The zeon kits from 0080 are a bit outdated, but I still love them. The z’gok-E was a tough one with the seam lines through some of the vents. I felt like I was resculpting them trying to make the putty look even. By the way, as far as Dom’s, it seems anything with rick is a rework for space and tropen is a tropical or sandy terrain use. That’s the Rick Dom 2 in the background. And another Dom that had two colors without one being a web exclusive. I don’t think there were any differences other than color for the two Rick Dom 2 releases.
Ive looked high and low for the old conversion kit in the hopes that i can graft it to a Gelgoog 2.0 with some work, but ive had no luck. Really would love an official complete MG
@@paktahn I’m no where near experienced enough for something like that, I feel like it would be hell to try and recreate such a slim and angular body onto the chonk that is a Gelgoog at my level. But it really feels like it’s what I’ll have to do honestly.
@@kristopheralonge2813 Ive also tried and it didnt turn out. id L O V E a proper MG. i just hope they dont let katoki get to it. i dont want a Jager with thin mile long legs and a tiny head.
@@kristopheralonge2813 Facts. altho the external detail on the regular MG Gelgoog 2.0 is p damn good. its got a few problems like being kinda loose in the waist and bad leg articulation but other than that its a really cool kit. deff worth having one just to look badass on the shelf. i can only imagine how nice a MG Gelgoog Jager would be.
I got this kit for Christmas 2 years ago and painted it in German winter camo from ww2 and gave it the geara zulu's shield with an iron cross decal on it. On of my favorites although it does show its age
You can hardly see the thrusters under the lower leg armour, but I like that you get them in the box. Thanks for the review. It's always nice to see older kits OOB.
Hopefully Bandai pays more attention to the kits you have recently made reviews for. I would love to see HG revives of all these and master grades of them as well(if they don't already have one).
@@paktahn I didn't mean that Bandai goes out of their way to look to look at Zakuareilus videos and then determine the next set of kits. Regardless, you are very much correct. Its realistic that they would make decisions based on what sells well. However, it would be nice if they brought back older kits with revives, all they really have to do is modernize them. Just dont half ass it like they did with their recent Rick Dias recently.
I have this machine in my collection. Not yet built but plan on building my main custom Gunpla from Gundam Breaker 3 and it's mostly the Jager's body with the Freedom Gundam's Wings.
@@cnhnx you're right, char's gelgoog was number 70 in the HGUC line while the jager is number 40 in the line. I wonder why they didn't fix the proportion then.
@@marljhonamolat1127 Like HGUC Zaku II, Char's Gelgoog was meant to have anime-accurate proportion and design. It's "not bad" or need to be fixed, it is meant to be simple and have old-school look of Okwara's lineart from 1979. If anything I think it's Jager that need to be fixed as it's not accurate to Izubuchi's lineart. The model has undersized head with overly large feet.
I would absolutely fuckin adore a MG Gelgoog Jager based off the Gelgoog 2.0 frame. well improved version of that frame. could be more solid at the waist and could have better knee articulation.
I have this. Pretty cheap and it's fairly easy to modify for seamline removal. You should consider modding the shoulder joints for more articulation though.
Yeah, it essentially looks good, especially with the beam machine gun, but it shows it’s age pretty hard with its articulation and lack of accessories. It goes the same with the p-bandai Shin Matsunaga with the only difference being its colors, stickers, and questionably “updated” parts. I still enjoyed building and playing with it regardless!
DarkAlex1978 Essentially! The rest of the weaponry is already “installed” on the kit and its beam saber aren’t included as apparently it’s not specified where it is stored on the mobile suit.
To be fair, the lack of accessories is accurate to the armaments of the MS itself not being much and at least it comes with an open hand that can convincingly grab onto the rifle for support.
This is my absolute favorite Zeon suit and it hurts my soul that there is no 1/100 kit for this. In fact, the Cima command suit, the standard Gelgoog Marine, and this 0080 Jager all don't have MG 1/100 kits.
Old HGUC kits are always so weird on what they part separate and what they leave as just molded detail. Like those little vents on the front of the shoulder but not the ones on the side. The vulcans in the forearms, but not the vents on the front bottom of the crotch. The bottom of the feet. too. You've got fairly new HG's like the Destiny which has small feet but hollow spaces that seem like they wouldn't have taken that much plastic to fill. Meanwhile this dude has huge feet and no hollow spaces.
Dude I had that kit when I was a kid and I used to treat that thing like a toy which it didn't last long. Ever since then, it was one of my favorite Gundam kits and I just cannot wait to get another one and make it look very nice for my bedroom display.
I always feel that zeon / gundam enemies mobile suit design are more attractive. Gelgoog Jager, messer, kampfer, gerbera, queen mansha, zaku high mobility type, act zaku, shinanju, gears doga, Zulu, khsatriya, marasai, gabthley, sazabi etc etc. Yes it's hit and miss but man their design are so creative. Compared To the earth federation, some of it is cool but feel like monotone design. Gundam is cool but the design language are too repetitive. Jegan is cool but still like generic machine.
@@Dexcal probably sighting the error he made when he said the Dom Tropen when in reality it was the rick Dom 2 that the jager was next to in the picture.
Generally, any HG kit from War in the Pocket excluding the GM Sniper II is going to be bad, even for their age. It's as if Bandai just didn't care about the quality of that series' models...
Kampfer holds up well while the GM sniper Ii is severely limited by single jointed elbows and meh leg articulation, the cool kneeling sniper poses you can do with the MG are impossible with the HG.
@@GunFeverr Just about the only problem with the Sniper II is the elbows and that's just because it was made in the era when Bendai forgot how to make double jointed elbows and is a good kit otherwise, and only then because it was made a while after the 0080 kits.
Zaku II Kai is actually good though, it isn't the best kit out there yeah and the RE 1/100 is objectively better but it is decent enough for what it is.
I love the Gelgoog Jager, probably my favorite Zeon suit. I really hope we get an updated version of some grade soon
The Robot Damashii Ver ANIME is really good, if you’re willing to shell out for it.
if there comes an MG of this , if it can do a full kneel i'm going straight at it
Fun fact: the Gelgoog Jager's gun is a machine gun with sniper rifle accuracy
Sounds like every gun in the Battlefield franchise...
and it long
and it long
sometimes i imagine a potato with a scope and a firecracker
On the gundaminfo channel's video of the Jager, it's said to be referred to as the sniper type by zeon pilots

