IBO's Gundam Frame is pretty well-designed. Too bad Bandai didn't took advantage of it instead 3rd party model kit manufacturers are milking it.
Yeah, some of the third party metal etch and metal parts conversion kit for HG/MG Gundam Frame is looks good and at same time affordable.
Imagine if Bandai made an official "Metal Parts Conversion kit". It's going to be P-bandai and 3 times -faster- more expensive.
@@First-Name_Last-Name p-bandai is always gonna "Char"-ge you quite a pretty penny!
Fun fact: This line of figure from Motor Nuclear is adapted from a manhua called Legend of star general. The plot is not so...new, I think because it was made just for selling the figure, but it still kinda interesting to read.
I read it.
Same i read it too... It's pretty cool...
The lubu's model. the horse is huge and the overall design is beyond amazing. The amount of moveable parts is beyond expectation. It is definetly worth the price
Ayee I have this! Mine was defected the one side of the wings WOULD not go into the backpack slot I had to literally use a hammer to get it in and still is not half way through eventually I hammered it enough that it's inside :'D Thank goodness the build quality is strong
I hammered it into my wife, we have twins now...that refuse to sleep.
Funny thing: Motor Nuclear means Nuclear motor or Nuclear Reactor in spanish
Have you recovered financially from it?
@@notfutomomo3424 I remember only paying around 200 USD for it sometime last year~ It's an old kit. I remember paying less than my actual metal builds that I own. Weird how the site listed release date is may 2022 that is super false 😂
Finally..
BTW this Figure is from Chinese comic named Legend of Star General
I think I've heard of it
Some early adopters of this feel bittersweet. On the one hand, it is indeed a very high quality, well made figure. On the other hand... when it was first advertised people ordered it thinking that it was a stylized, non-chibi version of the Ryuoumaru from Mashin Hero Wataru (it was a very popular anime in China). It had a head and shoulder design style to the Metal Myth Dragon King Barbatos. However inexplicably towards the final release, Motor Nuclear pivoted away from the design and early pre-orders were dismayed to learn that we got this 'humanoid-looking' facesculpt instead, and that they were focusing on their own original IP. There were plenty of people who felt burned by Motor Nuclear and refused to purchase any of their later figures even though they were highly rated. Motor Nuclear only have themselves to blame for losing good will of those customers to other brands like CangDao Tibetan Model and MoShow, both of which are also producing high quality metal build figures at 1/72 size.
it was prob cuz the licensing went sideways and they had to make the product anyways but under a different name and ip
Honestly been waiting/hoping to see if you would do a review of the Motor Nuclear range. Been really wanting one as i love all the designs i have seen but was cautious especially given the cost. Awesome job as always and much appreciated!
So I was curious and looked into it. This is the second of 5 different figures in this line (named of course MNQ-01 through MNQ-05). 04 seems more my cup of tea, but using that order, the first one is Yellow/gold/red primarily, and transforms into a western style dragon. Second is of course this with the phoenix motif. Three is blue/White/green with a chinese dragon motif. Doesn't appear to transform himself, but does come with a secondary chinese dragon that turns into bits of armor on him. 04 is black/red/gold and doesn't seem to have the mythological motifs of the rest (maybe a demon?) nor a transformation, but kind of looks amazing with his cape/backpack thing and weapons. 05 which looks like the one he shows in the video, but minus the horse, purple/black/red, named Lu Bu which is based on his namesake.
They mostly look similar in terms of chest/feet/waist, but all have different heads and armor bits and very different accessories. Lu Bu appears to be an exception, as that one particularly has different feet. They are also all incredibly expensive (450-500 USD range). But yeah, if that's not a deal breaker and you're looking for a different scheme than this one, there are others.
The entire line is their effort at an original IP, there is a Chinese manhua called "Legend Of Star General" being made (and translated). It's not very good, very generic story. The designs though are interesting.
thanks for all the info!!
