in the anime, the blade of sword usually gets broken / explodes, and he uses the hilt to attach another blade stored in its skirt weapon rack (only uses one at a time)
I bought this and the Barbatos from the same line and something about these kits, especially the barbatos makes these an absolute joy to paint. I didn't do anything special but take some spraypaint and Metalic paint markers. Still somehow the Full Mechanics Barbatos was the most enjoyment i have had in custom painting a kit and is probably one of my best looking as I'm not to great at painting kits in the first place. I suspect the distinct inner frame, obvious piping of said frame, and easily distinguishable armor plating make it idiot proof in painting. I haven't had the polycap problem but I have had these dedicated on action bases since build. They have maintained integrity since being made several years ago. I feel these are good, big kits to practice doing wacky things with as far as customization goes without breaking the bank.
Gabriel Agapito well you cannot blame bandai for story cause they technically don't make this anime, the one who make gundam franchise are sunrise and to be more specific the writer of the IBO main story are Mari Okada
Hope your build went better than mine, I was drunk building this figure and sliced my left finger and tendon. So me and Gealio both have scars from what we believed were friends, but hey, the Gundam is badass
For those curious: I was using one of those cheap box cutter knives because i couldn't find my nippers. Six stitches at 1am in the ER i have learned; Do not Gunpla and Drink
Hm, so I was thinking with watching this, I wonder if it's worthwhile to 3D print some replacement "polycaps", being of a stiffer plastic might help it
It's just a matter of time until we get this released in MG. I'm definitely getting this one. This, along with BLR, Reginlaze Julia, and Astaroth Origin/ Rinascimento were my favorite IBO designs, although I think the Vidar would have been better with a flat bladed sword, preferably a single edged one.
Just built this kit in 2022, and it's already my favorite. Vidar caught my attention as soon as I saw it in IBO, I knew I had to have one. I don't have any new MG to compare to though. All I've built are HG kits, and a couple old Gundam Wing MGs.
Yeah i got Surf Shark but Netflix doesn't give you subtitles or a English translation so you are stuck watching it in Japanese... which i cannot understand
2:10 Given that Bandai made the MG ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 4] and is releasing the _Expansion Set_ that includes parts to make Form 1, 2, 3, 5, 5 Ground Type, and 6... I think it's pretty much a given that Bandai intends to reuse the _Gundam Frame_ inner frame to make more MGs from IBO.
so the things that i noticed were missing are 1 Rapier blade, and a pair of hands that don't have the joint in the hand. This kit only came with one rapier handle so no duel welding action and the extra pair of hands you had to switch the blue hand covers between each, so 6 hands and only 4 covers
Old video but informative... I recently obainted this kit and am currently working on it. I have mixed feelings about it, as mine is kind of a mixed bag. Some of the fit especially where the lower hydraulics are concerned were a PITA with mine. Definitely not the MG Barbatos quality if that's what anyone's looking for if they plan to build the Vidar. IMO, this kit reminds me of a mix between a no grade kit and qn HG kit. No one apparently makes a set of water slide decals for it that I've been able to find. This particular Gundam IMO, needs an MG version m, which we'll probably never see because Bandai is more concerned with popping out kits of 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the same kits over and over. Like the 1/100 Astray Golden Frame Mina, this is a kit I wish Daban would pick up on if Bandai isn't going to do an MG version. Also, this Vidar kit is selling at qbsurd prices for whatever reason. I hope the Bael that I have in the stash is a better kit.
Hopefully MG Kimaris goes first before the Expansion sets of an upgraded versions. Except the color of the inner-frames lavender and black depending on the proper kit.
imagine my dude being a mg and they just use the "side skirt" and all the thrusters and there are just a bunch of rocket effects for them might as well just call him "rocket gundam" like literally *MY MAN IS ROCKET POWERED*
Mecha, I'm still waiting about that Gusion Rebake review... Also I'm pretty sure that the side skirts holding Vidar's Burst Sabers can extend for a saber drawing pose.
Hey Mecha Gaikotsu thought of a nice video for info purposes. Why not go through all the real grade kits that you have or have built and give a rundown of how they've held up over time. Like what kits suffer from e.r.s. the worst to the ones that are still holding up. Just a thought. Also how has the rg quantal held up. Does it suffer the e.r.s. bad? Curious cause was thinking of making it my first full airbrush paint project.
How does this compare to the high grade considering that survived a fall off of a building? I know stuff like color separation will probably be worse but how does the articulation compare?
Hello its me vidar fm owner after 6 years later, its hard to stand up right. But still can hold it's foot with base. Overall great if mg ever come would gladly buy one.
IF ONLLLYYYYYY, we had a mg vidar or bael that used the gundam frame from the mg barbatos, cause personally i prefer the bael design the most, followed by vidar, and then the barbatos lupus
![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Who's here finding out that there is MG Vidar in 2025?
So excited
LESS GOOO
Vidar: "I wish I was a master grade. Then I can get all those cool gimmicks like Barbatos. Oh and look awesome while kicking his chassis."
Well now
Vidar can't stand properly because Gaelio lost his legs.
Oh shit that went dark fast...
Damn......
Rip Gaelio's leg
He lost his legs on the final battle right?
@@rezaxsyam its more of his ability to walk, yeah lost his legs
Best vpn ad I've ever watched xD
My favorite IBO design and an absolute instant buy when the MG gets announced.
Same
But i guess we will get Lupus Before that
I hope MG Vidar will be released after MG Flauros
P-Bandai just like Metal Robot Damashii Vidar hahahaah
Ditto. I hope that they do a Bael too, it’s my fave design
1:44 Lucario's Mobile Suit then, Fighting and Steel Type
Every mobile suit is a fighting/steel type
Still waiting for a Cobalion based mobile suit
Ethan Rivera simply yes
They just announced the MG Vidar today for March 2025 release.
If memory serves there is only one sword handle, so everything was preset for the review lol.
Yeah, I don’t remember it having two rapier swords, especially given that sword style really isn’t well suited to duel-wielding
@@daltonwilliams1723 Got one on my shelf and still have the box, he indeed only comes with one handle.
Yeah, I just built one and it has one handle.
Just one

