Why is it that most of the reviews of this kit always neglect the fact that the emergency pod has a little switch to rotate the pilot figure into a more vertical position when it's installed inside of the mobile suit?
+정우재 i don't think the rx 78 was supposed to have waist movement iirc cmiimw the first gundam to have waist movement in the canon is gundam mk ii, it stated that before the the gundam mk ii all mobile suit previously have their armor on top of their armor without much consideration about their movability, only after mk ii they decide to graft the armor based on the frame to allow more complex movement
I watched the anime, it really almost isn't like any other gundam series. Apart from the fantastic animation, the story is also kinda dark and it paints the really sad and painful story of war, where you really feel it when lives are lost...
If you like Thunderbolt, watch MS IGLOO (1 & 2) that has similar darker story set in UC OYW. But you might be turned off by the CG characters. And MS IGLOO 2 is a bit weird with the Shinigami character, not unlike the later part of the Thunderbolt manga which is also weird.
Errr it's really just like any other UC Gundam, the difference is just the OST and amazing animation, but that's about it when it comes to difference, everything else was there from the beggining, only done better because of the time frame.
The white with a tint of blue goes well with the space theme. It's nice the cameras go all the way front and back. I also prefer the finger swapping. You forgot to mention that the cockpit can rotate forward. No bend at the waist could be a due to them deciding to keep it more stable; especially with armor parts added. Overall I think the problems stem from the use of the vinyl joint covers.
It's been two years and four months, I havent seen my kids since this came out due to waiting for part two. Mecha please, i'm so hungry for the jazz.....
I remember i first saw the Thunderbolt both with and without the armor and i thought it was stupid. But it's really grown on me ever since, to the point that it's become one of my personal favorite Mobile Suits ever.
They look like standard HG joints on the arms and have a similar look for the knee joints. The leg and ankle joints look decent but not great without the vinyl.

"Still waiting for part two of this amazing kit"
It just deserves it :)
Evilsizer yeah
dude..its 2018 and im still waiting for pt 2..
dreiii _24 dude had his difficulties, moving places and stuff. I understand him
Igneos Kai Was the Sword ever reviewed?
This was 2 years ago, so no, that's not an excuse. And you didn't see him explaining either, wich just makes it worst.
It's kinda funny because the people speaking against Mecha don't have the grammar or spelling to legitimize their claims.
me too
Rest in Peace Part 2
well, actually.....
hm.
i'm starting to think mecha forgot to do part 2......
Omar Abidin yeah... me too.
or gave up with the armor.
Omar Abidin hes busy doing....something idk. He only has like 20 second a week to make videos it seems.
no, you take more than "20 seconds a week" to record the videos (actually it can take more to edit than record)
he was being sarcastic lol
Everyone’s waiting on pt 2
I’m waiting for the glowing beam saber review
Why is it that most of the reviews of this kit always neglect the fact that the emergency pod has a little switch to rotate the pilot figure into a more vertical position when it's installed inside of the mobile suit?
It does? Didn't notice!
+Mecha Gaikotsu they showed it off on HLJ. It's just a tiny thing that makes the kit ten times better then it already is
To be fair, if it were articulated in the waist, once you got the backpack on it'd only lean back. (even with the action base)
I was thinking the same too:)
but they could have added side to side articulation
Then it would tilt to the side
+정우재 i don't think the rx 78 was supposed to have waist movement iirc cmiimw the first gundam to have waist movement in the canon is gundam mk ii, it stated that before the the gundam mk ii all mobile suit previously have their armor on top of their armor without much consideration about their movability, only after mk ii they decide to graft the armor based on the frame to allow more complex movement
The hg psycho zaku has waist articulation, and it has that exact ptoblem

It honestly reminds me of ibo in a way

@RAINY DAY I haven't seen gundam thunderbolt yet, but I can reccomend gundam unicorn, I really enjoyed it
The InvisibleGaijin, I KNOW RIGHT
The white with a tint of blue goes well with the space theme.
It's nice the cameras go all the way front and back.
I also prefer the finger swapping.