The MNQ-04 is gan jiang base on a mythology about a sword smith couple
They made two legendary sword named husband sword and the wife sword
And the two sword are told to be invincible or smt as far as i remember
@@nguyenthaiduong3605 you're talking about Kanshou and Bakuya, right?
The 1/72 scale model kit has waaaay more detail, definitely a must buy!
I just started the model version of this. It is absolutely amazing and beyond pleasant to build so far(got torso, waist and head)
Id love if motor nuclear actually did full on build kits for these models, the build is the fun part for me haha
Your prayers have been answered. They're making a 1/100 scale, metal frame version, of their Ao Bing/ Blue Dragon figure. They're even doing a special coating version. Hopefully, if it does well, they'll do a kit of their other figures; including the one in this video.
@@gregorysmith908 Ha never thought Id see the day, Ive seen some pictures of it and it does look great, hopefully not too hard to get in the west
@@noONExD It shouldn't be. It's up for preorder in some places stateside and some out of the country.
@@gregorysmith908 I'll have a dig when I've got some time, im in EU so it can be a pain getting some kits haha
Just like other commenter said, the 5th model (lu bu) is quiet an asthonising figure. But personally i like the 3rd model with the blue dragon, it just kills it for me. So good. Great video always
You NEED to keep it in your room right on the top shelf where you do the shelf presences. That thing is absolutely godlike.
I wanted to let you if you see this, but because of you. I recently got into gundam and the first one that I got was Ban Dai MG RX-78-2 ver 3.0. I have been really enjoying building it in my free from work.
I have the black dragon one, i nick name it the destroyer of hands due to all the sharp spiky bits everywhere. Very hard to hold, but i love it to bits
I just built the ao bing from this company and I'm shocked at how good it is for the price. I'd love for you to review it, it's more of a traditional gunpla style build, and it's actually about MG size. Plus it comes with a dragon, what's not to love lol
Talking about the model kit version of the Ao Bing, just learned there's a figure too..can't speak on that but the kit is great
I got this as well as the rest of the Motor Nuclear on my channel. They are good as MoShow. You finally got it now. Yay.
That neck lighting up is awesome 😎
Hey you should do a video on what gundams (and other kits) have the most robust joints and best connections its something thats super overlooked in most reviews
Finally you review the nuclear motor! Thank you mechagaikotsu 😍
I would like to see more if this third party stuff and comparison in the future it’s mostly interesting.
MechaG got a taste of third party awesomeness he cant get enough of it
i saw one at ali express and just thought it was some random gundam bootleg but after looking at more models i realised that they are actually really cool models, i dont think they beat the sazabi or the hi nu but oh lord now i love them
You should check out the Black dragon unit from them as well. Its the best one they have currently and is the largest as far as parts count. Also they have an upcoming demon figure that is amazing.
We need more 30 Minute Missions
Ngl the mostly black and white color scheme paired with that pointy part on the chest, really reminds me of
King J Der from Gaogaigar
it looks like a mix between real robot and super robot. this looks very good.
I got this as well as the rest of the Motor Nuclear on my channel. They are good as MoShow. You finally got it now. Yay. They are huge with the wings. So need a lot of space. I am still waiting my MN-Q05 deluxe with horse.
The MNP series released this year, it's the plastic model version with metal frame
Hi , how do you clean panel Lines from titanium finish type model kits? , I ' m thinking about buy the elite Ao Bing , but i am worried about the finish , i usually use accent and zippo fluid , and i cannot use in house spray coating ....
AYYYYYYYYYYY GONNA WATCH THIS WHILE HAVING CLASS
You can also check Cangdao brand!
I've been wanting to get the gold dragon one for so long!
have you heard of Cangdao?
they also have awesome figure
Got the MNQ 03 Chinese Dragon + Gundam is really great and for me worth the price.
i have the MNQ 03 the one with the dragon and its awesome as hell
hey, are you going to get the Model Kit version and make comparison with the this figure ?
This clearly is inspired also by the conversion kit of Barbatos Lupus Rex with Ryujinmaru. Because it gives so many Barbatos vibes. Its so cool. Amazing review!
