One thing I noticed with other 1/100 HG heavyarms that were reviewed by others, is that they all have flimsy arms. It's either the guns were just too heavy or the arm joints were just too flimsy, but still, I'll be ordering the 1/100 HG kit to be put beside my new Heavyarms MG. If you ask me, the HG version has more details in comparison with the MG version
I love this model. Its pretty good for a HG. Only complaint is that the gattling guns are too heavy for the arms, and the arms drop down instead of staying at a 90 degree angle. The clown mask on this model is also awesome
There is one thing in customs from EW that continues to bother me even today. And thats fact that they never explained them in story. It was like we were expected to believe that mobile suits that were about to be destroyed changed so much during time.
lol, i remember thinking something similar. They technically didn't get new gundams and the movie pretends it was the same one from the tv series. They were just redesign for the big screen.
hey vegeta8259! i have never built a gundam kit before, but i decided to get this guy today! it was quite fun building it, and i am planning to get more kits in the future!
Great review. As nice as the kit seems, I really hope we get a MG of this and/or the original Heavyarms, which seems a fairly possible now that the MG Wing Gundam is coming out (which is just pure epic win in every conceivable way). :D Those CC's are hillarious, BTW. xD
@idstealer000 Good news, they've done MG kits of the Gundam Wing, Wing Zero, Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell ver Ka already, its just a matter of time before they make MG versions of the rest.
@vietsoldier01 not sure yet but they are going to release the shenlong mg soon and they are planning to do the epyon but i think they will eventually make the complete set of the 5 gundams since they've made the wing, deathsythe and shenlong so hopefully they do. Heavyarms is awesome
It is a great kit for the time, was wondering if you were going to get the Heavyarms Custom conversion kit, that's about to be released. Its a conversion for the MG Wing gundam 0 Custom from Vicious Project.
@edkwon well the technology of the wing gundam inner frame surpass the wing ver ka so yeah i like wing better for the articulation, and ver ka for the wings
the 1/44 scale haves on the for skirt extra missles but it do NOT haves a clown mask (man i dont know wich one to take ..i thinm i will take the 1/00 for the clown mask instead extra missles,but extra missles is awsome too)
I got a question here. Heavyarm custom EW use 2 beam double gatling gun but in the SD Gundam G Generation Wars game, they consider it as a simple double gatling gun using solid rounds. Plus, in the movie, when he defeat the first serpents over his appearance, you can see solid shell falling to the ground. So that's the question, whad do you think? Double Beam Gatling or Double Gatling using solid rounds? I'm a little lost here.
@edkwon not exactly the correct way to say it.. wing gundam came out rerelease of the wing ver ka/EW, deathscythe ver. ka/EW, deathscythe hell custom movie version, shenlong ver ka/EW,l and sandrock ver ka/EW is coming out in ...october? there's already a wing zero custom, not the original wing zero though....
That's actually really good considering it's age. Well heavy arms is always awesome anyhow. By the way, do I recall you working on some MG Deathscythe conversion project before? How did that go?
vegeta or anyone know if its possible to swap out parts onto a heavyarms torso? can I put tallgeese thrusters on it? can I put tallgeese thrusters on a serpent torso or wing zero wings on a deathscythe hell? anyone know if any of these are possible?
@GunplaAndPokemon It's ok tho since the EW ver Ka designs are better looking than the anime originals anyway. Original anime version of Wing Zero...not so great. Especially original Wing.
At least with Sandrock the difference between the Sandrock and Sandrock Custom in EW is literally only color. A tedious color change, but that's the extent of the problem. Oh, and I suppose the Heat Shotels of Sandrock ver Ka. just might be shorter than that of Sandrock Custom ver Ka but I'm not 100% on that. Basically, if you want Sandrock Custom ver Ka in MG, you just need to do a paint job of the Sandrock MG. Heavyarms Custom ver Ka in MG, by comparison, would require a kitbash of the 1/100 HG of Heavyarms Custom ver Ka. and the Heavyarms ver Ka. MG because you would need the second Double Barrel Beam Gattling Gun as well as the four chest gattling guns rather than the two found in the current MG. Oh and a paint job + detailing of HG parts to make it match the MG kit. So I mean, if you're willing to take the plunge - it's like 50 USD to make Heavyarms Custom MG. and like 40 USD to just buy Sandrock and then paint it to what you want. (via Amazon price listings as of mid 2016)
+aldxar do you own the MG p bandai NATAKU? If you do. Can you please tell me the difference between the mg and hg Nataku? Thanks. I am trying to justify buying a mg heavyarms =P
I own MG Nataku actually. It's definitely a much better kit. Is it worth P-Bandai? Not really. Would it be one of the best kits of the MG line this year if it wasn't so pricey? Yeah.
