It is color accurate, it's just accurate to the actual digimon and not the model kit. The only gold Dukemon has is around his shoulders, knees, feet, shield, and the butt of the lance.
@@mudawott I mean, neither of you are wrong in the fact that it is accurate to the Digimon, however, his complain is 100% valid as the box and promotional pictures literally shows several parts with more colors. Now, promotional pictures of models always look better because they are hand/airbrush painted, everyone knows that, however, its just that, they are painted, they don't add colors where the model doesn't has, unlike this one. Like he said, the model is great, but the box and promotional pictures show you something that, out of the box, just doesn't exist nor will be unless you go out of your way to paint it yourself.
Ooh, it looks pretty darn beautiful assembled as is. I just saw a video of a Japanese hobbyist painting the heck out of this thing and it looked incredible, to the point that I was worried how the actual unpainted figure looks. I’m a big fan of Dukemon, so I’m definitely getting this!
The Amplified ver is basically X antibody ver already. Since we getting X-evolution series into Amplified, the release of Alphamon is pretty much confirmed already.
@@4N4NG_RAB0 at least those look somewhat similar to their original looks, just upgraded. Dukemon amplified looks almost like Dukemon X but without the laser neon parts.
Man imagine how cool mega gargolmon, magnamon or justiemon amplified would be. Be cool to see more villian digimon too like metal seadramon for example
Not all Digimon have the same markings or colors when they reach mega, there can be slight variations in the coloring on different Digimon of the same family. It's like fur patterns on a cat, siblings may look similar but the details will always be different.
Ohh i'm sooo gonna get this kit, been waiting Mecha to review it to decide to get it or not! Now i have to get it hahaha. Really love the overall design of the kit!
Out of the box, this kit’s color accuracy is actually quite true to the anime, but it is not color accurate to the box / painted kit as shown in the box.
Not gonna lie... Gallantmon's designs is a lot more simpler, not a lot of color... If you didn't tell me that it has color correcting stickers, I never would've noticed.
Even though it’s supposed to be Gallantmon/Dukemon there are so many edges to it, that it looks like Gallantmon X/Dukemon X just minus the blue glowing areas.
@@piupiu89-z3n The RG and HG gundam model sized max 13 cm = 5.12 inch, and the MG model sized approx 18 cm = 7.9 inch. Then Dukemon is taller than RG,HG model and a bit smaller the MG model, maybe 16 cm. Thanks bro. I have a new question: Figure-rise Standard Amplified Wargreymon is the same tall of Dukemon?
This is the lance that can drill a hole through dimensions/space & time! I didn't know the tamers are fans of the Giga Drill Breaker moves :D !!! By the way, the way Bandi makign the pony tail and the cape, Angemon's long flocks of blonde hair and wings can be produced :D
This would make for a very lengthy paint project but would be so worth it. Never been much one for injection metallic colours so I’d spray it all with metallic rattle cans
Woah that's more detail than the original design, it's almost as if it's an RG version of Gallantmon. The injection gold isn't even bad compared to Gundams. Also fun fact is that symbol on the chest cavity is a mark that basically means that that Digimon is far more dangerous and stronger than other Digimons on the same evolution level, though I can't remember other Digimons that also has that mark outside of Gallantmon's own evolution line
IIRC in canon the digital hazard symbol is only seen on Culumon, it's inverted on them though. It being exclusive to Guilmon is because of the threat its existence posed to the digital world as an accidental creation. A virus twisted from the base idea of agumon. Megidramon's digivolution required so much data it almost ripped apart both worlds. Its a unique symbol because of guilmons "unique" roll of being the main character
Amplified digimom more to x or upgrade model. Figurise standart is original look digimon. Wargreymon original has came out. But for me wargreymon amplified is more awesome
Can I ask what is the difference between a channel member versus patreon-like you have at the end of your videos? My husband is a HUGE fan, he is subscribed-we’re watching your videos as I type this-so what is the difference?
I bought this kit from GalacticToys and they still haven’t received their shipment from Bandai so killllll me. Shoulda bought it on Bandais site but that’s my fault. Gallantmons my favorite Digimon and I just NEED IT
Anybody else had an issue with a weak arm socket piece? as soon as I finished building him and set him up to hold his shield, the arm-socket piece snapped right off, hadn't moved it at all before that, dunno if I just got a bad piece or if this is a common issue.
