The Mobile Suits at the event of CCA are basically Go Big or Go Home
Then Hathaway's Flash goes "WE NEED TO GO EVEN BIGGER"
And then F91, Crossbone, and Victory comes along and be like "we go too far. Let's make a race car instead lol"
@@ArchusKanzaki small MS virgin vs Big chonk MS chad
And then there is char who took the 'go big' concept in his own interpretation lol
Jk I love nightingale. One of my fave MSes
@@ArchusKanzaki tbh that's usually how technology go tho, we keep improving technology until until it become too big. After that the next step is compressing it so it's lighter, easier and cheaper to manufacture.
Now that's a mantra I can get behind!
Praying for the poor souls who designed this masterpiece. Press F to pay respect.

RG Nu gundam flashback
F indeed
They sold their soul for this kit engineering
F
Mecha in 2019: RG is the new MG 1/144
Mecha in 2021: RG is the new PG 1/144
I used to give 1/144 scale kits a hard time but if Bandai keeps making high grades as good as the Nightingale and RGs as good as this, Zeong, and Sazabi, I'm really gonna have to eat my words.
I was the same. 1/100 or nothing at all.
But bandai have been really raising their game of late.
And I always stuck by 144 because it was mostly uniform with my MSIAs and robot damashiis and in the long run this scales getting so.much better it's crazy. Other then like... black convoy and dragon megatron i don't have a single 1/100 style and I don't need
@@Matanumi My first kit was the MG EW Deathscythe and I ended up with some other video game 1/100 scale kits, so I just wanted to keep everything in scale, not to mention master grades just had more small detail and better overall accuracy. The Zeong is actually my first RG kit and I feel like I'm overdosing on small detail. I am absolutely in love with it, but it feels bittersweet to have insisted on MGs and spent well over double the price of the RGs for a product that ultimately feels inferior in the face of their RG counterparts.
We will be back here in a several years to see u eat ur words.
>:D
@@ithanlolxd9554 That Lfrith tho
I was always bothered that the Hi-Nu was smaller than the Nu Gundam. I don't mind at all it being out of scale.
Same it felt weird that hi-nu was a finished version of nu but was smaller, but my headcanon is amuro was way ahead of the curve in that version of uc and decided to make it smaller so it would be faster kinda like later uc stuff
@@smokemidigofoolish5797 Meanwhile, Char went in the exact *opposite* direction, and said "What if it was _Bigger_ ?"when designing the Nightingale!
@@Altarahhn exactly
@@smokemidigofoolish5797 "Cue Amuro flying Circles around Char's Chonky B- wait, no, 'cause it has Thrusters for days, so it can ( _kind of_ ) keep up. Though the Hi-Nu is still more mobile, and that's what counts! Now imagine the massive Nightingale getting the Scrap beat out of it by the more diminutive Hi-Nu! 😁
Because Amuro preferred Ranged combat with Balistic Weapons(Rocket launcher) than Close combat.
I've already built mine. An absolute beauty indeed.
As for the white plastic, I think this kit contains 2 shade of whites but very hard to distinct.
The white of the D runner is a little bit warmer than the whites on the C runners.
I'm not sure if it is because of the light of my room is a warm yellow white or not but it does seem different to me.
If there is a difference it sure is subtle.
You can check the colour guide on the last page to see what colors are there
I never see scale as a huge issue for me. I see them as artistic renderings of mecha through the designer's eye. If the designer wanted it taller then that's that version of the hinu. The original is just that specific interpretation.
That's actually a really good way to look at this being out of scale.
Tbf the RG is mash of elements from the original design and Katoki's redesign so it makes sense
I suppose the problem is really that they are advertised as being in a particular scale. So why do that if they aren't gonna follow their own rules
if you look at the head and torso size it's near identical to the nu. The legs are just longer. If a human is like 7 feet tall are they not in 1:1 scale anymore? XD the designer took a scale and just made a tall boi in my eyes.
