These new action bases are amazing. While the older ones were fine, I couldn’t really use them for anything besides Gunpla. With the action base 4, I was experimenting and found it can be used with Figma, SH Figuarts, Robot Damashii, and even Gundam Gashapon Ensemble. The versatility of these things is quite impressive
The issue you have with the action base 4 is fixed with the base adapter that it comes with. It's the oring that comes with it and you put that into the base. And then the circle base for the arm. Hope that helps
the small brace included with the action base 4 is for supporting a kit that is standing on the ground. like a back heavy kit that's incapable of standing unsupported. also a single arm from the action base 4 is strong enough to support a kit displayed upside down. i.redd.it/mt2yfdd66v701.jpg you have to assemble the arms like the one on the right of this picture... i.imgur.com/OSmhq69.jpg
I recommend using action base 6 if you’re building up some light weighted HG/RG kits. Same price as base 4 and 5, but it has 2 bases and 2 arms in 1 package, and it does the job well. Btw if the figure is a bit heavier, you can use base 7 instead. It’s the same as base 6, but a bit more expensive and came with more sturdy arms.
Zach, i bought 1 base and currently holding 1 MG Qubeley & 1 MG Gouf. You can have an MG kit with 1 stand but you need to populate 2 holes in the base.. The same principle on doing it is the same with the previous 1/100 action base.
Don't know if this has already been commented on here, but the old action base 2's arm does fit on this base. The peg on the bottom is the same size; thus, if you have a bunch of action base 2's lying around you have a lot more posing options.
Looking forward to these, kinda love the Kotobukiya vibe and feel to the design. I'm really short on Action Bases and holding out for these bases and waiting for a good review.
Love this video! It's been so hard to find good info like this! Sorry, I have a very specific question here: what do the sides of the action base 5 measure? like each if the 6 sides are they 1 inch or 2??
it clarifies things as far as what's in those two pedestals. But I still can't decide which one to take... It's for the RG tallgeese ver.ka, I plan to do a staging with the wing gundam of the same category, if I can and if it doesn't take up any space . :/
Question ?, I bought 2 clear Tamasii Model Effect XH-018 Bases. Gonna use the for MG Gundams. Not to sound dumb, but whats the difference between this brand and Bandai? Thanks for your reviews. Thanks, Billy
Hm, how does it compare to the Revised Action Base 1? (MG Fenice Rinascita, Justice, Figure-rise Bust ver. Freedom 2.0, Providence Limited ver., First edition vers. of FM IBO kits)
Pros: I have some rare stands including a federation based design with outdated instructions (never seen one like it before) Cons: I have no idea which box 90% of them are located in. 😂
Hey, just curious but the large double arm on the 4. Do you find that to be stronger than the old style action base? Like would it be strong enough to hold a heavy mg like the Sinanju without the arm bending?
Hey for the two mg kits there is a better way to do it the Arm can plug into a normal spot and that circle joint can go to another plug in which make the part more stable
Hey zach, do you have any japanese friends who that does translation? I have the whole manga volume for advance of zeta story. I thought of translating it for everyone to know more about aoz story
While the new bases are much better when it comes to the engineering, I'm personally a little disappointed in the lack of detail on the base itself, it can be fun to paint the action base 1 and personalize it.
I bought an action base 4 and it handled 3 RGs, the weapon arm is strong to lift a light RG like Exia.
Oh, cool! Thanks for the info! I was wondering about how good that thin arm would be; if it can support a 1/144 then that'd great!!!
if your doing a pose where its running (ie one foot on the ground) I find the small arm works just as well as the other two

This action base is a beast of possibilities.
No wonder why Bandai put unicorn in the front of the package
the three arms is good for doing combining MS like the ZZ, S Gundam, Victory, Impulse, Tryon 3, & Dryon Drei when in their separated forms.
I need I buy a couple of these especially since the hobby shop by my house has stocked up on them
The instructions show a way to make the single-arm configuration much more stable.

I want to get these when its available here in the US.
they've been available, I've been buying them from local hobby shops since January.
USA Gundam Store has 'em
I’m from Michigan and my hobby shop has been stocking them.
Gundam Planet and Image Anime also has them
Just buy from Amazon or ebay
Naming the 2 stands as fat man and little boy? Sure Japan would love those names lol
Doujinshi artists: allow us to introduce ourselves
@@blastingmaxemes7099 he's referencing the names of the two nukes that United States dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
@@billrex or something else, idk.
The extra arm actually works with 1/144 scale kits I have my pale rider on it right now
at 2:05 Thats actually for weapon's effect like beam of the rifle but i use it for sd as well
I wish Bandai would just make copies of the figma stands. Those things are stellar.

Hopefully Bandai makes more clear colors for the new action base. I'd definitely get action base 5 in clear red.
I preordered 4 of these bad biches when it was announced(action base 4 not 5), I use the small rod to hold up my more finicky 144s standing up
Zach do yo think that the 2nd arm could help keep the psycho Zaku hg upright?
Build Divers is also getting a variant on the 5.
Do you think the action base 4 can support heavier/larger/back-heavy 1/100s like the Strike E + IWSP?

