according to Xavier Lim 2008 was when they switched from hand carved wooden negatives to laser cut metal negatives. so if you've ever built any HG 00 kits you can see a huge difference in quality between the early HG 00 kits and the later HG 00 kits.
It's kinda funny that when you mentioned about the proportion, this design is actually kinda redesigned by Katoki Hajime for the game so...technically it's a ver Ka I guess? And if I remember correctly, that hip joint system and swinging shoulder polycaps are first introduced in HG 00 gundam, the polycaps runners are the same as well. Later they carried out the same concept to the future HGUC kits. So the revive kit that we get recently are pretty much the same as some of the older kits.
That sounds about right. PC-001 was introduced with 00 Gundam in the HG-00 season 2 line IIRC, and still sees use today within The Origin and Thunderbolt lines. These days, HG kits outside of those lines use PC-002 and PC-002A I think... Starting with HG-BF and HG G-Reco and going on thru the HG-IBO line.
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last days =)
I just bought the kit online and waiting for the delivery, then it ocurre to me to google it and came to your channel and love it. Thank you so much, i will very much like to see your figure once you painted it. Again thank you so much. Seems what it's coming my way it's rather good.
Honestly, anything from 2009 onward is a pretty solid kit, I'd say. I haven't got a problem with the PC-123 Plus kits either, but PC-001 is where the posability and stability really improved tremendously!
Alexdadoof not even completely related but whatever rather even doubt you know what the heavy full armor Gundam 7th is if you grouped it with my comments as they aren't the same
bought one out of curiosity and went above expectations! I also accidentally placed a zaku head from shin matsunaga's custom Zaku II - 1A - R while building the gundam's head, was not disappointed either! you should try it
1. Already know the zaku zeta and 2. Well the more you look at the white zaku head on the FA 7th's body, the more it grows on me personally. 3. Don't have a zeta yet
nice review, i believe there's many kit burried down by the hype of new/recent kit, which are though it's old but can be a great kit. This kind of review for the old kit really useful to discover many great old kit behind... thumbs up! if this kit restock in local hobby shop, i definetely will buy it!
My sister's gonna give me this kit for Christmas. Everyone knows that a GunPla builder/collector is gonna have a kit of the Grand Daddy Gundam in some form or another, be it in SD, HG, RG, MG, PG, or Mega Size format. Out of all the "Full Armor" variations of the Grand Daddy, this is what I like the most.
interesting comment, since that version of the Full Armor 7th is already a Katoki redesign, so it's technically a Ver.Ka . I actually have no problem with the proportions, my only problem are the beam sabers. They won't stick inside the holding hands so they keep falling off. That said, this particular HG is easily in my Top 10
I've seen images of this kit floating around, but never really paid it much mind despite being a fan of most grand daddy Gundam designs. Might have to pick it up now. I realize you have a lot on your plate when it comes to this channel, but I'd love to see a video on how to modify proportions. Thanks for the review!
Great review, I have been eyeing this kit for a while at my local hobby shop. I love the design, but the amount of work to make this kit shine is discouraging. As my gunpla skills develop I will probably still pick this up when I have the motivation.
My primary guff with this model is that this is all we got from the 0081 game. No G-line variants or an Efreet Nacht, and as redundant as it might seem I would have liked to have seen the base Gundam Unit 7 without the armor upgrades.
Devasia Mentality building the kit it seems like they intended to do a RX-78-7 theres parts which could be replaced with normal 7th gujdam parts also imagine of they had did the heavy full armor gundam 7th also we are finally getting a retail efreet schneid so oh well
One thing I like about the kit is the hands, using the one piece hand and cover type. I never really liked the usual HGUC hands where its fingers, palm then cover. I find them really finnicky and fragile and end up usually only being compatible with the one weapon they came with. I currently have my FA 7th holding the Zeta rifle. Fits well :D
This was satisfying. Im certainly going to pick one up. The draw back for me is the lack of beam saber effect parts, and im not quite sure how wide the hole will be on the beam saber handles. (if anyone would like to give me a size example please do) Great review!
