The figure wins out in the articulation and accessories but I think the HG's proportions are better. personally will stick with the HG because the upcoming stand for Aerial will get the gund bits pose I want so the only relevant win for me here straight up disappears.
Also I'm pretty sure you meant the figure had a better ankle because to my experience the HG has a wonderful knee, and personally the shield for the HG works better for me since it just looks sharper.
proportions on the HG look alot better
And the. Lines are alot deeper on the hg which makes the panel lining easier.
Damashii is more accurate
The HG looks way better on the side by side when you put the extra effort to panel line
Aerial has become one my favorite lead gundams its such a unique and awesome design and how much it stands out compared to others in the franchise.
mmm don't agree, Exia was totally unique, this borrows way too many nods to Exia and 00 designs.
For me, the XI Gundam has the most 'out of ordinary' design with it's bulky and wide proportions
@@rory6835 oh definitely exia is my personal favorite gundam of the franchise.
@@p0p765 the Xi gundam is an absolute beast and yes I agree it really exells in terms of presentation.
@@jonathansalazar4630 Don't get me wrong either, I highly rate Aerial's design.
Looking forward to the 1/100 FM Aerial
Definitely one of the cooler comparison videos I've watched in a while. I always learn a little something about the hobby also when I watch your videos! thank you!
The Damashii version feels a bit off and... ugly?
The elbow joints looks weird to me.
and 5x the price
Hello Mecha
It’s been a while since your last update.
Happy New Year.
Whatever you been up to I hope you are doing well.
Looking forward to your new video, always.
how has noone noticed hes M.IA
There's no news or anything from him. Am getting worried
@@Rose-he7nm same, I just thought he took a break since he was moving.
Waiting for the full mechanics 1/100 one hehe
How about the Next Entry Grade honestly i'm tired to see Unicorn who have a Frame but doesn't Light up
@@movingtarget2977 buy the HG
@@movingtarget2977 come on, they're not gonna make a glowing entry grade
@@Yfr28 Lmao yeah, if it was unicorn mode unicorn it would've been more believable
Hey boss. Hope all is well. Looking forward to the next video!
You could do an ab crunch by pulling the torso up, extending the waist area
Your videos have been wonderful for somebody new into the hobby. I must've watched 50+ before even attempting my first gunpla. I originally bought a RG Wing that I was gonna do for my first build before I found out that RG was harder than HG lol. But I finally got my HG Aerial and that's gonna be my first actual build. Just waiting on some tools in the mail now :)
dont let the grades scare you from a kit! the challenges are always a fun learning experience and the newer RGs are insanely well made
@@sweetinvictus654 That's definitely good to know. I think I'll give it a shot after my Aerial then. I was gonna build the other four from the G-Team (HGAC) afterwards and end it with the RG Wing but I'm not sure if I want to wait that long for it haha.
Id say practice cutting methods and such with the hg first, making mistakes on a rg is harder to fix with smaller, more detailed pieces. Rg also take wayyy longer which can discourage someone who's new. My first kit was rg Exia and it was a great experience, but exhausting. I recommend SD for attempting customizations, since they tend to lack detail without stickers and such, and even a "bad" paint job can make them look much nicer
you can pull at the torso to unlock the ab crunch
I’m waiting on the full mechanics version I pre ordered but these two look awesome.
Fr, I really want to wait for it before deciding which I'll get.
@@Cokevas it had the order stop status after 1 minute, so good luck finding it
@@troloinkto it'll be reissued
what IS a full mechanics gunpla?
@@ameliaforever660 it’s a line where certain mobile suits are featured in 1/100 scale but separate from master grade
There are design elements on both versions that I would like to see combined in the MG version. Great work for both teams!
Man that panel lining moving adjacent to the figure at 3:43 had me tripping then I realized it was a pube.
To anyone buying from hobby link Japan keep in mind if you live in the us any figure you buy will have a $30 shipping fee added to it .ALWAYS check the shipping fee if you buy from there
I personally really hate it when reviewers throw up the price tags like that for beginners and such but keep the Trojan horse shipping price a secret.
I got both. I think the HG looks sharper and better. Especially with the HG’s clear parts, but I wanted a playable figure. Therefore, I got the Robot Spirits too. Also, the ver anime line is great.
I already have the HG, planning to get Ver. Anime line
One final test, see if it can splat a mosquito in one hand.
I hope spooky is doing alright
Excellent review job. Looks like Bandai banana is skimping on the damashi version 😛🎄
You are really really good at posing these Gundam kits. You make it look too easy.