I plan on buying one of these with XN 00 Raiser. Do you think it can support him with his heavy back pack?
I got one of these for my super minipla collection since theyre basically gunplas from other franchises, and I have Voltron in a really badass pose
would these be compatible with the rg nu gundam or sazabi?
Happy 1 Year Anniversary for this video!
woot?
Don't know if this has already been commented on here, but the old action base 2's arm does fit on this base. The peg on the bottom is the same size; thus, if you have a bunch of action base 2's lying around you have a lot more posing options.
Can the action base 4 hold two 1/144 rg or hg?
Looking forward to these, kinda love the Kotobukiya vibe and feel to the design. I'm really short on Action Bases and holding out for these bases and waiting for a good review.
Would these work with an SDCS frame? I have a Nightingale one which is a bit bigger of an SD frame. If not, I am looking for one that would work well.
I trying to consolidate space for my Gunpla so I think this would be great for my MG kits 👍

Hey there, is the Action Base 4 good for holding SH Figuarts?
Thank you.
Just got the action base 4 today
I bought a clear one during the Gundam Expo in Australia, best decision I've made so far
Hi could you do a video on how you store away your finished kits?
Question ?, I bought 2 clear Tamasii Model Effect XH-018 Bases. Gonna use the for MG Gundams. Not to sound dumb, but whats the difference between this brand and Bandai? Thanks for your reviews. Thanks, Billy
Do you think action base 5 can support the weight of MG perfect strike?
Hi! Look you think the #4 can hold a MG Sazabi ver Ka?
Would these stands work with the base adapters that comes with say the astray kits??
Can we attach the arms from the older action bases onto these?
I imagine the holes in the base plate are the exact same size.
can i use those for my zoids? if not what can u recommend to me. for my blade liger specifically
It somehow good especially when u have a spinning base. Didnt use much space
Does it work for black series??
Hm, how does it compare to the
Revised Action Base 1? (MG Fenice Rinascita, Justice, Figure-rise Bust ver. Freedom 2.0, Providence Limited ver., First edition vers. of FM IBO kits)
Mico Nuq the versatility with these is cool, but imo that base you’re talking about is still the best. Super sturdy.
hey zack? did it work well with your HMM liger zero shneider?
What they need is an action base for big boys like The O and Sazabi MGs
Thanks for this video! I had SO many spare base parts with my RG Zeong I had no idea what to do with them!
that second 3mm peg with the sideways pointing peg is more for transformers than gundam.
Thanks man! you save my life!
Why do the stands have to be built too? I don’t get it lol
vidfreak727 makes them cheaper
It also makes it so that if ur bored, you have something to build.
BLizard Stop Motion, Plastic Modeling, and more! How thoughtful of them lol
vidfreak727 is
*Because G u n p l a*
What do you think of Action Base 3?
you should review all action base
Any idea when we will see more of that Trash to treasure series
He's still sanding before painting. Mentioned it in his twitch stream last night.
Erdrick68 alright cool can't wait to see the finished product
Pros: I have some rare stands including a federation based design with outdated instructions (never seen one like it before)
Cons: I have no idea which box 90% of them are located in. 😂
I bought action base 4
Hey zaku, when are we gonna see the roast my kit vidoes?
Hey, just curious but the large double arm on the 4. Do you find that to be stronger than the old style action base? Like would it be strong enough to hold a heavy mg like the Sinanju without the arm bending?
thanks for the review... you gave me an idea for my force impulse revive :)|
- very informative... thanks :)
hey man, great review just wondering what that navy blue gundam is called
It is mark 2 in titans color (HG)
You sounded like Borat when you said "I like it a lot" LoL xD
Will these work with dbz figure rise
Yes
Thank you boss Zaku for this review as I planning to buy Action Base 4 for Gunpla photography 😊
More build to come
I would love to get some blue bases, but that would not justify a ticket from germany to tokio
TheCludo then buy a crapton of GFT exclusive kits and chalk it up to shipping costs lol.
Would this work with a Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom? I understand it needs a base adapter to hold the gunpla by the pack.
The value, utility, and amount of plastic in these sets FAR surpasses the OG bases! I'm really looking forward to grabbing a few of these!
10:44
*drops* I'm gay
Shibu Kamiya lol someone eddit that pls.
Can u use these on transformers figures
Put to Build Fighter Try team onto Action Base 5
watching this to figure out what the hell I needed to do with all the spare shit on the Action Base 4 that came with my Moon Gundam
I know this video is old but do the pegs fit Super robot chogokin figures too?
Hey for the two mg kits there is a better way to do it the Arm can plug into a normal spot and that circle joint can go to another plug in which make the part more stable
What do you use for the spinning base ?
You ever have in super robot wars Kit's
DamashixGunpla DamashixGunpla I’ve reviewed the Valsione and maybe one more? Can’t remember
Hey zach, do you have any japanese friends who that does translation? I have the whole manga volume for advance of zeta story. I thought of translating it for everyone to know more about aoz story
sirrul hadi I think those are already translated online, but can’t remember for sure. Either way, no I don’t have a friend who could do that
What's the size of the hole on the base stand?
can these work with figure rise standard kits?
Should yeah!
While the new bases are much better when it comes to the engineering, I'm personally a little disappointed in the lack of detail on the base itself, it can be fun to paint the action base 1 and personalize it.
Are 1/144 kits compatible with the action base 4?
Laurigi yeah it also comes with a peg connection
Cool thanks
are they also compatible with transformers?
I’m not sure sorry! Though the C-clasp style attachment should hold on to anything really so I would say try one!
Okey
However, compared to the Action Base 2, this base can only twist up/down motion but not sideways
So cool
So helpful! Thank you!! 😁
Hi
Hello, your video was dope ! I am gunpla store owner. May I have permission to use your youtube action base/gunpla review clip for my sale?
HAHAHA! you said B.A.!!
5th :)
First :)
I found my ab4 having problems holding my zz ver ka
Do you think the action base 4 can support heavier/larger/back-heavy 1/100s like the Strike E + IWSP?
LKR possibly, but it wouldn’t be high off the deck
Can this base hold the 1/144 neo zeong?
What's the size of the hole on the base stand?