@@AstreaGT but if you took a 5' person and a 7' person, and scaled them down by the same amount, they would still have the same relative height difference. If they were the same size when scaled down, they wouldn't be in the same scale as each other
Cant imagine the evolution of RG kit in another 10 years later
You time machine 10 years into the future where plastic kits are banned due to huge climate shifts:
Ry0u Sama: "fuck..."
Wouldn't be surpised should there be a new line called " RGEX " hahaha
To be fully honest the Hi-nu Gundam's design was really hard to capture with the high grade and master grade but the Real Grade took the cake in my opinion, its like the Perfect grade unleashed but smaller (excluding the real metal parts and the all the perfect gradiness of perfect grades)
edit: i also like how they put pistons in the knees
Don't know man, I own both and I'd say the ver ka is as good as this one
considering how fin funnels only work in space, as far as i know anyway, those beam sabers in the wings could just detach and eject out, and still be able to be grabbed before they get to far away from the mobile suit. like how the guison from ibo grabbed its hammer.
I've been playing a lot of SD Gundam Cross Silhouette recently and that's exactly what a lot of suits do, just eject the weapons an then grab them.
It also makes me wish we would get some good single player Gundam games with fully proportioned mobile suits.
@@MechaGaikotsu Back on the PS2 they released a Gundam turn-based JRPG that was really awesome...except for the fact that your totally mix-and-matchable mobile suits were SD.
The review everyone was waiting for!
It looks so cool! Sad that it's been sold out everywhere and apparently the amount produced for the first wave is not enough to cover all the preorders, so I'll probably have to wait for a 2nd (maybe even 3rd) wave to be able to get one :(
Same
bandai had scheduled the next production at December and January 2022, along with Nightingale HG, i will wait for the ready stock at my area
That is happening so much lately, it really does suck. Hopefully the gunpla drought will come to an end sooner rather than later.
Welp looks like I'll have to go for the HG then.
Atleast u know you’ll get one they may never make the one I want again
I started my descent into the Gunpla rabbit hole back in the summer of 2016 with the Hi-Nu ver.Ka. Needless to say I was very quickly in way over my head, but I haven't been able to stop my plastic addiction since. Too many kits in the backlog to count at this point, but I can't wait to get my hands on this RG to match with his MG counterpart.
And for our main man Mecha, I've been following your channel for a while and you have been a large contributing factor to maintaining my love for this hobby. Your thorough (and quite often hilariously entertaining) reviews have made me add some kits to my collection that I had doubts about. I'm sure I speak for most of us here when I say that I hope we get to continue watching you bring so much energy and love to our hobby for many many years to come.
Cheers!
Hi-Nu should always have been taller, since it was just an alternate Nu at first. The short height is an artifact from when Nu was said to be 20m in the old kits, MSVs and novels, and the Hi-Nu was just the slightly bulkier illustration of Nu that Izubuchi drew for the Beltorchika's Children novel. Nu was updated to 22m at some point in the 90s, but when the "slightly bulkier Nu from the novel" became its own design and got the name Hi-Nu, it kept the 20m height from the novel, even after Izubuchi slimmed it down in the early 00s.
MY GOD RG SAZABI STILL LOOKS LIKE THE KING OF REAL GRADE.
💀
Finally! Been waiting for your review on this one for quite some time. At this rate, RG will become mini Perfect Grade in the next 10 years.
28:49 for those who wants to see Mecha Gaikotsu's Amazing Hi-Nu VS Nightingale pose
Man we have come a long way with gunpla now, from early real grade syndrome to this. MG was always my fave grade but RG is winning me over with the phenomenal kits coming out. Even HGs today are amazingly engineered for the price you pay now. The designers of these kits are crazy
Been waiting for this all year! Mine is in the mail along with the Nightingale and I can't wait for these phenomenal kits. Great review!
Let's respect those who sold their soul to design this Masterpiece...
The devil is going to be getting some mad model kits down there when they die, that's for sure.
@@MechaGaikotsu I Think he'll be content with the MG Gundam Barbatos.