I wish more model kits would incorporate the same shoulder armor mechanic designs like her and on the 00 Gundam's. I really can't stand how most of them can move separately from both the arm and chest then having to reposition or adjust them all over again. I would have especially loved for the Schwaritter to have these types of shoulder mechanic design.
Late response here, but is the backpack of the 7th armor gundam compatible with any other kits? I am thinking it might go well with my Origin's GM interceptor due to a lack of a fellow booster.
I would like to agree that the kit is very amazing but my full armor's beam saber handles are very loose. Would recommend either not equipping them or just glue them. Other than that this video pointed out the great features it has and looking forward to more great reviews!
@@gakeeeen what I meant is that hg’s started to get pretty good after 2009. What I tried to say about taking them seriously was everybody says “for an hg” that honestly ticks me off a little.
The only real downside I'm seeing to this kit are the hollow spaces on the back fuel/mobility parts. Kinda disappointing that they're even there on an HG, but it's not the worst thing in the world to putty. Otherwise, a great, bulky looking kit.
also in my country the most selling brand of gunpla is not from bandai its all daban the chinese writen and dragon momoko cheap they say and i cant believe them cause they make them like its was a bandai kit and they said its hard X3 love your vids sorry for the long message haha
Zack you realize this is based on a ver Ka redesign for a videogame lol in your unboxing you meantioned how you wanted to paint in MSV colors when the original design of FA Gundam 7th is an MSV design XD
according to Xavier Lim 2008 was when they switched from hand carved wooden negatives to laser cut metal negatives. so if you've ever built any HG 00 kits you can see a huge difference in quality between the early HG 00 kits and the later HG 00 kits.
Wait what? Gundam kits used to be made with wooden negatives? The hell? This seems like a lie

One of my top 10 HGUC kits in existence. Did this one about 6 years ago and it will never leave the shelf.
Oh shit :0 , so your other kits just casually take a walk outside once in a while?
There's so many different Full armor/beefed up versions of the RX 78 and I love them all
Jorge Luis Juarez you forgot heavy full armor Gundam 7th it takes beefy to a whole new level
Alexdadoof not even completely related but whatever rather even doubt you know what the heavy full armor Gundam 7th is if you grouped it with my comments as they aren't the same
The shield is one of my favorites. So much good detail on the inside!
bought one out of curiosity and went above expectations! I also accidentally placed a zaku head from shin matsunaga's custom Zaku II - 1A - R while building the gundam's head, was not disappointed either! you should try it
John Riego de Dios why on this but not the zeta gundam.....
1. Already know the zaku zeta and 2. Well the more you look at the white zaku head on the FA 7th's body, the more it grows on me personally. 3. Don't have a zeta yet
I just built this kit. I love it. Super chill construction. I built it at work. I'm about to panel line it.
Definitely going to pick this up. I love mobile suits with shoulder mounted weapons.
you'll be glad you did!

This kind of review for the old kit really useful to discover many great old kit behind... thumbs up! if this kit restock in local hobby shop, i definetely will buy it!
Just finally built this. With some minor touch-ups, it looks great!
thinking of getting this and reainting the blue to a metallic blue just cant figure out what color i should change the white .
Watching this, I just realized that the IBO Barbatos' chest is a call back to this.

you'll love it! this is a great kit!
It's a really cool kit and It will be the next kit i will build after the HGUC ZZ

This is one of my favorite kit. I actually customized its colors and put more weapons. He looks good with a lot of it.
Jewel Jade Flores so what you paint it up in?
I painted it with grey using a spray paint.
I've seen images of this kit floating around, but never really paid it much mind despite being a fan of most grand daddy Gundam designs. Might have to pick it up now. I realize you have a lot on your plate when it comes to this channel, but I'd love to see a video on how to modify proportions. Thanks for the review!
