Grab this beast of a kit for yourself at hobbylink Japan:

This item is a posable, Real-Grade injection-plastic kit of an item from the Gundam universe.
This is the Sazabi you've been waiting for: the RG realization of the mobile suit piloted by the Red Comet, Char Aznable himself, in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack!"
This Sazabi kit was created in pursuit of a realistic, detailed representation of the mobile suit from the series. Even simple armaments like the arm cylinders and funnels, as well as propulsion mechanisms like the verniers and backpack, have been faithfully recreated.
The mechanisms in this kit and its high range of motion allow for the recreation of a variety of poses from the movie, despite being condensed into 1/144 small scale kit, thanks to the carefully crafted lifelike gimmicks for which the RG line is known.
In addition to several hand parts, this kit includes all of the characteristic armament you'd expect.
Kit includes:
Beam Shot Rifle x1
Beam Tomahawk x1
Beam Saber x2
Shield x1
Funnel x6
Missile x1
Realistic decals

I can’t help but see the Sinanju as a Sazabi that lost weight
dont fat-shame sazabi!
The Sinanju may look like a Sazabi, but it's actually based on the Nu Gundam
you and me both.
The Sinanju is Nu Gundam stealing Sazabi's identity
who doesn't
A note on the shoulder for those yet to build it: Take time to read all the steps for assembling the joint first to get an idea of what is going on. Then rotate the forward/back joint out of the way and use a vice grip or adjustable wrench to press the joint into the torso in with equal pressure from both sides. (Use some buffer material to not dig into the plastic)
just finish torso. shoulder joint really give me goosebump😂. use dishwashing liquid brand sunlight to lubricat it. and perfectly fit. are there side effect cause this is the 1st i use dishwash liquid for super tight joint like sazabi here?
What's the problem? I built mine and had no problems on anything I didn't even have to tighten any joints which was a first since every set of hands I've ever got are always super loose and this was only my 3rd RG and 5th ever kit
Just finished building this, like literally two minutes ago, and HOLY SHIT, I can't stop staring at it, it's sooooooo cool
Good news, the RG Nu Gundam is just as jaw droppingly awesome, I have both locked in eternal battle looking Epic on my shelf
Might try this and Nu, dissapointed with my first 2 RGs, Freedom and Justice, hope this one delivers
did had issues regarding the shoulder joint?
@@ry0usama511lol those were two weak rg’s to start with.
@@superchichu560 I was new to RG back then

nvm
@@ihavethehighground8697 ah,i see you are in 2020
I love what Bandai has been doing with the Real Grade line recently. Tallgeese felt like building a mini master grade, and now we've got the Sazabi that's the SIZE of a master grade, and they both look amazing. The only 2 things I don't like about the RG Sazabi are the shoulder joint (which... admittedly, I don't know how I would design it any better) and the fact that the gold emblem on the shield was a sticker instead of a plated plastic piece like they did with Sinanju or at least a dry transfer.
00:01 well I guess I don't have to watch the video now
I may or may not have worn out your time stamp
Sorry not sorry
Its hilarious
that whole "get it right the first time or you're fucked" thing with the joints also happened to me with one of the shoulder pegs on the master grade full armor gundam from gundam thunderbolt. i went to put it into the torso, and the shoulder peg just snapped.
luckily, i came up with an inventive fix, and it worked, as odd as it is.
i found a bit of runner that matched the width of the peg, cut off a length of it. i cut the length down to an appropriate length, and shaved the sides of it a tiny bit to make it fit into the joint a little easier.
i used a pin vice to drill a hole into the center of the small length of cut and shaved runner, and another hole into the base of where the peg was supposed to attach (after i snipped off the rest of the peg). i inserted a very thin piece of brass rod (which you can find at almost any hobby store) that fit almost perfectly into the drilled hole, and i superglued the half piece i had left, along with the length of runner.
Happened to me as well, I also fucked up the cockpit joint as well. Well that's 100+ bucks wasted lmao, I don't exactly know if I can find people who could have extra parts or even repair it.
