Thank you so much:) Slowly working my way up the KZfaq ladder with each new person who finds their way here!

True af, I hope the algorithm blessed you more

Man, you noticed! not gonna lie, that made my day. it really did take a bit of work stripping the kits back and forth, but I really wanted my shots:) Still tons of stuff I really want to review, so hope to see you around

@@HobbyClubhouse as it stands, the quality and insight you provide in your reviews are just *(chefs kiss)* so good. Here are some things I noticed after recently seeing some of your videos: Really love you going into detail on the design, parts, runners (& its segmentation), and some of the history of the kit like remolds or other miscellanous IRL info like some "behind closed doors" theorizing (alot of that on this review especially). This approach of yours is VERY distinct yet detailed compared to any other Gunpla reviewer on YT that I have seen (and yes, I have seen em all atleast once). To top it off, your scriptwriting is always fluidly written where none of it feels forced and lots of care was taken into it... I always notice good scriptwriting when I see it! Anyways, really loving the content here! So much good effort hidden underneath even though nobody will pick up on it... well... *almost* nobody lol Keep up great work and with more time, Im sure youll get even better. Just remember to prevent burning yourself out :)

Proper chrome plating on plastic takes quite a few steps to make it durable and beautiful - and environmentally friendly. It's quite sad that unregulated Chinese factories really wreck havoc with toxic waste water. Bandai actually cut down on chrome usage a lot after Japan regulated the waste management more strictly in the late 90's Happy holidays to you too:)

Thanks as always:) still lots of stuff I want to cover with reviews

A belated happy holidays to you too, haha. Didn't get to these comments until now. Speaking of which, I really want to review both the ReGZ and Gaplant... when will they reprint them...

Thanks as always:) I was deciding between gloves for a bit but I was really creeped out by other reviews that used them. It looked way too much like a serial killer with a camera...

It's probably really hard to think of a reason for an MS to be gold head to toe. The Akatsuki is made fun of quite a lot even by fans, I've seen so much of it over the years I do like plated kits when the plating is high quality like this, though the price... My poor wallet can only handle so much

@@HobbyClubhouse Good thing such kits are once in a blue moon then, huh?

Happy holidays! The Delta Gundam wouldn't be out of place at the top of a tree right now 🎄

Ah, unfortunately it doesn't have the transformation block and you can't make the shield either. It's frustratingly 90% of a Delta or so

@@HobbyClubhouse well, that's certainly kind of a bummer, but not a big one enough to keep me from getting one whenever I found one in stores

Thank you! It's good you secured one because they really get bought up quick despite the really high price, hope you enjoy the crazy sheen when you get it

Most people can't because you'd need to get all the chemicals you need, and plating plastic is not straight-forward (plastic doesnt conduct electricity soyou need to first get a layer of conductive substance to stick onto it first) There are small companies that help people chrome things, though I don't really see modellers use them. In short, modellers actually forego chrome altogether since it usually isn't an option at all

To spoil the UC0088's eventual review, it's greatest charm is actually as a baby MG Zeta 1.0:) but yes, I really don't like that red winglet either... AoZ is like a boss fight for my type of review, everything is mixed with everything else and there's a billion combos... I will do some of them eventually... Maybe... I just wiped the thing again and again before each shot so it was kind of annoying. You can see it get smudged up in the articulation and transformation part where I couldn't avoid it. Didn't want to wear gloves because it makes me look like a serial killer

Yeah, I think the styling is handsome enough to go against new kits today, though I wouldn't mind an update either. I think it's the most expensive standard-sized HGUC kit even above the Phenex, so I also don't want to buy this thing twice...

It was quite a painful choice a few weeks ago when I could only buy this or the Kai. Both were in stores but I only had the budget for one

Thank you:) I probably will take the rest of the night to play video games - still lots of stuff I really want to review after that though!

Oh yeah, same! 😄👍

Oh yeah, Hobby didn't barge in this time. Probably off somewhere playing when I was filming

My Superior Dragon did okay in the mixture for two days, though I didn't mix a lot of it in You can cut off a bit of an inner wall or a peg to test it. I don't think it's very aggressive to plastic in my experience

@@HobbyClubhouse Thanks! I'll give it a go .

It sort of works, though the paint sometimes doesn't grip well sitting on top of the clear paint already on the part. The bigger issue is the thickness of adding paint onto three (or more) layers already on the part (conductive material, thin layer of metal, clear paint) so the surface will be really uneven and not too beautiful

@@HobbyClubhouse so it is kind of not working and we have to use sticker provided in this case, isn't it?

Yeah, the stickers are probably better

I've wanted to actually, both the classic LM kits and the Kotobukiya ones which I really love. RG ones are good too though those get a lot of love from reviewers already

I guess a phantom 2.0 is more accurate. The Delta Gundam was a new mold that unintentionally(?) re-sculpted lots of the Hyaku-shiki. Lots of fans thought they were going to make a new Hyaku-shiki with this kit back then but it never happened

@@HobbyClubhouse hmmm my guess would be that they planned on doing it at some point until build fighters, when the revive strike was introduced they held back the design until they figured out how to fix some of the seam line problems on the delta

Merry Christmas to you too! I thought about that but found the other reviews with gloves really creepy like it's a serial killer...

Bandai seems dead-set on not reprinting the classic kits over their Revive versions, like the old Guncannon that I really want to review "Curry Shiki" is a much kinder name than what I imagine it as:) I like the little guy but the color is tragic... Also, probably won't be two weeks - but maybe I shouldn't jinx it

I really felt the price when I bought it, though I also really wanted to review it
