As always drop your top 10 kits of the year below this comment so that everyone can see! And they don't have to have come out this year, just let us know the ones you enjoyed the most!

I'm watching this while building my RG Hi-Nu & I agree wholeheartedly. Calling this kit great is an understatement. My god, the details on this kit are 👌🏻

Glad you got past through all those copyright issues you mentioned. The best Gunpla reviewer

I've just finished building my RG Hi-nu and the hype is definitely real! Can't wait for the next RG line. I really hope Bandai release more RGs this year. It's my perfect type of gunpla line.

the theme for this year was quality over quantity.. designing and making plans for the kits as well as the problems you mentioned IRL probably compounded the number of kits released but with an actual mountain of backlog I'm not complaining.. looking forward to another great year from the channel Mecha G!

I began this hobby back in July 2021 and have completely immersed myself in every gundam anime and I have probably spent an unwise amount of money scrounging for kits I want. I really hope that this hobby gets back to its more thriving state soon so some kits just aren't impossible to get or paying triple the retail price. I love your videos mecha they have proved an invaluable asset on this journey that I see myself on for a long time thank you!

I've had a HGCE Strike Freedom sitting on my storage for nearly three years. Always procrastinating on buying nippers, sanding paper, and other tools. It wasn't until I built a 30 Minute sister followed by a Kotobukiya Frame Arms girl that I finally felt confident to get started with my first Gunpla. Now after finishing the Strike Freedom and posing it I'm in love and have been tracking the best Gunpla I can get to finally start my Gunpla collection. Your videos have been an indispensable tool on deciding what gundams to order so thank you very much. Already ordered my very first Master Grade Freedom v2.0 and was so captivated by your review of the MG Wing Zero EW Ver Ka that also ordered that as well. After seeing this.....dear God. It is time for my first Real Grade. That Hi-Nu Gundam is majestic.

look man. I gotta agree with you on the RG Hi Nu. Every time I look at it. I feel a sense of satisfaction that I can’t quite get with my other kits that I own. Its not a Model kit. Its an experience worth every penny, every second spent putting it together. even posing it made me smile in ways I thought wasn’t possible til after the pose was finalized. I love this thing

This has been such a crazy year for me! I renewed my absolute love for GunPla, and I build so many Kits last year! Also, build my first ever CUSTOM! Made a 30MM Kit look like SEPHIROTH!! Made it for a contest build, TOOK SECOND PLACE!! Also build my #1, the Wing Zero Custom Ver.Ka!! And this year will be crazy for me as well!! My second Custom Build, and another MG that was in my list that I’m going to build soon. MY LOVE FOR MECHA IS STILL ALIVE!!!

I have to agree with you about rg Wing as well as being my first rg. And for the first time in ages I found myself enjoying the build itself immensely!

HES ALIVE on a serious note, this year was a really important year for me, it was the year i got into gunpla and it was truly a mazing

RG: The small size and affordable prices of the High Grade, the advanced inner frame technology of the Master Grade and the massive parts count and details of the Perfect Grade

4:05 imma nitpick you here. Helios isn't just made up of the destiny, X, and freedom. It's also made of the double-X and the unicorn.

Oh you resolved it? MG Virtue is nice for last year...but then the zeong and hi-v rg are also good...but if you asked me what's overall best plamo from Bandai including non-gundam from last year, I'd say it's the 30ms and trychaser 2000

2021 was definitely a lean year for Gunpla. But what we got were mostly really high quality. But P-Bandai was jam packed. 3:14 HG MSB-GH03 Gundam Helios is a great choice for sure. It's a kit bash of HGCE and HGAW kits; all of which are relatively new. 6:09 FM GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam is 1 that I need to get. 9:27 HGUC MSN-04II Nightingale is a CHONK kit for sure. It's too bad it fell victim to scalpers and apparently still does. There's the RE 100 version though. 12:06 HGCE GAT-02L2 Dagger L is a nice release; especially those who are really into grunt units. 14:52 RG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam is a really good kit from what I hear. But what I want is a new version of MG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam EW. 18:12 HGUC RX-105 Ξ Gundam is definitely a mega CHONK kit. 21:16 MG MVF-X08 Eclipse Gundam definitely came out of nowhere. I don't have much feelings for this but it's unique looking. There are other SEED/SEED Destiny kits that could use an updated MG so I think that's partially why some are upset with this. 25:05 RG MSN-02 Zeong as definitely a surprise kit. I'm more surprised that we don't have an RG MSN-02 Perfect Zeong yet. I'm sure fans are eagerly awaiting for it. 28:00 Not surprised that MG GN-005 Gundam Virtue is so high up on this list. Of course Bandai will make a new Season 2 line up. The question is if we'll get a new MG GN-001 Gundam Exia to match the quality of the other new MG 00 kits. 31:20 RG RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam is an excellent choice for number 1. All that's left is for Bandai to announce RG FA-93-ν2HWS Hi-ν Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type. Is it already the 10th anniversary of this channel?! 😲 Congratulations! おめでとう！

