Good lord, This thing is more similar to the a Wodom then I thought with it's enormous height, That height is like reaching small 1/100 sized kits and You Prasing the foot articulation kinda reminds me how great the old HG Zaku's feet joints are, They are absolutely nuts and can baiscally go anywhere, Shame the rest of the kit didn't follow that amazing articulation but then again it is an early HGUC kit afterall
I know exactly what you mean for the Zaku II, the foot can flip all the way to the front of the leg like it's broken You have no idea how hard I resisted the urge to run out and buy a Wodom Pod just to put the torso(?) onto the legs here...
@@taddad2641 well , you are right , the upper body of the grunt has minimal articulation to reduce cost and maintenance , but has very articulated legs to do jumps , manouvres and such
I’m actually really surprised by this. I thought I’d be more into the traditional mech designs from KS but this kit actually looks so great in person. Minimal stickers, some cool gimmicks and the yellow parts that can easily be painted to be metallic. A simple grunt done right imo. Great review as always! Will definitely pick one of these up now.
Thank you so much! I think this and the other grunt suits like the Brady Hound are worth looking forward to. I was really surprised by how much effort was put into this kit by the designers
@@HobbyClubhouse 100%. Some HG Gunpla kits definitely feel like they lack that same effort. Hope that this series gains enough popularity to remain around :)
@@HobbyClubhouse well it’s part of the Oceanic group which Australia geographically is in. Also the Bunyip is an Australian Aboriginal mythological monster and well a boomerang is also Australian
Dude, zero likes so far, AMAZING!!!~ I love this review and I now love the Bunyip even more, it looks like a great kit and a very unique grunt suit. I'm also a sucker for drones in mecha series, weather they be grunts or main characters, AI controlled machines are just cool!~
Thank you so much:) I've loved the Boomerang too myself ever since they announced the kit. It's like a collection of all the best things: grunt / non-humanoid (kinda) / dem legs
A thought hit me while watching this review-- I'd love to see these designers take a stab at the tripods from War of the Worlds. As for the Bunyip itself, I cant wait to get my hands on one. It scratches that itch for an unorthodox design in the same way the oftmentioned Wodom does. This seems like a great desktop kit; one to have within hands-reach to fiddle around with. Thanks for another fantastic review!
You're very welcome as always:) This guy keeps bringing up talks of Bigzam and the Wodom -- both of which really need a proper release. It's always exciting to get unorthodox kits
i think this is the best design released from kyoukai senki so far its so well engineered and articulated that the person who designed this clearly put his heart into it
The drone units are more interesting designs compared to the mailes. This is the first design where the hydraulics actually make sense and don't seem to just be there to look somewhat realistic
I don't know, why should I care I don't want this kit...2:32...I'll take 20. Great review as always! I'm personally not into this line but you have a way of making everything look interesting by highlighting all the charm and appeal in a model.
Kyoukai Senki kits would all look wonderful in dioramas because of how nicely they fit into a real-world context. Sure hope Hobby Japan would do a cool one
looks great, I really feel they can build the same parts separation / articulation into 1/144 - based on their ability to create RGs. I'll probably get this at some point, once it goes on sale. But I'm excited by the potential of a small army of 1/144 scales running around with zakus
If they make gashapon products of the series in around that size I'd be all over it. Dunno if I'd want to assemble a ton of super small 1/144 kits though and then drop something onto the floor
@@HobbyClubhouse I'd imagine it will not be much more complex than the hover tanks from the ground war set - in terms of parts. it will be fun hand painting / basic wash. but I'll just add this to my dream of bandai someday releasing 1/144 tactical pods from macross...
This review completely sold me on the kit! I've liked the show ok so far (weird nationalist overtones aside) but I think I have to pick up one of these and the hero suit. They're just incredibly unique, and it'll be fun getting them into a nice little posed battle scene! Thanks for the awesome video!
You're very welcome as always:) I've been scratching my head a bit over that weird nationalism fantasy in the story too and keep wondering if the storywriters weren't aware of how uncomfortably ironic it is. The AI Gai is a lot more likeable than I expected and is surprisingly not just a one-tone cartoon animal character
you gota love those weird grunts. and also the knifes looks like the swords from the grimgerde with i think is fun. now i just need to find som where i can get like a lot of them.
Woah that is a big kit 😲 I gotta say it's a really unique kit It reminds me of a Trex with its little arms lol. It's definitely unique i like the design
i just need to say your cat is fucking gorgeous....back on topic...these things are so weird and i cant help but love the way they look...ive got the Kenbu on the way to check one out..i have a feeling im gonna like it and want more..heres hoping
He's gotten used to butting into all my videos now:) The MAILeS units look really cool, but they do need other different-looking suits to compliment them. So far the series are all good purchases
If you mean how they're built then I guess in principle they are. If you mean the color then the plastic for the MAILeS units are sadly all black - so the Boomerang slaps them all in the face :)
@@HobbyClubhouse Well no. I meant, if I had a spare Bunyip laying around and I didn't want, or couldn't paint the pistons in my byakuchi, could I swap out the black ones with the Bunyips gold ones?
I like the design, but I feel like it's VERY basic for there to only be one in the kit. Maybe there could've been two, like the hg Loto maybe? Regardless it's still a nice design and certainly unique enough.
Thank you so much! Sorry it took a while for me to get back to replying comments. My top pick for sure is the EG RX-78 Gundam, but right next to that is the Revive HGUC RX-78 which is as close to an all-round package as they come. The Revive Mk-II is a great first kit too. The Revive Hyakushiki will win over anyone, though that has a slight chance of breaking in the legs depending on your bro's age. Also, mad props for being a good brother, sir!