The only titans slaying anime I know is zeta gundam.
Ye what’s attack on Titan lol
Vidar is one of my favorite designs and really wish he had more show time, you barely see him fight
Blame bandai for the rushed writing. They pretty much just put out shows to promote the model kits, in turn the model kits promote the show.
Gabriel Agapito well you cannot blame bandai for story cause they technically don't make this anime, the one who make gundam franchise are sunrise and to be more specific the writer of the IBO main story are Mari Okada
“I WISH I WAS A MASTER GRADE” Oh he is already!
Spooky's back! Get the VPN!
(writes "VPN" in marker on a magazine, rolls it up)
*SMACK SMACK* Bad net gremlin!
What
You're not gonna believe this, Mecha.
Hope your build went better than mine, I was drunk building this figure and sliced my left finger and tendon. So me and Gealio both have scars from what we believed were friends, but hey, the Gundam is badass
How?
How sharp are your nippers!?
@@heccnutlordofmemes4890 My dude was drunk. He probably mistook his finger for the cockpit and tried to nip them. Idk, even he doesn't remember.
Lmao
For those curious: I was using one of those cheap box cutter knives because i couldn't find my nippers. Six stitches at 1am in the ER i have learned; Do not Gunpla and Drink
Hm, so I was thinking with watching this, I wonder if it's worthwhile to 3D print some replacement "polycaps", being of a stiffer plastic might help it
Depends, if you're using a regular FDM 3d printer then the layer lines could act like a file or sandpaper and get looser over time
Man the amount of MGs we don't have from ibo is staggering. This and Kimaris a must buy if MG comes out.
2025
Anybody here after MG vidar was announced? Come one i know I'm not the only one here. 😂
Correct, and I can't wait to see how those changes to the inner frame improve the posability
Update a mg Vidar has just been announced!!!
"A blast from the past"
Please do review of MG Granddaddy 2.0 and Turn A. That will be cool for you!
Am I the only one that actually enjoyed watching someone plug an advertisement in their video that was beautiful
“I wish I was a Master Grade.” You called? (Snaps finger) We got a MG Vidar coming in 2025!
Happy about it!
9:10 Vidar having a hangover. Poor cockpit must've been littered with beer cans.
ITS NO LONGER A WISH. MG LIVES
wish granted 4 years later. you are now a master grade
the title ages so well
What a coincidence...
I finally got around to panel lining my Vidar today!
It's just a matter of time until we get this released in MG. I'm definitely getting this one. This, along with BLR, Reginlaze Julia, and Astaroth Origin/ Rinascimento were my favorite IBO designs, although I think the Vidar would have been better with a flat bladed sword, preferably a single edged one.
"I wish it was MG" welp, here we are
5:25 I bought this kit almost two years ago and now he's struggling to stand up straight just like in your vid XD
I demand you drop this off a balcony like with the HG.
I remember this lmao. I got mad at first but realized that it landed on soft grass, so its aight
"If you love me let me goooooooh"
OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN LISTENED BOOIIII
I cant fathom how you got permission from your wife to collect hundreds to thousands of gunpla, MechaGaikotsu-
Oh wait, i never noticed that he hasn't review this before :V
Yeah, he did review the HG tho
Just built this kit in 2022, and it's already my favorite. Vidar caught my attention as soon as I saw it in IBO, I knew I had to have one. I don't have any new MG to compare to though. All I've built are HG kits, and a couple old Gundam Wing MGs.
1:43 I don't believe that for a second.
When I deciced to start building gunpla, this was the VERY FIRST one I bought. LOVE the colors and the design.
damn i was just looking at the hg review before i realized the 1/100 review finally came out
I thought he already reviewed this kit xP I guess I bought and built this after viewing the HG vidar review xP
Lol me too
9:17 that's not drunk vidar. That's Jojo's Vidar.
Yeah i got Surf Shark but Netflix doesn't give you subtitles or a English translation so you are stuck watching it in Japanese... which i cannot understand

