a racing drone.
Out of the few I've built, I'd recommend the Astray Red Frame Kai. Amazing mechanics, great extras and a really good experience overall. Also the F91 2.0, which has pretty good build experience and allows for LED too in a simple way. And finally the Crossbone X1 Ver. Ka, which is one of the most modern Ver.Ka and has also the pieces to make it the Skull Heart.
Really good list btw!
this was my first ever kit, had fun building it
The arms on my Kai keep falling out and I don’t know why
I have the Red Frame Kai, and I cannot pose the thing with that sword worth a damn. It will not hold onto it in any way that looks natural.
Glad to see you recommend the Double X.
the latest mg wing zero ew ver ka is a must build in my opinion, besides that I highly agree with this list
But the price tho
@@user-il1md5sc9q lets not talk about that 😂😂

@@carenthusiast9255 same
I've now built three of the kits on this list, being the Barbatos, Buster, and Freedom, and I thoroughly enjoy building all of them
The older MKII 2.0 MG would be on my list. It's an affordable MG, I got mine for ~$32 at the time of purchase, it has a simple but enjoyable build process with some nice sliding armor in the legs that allows for great posing, and is quite solid. Also, it comes with its own launch deck base which most other kits lack.
Jesta is like a GM on steroids
Honestly, a gundam with a GM head plopped on top.
Zaku II FZ RE/100. a must for any level. it has the simplicity of a HG, but has the details and sturdyness of a MG. The color looks amazing out of the box so wether you want to paint it or not it already looks great.
totally agree with you !! i have some of theses kits, and damn i loved building them and now admiring and posing them !
My personal favorites probably MG Dynames, MG 00 Qan(T) Full Saber, MG Heavyarms and MG Crossbones full-cloth
Links ma.k videos and your videos can never be too long. I just ordered a bunch of ma. K kits and I’m so excited and I’m gonna watch links videos on how to glue and paint and hopefully that will Segway me into painting warhammer 40k
Awesome!
@@ZakuAurelius thanks for guiding me back into gunpla. I used to do the kits way back when gundam wing was on toonami and the kits were not what they are today. I did the kits with no tools just some scissors to get the parts off the runner(I was 11) after watching your gunpla for beginners guide I went and bought 6 HG and one MG(the talgeese which is a great kit, but one of the integral leg inner frame pieces broke and it’s been a nightmare trying to get it replaced.)
Zup Zack, nice list, I myself have built a few of them, and I will be building some from your suggestions as well, I would’ve preferred to see the names written down but I guess I can always come back to this video for reference. Thank bro. Shalom!
Good suggestion! I’ll include text in the next one 👍
Great list. For the Zaku I went with the Shin Matsunaga Custom Ver 2.0 because I absolutely love it in a soft white and gray. Sad there were no Doms here. The Rick Dom kit was quite fun, and looks amazing.
Best one I have ever built was definitely the Shiki 2.0, I agree with the freedom as well however I think the Shiki was the most fun to build of any kit.
Thabks for the guide, you have gained a new subscriber!
1/100 squad checking in. You nailed the list man I searched for something I felt was left out but couldn't find anything!
I like the zaku warrior out of the bunch of zakus, the way they did the piping was cool
I personally went with the RX-78 Ver Ka, and most of my MGs are from 08th MS Team or Unicorn. But I do have some random kits like the Johnny Ridden Custom, a Strike Gundam with a massive arsenal, and the Ex-S Gundam that buckles under its own weight.
I just put together the MG Deathscythe Hell EW as my last of 2021. Man, for being a 2011 kit, that one REALLY made me appreciate new kits and new plastic. I recommend everyone build one of them simply to get the same level of appreciation to new kits.
Only kit I've had the shoulder joint seize up and snap off while assembling it the plastic is brittle af compared to newer kits.
Really love the MG EX-S. I don't think it's at the top but the kit just has such an extreme presence and aside from the large amount of screws used, it feels like an MG from the current year despite the age.
The MG Zeta 2.0 (and variants) is absolutely a must build. I just wish they included the LED on the tail binder, the slots on the rear skirt for stowing the beam rifle, and the landing gear on the hyper mega launcher, like they did on the original MG Zeta.
I love my buster &duel, Jesta, my addition to the list would be my first Mg MkII titans colour 2.0
The MG Gundam RX-78-2 3.0 and MG Gundam Barbatos (both Gundam Base Limited Clear Color ver.) was the very first kits that i built and it was so much fun!
RX-78-2 2.0, ZZ VerKa, Nu and Sazabi VerKa, Kyrios/Dynames, MGEX Unicorn, and Strike RM are probably my list, different reasons for each but all are the pinnacle of what they aim to be. Strike RM and 2.0 are show accurate and great kits, ZZ has a fantastic transformation, the new 00 frame is the best for posing and playing around with, and Sazabi/Nu are excellent shelf candy with tons of detail and complex builds
Sinanju Stein, Fazz Ver.Ka, Dynames, Freedom 2.0, Justice, GM Sniper II, Sazabi Ver.Ka, any Zaku 2.0, RX78 Origin. F90 is another highly recommend one for me, even if it is PB.
The MG. Wing Zero EW Ver. Ka is maybe my favorite kit, just looks so majestic
I'm currently building the freedom 2.0 mg that you mentioned and I love it
I would recommend the Sinanju Stein, I love it, I love how it looks and the build is pretty nice. I looks impressive. Nice videos, I like this format a little better. Greetings from MX
So glad I did this.. I wanted to build a real grade zaku II cause it looked so good but you guys are saying that’s a big no no .. thank you 🖤
Thank you for the recommendation!
Mg Hyaku shiki 2.0 is a must have, out of the fifty or so gunpla I’ve built, this is the king of them all. It has a simple build, cool design, amazing looking gold, lot’s of detail, phenomenal articulation, solid structure and a satisfactory amount of accessories which is made up for in what you can actually do with them (aka storage). It may be a little pricier then most mg’s, but it is worth every penny.
Double X was my first kit. Absolutely love it.
2.0 shiki coating is the superior gold coating and I wish Bandai would use it more than the chrome gold plating
I know it’s a Titans mobile suit but if you want a zeon styled master grade, the marasai is a great kit.
I’ve also heard great things about the MG double zeta and Fazz, haven’t built one myself though
& I can’t wait for more master grade ibo
ZZ is a blast, the legs are an experience of themselves
Sazabi Ver Ka and Nu Ver Ka. Two beautifully designed kits. Also the 00 Raiser (my favorite MS).
Turn X is one of the best builds ever
Your pfp raise many questions
Surprised you didn’t mention the MG Qan[t] while talking about OO kits,since it’s also a pretty good Model kit