Finally, I waited so long for this video yay

I agree with nightingale, he really makes any collection big or small look a lot bigger. I’m glad I bought mine in 2021

Dude, that outro really got me. I had a rough 2021, probably the roughest year of my life. Our family business was wrecked by the pandemic so I was broke for most of the year and I also lost a family member. Things are thankfully turning around since last month and you're right, it looks like 2022 will be a breakout year me. Lot of big plans ahead financially and personally. Thanks, man. I love your channel and your content. Keep it coming and I'll keep supporting!

“Pure poetry in plastic”. Damn that rolls off the tongue nicely.

Joined the Gunpla crazy train in December and immediately became entranced. Built through my first MG and 2 HGs but when I saw the HiNu I desperately wanted it and somehow found and bought it for $55 for on GameStops website the day after Christmas. I’m waiting until I get a better nipper before I crack that bad boy open. Thanks for making epic/detailed and unbelievably consistent reviews! Best of luck this year!

What I love about the rg hi nu is that it really captures the bulkyness of the original novel design and with the colors of the later redesign and I think combined makes the best looking hi nu I ever seen.

Ive been waiting for this one for a while now🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭

Heliios was actually my first gundam build and made Me fall in love with gunpla

I've been waiting for this content for a long time. Good for a gunpla recommendation that I haven't bought in 2021

When the pandemic started I started working from home and was extremely bored becuase I was just working and playing video games and sleeping but for some random reason I see on my KZfaq feed Mecha Gaikotsu zeon rg review... No idea what it was I watched it and I thought it was an interesting hobby, now I watch all your reviews and I'm happy to say I have 10 awesome kits with me and plan to keep going, thank you for opening the world of gunpla to me, you're awesome!

I've got my RG hi nu on the way and I can't wait to build it, the details on it look absolutely amazing. That being said, despite shortages, the rollout of kits in 2021 has been small but the builds and suits they chose have been great, the hg xi is gorgeous, mg virtue is amazing and the rg TV wing was a nostalgic build for me being the first gundam I ever saw and the RG does it so much more justice over the MG, looking forward to what 2022 will bring

my favorite is the 00 raiser RG MG PG, but all the gunpla in your category are really cool brother!!!

*When a new year starts* Mecha: Ah shit...here we go again

7:00 Damn the high grade Helios is looking very different in looks and price if i’m being honest :)

It's very nicely presented with both kits and pilots to get known with. How could i forget RG Zeong after thinking of MG Eclipse and Virtue. 😍 Now for the wish list Bandai should make: - An RG Kshatriya - An MG Flag - An HGFC Dragon Gundam ( but still busy for HGAC Shenlong) - An MG Gusions ( like Virtue and Nadleh ) 🤩

2021 is when I got back into Gunpla and got myself a MG Sazabi Ver.Ka for Christmas. Haven't opened the box yet haha but can't wait to start it!

Best intro/ recap you’ve done for a year review

Thanks to your videos I've gotten into gunpla recently. My first RG kit was the Wing from this year (my 2nd kit after the hg Rx-78 2). My 3rd kit was the GM GM and I'm currently building the Origins Char Zaku 2. I've got a Hi V waiting for some long down time. Thanks for all the great reviews!!

Best Gunpla channel I’ve seen. Saved me time, money and made me smile often. Thank you.

I just got the eclipse from Christmas, but had to bring it home on a plane from Michigan. Took me a day to realize one of the ears snapped off at the top. Almost cried 😔 love that thing soooo darn much

No surprised Hi Nu come in first. He was literally masterpiece of art ever exist in world of gunpla. The only downgrade is (i'm agree with Mechagaikotsu here) the gold and silver not as good as you want or expected, and the scale is not accurate. But it was no big deal since they(bandai) give you a masterpiece of mecha model that you won't regret buying one.