Dukemon's probably my favorite of the Royal Knights but I swerved this kit for Mugendramon because it feels like they put too much unnecessary "flair" on this kit. A lot of people correctly point out that this design is leaning X-Antibody and while that has its place, I much prefer the sleek, rounded original design. And that cape...
Reminds me of "White Knight Chronicles" which is underrated. Is it tacky? Yes. Is the voice acting bad? Yes. But nothing like transforming into those knights and going ham.
I preordered 2 of these Gallantmon kits (1 in march 23rd and the other on may 16th), once june rolled around i check back everynow and again waiting for it to release, and 1 day i see its in the backordered status. I check my private warehouse and see it blank, check my inbox and see no emails from hlj. Is this normal, or has anyone else experienced this?
Wargreymon goes second place? Lucky you, mine went janky and loose over time, especially the thigh joint, after a while of standing up, Wargreymon just gave up and does splits
Now I am hoping for a shoutmon x7 or Omegashoutmon kit tbh my top 3 are Imperialdramon Omegamon and Dukemon, because these just look amazing i don't really mind the flimsy legs because i don't do much aerial poses
Maybe I'm alone but I think the original Gallantmon's design better. This looks more like a mech than a knight Digimon. This design reminds me of Escaflowne.
Hoping for a 2.0 of Omega/Omnimon, being an older kit that was already a few years old before this line released was a disservice. Also hoping for Alphamon. That sword and wings would be sick in this styling (probably have massive weight issues though)
When you're doing a size comparison with Gunpla, you missed the opportunity to compare with the Justice Knight Gundam 😆
It is color accurate, it's just accurate to the actual digimon and not the model kit. The only gold Dukemon has is around his shoulders, knees, feet, shield, and the butt of the lance.
I don't get the lack of color critique. I think he's accurate too. It's not like this is the crimson mode...
because its an amplified version. amplified versions are not supposed to be accurate as the standard ones
@@reinaldoherrera8252 Yes but he talks about how it is inaccurate. Which it isnt. The colours are spot on for OG Gallantmon

Looks like he’s on the Iron Blooded Orphans diet plan.
Bruhhhhh XD
Gallantmon was my all0time favorite Digimon. I really want to pick this up and this review helped me with that decision
The first time I'm early to a MechaG review, been watching since the time he lived in Japan.
Bandai releases Dukemon amplified..
Dukemon X: am i a joke to you?
This figure looks cool to brought it everywhere and play with it tho ngl
cough* cough* wargreymon,metalgarurumon,mugendramon/machindramon, imperialdramon and omegamon want to say something.
The Amplified ver is basically X antibody ver already. Since we getting X-evolution series into Amplified, the release of Alphamon is pretty much confirmed already.
Fyi Omegamon X amplified is coming
@@4N4NG_RAB0 at least those look somewhat similar to their original looks, just upgraded. Dukemon amplified looks almost like Dukemon X but without the laser neon parts.

I hope they will release gigasedramon someday, that Digimon is beast
My favorite digimon! The redesign looks neat.
I wish Bandai would make a Gallantmon Crimson Mode model kit
Little fact: The Japanese Voice for Dukemon is the Legend herself: Masako Nozawa aka the Voice of Goku
Not all Digimon have the same markings or colors when they reach mega, there can be slight variations in the coloring on different Digimon of the same family. It's like fur patterns on a cat, siblings may look similar but the details will always be different.
back when i first saw the previews and saw the stand for the shield, i was worried for a bit but i'm glad it can hold it without the stand.
Ohh i'm sooo gonna get this kit, been waiting Mecha to review it to decide to get it or not! Now i have to get it hahaha. Really love the overall design of the kit!
Hoping for Beelzebumon blast mode for this Dukemon.
After that maybe Gallantmon crimson mode.
pleaseeeee
This Or Megagargomon
Is it on purpose that you guys left out Sakuyamon to not get bonked?
@@birifumi yes
Mecha: Most Gunpla shields don't feel like they'd deflect anything.