+Powered By Rice nope the hg endless walz line had an original 1/100 print, the shows version of the heavy arms and heavy arms kai never got a 1/100 release
gundam with loads of gunnery weapon always looks badass to me. heavyarms is always one of my favorite mobile suit to me. i did mine 1/144 some time ago gunplades.wordpress.com/2017/11/04/1144-gundam-heavy-arms-custom/ i will build the P-bandai MG version once i finish one some of my kits.
I love that the new mg heavy arms is basically the same thing but having the parts layered so it looks better
One thing I noticed with other 1/100 HG heavyarms that were reviewed by others, is that they all have flimsy arms. It's either the guns were just too heavy or the arm joints were just too flimsy, but still, I'll be ordering the 1/100 HG kit to be put beside my new Heavyarms MG.

Crazy to see how far Vegeta8259 has come in modeling and reviewing.
Dude... Heavyarms Custom is freakin amazing!!!! I've wanted the 1/144 kit for so long
The only missile pods this kit is missing are the ones on the front on the skirts, which the 1/144 had option parts for.
@statszero1 the 1/144 version has pieces you can switch out ofr that, same with the sideskirts and leg missile pods
lol, i remember thinking something similar. They technically didn't get new gundams and the movie pretends it was the same one from the tv series. They were just redesign for the big screen.
Great review, this is a lot better then i thought it was.
kinda cool the idea of Bandai for instead a rotating arm , they used a spining policap to do the articulation
looks fantastic but i would paint those green stickers
hey vegeta8259! i have never built a gundam kit before, but i decided to get this guy today! it was quite fun building it, and i am planning to get more kits in the future!
Great review.

Those CC's are hillarious, BTW. xD
no, but there are some minor parts for details like panel lines.
@idstealer000 Good news, they've done MG kits of the Gundam Wing, Wing Zero, Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell ver Ka already, its just a matter of time before they make MG versions of the rest.
you should paint this up in the origanal heavy arms like you did for the high grade
@vietsoldier01 not sure yet but they are going to release the shenlong mg soon and they are planning to do the epyon but i think they will eventually make the complete set of the 5 gundams since they've made the wing, deathsythe and shenlong so hopefully they do. Heavyarms is awesome

@edkwon well the technology of the wing gundam inner frame surpass the wing ver ka so yeah
i like wing better for the articulation, and ver ka for the wings
My first model too, way back when... can you even imagine a Master Grade version? It'd be so... sexy...
.... That'd be a pretty cool mod. Since the head does have that resemblance.
from what i remember, wasn't there 4 more missiles on each of the front skirt armour?
Dont know about this specific kit but yes it does
@vultwaz ur right its a conventional bullet not a lame beam weapon
The only pose I would ever do with a Heavy Arms Custom is with Every Pod open and both Twin Gatling in hand
@metadbz Bandai's coming out with all five main mecha in their EW and katoki designed regular version in Master Grade. just save up for those.
hey man you should show us a tour if your collection
106 missile pods . .amazing . . .
I want to buy this kit again it was my first ever gundam kit i bought and i kinda destroyed it along time ago
Actually the original Optimus toy was designed 1979. That is the same year RX-78 gundam came out.
@vegeta8259 are you going to paint this like your other kits?
Imagine if Heavy arms did the Bernie while firing all of its missiles? That would be epic O_O
the 1/44 scale haves on the for skirt extra missles but it do NOT haves a clown mask (man i dont know wich one to take ..i thinm i will take the 1/00 for the clown mask instead extra missles,but extra missles is awsome too)

Double Beam Gatling or Double Gatling using solid rounds? I'm a little lost here.
my 1/100 heavyarms custom had loose elbow joints on building so he couldnt keep his arms up with the guns
which one should i pick from 1/100 hg gundam custom heavyarms,sandrock,deathscythe hell???
it doesnt have a missile pod on its front skirts? coz the 1/144 has.. right?..
Is their going to be a MG 1/100 Heavy arms Custom E.W Version?
cool gimmicks for 1/100 high grade, the only problem that i got is that it has pretty weak arm joint for the right hand
Do the guns clip just in the hands or do they use the forearms for support as well?
i'm still waiting for a mg of this, to be honest i wouldn't care how much it would cost
Did you have to paint anything on this or glue?
which is the best among the 1 100 hg ..wing zero custom,deathscythe,sandrock or heavy arms??
plz reply
Where can I find some cheap ones?
at 7:00 that isn't full open mode, that's the enemy is screwed mode
it looks like when hes holding thos gatling gund he has....heavy arms! *ba dun tsss*
flarepie24 i pray for ur life
I hope that bandai will upgrade these kits awesome kits to Mastergrade.
Awesome review
FUN FACT: Heavy Arms head looks like Optimus Prime without the crown
Fun Fact: Seriously, Optimus Prime came before Heavyarms!
I can make do with this kit since i can't easily get the P-Bandai Master Grade.
