Mecha should do rapid reviews of older kits to see how they hold up today. It could be a bunch of small reviews in one video, highlighting the flaws with the builds or features that should come back.
He will just talk bad about those older kits. Mecha is not a good reviewer, because he lack of 'understanding/knowledge' about old kit. Kakarot197 is still better, he just didn't focus on new kit
The "Liao Ya" thing is Chinese, and it should be pronounced with a hard L sound. It translates into the science/clinical definition of "fangs", as in those two pairs of longest and sharpest teeth that we and some other animals have. Edit: lol so someone just reminded me that those pairs of teeth are actually called canines. He's 100% right, and as an English major, I am so ashamed.
there's a lot I love in this video. the perfect imperfection and not editing/omitting them showing off all those MG Wing units (went nuts) NU gundam how large it is.. now I'm sure I'll get one for myself. thank you!
13:05 If you take a closer look, the Altron's entire arm actually separates from the body as it holds up the Dragon attachment. The assembly that connects it to the shoulder pops out of nowhere and wouldn't mechanically fit as something that is hidden inside the Altron with the intention of extending out.
i just recently bought and built the heavyarms custom, it was an incredible build, sturdy as all gupla should be. i've got most of the ew gundam's and they truly are the best.
Dude thanks for every inch of info u gave in a video, ive been with this hobby for a month now. Ur info so much help me in figured what to buy and not to, im currently a fan for RG. Thank you man, subbed
I really love the Shenlong Gundam! Next to the Wing Zero it is one my favorite Gundam designs. Can't wait for you to do a GW Collection/Compilation video! That would be sweeter than a homemade apple pie with ice cream on top!!!
You can tell how much Gaikotsu loves a model kit when he takes the time to panel line it. I'm not even talking about the minimalist panel lines he does on kits that need to to look a little better. I'm talking about kits that build and look good and he says, "you know what? This looks amazing, and it deserves to be polished up".
Gundam wing is one of my nostalgic shows. It was the first "anime" I ever truly seen, (minus pokemon but I don't count that). Its still one of my favorite TV series too. I would love to see the many different gunpla models
liao ya is the the pronunciation of the hanzi 獠牙 in manderin. p.s. btw, the first time he pronounced it in the video was actually a perfect pronunciation with even the tones correct. Awesome review btw.
Great review. U.S. Bluefin has been offering preorders on some p-bandai. Got this one...we'll see how long it takes. They are the first to get them here and offered them at Japanese prices...Yay!
Quick disclaimer: Bandai released an MG wing Gundam EW with the same frame so you can still buy the newer version of the katoki redesign instead of the tv version.
Hi Mecha! That would be nice, featuring the Wing kits altogether! After all, most of us are into Gundams, Gunpla, etc. because of Gundam Wing! Cool and honest review as always!
Throwing that humongous grappling-sword is badass as it acts like an anchor when pulled back. xD Kinda reminds me of a Mandarin action movies with unusual flying sword techniques. Still love the classic Wing Blue, Red and Yellow color scheme of it. Very nice build and its weapon variants.
Shenlong gundam is based on Chinese style armour, and "Shenlong" is 神龙 (The God Dragon) in Mandarin. The origin of Liaoya is General Guan's weapon 青龙偃月刀 (Azure Dragon Boardsword) aka Guandao from a Chinese novel "The Romance of Three Kingdoms". This Chinese novel has great influence among east Asian countries. So the Guandao weapon unit should be pronounced in the Madarin way "Liaoya" XD
I own every gunpla from gundam wing and I LOVE THEM ALL. My favorite is the Tall Geese and Epyon but I’m such a huge fan of that series and Xech was badass!
I just noticed that you have a lot of old gunpla that you already built and not yet reviewed. I think it would be nice to have a review for your old built gunpla especially when you're in a hurry so that the new unbuilt gunpla have more deeper and detailed review while the old ones are still reviewed. More content and more gunplas that are reviewed the better.
OK, after seeing the wire on this kit, I'm thinking about ordering some custom PC cable sleeves from Mod-One as well as some brass wire to convert some of the kits I have. Even though I've sleeved the cables in my computer tower, it hadn't occurred to me to do the same to my kits.
I would absolutely love to see a review on the new released super nova deathscythe hell. It is a beautiful kit that was extremely fun to build. And if you like one beam scythe, it comes with two and one is in a brutal shape with clear red
I wish we’d get MG’s of the TV version of these kits. Unpopular opinion but I’ve always preferred the TV version of Altron compared to the EW version. Both are fantastic design though.
