Well given the scale and if we're talking about painting in details, then to a certain extent, that does ring true. It really boils down to the complexity of the kit's detailing and part separation (older MGs are about equal with current HGs IMO).
@@BLAZE084 for sure, for sure. Earlier this week I began working on an HG Barbatos. Had to do quite a bit of masking for certain parts. Not really a fan of it since I could never get the tape to completely cover perfectly edge to edge
@@thebigskip-e Yeah… masking takes time and patience. But I’ve noticed the best model builders don’t always get masking right so don’t beat yourself up about it.
i think they made the stickers with thicker plastics is to make it so that they are easier to align and apply on a large flat surface? otherwise with your regular foil stickers, they will easily warp and be a pain in the ass to stick onto the shield
the thick plastic-like sticker used on the shield reminds me of the ones used on the MG Age-1's knee armor, also some people compare them to the stickers used on Lego parts.
Looking like the best pale rider paint canvas lol. I don't care about the stickers since I'm painting both of mine. I love that it comes with lots of extra parts. Ordered two so I could try my hand at a custom Dullahan
For me grabbing out the airbrush to repaint the entire shield would be almost the same effort as clear coating it to make the finish match but I suppose those plastic stickers would be good if you only had clear coat in a spray can or better just wanted to use them to mask the parts.
The hard stickers for the shield reesemble the stickers on the Nu Gundam ver Ka and the MG Age-1 Normal, but this time they look out of place compared to the kit
I like this. I also mainly build RG kits as a choice, because of limited shelf space and funds, so massive sheets with tiny stickers is kind of my norm, so... only issue for me? Pale Rider kits are almost or are all P-Bandai. Shame. I really like the designs, as a fan of a lot of UC designs. My holy grail RG as it sits? RG Unicorn Perfectability/Plan Blue.
if i REALLY had to guess, stickers on top of stickers probably havent been workin' out too well, so the color correcting shield stickers were, in a massive bandai big brain move, made out of heavy glossy plastic-y stickers, so the SR and 02 stickers could stick over them better, n account of the SR logo being pretty important for p-bandai SR units
wish they did the same with the G04 and G05 with the shields, and they should've made them matte instead of glossy like that... at least zaku here applies the other stickers very well so they didnt look too bad
I think they use plastic-like stickers on the shields because the original stickers are very easy to crack. Both my shield stickers cracked when combined
God dammit I didn't expect the huge amount of stickers this kit has, but luckily I modify it into Pale Rider Dullahan, and DII. Tbh I give this kit 8/10 rating, there are some parts like the front skirt, and the shield parts that should've been molded according to the corresponding color.
@@Kr0zBoNE if you impatient you can borrow GM Guard shield, and 3d print the G Line assault heat lance. Also since Cavalry get regular pale rider parts you just need to do minor modification to make Dullahan.
@@zakhaevshub4735 the junk parts make sense now - they just have to reuse those runners. Was there no regular G-Line release? Have fun with your conversion project!
The HG Thunderbolt Gundam Ground Type S has a much more impressive beam javelin effect part IMO. Literally the main reason I even got that kit was because of how cool it looked in the anime
I just think that pale rider line should not be a p-bandai for it’s amount of sticker alone. But i digrest. We can just remove the striker pack and sell it at a markup price. Why not low quality kits to make banks
For a premium kit they're actually lacking the "premium" aspect on the manual guide, like was it so hard for them to give it a nice cover for the manual like the previous p-bandai kit years ago?
@@alastairroche9922 then they shouldn't use the word 'premium' on it, use the 'limited' one instead, those words contains far different meaning to one another, especially in a product distribution sale
Hey ZakuAurelius is Gunpla production really hit the all time low? I'm worrying that future models will not be released. Do you have any kind of "reliable" news related to that?
Except for models that are shown at expos/hobby shows that don't get released(even then that doesn't stop it from resurfacing years later), if Bandai announces it in planning stage then it should be released.
This is a perfect example of why “premium” bandai is a nothing more than a big joke. Nothing about this is “premium” and just shows how little they care about some of these model kits.
“Premium” Bandai does not mean premium quality as we understand it in English, it’s a confusing use of the English word. It really just means exclusive
@@ZakuAurelius I just don't get it, why did they make their "premium" items with less attention to details like better color separation, stickers thing, etc. If only they didn't forget those little details probably their product will get a lot of consumer and increasing their income.