I was desperate enough to try this too and I also didn't have what I'd call a success. The special Gelgoogs really need MG releases.

@@Zaku186 lol, you may have a point there. I'll bet the panel lining and part separation would be great tho.

I love mine, a fav for sure. Just another reminder the long overdue updated kits for many monoeye MS's are way behind the other side lol
Well in B.O the beam rifle has a burst shot and charged single shot
It's such a cool design that I'd really like to see an MG of it
I hope they release an rg gelgoog. Will buy one for sure
I'd kill for a RG Gelgoog Jager.
I got this kit for Christmas 2 years ago and painted it in German winter camo from ww2 and gave it the geara zulu's shield with an iron cross decal on it. On of my favorites although it does show its age
I hope bandai would release a hg revive version of this.. 😍
Funny thing about the jagers gun, it's an MG 42 without its signature magazine drum and with a scope put on it.
Getting a 1/100 kit for any of the special variants of the Gelgoog is #1 on my wishlist. Just a pipe dream tho as I don't expect Bandai to ever do it.
You can hardly see the thrusters under the lower leg armour, but I like that you get them in the box. Thanks for the review. It's always nice to see older kits OOB.
kind of surprised at the level of part separation with the verneers in the front of the shoulders and the top of the backskirt.
thats the first open hand ive seen that is convincingly supporting a barrel.
If you can get past the seam lines, this kit and the HGUC Rick Dom II are still some of the best looking 'old' HG kits you can find.
Hopefully Bandai pays more attention to the kits you have recently made reviews for. I would love to see HG revives of all these and master grades of them as well(if they don't already have one).

