love that "amuro absorbed by psychoframe" joke!!! liked specifically for that moment

I really like the new format of putting the unboxing and review in one. It always felt a bit archaic to have them separate, as if you thought KZfaq videos were still limited at 11 minutes. Hope this format continues!

This was my first ever Real Grade, and tbh, I don't think life is gonna get any better than this. It's peaked!

The engineering on this thing cannot be understated. Absolutely outstanding model kit that anyone who enjoys building gunpla should experience.

9:15 Don’t forget the effect parts are also available separately as the Figure Rise Effect Jet effects. Unfortunately, you only get three in a pack. But you get the choice of blue or yellow.

I never understood why Hi-nu had to be a heck of a lot smaller than the Nu-gundam. Nu's Height is part of the reason it evokes power.

Finally you reviewed the kit, and honestly for me personally, as I built it already, the rg hi nu is truly a work of art, it looks beautiful, armed to the teeth, articulated, and overall an awesome real grade, I was planning to get an action base for the hi nu but unfortunately I decided to cancel the order due to excessive delays, but man what a model kit

Loving the new review style!!! Very entertaining! Great job! Keep this up!

Excellent Nu format to go with the Nu Gundam. Format seriously good and suits your sense of humor. Excited to see more

This was my 3rd real grade I've ever built. I fell in love about 20 mins into the build. I also had to order some delpi waterslide decals for mine. The stickers just cheapen the kit imo. Real grades of this caliber need waterslide decals included

Really looks like the RG's have had some serious work done on them. this looks fabulous! I have built that Char RG and while it holds up well, surviving a lot of moves. Just seems like this Hi-Nu shows how far they've come!

I've watched this 3 times already. Such a beautiful kit.

Cant wait to get one... whenever it's back in stock...

For some reason the more I see the more I actually like it without the gold painted. The more muted orange coppery look really gives off the vibe of old 80s space tech, which is my favorite gundam aesthetic next to military bot

Thank u for that last hip breakdown. I found my pose finally

I like how your rotating stand is like "SHAKYSHAKYSHAKYSHAKYSHAKY". It gives the model just that tiny bit of added sass.

Truly a masterpiece, couldn’t get mine on September despite the fact that I went to the store 30mins after it opened, but I managed to get one in December but the cheeky bastards at Amazon charged me the retail price lmao

Can’t wait for the HWS for this RG Hi-Nu, you’d think by now Bandai would have dedicated pieces for the fin funnels if you wanted them displayed. I’d love to have a clear ring like the AGE-FX to display the funnels on, or something reminiscent of the Quebeley funnel effect parts.

Given how great this kit is altogether, I feel a little bad about having spent crazy money on the P-Bandai Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher, because with them together, I can barely do any fun posing with the Hi-Nu at the moment using its in-box accessories. But the two together DO make for a great display piece!

I do like the new(heh) changes to the video format. It has a more professional feel to it.

About time someone used the actual CCA Nu theme in a video instead of the SRW version lol

its easily my favorite RG so far, man if they can land this engineering with more like the S or the double zeta that'd be amazing.

I just finished this kit myself. I absolutely hated the sticker decals. So I waited 3 weeks for a 3rd party water slide decals and honestly. Get water slide decals for this kit. I elevates the kit even more.

With that huge wings there, I wish they made an RG Master Gundam wings fully transformable, and its wing joints sturdy as the inner frame. 🤩

Thanks for the review on the RG Hi-Nu Gundam; simple, brief, and brought out its pros and cons in a relatable vibe... Wishlist unit for now- still gathering ways and means to have it Any wheezle, till the next Gunpla Reviews- and of course the MS Tech History Talks... BTW: Which Nu/ RG Nu is better- Full Armor Nu Double Fin Funnel Type OR Full Armor Hi-Nu + Hyper Mega Particle Bazooka Type ?!

i just got mine today already have plans to paint everyting

Eyyy age-2 theme in the background! Good taste in OST.

My favorite part of the build has to be that amazing shield. Anyways, I think I finished my RG Hi Nu in 4 days, but only because I have the weird compulsion to panel line the armors before putting them together and I built the back pack first because it reminded ne of a yugioh card. Plus my Kotobukiya Mega Man X arrived and I kinda wanna build it first

Man Real Grade have become so damn good

Hope you get the expansion part for this Hi-Nu Gundam because that looks sick... Also, I really hope RG Sinanju gets a 2.0 treatment... That machine's super pretty, but ruined by the flimsy Advanced MS frame and a few loose parts (handcuffs and the knee armor)...