The command quanta really is one helluva high grade, best I've built in a while. aesthetics are great and the weapon load out is excellent.

speaking of the Gunpla shortages I heard that Bandai is building a new larger factory in Japan to keep up with the supply demand.

Brooo im so happy that Battlelogue happened. AND THEIR SONG IS SUCH A BANGER TOO!

Awesome! Watching your videos helps me decide on what gunpla to buy next hahahha

Almost all the gunpla kits I ordered back in May 2021 have arrived (1 still backordered and 1 sitting in my virtual warehouse) along with the large number of bases I ordered back before winter. With 8 of my 12 total kits built, 7 of which are on display (curse you RG Justice!), I've come to realize that I need a dedicated space for these things. Space I may not have in my apartment. Still, I've fallen in love with these things, and may have to expand beyond my original goals for the collection.

Thank you so much for the past 10 years since the inception of your channel mecha. I hope you would be doing this for more years to come!

My store finally had a huge restock of the hi nu and I’m glad I didn’t give in to scalpers all the more making it worth the wait!!!

You’re about to make me bankrupt with your reviews! I love these videos!

It feels like the best 2020 gunpla video was just yesterday

I've been waiting for this yearly content, thanks mate! Cheers to awesome 2021 gunpla community!

I literally just found gunpla 2-3 days ago.. and was amazed and the HI-NU… and the best part you linked where to buy… take my money

I gotta agree with this year's top 10 choice, as I have 3 of them from this list (Nightingale, Dagger L, Hi-nu). The RG hi-nu gundam is the best gunpla I've built so far, now I'm excited for this year's best kit (RG God Gundam... I'm calling it right now)

I’ve been checking this channel everyday since the new year for this video… didn’t disappoint!

I started this hobby late 2021, and I have to say that your list has been my helping guides of what to splurge my money on haha!

What a narration!!! Thank you for being the best gunpla reviewer mecha. I hope one day Bandai will do something amazing to this awesome channel.

10 years.....I have been seeing a shy young man turning into a black nail gundam collector

He’s back !

Okay, the Calamity with the wings is definitely a thing. I may have an idea for my next custom project now...😊😊

Gotta love the Unicorn gundam theme

love the list! i did wait for special mentions though considering the judge and takeda shingen got reviews and praises. i know this is primarily a bandai-focused channel, but it wouldn't hurt to mention these in passing.

Before buying a new kit, I decide to watch your video to see if it's the right thing or not hahahaha. You are a starting point, personally, to make the decision to build and above all, have fun when building

I just got my Hi Nu Gundam today and hella excited to build it just waiting to have spare time to properly enjoy the build

Thanks for the year end review! For the #9 calamity gundam aesthetics at 7:05, the first thing that I saw was that white part sticking out of it's groin.

Another great video, because of your videos, I'm now a full blown Gundam builder and collector. Thank you!!!!

I got the special edition entry grade RX-78 in the icy winter colours. I love how it all went together even if I put the knees together backwards first. It's way more articulated than I was expecting. Especially the feet. I bought it because of how much you enjoyed the previous version of it. I love the SD sized stuff because they are just ridiculous but the rest of the entry grades are a nice as the RX-78, I'm definitely going to fill up on those too.

because of mecha gaikotsu, i have a good collection of gunpla without regrets, and a great hobby while wasting time in this quarantine times

never thought i would see a gundam doing a jojo pose and suddenly realize that its what ive always wanted

Mecha thank you for bringing the best of the gunpla World into the spotlight for so many years. You helped me a lot man, guiding my every choices of lines and all. I fell in love with the MG Storm bringer thanks to you and I finally received it. A 7 months journey for the big boy lmao take care. Stay sharp as a new type.

Love your channel, love your content. The production of this video is top notch, thank you for all this and wish you a great 2022 ahead.

Huge thank you for all the reviews you've done Mecha Gaikotsu!

I've been waiting for this

I was looking forward to this video since the beginning of the year! Always enjoy your videos!

Sounds like a 10 year build off needs to take place MG! How about some build nights on your discord? Some q&a type nights while you build or something?