RIP Char and Amuro
Two legends Rip
This kit made me look into gundam, and after a month of building and a very angry wallet, my RG Sazabi is finally on the way
bruh my wallet needs amger management therapy at this point lmao
@@justarandomyoutubeuser5074 my wallet is dead at this point
It's glorious? I'll watch it anyway.
Edit: He broke the shoulder joint. Ok now I'm scared.
EfhisMan K6 I feel ya. I pre-ordered this kit being hype all summer. Even seeing it at AX. Now I don't know. But you and I have to be brave.
As he said, be careful and you should be fine
If I'm getting one, I think I might was well put a pin through the peg before assembly. They used the thick type with a lot of holes cut out, which severely reduces the peg's durability
What part on the shoulder joint?
Just fit in the parts as far as they will go and it’ll be fine. Mecha basically assembled the shoulders wrong and he broke it.
I hope you release that speed build video, broken shoulder included.
7:15
Prooving Mecha knows more than the box! XD
We have a #1 for the 2018 list then
Luke Mitchell if the RG Sazabi isnt #1 Id go nuts. its just that good!
Tbh the hguc phenex (gold platted) is gonna release on october....so we need to wait and see.
We cant be sure yet
This kit is good
But there might be even better kits coming out this year
Luke Skytalker
The Gold Plated Phenex? Heck no that’ll have a shit ton of tyranical nubmarks
It had to do the impossible for HG to beat the RG Sasabi.
*oh look mecha gaikotsu noticed my comment*
That’s why you don’t rush build a Real Grade.
I'm still working on the GP01-Fb RG and I've just finished assembling it and panel lines...only to deal with decals. 27 hours and counting...
Jetblast01 just... if you’re doing decals, do them once you’ve finished the limb and not once you’ve done the kit. With waterslides, do them before you’ve even attached the armour plate
I don't have a problem putting decals on a kit with limbs put together on or not. Are waterslides that tricky to do with the plates attached?
Jetblast01 sort of depends, but with waterslides, it’s just a lot easier to on individual pieces rather than limbs. Cannot explain why adequately, but it just is
I took a full week with building my full armor unicorn and just the weapons only took me 3 days. The actual mobile suit took me like 5 days
I just started building gunpla a month ago and I happened to get this as my first one. Hadn't seen this video till now and I gotta say I love this bad boy. I re-painted all the yellow parts gold and turned all the red to a more metallic red. I'm super happy with it and I agree this kit is fantastic out of the box.
Hey Blake, I have the same idea that you had. Could you please tell me what paints you used?
Thank you. I am airbrushing with cherry red and metal red. I wanted to airbrushing. 😊😊
That moment when he cut off the peg in the but flap.. so courageous
Just bought the kit from my local model kit store. What I notice was some parts are thinner than the master grade sazabi. Thanks for the information of this kit. Love your vids :)
Was horrified at the prospect of getting and building this from the initial look at those insane details, but hearing how it wasn't even that difficult to build, I very well might give this a chance! Thanks, Mecha Gaikotsu! You're a tremendous inspiration!
howd it go champ??
@@goobkinpatch Well, it took me 4 years, but it's now sitting pretty on my bookshelf!
I broke the shoulder as well but I ended up fixing it. A tip to prevent it from happening (I did it with the other shoulder) cut a rod out of the runner that fits into the hole of the shoulder peg joint and Cement it in there, essentially reinforcing the hollow joint so it's less likely to shear off.
mecha, as someone who has gotten back into gunpla, i really appreciate your videos. they allow me to be more picky about which gunpla i build these days since im older and i have a lot less space for gunpla. (gave away my old collection years ago and have restarted in the last year). i need this sazabi lol
Was waiting for your review before buying it. Im excited now
Hope you buy from HLJ
Yep, all my kits come from there.
Crazy idea: what if you combined the Sazabi's shield and the Sinanju's shield together? Both keeping the beam axe blade ability.
your the BEST in gundam reviews hands down!
Once a real grade Nu Gundam is announced I will buy both of them in a heartbeat.
You're not alone, my friend
well wish granted, In a month we'll be getting the RG Nu Gundam
I miss your reviews like this. Concise yet informative and without unecessary content.
7:00 law and order (dun dun)
I love how much the green saber stands out against the red
As someone that has started this year - 2024,these old reviews are great because the kits are still available.