I missed building the RG Nu Gundam but this kit is just too GOOOOOOOOD that I’d really stupid to let this pass. A huge round of applause 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 to all those amazing people at Bandai for giving us this godly kit.
I was able to score the Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher last night on P-Bandai, I can not wait
Congrats man
@@jackielee297 just passing by, but normally people would just say 'good for you' or something, yet 'congrats' seem oddly fitting. Being a customer has really become a competition now, yeah?
@@PaszerDye It is fitting because I lost out on the Zaku Warrior Concert version, I clicked Add to Cart three times but every time I got "Too much traffic" and had to reload multiple times until it was Sold Out in 20 minutes
@@nitsuga13 fair enough. I'm not a fan of most SEED kits. I did get the P Bandai Rey Za Burrel Zaku though. That suit was the 1st gunpla I bought, an EG released when Seed came out way back.
@@PaszerDye I got that one and the Yzak zaku because I lost out on it last year, but last year it wasn't sold out fast I just contemplated too long, by the time I realized I wanted it it was gone. I think that is what's going on, people have been seeing kits slip past them because they could not commit, or were waiting. I believe people are tired on missing out and are pulling the trigger as soon as it's available to not miss out
thanks for including the crossbone for the comparison. it's my 1st RG gundam. thanks again Mecha!!!
Since i just started this video, i figured since i watch your vids a lot now, i just bought my first ever gundam and it will be here in the next few days. I bought a high grade wing zero color variant and im very excited to build it. After him i think i might get the perfect strike freedom.
Respects for the pose with Nightingale! Great work and review as always! Would love to see a wip for that pose!
When Mecha says that calling a kit a mini-Master Grade is a disservice, you know it's an amazing kit.
WOOO been waiting for this for the past few days. Surprised it didn't take longer to film this tbh but great vid. Totally agree about the stock doodoo gold they have, I was surprised when no other reviewer mentioned how bad it looked
I want 2 personally thank u for showing Hi-Nu Gundam. The design of the Hi-Nu Gundam RG kit is really awesome so after watching your review about him I bought him as soon as possible happily I was able to find him.
have to say I've always been disappointed how much shorter the Hi-Nu was, so I'm glad this consolidated design from the two existing Hi-Nu includes a much needed boost in height. I would like this to be the definitive ver of the Hi-Nu going forward!
I just laughed at how far we've come in terms of articulation at 24:01, what in the absolute fuck are those mad geniuses at Bandai doing
Wow they really went in (again). That leg detail is almost PG levels of immaculate, and the propellant tanks are a step up from the Sazabi's. I've also always preferred the Hi-Nu's funnel layout to the Nu's.
And that beam rifle is _way_ sexier than it needed to be! Looking forward to getting my hands on one.
Im so excited to build this new RG! Awesome review as always mecha
For the slight inaccurate height, I think it's because they've incorporated so much engineering and layers into the overall build of the kit, to the point the "actual" height is compromised.
I feel if this kit was made with the older RGs like with stuff like full prebuilt frames and less complex engineering, it would have at least remained the canon height.
It would've been a mess of a kit probably if this was made back when rg first started
They should just retcon the height to match the kit. Never made sense that it was noticeably shorter.
I like all my gundams to be as close to this size as posssible, I know everyone isn’t the same, but like an average MG size is perfect for me. This, and RG sazabi are perfect. They look great next to my gundams like the MG red frame astray Kai
I've been waiting for this review, yes!!!
Edit: And when will you review the RG Gundam Mk 2?
Maybe, always wanted to get the titans color one!
@@MechaGaikotsu cool :)
@Kurumatai He’s reviewed the RG Tallgeese three times already. The Tallgeese II should be identical.
This is like to see, I've been debating getting one for ages
@Kurumatai Yes. So is the Tallgeese III, which he reviewed. The verdict essentially was that it was identical to the standard RG Tallgeese, and if you want it, go get it. A Tallgeese II review is going to be exactly the same.
Nu Gundam was my first real grade and the kit that made me actually fall in love with the hobby. I can’t wait to do this one. Looks absolutely badass.