DAMNIT make all of these Pale Rider kits in 1/100 already Bandai!
Still waiting for (VG) Geara Doga 😭
imagine the price on it tho
Totally agree, give us an MG !
MG, MG, MG.........
@@M0A0R0k00W0Y0L0D0E it's easy... buy a HGUC Geara Doga Rezin Schnyder and paint it with VG color scheme (use spray paint, airbrush, etc)

Ah the return of the minor kit mod at the end of the review! Very nice!
So many stickers that the sheet itself could probably be considered a runner on its own.
As usual for the sake of time saving they lazily give us huge sticker...
At least the stickers are only for if you want the HADES on or not so if you think about it, the sticker sheet isn't that huge.
Cheers love, the HGUC Pale Rider Cavalry is here!
If this was a to be whole project, I wish there was better development/color separation so there isn't the same issues with every entry
I agree. I would pay more for color parts for the two modes. This is just a symptom of Bandai reusing molds from the first Pale Rider kit.
the thick plastic-like sticker used on the shield reminds me of the ones used on the MG Age-1's knee armor, also some people compare them to the stickers used on Lego parts.
I heard someone else say that the plastic stickers for the shield might be that way in order to help put stickers on top of it.

love the addition of the tutorial at the end!
The official images just totally fool us on parts separation. But I don't regret pre-order as it has cool weapons and design.
It's pretty much a meme now that every subsequent Pale Rider is more awesome but brings more suffering to the table.
Lol yep

Wasn't there a Gundam base limited blue RG unicorn at one point? I wanna say like 2 years ago?
@@kriesas that's the one!
At least the Pale Rider kits are like the most accessible P-Bandai kits as they always shelf warm.

help i am forced to make stickers to put stickers on how do i make this better!??
"make a new shield mold"
no not that
Those are lot of stickers D:
Pale Rider is from a manga, right?
wish they did the same with the G04 and G05 with the shields, and they should've made them matte instead of glossy like that... at least zaku here applies the other stickers very well so they didnt look too bad
Let's hope for an MG... or at least an RE100 some day.
Don't forget 1/100 high mechanics is back but it's a different high mechanics from the IBO ones
Love your in action javelin. Nice and quick and great synergy for the store... give me the extra lazy and include the links to the items used!
You should do a custom work in progress videos for this kit. Painted and customized with the extra parts. Do it!!!!!!!!
there is a titans version of this coming out
That Gatling arm is very reminiscent of the FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam
Exactly
I think they use plastic-like stickers on the shields because the original stickers are very easy to crack. Both my shield stickers cracked when combined
The color reminds me of Arbaelst.
I prefer the old parts for the lower legs but aside from that, the kit's pretty neat.
i just got pale rider in titans colors. it is really cool
Nice stickers, thanks for the video 😎👍🏼
The cavalry is a beast in gbo2!
Can't wait what bandai will MG ver. Looks like
THE 350 COST TERROR IN GBO2
Can we put the cannon of the guncannon first type in the place of the beam sabers of the backpack?
And I'm still waiting for my delivery
and all the xtra parts have extra stickers to boot!
Is it possible to matte the plastic stickers sir?
To give it less of a glossy sheen.
Never seem a kit where you put stickers on stickers to add details missing from the stickers that add details missing from the part.
yo have you ever tried using feather safety razors for nub removal?
New pale rider kits, more pale rider stickers
I love the Pale Rider designs, but I can't pay the P- Bandai mark up for a HG kit.
Just wait for the MG release 😭
God dammit I didn't expect the huge amount of stickers this kit has, but luckily I modify it into Pale Rider Dullahan, and DII. Tbh I give this kit 8/10 rating, there are some parts like the front skirt, and the shield parts that should've been molded according to the corresponding color.

That beam looks like a lollipop

You got the Pale Rider?? I still haven't got mine yet
it's no Todesritter, but it's nice. Which do you like better?
Probably the Tode for it’s more unique design
I just think that pale rider line should not be a p-bandai for it’s amount of sticker alone. But i digrest. We can just remove the striker pack and sell it at a markup price. Why not low quality kits to make banks
Ouch, PBandai always knows where to hit me
How did u apply these so perfectly
jeez man, those are entry grade quality feet
So I guess bandai felt guilty about the parts separation on the shield so they decided to give us a "premium" stickers for the shield....
Does premium bandai really relies on stickers?
Why are the ancles long? I never thought I would have ever said that.
long ancles
Squarely falls into the "kits that should be RG" category.
I tried buying one on the last release, gone within 2 days......
👋
I like it.
People: Ew, it has so much sticker
Me: First time ? Meh, I used to it
For a premium kit they're actually lacking the "premium" aspect on the manual guide, like was it so hard for them to give it a nice cover for the manual like the previous p-bandai kit years ago?
Premium Bandai isn’t meant to have super premium products. It is supposed to be more of a limited Bandai product
@@alastairroche9922 then they shouldn't use the word 'premium' on it, use the 'limited' one instead, those words contains far different meaning to one another, especially in a product distribution sale
the only pale rider which looks better in normal mode imo, the gold looks weird with the color combination
I like the little bits of orange personally!
Hey ZakuAurelius is Gunpla production really hit the all time low? I'm worrying that future models will not be released.
Do you have any kind of "reliable" news related to that?
No I’d say Bandai is producing more now than every before

You're wrong because the Todestritter is the dopest Pale Rider
I wasn’t including that one because it doesn’t have “pale rider” in the name, but yes you’re right
I’m so bad at the stickers I feel like I ruined my kit -_-
Yikes.... so many stickers
I don't care about it having bazillion stickers
Just make P-Bandai available for europe, Bandai, for f* sake ToT
Sadly you probably have a better chance for getting P-Bandai in Europe is to create or convince a company in Europe to be a distributor for Bandai.