Is this the Gelgoog that keeps moving forward until its enemies are destroyed? 😂
Someday, at least a RE/100 kit of this guy should be announced. Zaku II Kai gave me hope!
I have this machine in my collection. Not yet built but plan on building my main custom Gunpla from Gundam Breaker 3 and it's mostly the Jager's body with the Freedom Gundam's Wings.
The Jaeger is the one of the only Gelgoogs that I like. It fixes my main gripes with the ‘goog; the skirts and the backpack
Been wanting a MG of the Jager for years now.
I always remember this suit as "the suit where the zaku I sniper got it's riffle" lol nice review
Anyone who played gundam 0081 on PS3 remembers that damn beam machine gun. One of the most broken guns in the game.
Cant wait till my gelgoog jager comes in. Looking forward to building this kit
I would like to see what you could add to this kit and kit bash with other newer zeon suits. This should be a from trash to treasure project.
The old hguc chars gelgoog is more articulated compared to the gelgoog jager. But the jager has a better proportion compared to the char's gelgoog.
Char's Gelgoog is newer, 2007 I think.
@@cnhnx you're right, char's gelgoog was number 70 in the HGUC line while the jager is number 40 in the line. I wonder why they didn't fix the proportion then.

BANDAI! Listen to me now, and hear me later. RG Gelgoog. Imagine all the P-Bandai money you can make with minimal effort.
I got this kit. I knew wgat j was getting. And the build zeon hands save this model
I like a lot this version . thanks for the video .
And if you think this one is old , I am building the B-club 1/75 vinyl version . :P
I would absolutely fuckin adore a MG Gelgoog Jager based off the Gelgoog 2.0 frame. well improved version of that frame. could be more solid at the waist and could have better knee articulation.
I love the Jager, I did a resin mod on the gelgoog 1.0... It was kinda rough but it looks pretty good.. Just has even less articulation lol
I like when u do unboxing and review
I have this. Pretty cheap and it's fairly easy to modify for seamline removal. You should consider modding the shoulder joints for more articulation though.
There is a HG Premium Bandai of Shin Matsunagas’ Gelgoog Jager that came out in October of 2018
Yes and Johnny Ridden’s also
its early kit like the basic one, but the jager proportion looks so much better

Hg origin proto Gelgoog would be the coolest thing
Id like that thunderbolt version of the gelgoog marine.
@@sommer98 Ah yes that would be cool
My favorite Gelgoog.
Maybe use some of the parts for the GPO2. Sure it's a Zeon kit, but GPO2 was made by mostly Zeon engineers.

Would love to see you paint that gun in MG42 color
Having built the mg gelgoog 2.0 as my first Zeon mg I would love to see a mg of this based on that frame
ZakuAurelius thank you so much for the discount code ZakuAurelius10 it has saved me a lot of money.
you're very welcome!
Colors mean it could have been meant for Char
I have a feeling that all of united maintenance plan mobile suits except kampfer would be re/100s but i hope i'm wrong
I got the Damashii instead. Better possibility.
this would be a decent kit to modernize >_>
The mobile suit that destroyed marley
Dude I had that kit when I was a kid and I used to treat that thing like a toy which it didn't last long. Ever since then, it was one of my favorite Gundam kits and I just cannot wait to get another one and make it look very nice for my bedroom display.
cant find this kit anymore......
ah yes Gelgoog Jager, the missing Jaeger family member from Attack on Titan.
Lmao

Yes it's hit and miss but man their design are so creative.

Rick Dom II
the hg gelgoog kit is far better then the jager mainly the joints.
Hmmm interesting
Don’t remember that from Pacific Rim
Beam Machine gun actually
Thats a Rick Dom II not a tropen
Where is the Iron Man why are you teasing us bro LOL
You may like the Cgue deep arms
I do like the design but the kit looks pretty meh. Is it good?
@@ZakuAurelius it's ok, nothing great, but i like the design
There was another print of this kit made for America and it was way worst then this. The plastic was way more brittle and the skirt wasn’t as nice
Rick Dom II not Dom Tropen why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope
🤨
Nope what?
yep