It's looks like a flatter thinner distant cousin of the ED-209 from ROBOCOP
It's even AI-controlled and has gun arms as well
@@HobbyClubhouse true

be fair it supposedly is only doing that to jump or menuever.

As an Australian I was so happy to see this mech in the anime. The kangaroo jumping legs are also an amazing touch.
I actually didn't check, but I wonder if Australia is a part of that group of countries that operate the Boomerang
@@HobbyClubhouse well it’s part of the Oceanic group which Australia geographically is in. Also the Bunyip is an Australian Aboriginal mythological monster and well a boomerang is also Australian
Wait, I had no idea the Bunyip is a thing too
@@HobbyClubhouse Bunyip is a cryptid like the Loch Ness Monster but from Australia.

i think this is the best design released from kyoukai senki so far
its so well engineered and articulated that the person who designed this clearly put his heart into it
I get the feeling the kit designers liked making something so unusual and they had a lot of room in the budget to make it great
@@HobbyClubhouse and they really used every single cent of that budget to make the kit as great as it possibly can
Thank you for mentioning the but cheeks, very nice, will buy it for that 👍
The drone units are more interesting designs compared to the mailes. This is the first design where the hydraulics actually make sense and don't seem to just be there to look somewhat realistic
Agree , this guy looks more like a metal gear rex than your average anime Mech and i love that
They really do look like a machine that'd be made for real as opposed to a humanoid robot
It's like mgs rex, which is odd, but amazing
And it looks like Metal Gear Gander when the legs are fully extended too
Ya know, this might be the kit I pull the trigger on and pick up for this line. Great review as always, keep up the good work!
Thank you:) kinda wish it was slightly cheaper to make impulse buys and multiple purchases easier
I don't know, why should I care I don't want this kit...2:32...I'll take 20.
Great review as always! I'm personally not into this line but you have a way of making everything look interesting by highlighting all the charm and appeal in a model.
The Boomerang is oddball enough to be worth a look even if you don't want to buy one. Who doesn't like a long-legged walker autonomous mech
I love me a nice Big Zam 2.0!
It's like a mass production Bigzam
@@HobbyClubhouse lol yeah
The Zakus of kyoukai cool grunt suit less correction stickers and fun to build ,it will be a good use on dioramas hehe
Kyoukai Senki kits would all look wonderful in dioramas because of how nicely they fit into a real-world context. Sure hope Hobby Japan would do a cool one
When bandai gives this kits more love than other kits today
damn, gonna have to get a bunch of these guys to have in a squad!
They'd go really well with some numbering and team markings too
Good job on the build as usual.
Ah, missed a reply to you here. Thank you so much:)

Lots of people will be racing you for them:)