Overall I think the problems stem from the use of the vinyl joint covers.
3:15 There is a hidden gimmick that rotating the pilot to face out instead of facing down in core block form.
5:45 This is why I liked the MG Shining Gundam. The Core Lander is attached into the back, allowing for complete articulation.
say where's part 2
You found it yet?
ForgedHorizons nope
ForgedHorizons yes.
It's been two years and four months, I havent seen my kids since this came out due to waiting for part two. Mecha please, i'm so hungry for the jazz.....
Once I heard the vinyl sound, I thought this should be renamed the FAP-78.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think an edit must be done... WITH HENTAI MOANING SOUND EFFECTS
I think we should just have Frank's panic against Weeaboo Jones instead.
omg don't

Dark Gundam scheme is sick. This guy is up their with one of my favourite mobile suits.
4:58 "and these are nice and HANDy"
I can’t come back for part 2 if it doesn’t exist

"If you don't have one, get one"
My wallet is glaring at me

Hey any update on part 2/ the koto sword review

Rest in Peace Part 2, you will be missed
i started building this week, mt first build was "gundam the end" high grade and Master gundam master grade... i have the gundam build high
WHERES PART 2 AND THE REVIEW FOR THE BEAM SABOR
do the joints underneath the vinyl covers look good? or are the garbage bags absolutely necessary for this thing to not look like trash? (pun, haha)
They look like standard HG joints on the arms and have a similar look for the knee joints. The leg and ankle joints look decent but not great without the vinyl.
nice kit, but it will turn out more with the armor is complete, btw i am so noticed by that glow sword hahaha awesome sword
Do you have to use the vinyl...?
hey what happened to part two it's been 2 years and I'm still waiting
Is there a choice to put on the baggy looks or not put it on
How does it look without the vinyl on thee arms and legs?
The escape pod looks like a Dead Space plasma cutter.
It's been 1 year brother Mecha...where's part two?
Even the thunderbolt gms are awesome
I really hope they make a few suits from that anime! Can't wait to get the Zaku!
Psycho Zaku be like: "I NEED MOAR DAKKAAAAAAAAAAA"
Need part 2!!!!!
I IMAGED THE RX-78 GUNDAM IN DIFERENCE IN ANIME'S DESIGN,NOW I GET MY ANSWERED,THANK YOU.
still waiting for part 2
how about that part 2?
What was the name of that light up beam saber .-.
Thanks for the video. Really made be head online and buy it just now. Great video
Be careful with those vinyl joint covers.
People have all said they're quite annoying during the build process.
Where do you bye your gundam kits
It’s 2019 still no part 2
Almost a year later and still no part 2!!!!
great review! but wheres part 2? hope you havent forgot about it lol
hey Mecha Gaikotsu where's the Part 2 of these review?
No part 2 ?
Do you have to add the vinel?
a crazy pilot inside
The cockpit can actually rotate it's orientation. Also did you lose the circle thingies at the knee joint of the left leg?
I just looked at it after reading your comment. They're still on the runner! XD
Woah that's good! :I Better than lost.
2019 I’m assuming part 2 died in the thunderbolt sector
Take the first letters in Full Armor Gundam and what do you get?
So now it's been 3 years, and still no part 2 and the LED beam saber :')
I wanna get the high grade one... but so hard to find
we wait for part 2 ✌
2019 and I'm still waiting for part 2.
I just found that the FA has a drop joint in the waist, help me, we desperately want FA Gundam part 2
dude.. its 2019 and im still waiting for pt 2..
i want that led sword! so cool.
If I get this kit I'm just gonna put the gundam itself together, not even gonna put the armor together.
I’m still waiting for Part 2 to happen in 2018.
Dude it’s 2019 still waiting for part .2
where's part 2? still waiting.
Its been a year ... wheres part 2?!
Where's the part 2? :O
The lack of articulation in the chest doesn't bother me considering it's going to have a gigantic space pack on it.
That's a really god point
I have a question! Can i put an LED unit into his head?
nope
Its okay were still waiting for part 2 in 2019 then
1 yr 4 months 24days later... still waiting for part 2
Dude its April of 2019 and i m still waiting for part 2