I was looking at the Ver ka MG, but this will suffice and I could spend the extra $$$ saved on another kit.
👍👍👍
This is what the RG Sinanju should've been. Well designed with the shiny armor.
the failure of sinanju is what led to this magnificence
to be honest my sinanju never gave me any problems, even if the articulation can be hard to work with sometimes it never failed to pull off any pose i displayied it in.
only issue, I broke the smaller red flap under the back leg thruster but even that was mishandling on my side.
yall need to be gentle with your gunplas if you want them to look good an stay durable (also flat topcoat works miracles for loose joint).
The sinanju didnt fail.
Its looks were great and the fact it was an RG demands extra care from the builder.
Hope they make rg sinanju like this solid sazabi. I really love sinanju but i really hate the way it .
Wise Traveler Yes It dint fail it just dint make it to the mark that the Sazabi has set. Such a shame I would be happy to throw More money at Bandai just to have a new Inner frame for the sinanju. I do have an RG Sinanju I got two actually the first one had problems with the leg joint and the most awful joint the waist joint. So I had to buy a replacement for it. all the issues aside I still think the Sinanju is the most beautiful OOB kit for the RG line
As someone who got sucked into WH40k about three years ago I'm so dissatisfied with where the models and game philosophy is along with the outrageous prices. This is incredible to me and I can't wait to begin the deep dive on this
Have you started now?
After getting into Gunpla and looking back years ago at my short experience with buying WH40k models it's absolutely laughable how much those models cost.
Thx for the good review 👍
I personally think that in term of unique design and engineering, suits from zeon side generally can show more detail and complex kit structure.
And I believe this RG Sazabi can be said as pinnacle of RG quality (at least for now).
How yountranslated from 1/100 into 1/144 without losing the detail... magnificent.
Ordered today. This review sold me.
Wow, the details on this kit are insane! Honestly the best one I've seen as well without extra styling. Hoping they'd do an RG Nu Gundam with the same quality as this.
They did it better imo
So much more articulation!
They did already and the rg nu is amazing
Sazabi is the big bro Michael to Sinanju's Lucifer.
That big red boy looks perfect for a Christmas present
Amazing, i need it. Jesus this gunpla thing is becomin an obsession for me since last year. And im just starting! (only have 3 so far). Thanks for the vid!
I'm really looking forward to a The-O RG now.
First comment, also laughed out loud at the beginning of the video."whispers" its glorious ! Keep up the good work.
This kit definitely deserves all the hype since it was announced.
I'm excited to see what the future of the RG line holds within it. Very excited.
7:00 it was on that moment , Sazabi lost its virginity
Harder
I don't think this "beats the MG Sazabi in every way except for size." The MG Sazabi still has amazing looking silver parts and a really cool armor transformation gimmick that the RG doesn't have. And it would be nice if the the insides of the thrusters were yellow like the MG has.
It still beats the MG's hands. Still hate the ones on mine.
Death Epyon same the hands can’t hold shit besides the beam sabers.
@@papafoundry5537 for me it's just the joints in the wrists.
The MG only looks nice. Its a glorified statue and thats coming from someone who loves it. This thing can actually be posed and fiddled around with
Prefer MG too, but as been stated, it’s basically a statue with very limited posing. This is fine by me as I don’t give a shit about posing, but for those that do, RG is a better (cheaper) option.
Currently building this kit. And the shoulders took me 2 hours to get right. Glad I get in the mind set go slow and steady
I'm gonna get this now because of this review 👍🏼
4:28
Will wait for RG Sazabi OVA version, then.
2:26 sold
You didn't even bother with a clean build of the RG Sazabi, but fucc am I going to buy one now. Thanks, man. No bad suggestions from you as of now. Great vids.
The way Sazabi turned out makes me so excited for the eventual nu gundam
I cant wait for RG Nu Gundam!
Aaah.. I was planning to get myself the MG Sazabi ver.ka after my MG Nu Gundam..
The choice is simple, I’ll get both MG and RG
Rich man
Just got this kit today! Super excited to put this bad boy together
I just received mine in the mail today. I am so excited to get building!!!
More like SazaBEAST! :o
So RG Nu Gundam next?