He keeps barging into my videos
Another great review
Thank you as always:)
im so jealous. This kit looks fun as well.
It really is a lot of fun and goes well with the Kenbu
Awesome! This design remind me to Metal Gear Rex. I wonder it's look like with metal gear color scheme?🤔🤔
I'm kinda surprised that after over two weeks no one has done it yet
This thing really reminds me of a Vex Wyvern....
I kinda want this as a sort of generic grunt for other figures
It has a lot of surfaces to add markings and decals too like that massive top side, so it can be easily adapted to whatever custom context you like
this robot design fits well in war robots world
Two weeks after release and I'm still waiting for someone to add a third leg on them
Big zam is proud of his grandchild 😂
You know, these would fit the idea of a mass-produced and cost-reduced Bigzam pretty nicely
you gota love those weird grunts. and also the knifes looks like the swords from the grimgerde with i think is fun. now i just need to find som where i can get like a lot of them.
There will be scalpers and honest fans racing you for the kits:) not an easy time to get multiples of a kit
It reminds me of something out of a N64 game
Not gonna lie Bunyip Boomerang reminds me of ED-209, the legs and the machin gun arms looks similar
Woah that is a big kit 😲
I gotta say it's a really unique kit
It reminds me of a Trex with its little arms lol. It's definitely unique i like the design
I'd like to see two Boomerangs have a knife fight and rake at each other with those arms
@@HobbyClubhouse omg I didn't know I needed to see that until you wrote that.
This kit seems like a super joy.
Also, can we have a review of hobby???
It depends if Hobby would let me get footage of him that isn't him sleeping :')
If I ever get this kit I'm so not gonna Customize it and turn it intoa Metal gear :P
Bandai recently reprinted their Builders Parts MS Radome 01. Just sayin' :)
It's funny that CC translates Byakuchi as Batshit 🤣🤣🤣
The weird names of the series must be confusing the heck out of the autocaption bot
Man, i hope they announce a FM version of this as well, because i like the FM scale better than the HG scale, and already preordered the FM kenbu.
I really want that too. The Kenbu is a sensible choice of course, but I'd be first in line for an advanced Boomerang kit
@@HobbyClubhouse cheers to that.
i just need to say your cat is fucking gorgeous....back on topic...these things are so weird and i cant help but love the way they look...ive got the Kenbu on the way to check one out..i have a feeling im gonna like it and want more..heres hoping

Odd question but bear with me.
Are those gold pistons the same kind as the ones in the Mailes chest?
If you mean how they're built then I guess in principle they are. If you mean the color then the plastic for the MAILeS units are sadly all black - so the Boomerang slaps them all in the face :)
@@HobbyClubhouse Well no.
I meant, if I had a spare Bunyip laying around and I didn't want, or couldn't paint the pistons in my byakuchi, could I swap out the black ones with the Bunyips gold ones?
This...this is going to be awesome for scratchbuilding parts. Sorry Boomerang, your parts will be harvested so that other builds may live!
The knife hands will be an amazing upgrade to any flagship MS
HELP I CAN'T UNSEE THE TIE NOW
He's very well dressed and ready for work
I like the design, but I feel like it's VERY basic for there to only be one in the kit. Maybe there could've been two, like the hg Loto maybe? Regardless it's still a nice design and certainly unique enough.
They're bigger than you might imagine so a two-pack would be a pretty beefy box. I might kinda like that though
I really like your channel i just want your opinion for the best starter gunpla for my brother
Thank you so much! Sorry it took a while for me to get back to replying comments.

@@HobbyClubhouse Thanks man cause i am having a hard time to pick for him :)
The torso looks like a cobra head
inspired by metal gear
Legally distinct: the best kind of distinct.
Boomerang = ED209 + Zaku
actually the design oddly makes sense.. **remembering T-7T from terminator**
He's kinda like the T-1 too without the goofy tank treads
This Zaku looks weird.
"This is no Zaku boy! No Zaku!" - R
Hello there it's seems that I early again
Very early indeed
@@HobbyClubhouse it's looks more realistic than our usual GM's and zakus
It really does, you can easily imagine this being a real machine deployed for military use
@@HobbyClubhouse I can see this happening in the US lol
buttcheeks? damn he clapping
Truly buns of steel
god dang it stop bringing up the cheeks, lol.
I was being cheeky:)