It is!
That pose at the end with the light.....Mecha you killed that. Fantastic review btw
I was kinda bothered that the Hi-Nu was smaller than the Nu when the Nightingale was so much more than the Sazabi. So Bandai bulking up the Hi-Nu is 100% welcomed for me.
The inner-hinge of its front skirt should be made in future kits. Imagining RG-Shining Gundam with a perfect kneel pose inside the big hatch. No more hindering front-skirts. xD
RG Sazabi
Someone else mentioned RG Sazabi (so this has already appeared in a Real Grade), but still, I hear you! The RG Nu and Hi-Nu have crazy articulation, and if they go that route with the Shining and God/Burning Gundams, they're gonna be *Ridiculous,* the absolute Gods of Articulation (well, _conventional_ articulation, anyway, because the G40 is a tough act to beat)!
Glad I kept the preorder on this! Best video yet, MG!
This guy looks like a monster of a RG and I can't wait to get my own! And I just gotta say, that Gold you painted looks SOO GOOD!
I actually like the injection gold in this kit as it helps make the colors pop even more than it already does.
I understand designs are super subjective when it comes to judging which is best, but I still absolutely love the asymmetrical look of the Nu compared to the almost too perfect, winged Hi-Nu. The details on the H-Nu I will admit is great! I think the metallic injections should've been kept as is to properly judge how they look when it's all put together. Overall though great review!
I thaught Mecha-G came a bit too hard on the RG Nu Gundam.
I've built the RG Nu, and I built the RG Hi Nu yesterday, and I have to say the two kits are still different, in the sense that they don't render the other one useless.
I mean, if you've built the Hi-Nu, you'll still enjoy the Nu, and find proper differences between the two.
Obviously, the RG Hi-Nu, has more plastic in the box, its design is richer, but yeah, it's how this mecha was designed. It's logical that the kit would be more detailed.
So yeah, the RG Nu is still a great model kit, and isn't render obsolete with the release of the RG Hi-NU.
Just bought this kit last night because of your suggestion. I look forward to the build.
Found one at a local shop yesterday! Stoked to get this big boi goin.
huh, weird how they didn't include the iconic double beamed beam saber the hi nu has. just a pet peeve, still an amazing kit
I want this exact model with the same colors and proportions but in 1/100 😭
The ver ka? The proportions r slightly different but hey, the thiccer the better
@@nemueru to each their own, I definitely prefer the slimmer proportions with the longer legs of the RG.
A bit hard, but u can try the 2007 Hi Nu version
It is a great kit, event to today standard, with a much slimmer silhouette than the Ver Ka
Ver ka exist, just tighten up the skirt and shoulders you'll be fine, oh yeah bring some purple paint for fin funnel if you don't want to use water slide
@@GeremyG then do some modifications with the proportions, it's gonna be hard but it's gonna be worth the effort
Was really looking forward to your review. Thank you!
A few review vids released about this kit, but always i prefer how you represent it better than others
Diorama Idea: Have the Hg Neo zeong and nightingale duke it out with the RG Hi-nu Gundam and Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility.
It would be the battle of the U.C ages!
if you want to find out about its size in 1/144 scale (centimeters/millimeters), multiply it by0.00694 (based on wiki), so a 20 meter Gundam would only 13.88 centimeters in 1/144 scale
Just ordered mine. Can't wait to get and build him!
It looks beautiful I'm looking forward to hopefully getting it one day, I do have a substantial back log of kits at the moment so still got lots of building to do
It' beautiful. Even though the scale is off a bit I can take it :D
With all these articulation I think we're ready for RG G Gundam line, or those martial art fighters from Build series
Edit: RG GOD GUNDAM IS COMING
I've been highly anticipating this kit and need to get it ordered asap
I've only built a few model kits but I've watched a lot of reviews and good lord... your review has convinced me this may be perhaps one of if not the best kits, even surpassing the RG of my beloved Unicorn. Even though I have no interest in reading the BC version of CCA, I have to pick this thing up at some point.