Wing was my favorite gundam series. If I recall correctly from my childhood, the 神龙Shenlong gundam was piloted by 张武飞，and this kit comes with the 獠牙 Liaoya system. The translation on the box is correct according to the tv series.
I know you already have the mg heavyarms but I recommend getting the p bandai version since it looks so good next to its movie counter part and you gotta love those guns!
The EW Deathscythe is my first and only MG right now, and I really would love the Shenlong, Altron, Tallgeese and other Gundam wing suits! I’m not sure if the sword accessory is really worth the p-Bandai price bump, but thanks for an awesome review- your storytelling about first moving and building the heavyarms got me nostalgic. :)
That's always makes me laugh when someone talks about how good a product is and then it falls apart 😂 but it is vary awesome plus seeing a review of older kits and also seeing the rest of the EW WING KIT WOULD BE AWESOME TO 🤩🤩🤩
All of the EW kits seem fairly solid. My D-scythe Hell is the only one I've had an issue with, the ankles eventually giving out with the weight of the cloak/wings. Other than that, it's all minor gripes. Heavyarms needing an additional upper left arm/elbow so you could pick between having the normal arm or the beam saber arm from the Tallgeese fight episode, or the P-Bandai Sandrock not coming with the clear red blade effect parts the standard release did.
Love Shenlong my 3rd fave Gundam Wing mobile Suit of that sires purely cause of that Dragon arm weapon there’s nothing more satisfying than shooting out that monster chomping down your opponents then roasting them alive 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎. I love this version’s sword but I don’t like how it sacrifices its bad ass articulation with the Dragon arm seriously that was such an awesome feature that should never be forgotten & the evolution of Shenlong or as Chan calls him otoku that one has 2 dragon arms that twice as deadly twice as awesome. That doesn’t mean I hate this kit tho don’t get me wrong it’s I wish the arm could extend out like from the anime which was the only Gundam anime I’ve watched I don’t dislike others at all it’s I live in the uk 🇬🇧 & it showing on Toonami back when CartoonNetwork was awesome those days I missed 😢. Anyways love your reviews dude I’m very impressed on how much you put in these videos & the info you share actually helps me out a lot cause I love Giant fighting robots a lot beautifully designed armor & crazy amazingly weaponry what’s not to like 👍. Kind Regards AuraKnight P.S My 1st fave from Gundam Wing has to be Wing Gundam & Wing Zero respectfully cause it’s sort like an evolution so I count both as the same line & My 2nd fave Heavyarms let’s face a Giant beam Gatling machine gun & a Shit tone of Missile launchers what’s not to like 👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁.
Awesome review as always 👏 My only complaint about the Shenlong EW design is the dragon fang. If I can track down the old HG 1/100 I'd take the extending arm & put it on this guy.
Gundams within the Wing universe is made of gundanium alloy. I grew up collecting the HG Wing range which were awesome, but after seeing some of your reviews, it shows how bad some certain design aspects of older gunplas. The HG Shen Long, Altron and Nataku Custom all had extending dragon fangs but just didn't hold up when fully deployed.
I got the sandrock a little while back, and i find those arms can pop off pretty easy when you're moving the shoulders in and out, because the shoulder is too tight compared to the bicep, which is pretty much just right.
I recall how much I hated building some of those. Small mgs, limited articulation and balance, the deathscythe even had a flawed knee articulation and worse of all, decals to be put in round surfaces due to the katoki design cues.
Liao is a type of Chinese kung fu sabre. I'm a martial artist of the kung fu variety and have seen these types of swords, even though they are not as uh, EXAGGERATED as this Gundam type.
The original shenlong was my second ever mg and put me off of mgs for months until I took another chance with the exia. Both of the shoulder joints connecting to the torso broke apart at a peghole. It's still sitting in its box unfinished.
Hi @Mecha Gaikotsu ^^ ! the name of the metal of the gundam in "gundam wing" is :"Gundanium", and it's created by space colony only ^^ (i love so much the gudam wing series (*^_^*) ! )... thanks for all the reviews ^^! i don't have seeing the "gundam epion" in yours video's reviews (but it's not really awesome T_T) ... good luck for the future with your channel and have a nice day ;)! bye
"Don't get the Wing EW"...I got two, and I fixed the hands problem just by switching the hands with those of the Deathscythe, and by the way the old "articulated" hands are perfect for holding smaller weapons (like the Kotobukiya ones)
"So clean, so perfect, so good"
Sounds like an ad for a tissue roll.
Or a parody of a lucky strike ad
Hotel Sogo ad...lol
Or a sogo hotel.
Lol sogo 😂