And while we're at it, only Zeong and Hyaku Shiki to go and you now have all of Char's MS (at least the main/iconic ones) in the RG line.
I don't think they will release a Zeong RG, that design aged veeery badly!
Maybe the "complete" version? That one doesn't look as silly. But yeah, it really isn't "RG" like.
Still looks silly to me, it's a very old design... Zaku's aged well, since they have a steampunk/tank vibe... Zeong on the other hand looks like a cheap '90 Power Ranger alien
I'd fight a (small) bear for a RG Hyaku-Shiki. Its kind of crazy we haven't already had one yet.
@@chaosMonkeyPoo probably it's a "golden" problem.. if they will ever find a way to mold a decent gold (Phenex rg could be near, finger crossed) maybe they'll do Hyaku-Shiki too!
4:38 school in a nutshell
yes
Finally. A video review that dosen't skip showing articulations...
Beam parts are UV responsive btw! This kit is perfection! I pause at least once a day to look at it up on the stand everyday with its dedicated spotlight shining on it! GLORIOUS IS RIGHT!
"This thing outshines the MG in every aspect"
Well, outside of detail, design, overall build, comes with waterslides OOB, LED functionality ect ect ect
MrFlunkorg and the fact of good shoulders
i think the only aspect thats better than the mg is its articulation and stability
MG
-Overly greebled
-worse proportions
- more parts =/= better build (Build PG RX-78-2 and you'll understand)
-LEDs are a stupid cheap gimmick
Waterslides are the one thing the MG has over the RG but we just have to wait until the next batch of waterslides are announced by Bandai
Personally I like the MG more since I'm more of a sucker for 1/100 but this really takes it home at half the price.
The MG has waterslides, if you care and LEDs, if you care. Otherwise RG is way better.
Real Grade best grade.
What about mg?
Thank you, for talking so highly of my Gundam.
i can't wait to get mine :3 btw loved your reviews!
Well now let’s hope that we’re gonna get an RG Nightingale
oh my god yes, along with an rg hi nu
I want to paint this gloss af black for some reason, is that odd? Great video. EDIT- wow google Black Sazabi...(SFW )
Deaths 0079 you could paint anything gloss black and it’d look great.
Sazabi is my all time favorite mecha and I'm super excited to see that it got such an amazing RG kit. I was going to just buy the MG but decided to be patient and see what the RG would be like. So hyped to get my hands on one!
Your missing out if your skipping the MG. Your missing out on a lot.
Curious if you ever got the MG? It’s such a presence on the shelf after all. And if the sazabi is your favourite?
When i first saw the saxabi i genuinely didnt expect it to be so articulate and posable
The sinanju waist joint triggers me.
What would you buy first, RG sazabi or MG qant full saber?
Just got my RG Sazabi a few days ago and its freaking fantastic!
One of the best designed mobile suits ever.
7:01 I cried 😂
When building it myself, I never broke the shoulder joint, and believe me, I can break a lotta jjoints. The rg sazabi's shoulders didn't seem to be very fragile, but I dunno. Probably just got lucky.
Great review! Making me want to buy my own sazabi!
It looks gigantic! Besides, love your review!
Damn that took no time
I think the real grade are sometimes looking a bit different than the animated mobile suit, like a reinvented version to fit more like today's mobile suit
Real grades are supposed to create the “Real thing”
Had mine sitting on the shelf unboxed since about when this vid came out... And spent yesterday finally putting it together. WWWOOOOWWW! Go buy it, go buy it, GO BUY IT!
Very excited to build this kit. Should definitely help pass time during quarantine. Will get the Nu Gundam next week :)
Remember when he was creaming himself over the RG Unicorn? I'm sensing a pattern with you, Mecha :)
You skipped the gimmick wear the wrist pulls out further, as well as the gimmick wear the crotch frame pulls down for the legs and waist.
Yup, the wrist gimmick is great for the shot beam rifle, makes it easier to get good poses
OMG!!! I JUST GOT THIS KIT! I am so hyped. The Gunpla stores are practically non existent here in Costa Rica, however, one of them (ther's 2) brought 3 of these and I GOT ONE!!!
Surprise surprise.....THE KING IS BACK
4:38 omg wtf is thaaaaaaaaat?! Censor that shit! Jesus...