Always Crashing Funny thing is how he said about how he would make it have katoki proportions when this is a katokai redesign XD
Great review, I have been eyeing this kit for a while at my local hobby shop. I love the design, but the amount of work to make this kit shine is discouraging. As my gunpla skills develop I will probably still pick this up when I have the motivation.
The full armor 7th was released around the same time as the reborns gundam, 2009,9th month I think
I'd want to fill in those gaps on the back with putty (on the fuel tank), but the design is pretty complex to replicate after
My primary guff with this model is that this is all we got from the 0081 game. No G-line variants or an Efreet Nacht, and as redundant as it might seem I would have liked to have seen the base Gundam Unit 7 without the armor upgrades.
i agree 100%
Devasia Mentality building the kit it seems like they intended to do a RX-78-7 theres parts which could be replaced with normal 7th gujdam parts also imagine of they had did the heavy full armor gundam 7th also we are finally getting a retail efreet schneid so oh well
Alexdadoof and again
Eh, I think a P-Bandai Erik Blanke Geloog sounds a bit more feasible than that.
Devasia Mentality well they released it now this year but as P-bandai tho
seriously what is those clear action bases i need them
is that chest vulcan gun similar of blue destiny
One thing I like about the kit is the hands, using the one piece hand and cover type. I never really liked the usual HGUC hands where its fingers, palm then cover. I find them really finnicky and fragile and end up usually only being compatible with the one weapon they came with. I currently have my FA 7th holding the Zeta rifle. Fits well :D
Yeah, The other HGUC hands are really bad, and makes my HGUC Unicorn Destroy Mode seem worse.
All my shooting hands for my Zeta II Broke :'D he can only saber now lol
Sono just get some MS builder parts or Build fighters Jigen fists
Phant0m Mike Yeah, I had the Trigger hand of my HG Destroy Full Armor Unicorn break from me trying to pull it apart.
cant wait to see this kit with custom paint!
This was satisfying. Im certainly going to pick one up. The draw back for me is the lack of beam saber effect parts, and im not quite sure how wide the hole will be on the beam saber handles. (if anyone would like to give me a size example please do) Great review!
I'm late to this but the saber hilt is compatable with all standard beam effects
I wish more model kits would incorporate the same shoulder armor mechanic designs like her and on the 00 Gundam's. I really can't stand how most of them can move separately from both the arm and chest then having to reposition or adjust them all over again. I would have especially loved for the Schwaritter to have these types of shoulder mechanic design.
Very beautiful......
Not to sound like Suiton, but I want this to have an MG.
the chest vents reminds me of gundam bael.
Genma Shiranui this predates the bael by a long time though heck this is actually the redesign this was originally a MSV
Late response here, but is the backpack of the 7th armor gundam compatible with any other kits? I am thinking it might go well with my Origin's GM interceptor due to a lack of a fellow booster.
I bet they only put 2 stickers for the knee so it "looked" more defined. Adds another definition line I think.
The colors look a lot better than I thought in the actual kit.
Maybe it's because it has little red.
hello dude just when you show the unboxing i came out to the nearest mall and i laugh cause i saw one of this model and that was the only one left X3
The normal RX-78-7 shares the same body design as the Alex. Hmm I might customize it to match
the colors are really horrendous, but the details and the rest of how the kit is designed is so amazing, will definitely pick this one up!
This is perfect for re100
Bruh
I would like to agree that the kit is very amazing but my full armor's beam saber handles are very loose. Would recommend either not equipping them or just glue them. Other than that this video pointed out the great features it has and looking forward to more great reviews!
Cyan I also mentioned the same hint about the beam saber handles
I broked my hg zaku I's front skirt trying to make it two parts :/
I will only get this kit if bandai release its support unit.
didn't liked much because i thought it had no rear extended armor , but when i saw it i got interested
Zak, bandai will make a HGUC Efreet schneid and do you like the look of the blue destiny unit 1 and the HGUC barzam
It sounds like you just said was Bandai started to take hg’s seriously in 2009?