Mecha should do rapid reviews of older kits to see how they hold up today. It could be a bunch of small reviews in one video, highlighting the flaws with the builds or features that should come back.
Aquamose that sounds like a terrible idea considering a number of his reviews of older kits, he's way too harsh most of the time.....
So a whole video of Mecha bashing several perfectly good kits of their time because of how old they are?
No fucking thank you.
He will just talk bad about those older kits. Mecha is not a good reviewer, because he lack of 'understanding/knowledge' about old kit. Kakarot197 is still better, he just didn't focus on new kit

13:50 I love how ever since he saw the word “vigorous” with the RG Crossbone gundam he just took it and ran with it 😂
Actually it started with sazabi I'm pretty sure (rg)
there's a lot I love in this video.
the perfect imperfection and not editing/omitting them
showing off all those MG Wing units (went nuts)
NU gundam how large it is.. now I'm sure I'll get one for myself.
thank you!
Dang it mecha!
Give us a VIGOROUS scale already that we can see!

God, I would love soooooo much for Gundam Wing to be completely reanimated using Katoki's designs.
Stoic Newtype I personally liked the EW designs abit kore than the ogs. But that ain’t gonna roll with the people that grew up with wing.
As a big fan of the original anime, I disagree. Bandai should make more MG units based on the original tv series.
@@jericperey3285 Why not both? New anime with the EW designs. New MGs with the og designs.
Yes to the Gundam Wing series, man!
Planning to collect this series too!
Good job on the videos 👌🏼👌🏼
It's Gundanium.
Gundarium is what used to be called Luna Titanium.
Yup we know at its much lighter and much durable that titaniun
Those long, powerful legs look dynamic, agile and graceful.
I really love the Shenlong Gundam! Next to the Wing Zero it is one my favorite Gundam designs. Can't wait for you to do a GW Collection/Compilation video! That would be sweeter than a homemade apple pie with ice cream on top!!!
Wing is my favorite series so this review is awesome to watch
It definitely looks more "complete" with the sword. I've always felt like the EW version was missing something.
I would love to see the Gundam Wing kit video series
Love the Vigorous Affect parts ratings. 10/10 would Vigorous again.
They always look so beautiful. I love the wing mg’s
Looks awesome indeed :)
If you're completing the Wing Kits, I will recommend the Epyon. Good weapons, solid kit, and amazing redesign of a popular suit
You can tell how much Gaikotsu loves a model kit when he takes the time to panel line it. I'm not even talking about the minimalist panel lines he does on kits that need to to look a little better. I'm talking about kits that build and look good and he says, "you know what? This looks amazing, and it deserves to be polished up".
Shenlong was my very first MG ever, and while I had a blast building it, I was left disappointed at how the dragon arm didn't extend.
Gundam wing is one of my nostalgic shows. It was the first "anime" I ever truly seen, (minus pokemon but I don't count that). Its still one of my favorite TV series too. I would love to see the many different gunpla models

Got the standard release of it. Totally agree that it is a beauty of a kit.
Yes yes yes!!! Collection/Squad Suits Vids are a must! Do one for the GAT boys as well
I can’t say I love the Wing EW kits because I never really grew up with wing but recently I got the Master Grade Sandrock and that kit was amazing
I wish we’d get MG’s of the TV version of these kits. Unpopular opinion but I’ve always preferred the TV version of Altron compared to the EW version. Both are fantastic design though.
Yes!!! Yes!! I wanna more review about Wing version.. absolutely yes

Simple clean and effective can’t go wrong with that

The heavyarms was my fist master grade, I love everything about it except for the gatling gun
Is that a good kit for a beginner MG builder??
@@dustman-0k I'd say so, it's solid and a fun build, but the gatling gun is kind of finicky. I'd say start with a high grade
I also love the heavyarms, though my gripe is the chest cover which is hard to open and close and the gatling gun.
My wing Gundam has dive bombed my floor more times then I can count and still in one solid piece
This guy looks pretty rockin. I might need to see if i can pick one up.