Have you seen the new Metal Build Crossbones Full Cloth Black Flag yet? Its bigger than a MG Eclipse Gundam and is a Fully Cloth Crossbones on a Barbatos Frame
Hi,i wanna ask for everyone's opinion. Kind of a new builder here only started with hg barbatos. For my next buy thinking of going with the tallgeese then the month after choosing between rg sazabi or rg nu gundam. I wonder which one is the better choice. Thanks in advance
I was hoping you'd found one of their complex models to actually be really good as I've only heard near disaster stories about their glorious and 'oh so tempting' kits! A lot of money to gamble on a kit that might just fight you all the way...
I have this bad boy! It is awesome. A fair Warning however. The instructions were unclear how to remove the pommel from the sword and I wound up ripping the top part of the handle out of the blade by the plastic. I don't know if mine just happened to have a weak bit of plastic there or if it is common across all kits. Just be careful while dealing with the sword handles everyone.
Dude I wish I had your collection so cool
Bonus with removable pommel "You can end them rightly".
Waiting you to review another MNQ series especially MNQ-05 LV BU, and also a model kit of Motor Nuclear MNP XH series.
I was expecting that there will be A TON of part for u to put together tho but I guess that fine too
That's probably just me thinking out loud here, but the whole Motor Nuclear line definitely gives me some serious ass Shoji Kawamori mixed with Koichi Ohata vibes and with just that tang of Masami Obari too. In other words, they looks fucking awesome.
you can try sewing machine oil on the wing to see if it will ove in.
Mecha, will you be doing another top 5 gundam from each line, it's been quite a while since the last top 5 vid
I wish you showed more of the transformation. At least without the Gundam on its back. But the figure looks awesome.
this give me a strong Super Robot Wars Original Generations unit especially the Cybuster due to how it transforms albeit through parts-forming but it is still similar to the Cybuster's transformed mode in terms of layout.
same for me.
Its main sword (the golden one) reminds me of the Dis Cutter from the Cybuster, at least to a degree.
That is so cool!
I have two that are similar to this and both of them use Gundams Bael and Barbatos as their base and take them to the next level. The first is the Sanada Yukimura Bael and the second is the Barbatos Dragon Lord or Ryuginmaru. Both were made in China but I forgot the names of the companies that made them, check them Mecha and everyone. 😊👍👍👍
Devil Hunter. They designed 7, released 4 under that name. The fifth was probably the one that caused them to shut down, a stylized version of the Crossbone Full Cloth Gundam (but using a Barbatos body). It was called the Devil Hunter YY03 Black Flag, and I think it was still released but under a different brand name.
@@ArionRDAW Thanks, I had totally forgotten, I was just so impressed to see Bael (one of my top 5 in the franchise) designed to look like Sanada Yukimura from Sengoku Basara I just had to have it for my collection.😊👍✌
do you mind sharing how big is the packaging is ? thanks
Its cool that you feature 3rd party kits
I love these figure and i really want to buy yhe Seiryu and black dragon one
Wish this kit was more like the Judge; where we actually piece it together. Still; a really nice looking kit.
This company just made 1 of their "metal build" into model kit w/metal frame recently (the green one with 1meter length dragon). Might happen with this one as well.
They are making kit versions of this line, search for "Motor Nuclear MNP".
at the other channel, they must build, but here u got already builded, is it different version?
the company that brought this motor nuclear is about to be making model kits of these
where did you hear this? i'd be super interested!
@@kingdasking when they release the SD versions That's what the next buzzs was about I should have asked if it was going to be a metal frame I doubt it though
Will you ever review the model kits?
At first glance, my mind thought this was an Escaflowne or Cybuster custom.
I own the black dragon and it is amazing.
That’s insane
Mecha could you do a review on the hg strike noir
now you should review mnq-01, or the golden dragon. or maybe the blu one
6:23 My heart stopped for a moment!
I got the motor nuclear 04 n it was 250 ,the one with the horse sold for 500 when it released, I'm guessing it way way higher now
Guys how much time does It takes to get a model kit in HLJ if It is in backordered? Can wait for my wing zero custom ver.ka.
why don't you contact hlj directly instead of asking random people on the internet? jesus...