@@gakeeeen what I meant is that hg’s started to get pretty good after 2009. What I tried to say about taking them seriously was everybody says “for an hg” that honestly ticks me off a little.
is it weird I dont mind the color scheme
steve pina no, not really I really like the colors also
Tbh if I were to get this I'd probably paint it up like the
FA-78-1.
how old is this kit again?
BadBatchTGD made in 2009
BadBatchTGD 2009
Underated mobile suit
Love it..looking to it to hv it
Ordered this kit a few weeks ago, thanks for reaffirming my purchase. XD
Zaku were you eating flamin hot cheetos before this lol your pointer finger looks mashed!
Great review as always, definitely considering this guy
Probably just paint lol
The only real downside I'm seeing to this kit are the hollow spaces on the back fuel/mobility parts. Kinda disappointing that they're even there on an HG, but it's not the worst thing in the world to putty. Otherwise, a great, bulky looking kit.
This HG kit would look good in multiple shades of grey, just for a more militaristic look
ASW-G-11 GUNDAM GUSION REBAKE look this thing up, its originally a MSV design
Alexdadoof geez man it's such A BIG deal (sarcastic) that I like to comment a lot....
I bought this today....I'm 14 years too late. But who cares! I like this kit a lot.
It’s a great kit!
inpl philippine peso its retail price is less than 1000 peso
I'm a bit concerned, is that blood or red paint that's making your fingers look red?
Lol paint
also in my country the most selling brand of gunpla is not from bandai its all daban the chinese writen and dragon momoko cheap they say and i cant believe them cause they make them like its was a bandai kit and they said its hard X3 love your vids sorry for the long message haha
Have it. Love it. Ditched the stickers and painted the crap out of it
this does look better than the HG Hi-v Gundam
ah the predecessor of thunderbolt ver :D too bad its kinda hard to find this kit in my country nice review as always
itsrifahanif Predecessor? This is FA-78-3 XD
>predecessor
>this was made in 0081
Its colors remind me of the V2 Gundam.
for sure!
Full articulation 😍😍 i regret that i didn't bought this wonderful kit😢😢
RX78 Steroid upgrade. Nice. 🧐
Now I'm imagining who would win if this full armor was to spar with the full armor thunderbolt. My money's on the thunderbolt full armor 💪
Mahogany Black You realize this is based on the RX-78-7 it's a far better suit than the full armor Gundam...
Mahogany Black Thunderbolt definitely has the tenacity!
Zack you realize this is based on a ver Ka redesign for a videogame lol in your unboxing you meantioned how you wanted to paint in MSV colors when the original design of FA Gundam 7th is an MSV design XD
Alexdadoof omg you commented excessively on my comments which was just a. Waste of my and your time
I like his look, give him the thunderbolt colors.
Ghost L Why not the original MSV colors? Thunderbolt FA Gundam colors doesn't look as good in the design cause it looks less well bulky and menacing
So Coooooooool! 👐
But... But... Local Type had better articulation and i think it was older than this one...
U got sore throat bro?
Karaoke too much?
Nice kit btw
Lol yes, not karaoke but just sick. محمد نازيف ناجمودين
ZakuAurelius get well soon!
Are you okay? Your voice sounds kinda different.
Avenger_00209 sick :/
Hmm painting you say? How do we you didn't jus finish a murder huh???????
i could have sworn this thing looks much sleeker in the game.
Vust Valeo this is based on the design funny thing is the original MSV design is a beef cake
Anyone here after watching the mook review?
first. thats what they always say
Shit its a mobile gundam armour
no comparison to the full armor gundam thunderbolt
sky4eyes did you forget what that kit looks like or?
they both full armor gundam so may be they can stand to each other and have some comparison
ye i forgot the question mark
notif squad?
nyuuuum

Oof not loving the colors