THIS VARIANT SHENLONG GUNDAM NEED THE ANIME TO PRESENT IT SELF,THANK YOU.
I loved watching this review with my morning coffee. You/mecha, krowsama and jobby are my fave plamo reviewers. Keep up the awesome work!
Gundams within the Wing universe is made of gundanium alloy.
I grew up collecting the HG Wing range which were awesome, but after seeing some of your reviews, it shows how bad some certain design aspects of older gunplas. The HG Shen Long, Altron and Nataku Custom all had extending dragon fangs but just didn't hold up when fully deployed.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who measures build and solidness with "I could throw this at the wall and it would all stay together."
I got the sandrock a little while back, and i find those arms can pop off pretty easy when you're moving the shoulders in and out, because the shoulder is too tight compared to the bicep, which is pretty much just right.
That big AF gundanium sword is actually a form of the Chinese execution blade
The sword looks like a weapon a mobile suit from IBO would use.
Heyyyy wings series for the WIN-gs!!! Eyyyy hahahaha *sorry I'll guide myself out hahaha
I love it. I've always loved this kit. Wing.. #InMyFeelings
I’d love a video series of the EW kits
Yes, please do the gundam wing collection video
I recall how much I hated building some of those. Small mgs, limited articulation and balance, the deathscythe even had a flawed knee articulation and worse of all, decals to be put in round surfaces due to the katoki design cues.
Liao is a type of Chinese kung fu sabre. I'm a martial artist of the kung fu variety and have seen these types of swords, even though they are not as uh, EXAGGERATED as this Gundam type.
It's sorta funny that Buyee sponsored a review of this kit considering Bluefin was selling this kit in the US a few weeks back.
Now, let's review the WHOLE ENTIRETY OF THE WING SERIES!!! NOW!!!🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
Could you do a tutorial for how to apply differ types of decals, specifically how you apply the dry transfers over curved parts
The original shenlong was my second ever mg and put me off of mgs for months until I took another chance with the exia. Both of the shoulder joints connecting to the torso broke apart at a peghole. It's still sitting in its box unfinished.
Should have pointed out the preorders for the Bluefin website.
It's sold out on the Bluefin site and has been for awhile.
I have the ew heavy arms and I also got the mg Gundam wing with the feather effect I'm going to be painting it
19:43 what a perfect comedic timing hahah
This gundam looks amazing great video :)
Liao Ya = Chinese
Tiao Ya = Nipon
No letter "L" sound on Japanese
The by pilot thing sounds dope for any series.
Hi @Mecha Gaikotsu ^^ ! the name of the metal of the gundam in "gundam wing" is :"Gundanium", and it's created by space colony only ^^ (i love so much the gudam wing series (*^_^*) ! )... thanks for all the reviews ^^! i don't have seeing the "gundam epion" in yours video's reviews (but it's not really awesome T_T) ... good luck for the future with your channel and have a nice day ;)! bye
Actually the Tallgeese frame was built with Gundanium.
I really want to see a review of the MG Sandrock Gundam EW version. It is my personal favorite out of the other Gundams in Gundam Wing.
I love me some gundam wing stuff. Hope to see more soon
*MechaGaikotsu:* are you planning on getting the NU GUNDAM METAL STRUCTURE?
"Don't get the Wing EW"...I got two, and I fixed the hands problem just by switching the hands with those of the Deathscythe, and by the way the old "articulated" hands are perfect for holding smaller weapons (like the Kotobukiya ones)
"you would want to make sure you don't lose the ears"
Which sadly his Altron/Nataku already did with the left one. 😢
Those dry transfers were trash or maybe I got a bad sheet of them when I bought the original release since none of them applied right
Can’t wait for Duo’s video
I'm going to buy the p bandai upgrade wepons set so i can put the dragon wing and tail beam cannon on it. 😊
So much justice in this gundam
Okay boys time to blow up our mobile suits
In case you don't know, Liaoya is Chinese and it means Fang