@xxnike629xx I also think it's pretty much a given that you'll still refuse to build a kit again because you're still a *COWARD* 💩💩💩💩💩
Remember the time he threw his HG Vidar off the balcony?
I remember!
so the things that i noticed were missing are 1 Rapier blade, and a pair of hands that don't have the joint in the hand. This kit only came with one rapier handle so no duel welding action and the extra pair of hands you had to switch the blue hand covers between each, so 6 hands and only 4 covers

Can you do a review for mg buster ? I know you have build it already!
Hopefully MG Kimaris goes first before the Expansion sets of an upgraded versions. Except the color of the inner-frames lavender and black depending on the proper kit.

Mecha, I'm still waiting about that Gusion Rebake review...
Also I'm pretty sure that the side skirts holding Vidar's Burst Sabers can extend for a saber drawing pose.
I can already imagine Mecha reviewing the low awaited but not yet existing Master Grade Vidar
I love the effort you put on the dog part lol
Can I just say: I deeply respect your attitude to sponsored videos. I do like how they are fun bits of fluff.
Oh lol, funny thing is i just ordered this kit yesterday, it'll be my second kit. Pretty nice to see a lil preview of it now, haha.
Master Grade Vidar is something I would die for.
So where is the discord to enter this contest? I don't see it anywhere

I would love to join the contest, just did a project even tho I'm a newb and sorry but I can't do the patreon.
I still support you
Love your vids
@MechaGaikotsu I heard the nepteight gundam has been released, are you going to review the kit?
And there we go. Finally, we got the master grade announcement.
Guess what? Your wish will be granted. Who's waiting for March 2025 MG Vidar?
Well, what about supergluing NOT the plastic joint, BUT the polycap joint? So it would harden and won't stretch?
"ALL THE GUNDAM!" And a bit of beastars as well
Lol! I just remembered the hg vidar that fell from your balcony back when you were jn japan hahahahhah!
Bro he threw it out the window. I was MAD, but it aight it dropped on soft grass lol
Vidar has such an awesome design even the HG version looks great. Hopefully it gets a MG kit so it can be just as awesome as MG Barbatos.
Hey Mecha, are you getting the Metal Robot Damashii Vidar some time soon?
How does this compare to the high grade considering that survived a fall off of a building? I know stuff like color separation will probably be worse but how does the articulation compare?
Best advertisement ever
Mg vidar is coming in 2025
This aged well...
Hell yeah! Now review the 1/100 Gusion Rebake!
What are your thoughts on the Metal Robot Spirits Lupus Rex and Vidar, and will you be doing reviews on both?
NOW THE MASTER GRADE IS COMING
Been waiting for this one. Great video Mecha
Hello its me vidar fm owner after 6 years later, its hard to stand up right. But still can hold it's foot with base. Overall great if mg ever come would gladly buy one.
How 'bout making a video of you unboxing that who' s that gundam box? Would definitely watch that bro😂😂
For me I’m finding that poly caps are holding up and the plastic on plastic sections are the ones that are getting loose
they should use the new mg frame for the vidar it would be sick
Please help me
The hg vidar's back pack is fixable? It always fall😔
Thanks for the reply
Take a picture of your box both from front, upc and bluefin sticker if in the us that way you can request parts even after you throw away the box.
That ad is pure perfection 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Now this is how you advertise smoothly, and it is catchy too
I'll take all the gundam frames from IBO in MG form. Especially the Dantalion.
TITAN slaying anime? Hey, I was in that one!!!
So glad I from the start kept on doing gundam parts in individual named baggies.
At this point I'll kill my own wallet to buy this
I wonder if the polly cap problem can be fixed by makin resin replacement parts.
IF ONLLLYYYYYY, we had a mg vidar or bael that used the gundam frame from the mg barbatos, cause personally i prefer the bael design the most, followed by vidar, and then the barbatos lupus
Your Dogs are so cooperative XD
Bro always keep doing this gunpla review and I will always watch your videos .
Mecha should go live and go threw the parts box askin the chat what parts are from what kits
You have a wife? I'm legit surprised. You sound so young (in a good way)
Well now we're getting one.
When he bends those legs.. aight I'm scared now
Vidar is my favorite mobile suit from IBO so I really, really want a Master Grade of it
I'd expect to see Barbatos variants first, the lupus and rex, before anything buuuuutttt let's hope bandai does make vidar soon haha
i remember you throw this Kit in your old video if my memory not wrong.
My wife -gawked- when you mentioned you're married LOLOLOL
Props to you man, from one married nerd to another! *High five*
Damn I'm 18 and I don't even have a gf yet
*Cries in 16*
IM SO PISSED THIS WASNT IN THERE MORE!
I like the way he uses his dogs to do some sponsorships
These surfshark ads from you are amazing! It's so unique and somewhat funny
SurfShark should hire you to make their ads