I wish HLJ could stock P-Bandai items.
the gundam wing main suits need 2.0 version even if its no grade i mean cmon well atleast wings mg is coming up
you missed the 2 missile pods on it's front skirt armour
My brother's Heavy Arms custom had a similer problem with the legs, then it turns out that he put the thighs on wrong. They were on backwards.
Awesome
would you ever paint this kit
@edkwon not exactly the correct way to say it.. wing gundam came out rerelease of the wing ver ka/EW, deathscythe ver. ka/EW, deathscythe hell custom movie version, shenlong ver ka/EW,l and sandrock ver ka/EW is coming out in ...october? there's already a wing zero custom, not the original wing zero though....
@rich210yo
deathsycthe hell custom
or
Heavyarms custom
The head of this Heavyarms Looks more like a Transformer head than a Gundam head with all the antenna on the back of it.
I agree, sort of, the Ear-tenna do give me an Optimus vibe. The Blue colouration helps.
That's actually really good considering it's age. Well heavy arms is always awesome anyhow.
By the way, do I recall you working on some MG Deathscythe conversion project before? How did that go?
Hi Veget8259, my left side chest piece broke at the hinge! im trying to figure out how to remedy this. Any ideas?
sharat vallurupalli Super glue
ur missing 8 missiles
d ones that the spinning nocked off there were supposed to be 4 missiles in each
fun fact: actually, Optimus Prime's head looks like heavyarms head...
I got this model but i did'nt paint cause i dont have one anyone can tell me where can i buy? i live in philippines
hopin for MG Epyon!!!!
woooooo
vegeta or anyone know if its possible to swap out parts onto a heavyarms torso? can I put tallgeese thrusters on it? can I put tallgeese thrusters on a serpent torso or wing zero wings on a deathscythe hell? anyone know if any of these are possible?
@GunplaAndPokemon It's ok tho since the EW ver Ka designs are better looking than the anime originals anyway. Original anime version of Wing Zero...not so great. Especially original Wing.
they need to put this colour in MG! also same for sandrock custom, didnt like the EW version colour
At least with Sandrock the difference between the Sandrock and Sandrock Custom in EW is literally only color. A tedious color change, but that's the extent of the problem. Oh, and I suppose the Heat Shotels of Sandrock ver Ka. just might be shorter than that of Sandrock Custom ver Ka but I'm not 100% on that. Basically, if you want Sandrock Custom ver Ka in MG, you just need to do a paint job of the Sandrock MG.
Heavyarms Custom ver Ka in MG, by comparison, would require a kitbash of the 1/100 HG of Heavyarms Custom ver Ka. and the Heavyarms ver Ka. MG because you would need the second Double Barrel Beam Gattling Gun as well as the four chest gattling guns rather than the two found in the current MG. Oh and a paint job + detailing of HG parts to make it match the MG kit.
So I mean, if you're willing to take the plunge - it's like 50 USD to make Heavyarms Custom MG. and like 40 USD to just buy Sandrock and then paint it to what you want. (via Amazon price listings as of mid 2016)
They actually did but its p bandai
yea, already ordered! lol now sandrock custom is next year i hope
+aldxar do you own the MG p bandai NATAKU? If you do. Can you please tell me the difference between the mg and hg Nataku? Thanks. I am trying to justify buying a mg heavyarms =P
I own MG Nataku actually. It's definitely a much better kit. Is it worth P-Bandai? Not really. Would it be one of the best kits of the MG line this year if it wasn't so pricey? Yeah.
is his favorite kit is a heavyarm
Did you paint the missiles and guns
Devlan Vithayarath this looks like a straight-build, so no
Heavy arms is like a walking bomb LOL
The original designer must have been overcompensating for something.
you never compared your mg heavarms and your HG 1/100 heavyarms custom
I want a MG :'(
I would not want to run into H. Arms whns he's full open.
based on memory Heavy Arms didn't get any upgrade in the anime....
wait?! there's a HG 1/100?
i thought they have 1/144 HG only?!!
+Powered By Rice nope the hg endless walz line had an original 1/100 print, the shows version of the heavy arms and heavy arms kai never got a 1/100 release
HeavyArm =Missile Barrage
looks more like ultra magnus
true dat!
if you dont like it, dont look at it
They should have given heavy arms ew a knife
heavyarms is the best
feel free to lose a few kits to my address lol
can you make a video about painting this model?
+jose ramirez these are the standard colors
gundam with loads of gunnery weapon always looks badass to me.
heavyarms is always one of my favorite mobile suit to me.
i did mine 1/144 some time ago
gunplades.wordpress.com/2017/11/04/1144-gundam-heavy-arms-custom/
i will build the P-bandai MG version once i finish one some of my kits.
You could but it would be quite the abomination
DO NOT buy the 1/144 scale kit its a hunk of crud