I legit wonder how they're going to top this with the next RG
Wait until RG Xi, RG Ex-S or RG FAZZ I guess. Or RG Kshatriya.
@@androyus still hungry for that RE/100 Kshatriya. Bandai pls
RG God Gundam or shining gundam
@@normanferras4377 shining god damn that'll be so nice especially with new rg tech
@真ゲッターロボ タラクChandelier Mirage agreed
I feel like the Hi-Nu is the Nu's older, cooler brother
I'm so envious. I've ordered this the second i saw it on HLJ but my pre-order is still pending T^T.
I can't wait to get my hands on this beautiful thing
MG's Top 5 best Gunpla for next year is going to be a blast. Might as well categories it as with frame and frameless category.
0:03 IS THE ORGY HI NU GUNDAM BETTER THAN THE NU GUNDAM⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
should i buy this instead the ver ka one?
Of course, this is so much better, in terms of articulation, looks etc
I think this is better than the ver ka
If you want more articulation and detail, yes
if you just straight buils ur kits, then go for the RG. i think to get the best out of any ver ka you should be a moderately experienced builder (you should know how to paint, apply waterslide decals, fixing loose joins and stuff like that)
Good luck finding one
I loved the combined designs of the original/Katoki hi Nu Gundam and the 07 redesign to make a pretty cool interpretation of this gundam
Can't imagine how many years they spent designing this awesome kit! Also the mold design of the plastic parts!
I love RG, wish we got more.
This one just doesn’t do it for me visually so I’ll have to wait for future releases
Maybe next year's rg epyon
Same, to be honest I like the design of the regular Nu Gundam more than the Hi Nu
A franchise I'd like to see a Real Grade kit of would be the Full Metal Panic line. I mean, Arm Slaves are pretty much as "Real" as you can get get (Lambda Driver shenanigans aside), and the kind of detail and mechanics they have would be perfect for RG, especially for details the HG kits couldn't get. RG ARX-8 Laevatain when.
I 100% agree. If you want this look just buy the MG Ver Ka and some paint and you will just have an even bigger version of this.. And I guess scale isn't that big of a deal.. Unless you have fourty 1/144's on your shelf that have all done a reasonably good job of scale .And then this.. I am really glad I couldn't care less about this kit. Bandai let the customer base down with the low numbers of release.. I swear they are working with resellers to spike the Scalping market... This really should have been a new line.. Definitely not a Real Grade (by prior definition), definitely not a MG. !! RG Unleashed !!
It looks hella good, but i kinda like the purple white colour scheme of the MG ver ka more
When we were shown this kit for the first time it was purple, they changed it afterwards
same, though I prefer the hard separation of colors here vs the gradient on the MG Ver Ka. Interestingly, if you go back to those very first promo pics of this RG, it looked more purple than the final version. Wonder why they changed it
@@kwertchayolo2911 Yup the prototype was a light lavender-ish colour
@@alastormedial yeah the funnels on the RG are way better, the waterslides for the Ver Ka just falls off overtime as it's not on a flat even surface which is a shame that they did not colour separate it with parts.
@@alastormedial the purple gradient funnels would be impossible
i've seen 70% of this review before with the regular RG Nu Gundam review but i still enjoyed every second of it
Awesome review. Looks amazing......can't wait it will be my first RG breaking the rules w/ MG & PG only.
Mecha, you missed the moving collar piece that allows for the head to look even further up and the flap at the back of head allows for the head to move 360 degrees. Also the ankle joints can be pulled down to allow for a much wider range of movement in the foot. I was quite disappointed you never took off the leg to test how far it can bend without the foot leaving the ground. Like you did it with all sorts of kits, but not the "king of gunpla"? C'mon dude.
This is a small PG grade
I just watched the review it was amazing. All the hatches got me thinking about if Hi Nu or Nu had the NTD system
17:21 we have v-fin separation bois XD
Mecha questioning us is the hi nu better than the nu, no they're both 50/50
Just grabbed two from a local hobbytown today, can't wait to build em!