Me: Oh, so you mean they're anime accurate then. (Ba Dum Doosh)
Underrated comment 💀
My brother ordered Omegamon (Omni) Amplified for Christmas last year. It just came in yesterday.
The longest cape part is on the wrong side but still looks cool though.
Aaah daam just expose him like that huh
Nerd
@@absyahwa7698 how are they a nerd when you can see it on the box?
@@absyahwa7698 troll
If we are gonna go there, the gauntlet in hand mode is upside down. It should be pointy end down.
since we now moved to Tamers does that mean we will get Frontier next? an Emperor Greymon and Magna Garurumon?
susanoomon next 😎
If they did release a emp.. Greymon and magna garumon, Do you think they would make it in a way that you could kitbash/ combined them into
susanoomon
i cant wait for savers
The next kit is Omnimon X variant. So they are just going all over the place
i dont think so, they are probably releasing the royal knights before anything else
“ we have a dukemon kit at home!”
:…. Justice knight gundam.
Probably Me That Thinks That Justice Knight Looks Like Dukemon Just Gray And White Version Because I'm A Digimon And Gundam Fan :(
When Dukemon throws his mighty shield…
All those who opposed the shield must yield
Hell imagine if they started making the digimon spirit figured at this quality. It really be something
Im setting Dukemon and Mugendramon fighting cause it would be cool to have a white holy knight vs a large black dragon
Im between both and after reading this i will have to get both....
There's also a new omegamon model kit coming out. The Amplified X Antibody version
Out of the box, this kit’s color accuracy is actually quite true to the anime, but it is not color accurate to the box / painted kit as shown in the box.
Can I ask where you get the cape for vidar? I see your review about it and I interesting in the vidar wit cape
Not gonna lie... Gallantmon's designs is a lot more simpler, not a lot of color... If you didn't tell me that it has color correcting stickers, I never would've noticed.
Its really glad to hear you said a Solid to the kit 😂👍🏼
Still waiting to receive mine. Totally worth the money.
Machinedramon Amplified IS the best. The articulation is unexpectedly good.
Any chance of the Machinedramon review dropping soon?
So we've got wargreymon and ommimon, imperialdramon, and now gallentmon, I really hope we get to season 5 and get a shine greymon kit
Don't forget about some Season 4 rep. I really want to see how they handle Susanoomon.
Shine greymon would look really kewl
Well, your wish has been granted
Question for the experienced gunpla builder. What type of paint do u guys suggest. Gloss or Matt finish?
Can u take a photo side by side with any barbatos hg mg or fm.?
Even though it’s supposed to be Gallantmon/Dukemon there are so many edges to it, that it looks like Gallantmon X/Dukemon X just minus the blue glowing areas.
Really hope they make a Beelzemon kit with bike.
When you say ad chrome for the tranlucid bits what you mean by that extzact ?
My favorite thing about HLJ is that you pre-order then if they oversold a pre-order you become a backorder
still feeling that one
What is it size?
Is it the same size as the 1: 144 scale HG / RG gundam? about 12 cm
Bigger than my HG gundam strike freedom.. a bit small than regular MG gundam. But machinedramon & imperialdramon kit bigger than my MG gundam
@@piupiu89-z3n The RG and HG gundam model sized max 13 cm = 5.12 inch, and the MG model sized approx 18 cm = 7.9 inch.
Then Dukemon is taller than RG,HG model and a bit smaller the MG model, maybe 16 cm.
Thanks bro. I have a new question: Figure-rise Standard Amplified Wargreymon is the same tall of Dukemon?
@@nenginer more wider but just bit taller include spike
@@nenginer bandai has release 2 version of wrgreymon. Amplified and figurise standard. Amplified more to x version
Rewatching a lot of Mecha Gaikotsu's videos and this one reminded me... WHEN IS THE MACHINEDRAMON REVIEW?!
This is the lance that can drill a hole through dimensions/space & time! I didn't know the tamers are fans of the Giga Drill Breaker moves :D !!!
By the way, the way Bandi makign the pony tail and the cape, Angemon's long flocks of blonde hair and wings can be produced :D
This would make for a very lengthy paint project but would be so worth it. Never been much one for injection metallic colours so I’d spray it all with metallic rattle cans
Gallantmon in Either Trans Blue Or Neon Trans Green With a Onyx Black body with silver trim would be dope as hell.