No its the super glue to hold together the waist peg
+Randoman15 damn! I was wondering why it looked so familiar and turns out it was used glue lol thx for telling me. I was already starting to think that his gunpla got a disease lmao
@@thenoobgamer95 your welcome
Does this mean that the best MG and RG is now the Sazabi? Because I don't mind that being the case.
Sazabi and Nu Gundam is the best model kit ever
Just got it for Christmas. I won't have the time to build it for a few months, but I am so much looking forward to it!
First 2 seconds : *It's glorious!*
Me : Aight, that's all I need to know-
Hot tip for anyone posing their Sazabi! If you pull the back forearm armour out the wrist can extend out with a bend. It adds a bit more ease to posing with the Beam Shot Rifle and the Beam Tomahawk. Haven’t seen any reviewers showcase this so here’s the info now. Let’s hope Mecha pins this!
"its glorious !"
no need to watch now HAHA
Absolute perfection 😍
I'm so happy I have this in my back log
I still can’t help liking the MG Ver. Ka. more. It has more detail, better proportions (in my opinion, at least), the Long Rifle, waterslides, guaranteed good shoulder joints, better panel opening gimmicks, etc.
Still getting this though.
I always fail to understand why people would want to buy the real grade variant when they have the master grade already. It’s such a waste of moola. Real grades to what i believe, are usually for people who cannot afford the master grade but want something closer to that yet being more Budget friendly. Master grade definitely triumphs real grade or lower any day, that’s why it costs a lot more. But of course for eg, the date of where it first released plays a part. For instance, real grade strike freedom being a recent release have so much better gimmicks than the mg since the mg have no 2.0 yet. But I’m certain when that day happens, the 2.0 will be leaps and bounds better than the real grade. That’s not to say the real grade is not good though. It is anything but bad. Just that if you have the money, mg is the way to go.
Dragon Slayer1234
The reason why people buy RG kits when they already have the MG variants (at least for people like me) is for the experience of the build. RG kits with MG counterparts aren’t built the same as their counterparts. If not for the build, it’s for the differences in design. It doesn’t take hours of observation to find tons of differences. Some people may like the design of the RG more than the MG’s design. Even the RG Gundam Mk. II and the HG Mk. II have differences in proportions and some can prefer the RG and some can prefer the HG.
Pigeon X-18999 its natural for different people to have different views on the stated matter. I understand and i respect your opinion. I just personally feel its a waste of money to have 2 figures of the same suit!
I guess they learned from the sinanju then.
After rrobbert184, this is another gunpla review channel that I will watch to decide which gunpla kit to buy. Great review, keep it on. 😊

I just finished making me today! Absolutely a fantastic build!! And he's a beast! I'd recommend getting this guy!
did u have trouble about the shoulder issue? im a bit afraid of getting but I really like to get one
@@gabrielclemente9129 I don't remember having any issues back then. I'd top coat before assembly .
I cant find one
Your making me jealous
I'm pretty sure usagundamstore has em
Outshines the Ver Ka Mg?, weu I want some of that stuff you are smoking
Got mine in the mail yesterday!!! Got a Schwalbe Graze 1/100 and a Rayleonard Alicia Unsung still yet to build. Probably saving this Sazabi for last as it is my dream kit!
just perfect the way he comes😍
Rg Nu Gundam please Bandai.
Jake Theberge not bandai but p bandai
That Boy or daban 😂😂
That Boy if they do I’ll be furious. As if the PG Seven Sword on the 30th Anniversary of CCA wasn’t disappointing enough
I am sure if they do a RG Nu gundam they are going to reuse another RG frame
@@abrokenemmo9254 nooooooooooo
Only if rose chose this version instead of the MG one I episode 19 of Build Divers.
Yeah and when they show her building it that fast , it's fantasy . It took me 5 hours , but he's glorious but I also think and know the rg is a masterpiece sazabi xd
Best RG kit ever!!
i just finish biulding this kit yesterday 14/05/21.gladly i did not broke anything🙂🙂.i dont even know that that joint easily broken,just now. by watching this review..its an awesome kit..more power to you mechagaikotsu ..,