Its been 3 weeks hope you or spooky are okay.
Hope your doing ok Mecha
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope your new place is working fine!!
Hey Mecha, hope your doing alright
The HG is hands down the superior* product.
*Aside from the lack of option hands haha
Robot Damashii Aerial looks more alot Shokew with it's bigger eyes.
I think the aerial is a perfect example to compare the design philosophies of between these companies, because its such a different design aesthetically, and not in the same way that Unicorn or IBO are. Theres something more organic about the art of WFM, and it meshes with Robot Damashii's background so well, where you can see Bandai has this textural and boxy vibe. The head of the aerial is more demi than the small helmets of previous hero mechs, and RD went all out with the widest eyes I've seen on a Gundam, it looks and poses more like a Spider-Man figure than a giant robot, and for that reason I get why a lot of people are saying they prefer the HG's proportions, because thats why we're here, to collect and build cool robots, but the mechs are as much characters as the pilots, and I'm partial to the emotive and organic designs of Kanti from FLCL, Nirvash from Eureka Seven... and yes even the Franx, albeit an extreme example.
I am new to this Gundam World so your Video was really really helpful! Thank you so much!
it amazingly HG really stand out when comparing side by side and it had is added to my favourite list :)
Merry Christmas to you mecha & to your family too. God bless & keep up the great work.
Can you panel line the Damashii Figure & add water decals to make it look similar to the HG kit?
I want aerial even more the more i see it-
Been binge watching your content since I got into gunpla a few weeks ago. Realized today I wasn’t subbed!! My mistake, I am now!!
hey man, almost month of silence.... hope all is well tho....
The RD is unmistakably taking inspiration from the reference image with its stubby proportions, but it can be fixed by raising the shoulders and extending the waist. I grabbed this one over the HG since I just wanted something more durable and be able to use the bits.
I feel like the robot damashi would look better with some panel lining? Would it work?
Very thorough comparison!
Fun fact, get the SHFiguarts Suletta Mercury to get a mini figure of Suletta to pair with Robot Spirits Aerial.
Suletta wasuretta
I can not wait to see you reviews of 1/100 ver of aerial
Even though the Robot Damashii Aerial has hands, the only downside I can think of personally are the stand, adapter part to make the long barrel beam rifle, and the central block for the shield form of the gund bits.
The HG Aerial is getting the Mirasoul Flight Unit soon with the open palm hands on it (hoping the back of the hands are also white plastic and not having to put stickers like the ones in the IBO Weapon Sets with the Barbatos Lupus hands.)
Not to mention their own Display Stand that you can pose your Gund Bits in more ways than the Robot Damashii. Plus compatible with the HG Lfrith, Daribalde and the recently released HG Pharact.
Hope all is well Mecha!!
Where is Mecha hiding?
That Berserk statue is too awesome!
I wonder if there will be a version which has it's look to be 'active'. Would not surprise me.
I recommend trying out kotobukiya's muvluv kits! Getting the nonscale ones over the 1/144 ones. I would like to see a review for a f22a emd phase2.
In general i think the RD design's sleeker interpretation is aesthetically pleasing in its own way, but I still prefer the HG's design overall. Some of that is the way the GUND system transparent parts were handled giving it more flare, sure, but mostly I like the way the HG's chest and collar are sculpted. The top of the HG's chest slants downward giving a better view of that yellow collar area which is larger and more well-defined which gives the HG Aerial more of a balanced appearance. I will say though I do like the expressiveness of the RD versions eyes, they're obscured somewhat on the HG but the longer neck really highlights them on the RD.
kinda weird they did not include active shell unit for the robot damashi. the black one looks too plain
Another perspective on why the RD will always be better. The joints won't loosen over time, it's already painted (you can panel line if you want) articulation and plastic quality is better. Also you can re-pack and sell unlike model kits. A model kit can be expensive to buy but once built its worthless, and only worth something to you.
Love that Berserk figure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man I really don't like the sculpting of the robot damashii, it looks cheaper in general and the proportions seem wrong
Can you panel line the RD and top coat it? Or will that not work due to different plastic or something?
Really hoped you go over panel lining the tamashii figure. If its preferred or not and how it looks
kinda unfortunate that the shield have to part-swap into Gun Bit mode which I expect not happen on a premium figure.
The Chogokin Aerial, yeah...
The figure is much more my style. !! We now need a MB Aerial. ! Bandai make it happen.