What is the on on the top shelf in the center
This thing really looks like Ryuohmaru from Mashin Hero Wataru
have to scroll down this far to find a Wataru comment, sad day for old school mecha fan. When you copy design that old(and NOT that old at the same time because bandai made new series for it for NEXT Edge and have it on youtube) I m getting the same feel when people call Gundams Transformers when the head is 100% Ryu____Maru variation.
i think this line gunpla model from manhwa that i read about warior back to past ad can sprit cantrack and ride this mech because i remember lubu and his horse
I always see this on Amazon and all i was thinking it could be fake but i was wrong 😭 thank you now im gonna order it
There's 5 of them, a sixth one will come out... eventually. Get them all!!!
Hoping you would take your time to get the number 5. Because it got a robot horse too 😄
Barbitos and the strike freedom fusion dance.
This is a combo of a Gundam, Zoid, and Tekkaman all rolled into one.
MY GOD ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS WOULD GIVE ALL MY MTG COLLECTION FOR ONE NO JOKE
I noticed this this was named Cao Ren on the box, of which he's from Romance Of The Three Kingdoms/Dynasty Warriors. Cao Ren typically doesn't have phoenix imagery iirc... And they're doing a Lu Bu WITH RED HARE!!?
Now we wait for you to review MNP-XH03 once it come out
Will you be taking a look at the kit version coming out 🤔?
gunpla collection tour plsssss
Can I request you to review the tianwei Cangdao model kit next?
has a marchosias/Barbatos/Bael hybrid feel
Anyone else notice that the twin sword/lance looks exactly or similar to Tekkaman blade blaster form lance, hopefully if orange cat industry does the blaster form the lancer looks as good as that
I can see that.
They are amazing I have the MOTOR NUCLEAR : MNQ-04 GAN JIANG
Very cool
I have a recommendation you should check out cangdao white tiger gundam . It’s on the site where you bout this 😅😅😁
Lu Bu's already out the horse is the size of a small dog.
Reminds me of a knightmare frame, but WAY bigger
I have the Lubu deluxe, lubu is my favorite character in dynasty warriors and three kingdom worth every penny. I might also get the guan yu.. when my wife is on vacation with the in-laws lol
You should check out the motor nuclear ao bing.
that is from the Legend of Star Generals a manhwa series from china
Anything slapped with "wings of light" looks great, isn't it? Lol
moshow, motor nuclear and cangdao, i think its safe to say these 3 china brands are the best metal build producer, moshow for modern design, motor nuclear and changdao for more fantasy like design, oh if you are able please review cangdao white tiger, my favorite metal build design lol
they make more affordable model kit versions of these. i think they might be closer to MG size
Honestly. I bought Ao Bing a year ago, initially I loved how these models looked they were so unique ! But a lot of people started comparing it to “IBO” which this does not look close to. If you know your sources well this just an elongated version of Mashin Warriors Ryu Maru and the rest of the cast with some twists and extra detail. I ended up giving it away to a friend because it just didn’t fit my primarily “real robot” models with the exception of CCS TOYS gurren lagann and Dynaaction Eva 1.
The Motor Nuclear figures were compared to IBO because of the inner frame skeleton, which is basically copied from Bandai's metal build version. The Metal Myth Dragon King Barbatos was the first to do it, then followed by the Devil Hunter DH-01 Date Masamune and DH-02 Sanada Yukimura. In Devil Hunter's case, they went even further: they copied the 3rd party resin kits for the outer armor as well.
@@ArionRDAW oh yeah I’m aware of the other actual 3rd party kits that use Barbatos frame. But what I’m saying is this frame isn’t close to an IBO frame at all. It’s more close to a strike freedom type of frame to be honest.
Man he looks like a digimon, tekkaman, or something. Either way he's cool!
can the armor be removed for painting?
Bro try the SNAA Falcon hunt and kill!
will it crack if i panel line it?