Mecha how bout wargreymon and blackwargreymon amplified, which one better?
Finally! I've been waiting for this one!
Well, they announced Omegamon X, so the hope for a Dukemon X exists.
So you're going to review the absolute juggernaut that is Mugendramon? Can't wait for that one.
Woah that's more detail than the original design, it's almost as if it's an RG version of Gallantmon. The injection gold isn't even bad compared to Gundams. Also fun fact is that symbol on the chest cavity is a mark that basically means that that Digimon is far more dangerous and stronger than other Digimons on the same evolution level, though I can't remember other Digimons that also has that mark outside of Gallantmon's own evolution line
IIRC in canon the digital hazard symbol is only seen on Culumon, it's inverted on them though. It being exclusive to Guilmon is because of the threat its existence posed to the digital world as an accidental creation. A virus twisted from the base idea of agumon. Megidramon's digivolution required so much data it almost ripped apart both worlds. Its a unique symbol because of guilmons "unique" roll of being the main character
Omegamon X be like: I want to redeem my other self.
any chance youll add a story of this after painting the gold?
Can't wait for the rest of the Knights of the Round Table Digimons.
Difficult choice between getting this or Machinedramon
I think they did tease some magnamon kit, I'm not sure if it's amplified or the regular one.
Thanks for the link. Here’s hoping we get a anime accurate version of Gallantmon/Dukemon later.
Going to be honest here this thing looks like gallantmon x
Amplified digimom more to x or upgrade model. Figurise standart is original look digimon. Wargreymon original has came out. But for me wargreymon amplified is more awesome
Does the sliding effect part for the shield come as its own runner?
6:43 HOLLLLY SHIIIIIIIELD !
Can I ask what is the difference between a channel member versus patreon-like you have at the end of your videos? My husband is a HUGE fan, he is subscribed-we’re watching your videos as I type this-so what is the difference?
What’s the plugs in front of the shield used for?
Takato : Dukemon!
Dukemon : Takato!
That looks cool!
Not really related to Gallantmon, but I noticed how you're using this cracked floor backdrop for this review. Is this also available @ HLJ? Thanks!
This and Mugendramon are the two Digimon model kits I need more
Mugendramon(machinedramon) is super expensive
Definitely agree with Machinedramon being the best, just built mine 🙂
I am grabbing this kit, hopefully I can still order
Ugh, I was so relieved to not to have to align the eyes, until you dashed my hopes lol.
I bought this kit from GalacticToys and they still haven’t received their shipment from Bandai so killllll me. Shoulda bought it on Bandais site but that’s my fault. Gallantmons my favorite Digimon and I just NEED IT
so i saw in th shop that this needs plastic cement and paint is this true or ?
Anybody else had an issue with a weak arm socket piece? as soon as I finished building him and set him up to hold his shield, the arm-socket piece snapped right off, hadn't moved it at all before that, dunno if I just got a bad piece or if this is a common issue.
Looking to do a Norse themed gundam. Could you please give me a suggestion on a kit for my base?

A lot of people correctly point out that this design is leaning X-Antibody and while that has its place, I much prefer the sleek, rounded original design. And that cape...
I wonder how they'll do the literal walking knife that is Jesmon

Is that BAD for 4500 yen?😱
Yeah.. better RG Eva 👍

Also hoping for Alphamon. That sword and wings would be sick in this styling (probably have massive weight issues though)
With Omegamon X already up for preorder, I don't think Bandai would redesign the normal one.
The upcoming Omegamon X Amplified is an updated of old kit already.
@@casvalcat3546 I never seen any Omegamon kit by Bandai beside the old normal Omegamon so I'm not sure which kit you meant.
This is a sick kit
I had one from hlj that sadly never shipped
Wait till you see the stickers on those Kamen Rider Figure rise kits
The wrists guards are on backwards.
this has Kazami's Aegis Knight written all over it
used to adore digimon series, started to ditch it at the point where the vast majority strong digimons have to be in humanoid forms
I really think mecha should change the abbreviation for early real grade syndrome from E.R.S to E.R.G.S nonetheless, great video.
Can't wait FRSA omega on X to release