You really stepped up your writing game on this one dude, great video as always

Adam Savage needs to be either the RG NU or RG Hi Nu. He had a great time with the The Real Grandpa Gundam. But the RG Hi Nu would blow him away.

always love throwing on some of your vids in bg as i build stuff haha just built helios few days ago, working on 00 sky moebius now and rg hi-nu coming in the mail found the helios waist joint pretty loose other then that its friggin cool

man, waiting for him upload this video is kinna fun (seriously)

Great Rundown Video there mate! You are now officially 'Pro Mecha Vlogger Incarnate' Well done & may your Standard Bearing hands never let slide whatever the amount of marksetter/glue/putty 2022 throws in ya face. 😊

Can't find much Gunpla anywhere nowadays, so now I'm on the Kotobukiya train. Lots of Frame Arms & other stuff still available.

Well, I got a new job this last year and for the first time I've been able to buy Gunpla regularly. Although I'm pretty slow to build them still, it seems. I've gotten a bigger backlog of kits in the last few months than I've had for 10 years. And thanks to a local-ish hobby shop that occasionally carries P-Bandai, I've fallen in love with the Advance of Zeta HG line. I think out of the kits I built last year, my favorite is the AoZ Hazel Owsla Mass Production Type. Yes, it's based on a very old kit (the HG Hazel Custom is how old now?!) but it comes with so many display options! Hazel Custom, Advanced Hazel, Primrose, Hazel Owsla MP Type... and those are just the canonical variants you can build right out of the box. I even tracked down two Hrududu and the Hazel II so I can build both Hazel-Rah forms and the official configuration of the Hazel Owsla. Sure, the Wing Zero EW ver Ka is a very technically impressive kit, and it's also super nostalgic for me, but by technicality (I only got the head and upper torso built during the end of last year!) it's my favorite gunpla I've built *this* year. We'll see how high it ranks after I get the Woundwort, Hyzenthlay-II Rah, and Hyzenthlay Rah-II built. :)

Gundam Nadleeh is about to be released as a stand-alone kit, even though it'll be Gundam Base limited but it means some hope for models such as Gundam Odyssey to be released as an independent model.

My housemate actually picked up the hg command quanta as a present for me from Target when I was having a crummy day at uni. It's a superb kit and I hope everyone gets their hands on it o/

It was one of your videos that got me into this hobby in 2021. Damn you! And thank you so much 😂

Alternative title: the coolest gunpla that you can’t afford. But a great video, good job as always👍

Honestly, it was a fight for second place this year with the RG Hi-Nu. It wouldn’t even be close, THAT was the kit of the year by far

While the rg hi nu isn't size accurate, I feel like this is maybe bandai trying to retcon it. Cause it kinda makes more sense that the hi nu which is based on the nu would be about similar size

For someone whose First Gunpla Purchase was the Former King of Gunpla - the RG v Gundam - I really hope to obtain its upgraded version. "The King is Dead, Long Live the King!"

I been waitting foreverrrrrrrrrr for this vids

as always great work!!!! Alway looking forward for your top10 yearly. I am collecting gunpla based on your top 10s.

SHEEESH. MG Eclipse entered Number 4. My Dream Gundam. Hope I got it next year in my birthday. Wish me luck.

they need to make an MG Hi Nu ver Ka V2 inspired by this RG !!

I got the RG Hi-Nu Gundam as a late bday gift and I’ve yet to build it, just waiting for that perfect day.

For the channels tenth anniversary you should go through every one of your number one favorite gundam kits through out the years

Pretty appropriate that that hi-v Gundam takes the top spot. As someone who is not a fan of remote weapons (with exceptions), i love the hi-v Gundam. The ultimate suit for Char's ultimate rival.

Such a great year for Gunpla. The Wing Gundam TV edition, Zeong, and Hi-Nu Gundam are my favorites. All RG no less.

My favourites from 2021 are, in no particular order: MG Wing Zero EW ver.ka HG Age-3 Normal RG Sazabi RG Wing RG Force Impulse MG Barbatos HG RX-78-2 (Revive) HG Leo MG Epyon RG Tallgeese III Btw, congrats for almost 10 years , this channel is almost as old as the end of the world

Nice list worth the extra wait 🤙

“You can never go wrong.” Tristan and victory ver.ka: am I a joke to you

can't wait for u to review the rest of the battlouge kits to see how they stack up against each other

Calling it now, Mecha's gonna get the God gundam and react it's gonna overthrow the Hi-Nu

Great list! I have two on the list in backlog and really want to get Virtue. Glad to see Xi and RG Hi-Nu in the top 5.

"My wallet is ready!" Man I wish I could say that with 100% confidence.

I knew why he wasnt uploading this past weeks been waiting for this!

Love the top 3. Totally accurate top 10 list. LOVE IT!!