If you get your hands on one, I’d really like to see a review of the psycho zaku ver ka. I just picked up one myself, but it’s going to have to sit in the back log for a little bit :(
dont know if u notice this but there also an apperance dfferent that the neck on robot damashi is kinda longer than the hg
The Damashii looks a lot cuter imo, with the bigger eyes
The robot damashi ver looks super derpy!
I just want to ask if Tippex can be used on gundam model kits? And if so, on ABS?
I watch your videos a lot and I like your videos 🙂🙂
I know this was a question for the other video but I’d love to see the Zeon gundam mg review.
3:56 Reminds me of that E3 Keanu meme.
I think i've seen an older HG Gunpla kit for bits similar to Aerial. Is it possible to buy those and use it for Aerial and does anyone know which kit it was?
Does anyone know if the Robot Spirit effect parts will work with the HG or FM Aerials?
they really need to make a robot damashii astray frame... It would be very nice if they do
Could you make a vid where you detail this figure as if it's the HG? and add water decals too :D
Hey Mecha, hope all is well!
God that neck, I mean personally £50 already put this as a no go for me personally, but no matter how good the articulation and extras where I can't get over the fact that the proportions just look jank. It doesn't help that personally a bunch of accessories aren't a bonus imo unless they can be stored on the model. Since otherwise i'll find my favourite combo and the rest just go in a doggy bag and with the rest of the bonus accessories i'll probably never use from other kits.
I bought both HG and RD version. I think I prefer the proportion on the RD more, it looks weird and cool at the same time.
One thing I want to warn about on the RD Aerial is that the hands are rather tight to fit, don't force them on, wiggle them on so you don't stress them. Other than that, I really like figure way more. On a side note Mecha, are you going to review the GM Sniper figure next year?
The robot tamashi center eyes looks like a happy face while the HG center eyes looks like a badass mean face 🤣🤣🤣
i spent a few minutes looking at the pictures of aerial but the high grade for the leg, torso, shoulders and head correct but the figure got the arms, knee, foot and skirting armor correct but this is my own opinion
The one thing I don't like about metal build or damashi figures is that your scared to do super dynamic poses due to breaking or feeling like your pushing an arm or leg too far.
Dosent help that they are expensive af
RD wierd proportion is actually more on-model and anime accurate than the HG. Seriously look up the official anime materials again, Aerial is meant to be wierd looking.
HG proportion is stylized to be more "conventional", for better or worse.
While I do slightly prefer the HG proportion myself, the RD has it's own charm that's unique to its own. Sort of like Turn A. RD Aerial is meant to be in a pose rather than standing still
I still prefer the "witch face" on the torso of HG.. much more menacing..
Do you have any plans to do a review of the PG gundam RX-178 Mark II?
didn't expect that berserk pop up
When is the HG Gundam Pharact review coming out?
The goofy ahhh neck.
The ver. ANIME line prioritizes anime accuracy whereas the HG kits won't necessarily be that way, though still baffles me why they didn't include the red permet effects on the figure, they actually released a separate Aerial with red permet exclusively in the "Asia" market which doesn't include Japan.
Weird question can you attach the HG sheild to the robot spirits figure?
tl;dr: If you want a figure to play with, buy a figure, if you want a model kit to display all pretty, buy a model kit.
can you make comparison between kit and metal build of same gundam ?
maybe Exia - 00 lines
The chest on the Damashii one totally looks like a digimon.
I live in SoCal and I'm having trouble finding the HG in stock anywhere. It's hovering around $30-40 online. ):
Do you know which gunpla kit has the most units? I only know that 00 xn raiser has 3 units
Will we get a mechablog about your holidays? Will you also build a mecha christmas tree
I'm glad to support that's why I got the membership but what happened to member only content such as sneak peeks and stuff like I don't need it but a simple photo sneak peek thing would be nice sorry if I'm being a bit rude or asking too much loved the video mecha
Simply put, damashi has the Anime look. Gunpla Kit has the realism look (how it would/should look in the real world).
What do you think of the metal structure sazabi or nu
Anyone know what material the the stand of Gund bit is (those bendable rods), been looking for sth like that for my mg QUBELEY
Hi Mecha Gaikotsu! Can you make a video about the list of Gundarium tier please! 🙏🏼
I love this figure but the effect parts missing made me get the HG
I think if you don't have time or patience to build models then its obvious the toy is better. Those who want to customise should buy models. Models give details but flimsy plastic. Some people like solid feeling to their figures.
have you ever try the Nilson works ARF?? they say it was good.
Hey mecha will you do a review on the upcoming Spinatio Shogun type?
I would like to see more PG reviews!
Which led are those link pls if its on hlj