Just ordered this monster as an early Christmas gift. Can't wait to build it.
really love the review, never disappoints buying a gundam based on your reviews. Great review!:D
I got lucky today and picked this up at the hobby store in my area. Can't wait to get this guy all displayed up.
The Hi-Nu is one of the most elegant designs for a mobile suit/mecha ever made. There's something so majestic about how it looks and also something intimidating as well.
As soon as this becomes available to pre-order in my local gunpla store, I'm getting it without a doubt. But to date, the RG Nu Gundam and RG Sazabi are my two greatest gunpla masterpieces without a doubt since I put so much care and detailing into them. Sitting on my desk in battle poses. Might even get the HG Nightingale to match.
Or maybe wait until Bandai makes the Nightingale into a Real Grade. Imagine that.
Awesome video as always! Your color and lighting are spot on! For panel lining, have you tried the Tamiya panel liners and lighter fluid for clean up? I feel I get cleaner and thinner panel lines and it costs a lot less than the markers
Started collecting some RG and i cannot believe that i got this kit with Nu Gundam and Sazabi 😍😍😍
I just got the Nu Gundam, the RG one and I loved it.
Cannot wait to put my hands on this one.
Im so excited for this review ! btw If I wasnt mistaken, the shoulder joint can be pull out, you're the best !
This one goes beyond Gundarium tier ! Thanks @Mecha Gaikotsu for showcasing all the aspects of this kit ! :D Love your reviews. Mecha-designers at Bandai really hit it out of the park with this one :)
Fecken Ridiculous !!! take my money !!! just ordered it . thanks for the review, have been waitinging for your judgement call on this. As always your on point.
"it holds on to it perfectly" then the V-fin popped off got me laughing on the floor XD
17:21 Bye - Bye V-fin and just like that magic 😺
I got it late. I just got it now, but still, it's worth the wait! That leg BLEW ME AWAY! In my opinion Hi-Nu Gundam is the best Gundam that embodies both the Regal and Over the top designing philosophy of Gundam, and this is one of the few interpretations of Hi-Nu that captured it perfectly. It reminded me again of what i love about the RG line.
god damn, love that articulation in the legs, and the moving armour pieces, so damn cool!
bro the gundam looks so fire dude love the vids
i have a question is the Hg Graze Kai would be a
good model kit to customize
Ordered this after finishing the nightingale recently. So excited to get it later this month!
Just bought mine a few days ago. Can't wait to build it
awwwww yiss here it is. been waiting for this review FOREVER
Built mine just yesterday, I had the fin funnel effect set from p-bandai to go with it. It's so awesome, I have it as a center piece on one of my living room tables.
I saw this at my local hobby store a few days ago and knew i had to grab it. No regrets
3:22 Megatron is looming in the background so menacingly
I've been waiting for this!!!
This... this video blew my mind with everything Hi-Nu has to offer. I might get 2... Still need to get an RG Sazabi.
I feel like when it comes to the RG line up, Gunpla or not, they're testing some stuff out for what would be future kits. For example, the inner skeleton, Advanced MS Joint, is still around to this day, but made in a way where it's more so for smaller stuff. Crossbone and Impules' core fighters are a good example along with Nu Gundam's funnels. Unicorn went in with a better plastic and, the biggest one of all, moving parts for it's transformation. Sazabi completely did away with the MS Joint internal skeleton and went with polycaps instead. Making kits incredibly sturdy. Then the insane articulation that is of the Eva Units, especially with those ab crunches. You get the point.
I started my first Gunpla with an RG, Strike Freedom, and since then, it has been my favorite line up. I've done a few HG and SDs before and only recently got into MG with Dynames. I'm looking forward to what Bandai has install for future RG kits.
I never been a fan of Hi-Nu Gundam, but this kit is sick and i started to like it! Great Review btw
It can reach its weapons, over the shoulder beam saber handles... but the Hi-Nu was meant for space combat in mind at the time.