Nice review. Nice info about the scale. With that... Bandai either lied to us or this is a retcon :D

Well, aside from that horrible "gold" plastic (the silver ones are quite forgivable IMO), this for me has become the best RG kit thus far alongside the Nu and the Sazabi. I also love how they remedied the Hi-Nu's upwards head articulation by making its "gundam mullet" articulated.

The arm machine gun actually looks around the same caliber as the 60mm Vulcans, if not a bit larger.

All I can tell you is most of the real grade zaku who's are about the same they're not too bad pain yes but not too bad to build once you get the hang of it

My best guess as to why you'd justify all those opening/transforming panels is to eject waste gasses/heat or to expose thrusters for more mobility, but shield them when not in use.

when I hear "the beam rifle can be as powerful as warships mega particle cannon" how does it exactly fire said beam? Is it a continuous beam/gerobi like the wing gundams buster rifle or is it a amped up charge shot that expands rapidly? Tbh there's a lot questions I have on certain details on mobile suit weapons. Like how does the dober gun from Wing able to fire both beams and ballistic rounds, how strong does a mobile suit have to be in UC to support an e-cap powered rifle, what does it mean when the Nemo is able to use GM II's beam rifle more effectively then the GM II, how does a mobile suit without an e-pac beam rifle charge their built in e-cap beam rifle? The things that keep me up at night when I read the gundam wiki lmao.

You manage to grab a box, it was impressive

Man, yeah, the Hi-Nu is kind of incredible. I ended up painting the gold in a proper gold, the silver in silver, and the blue in a metallic blue paint. And I really love how it came out. I left the lavender, the white, and all of the inner frame as their base plastic, but I thought those parts looked fine as-is. I only painted the blue on a whim, but yeah, it looks really nice with the metallic fleck. Definitely worth at least painting the gold and silver though because the gold is UGLY and the silver needs the work.

The best things is you can paint inside part of opening armor gimmick to give it a vibe of having psycho plate inside. Cause you know what If I have either of nu or hi nu, that what will i do. And wualah I have nu or hi nu Gundam with NTD mode in it 👀

Nu and Hi Nu are truly my favorite Gundam designs.

got a centimeter deep cut with the art knife while making cuts on the parts of this masterpiece. Necessary sacrifice indeed

Haven't gotten the RG Hi-Nu yet and won't for a while till we actually get the HWS version of it : )

That shield cannon is a really unsung powerhouse.

I finally put the RG Nu in beast mode with the Susan Model HWS and it's def a big boi now. Just gotta get the Hi-Nu and do the same. Get that aftermarket hyper mega cannon for both which copies the metal build cannon and its on like Donkey Kong.

Usually in a master grade fan but wow.just wow. Cant believe this os 1/144.

When I get my own copy of this I’m gonna paint it in the beginning g colors because I just think that looks cooler

This Nu Gundam is DEFINITELY for show!

The Hi-V Gundam never made much sense as being shorter Actually,when I looked at the Hi-V,I first thought it was as tall or taller,but I was disappointed to learn that it was around 9 feet shorter

I'm not even sure the RG line is even 1/144 scale anymore, they kinda throw that out of the window with the RG Evangelions mind you are meant to be way bigger in size compared to Mobile Suits.

I'm known in my local community as some kind of speed-building god because apparently 3 hours for an HG Origin Zaku is insane, and this thing took me EIGHT HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES. This thing is a big time-sink to build.

10:43 cheeky!

I love it something puny like 30mm precedes to play video of A10 warthog tearing it up

finally, something had beaten the always bulky zaku 3

New RG God Gundam coming for the new #1 spot

I hope to see a future release of an RG Xi Gundam.

The only reason I'm not salivating over this nutty kit is because those gigantic fuel tanks (way bigger than the manga or the original HG/MG) just make it look too unwieldy to deal with.

The Strike Freedom of Universal Century.

Sinanju should be the first RG 2.0

I feel nostalgia hearing the song from gundam seed never ending tomorrow op English

the mg stand for these nu's have the cross connector to connect rg or mg funnels in flight (minus flames)

I would buy one IF THERE WERE ANY IN THE STOCK.

30mm is nothing to piss at lol (nice review btw)

Damn I want it even more

Man your panel lining is always so clean… what’s your method?

"A" sized battery is appparently a thing. listed as: R23 (carbon‑zinc) LR23 (alkaline) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

Damn. Despite the overall height is much shorter than the original Nu. But goddamn the box is huge.

It's the most amazing real grade ive seen

I currently own two of the HWS versions of the Hi Nu ver Ka, so not quite sure i require this version. Would have preferred a purple colour scheme over the blue too.

GAU-8 30mm goes Brrrrrrrrrt

the amuro joke had me dead☠☠

Don't think anyone will see this but I finally got one after 6 months of waiting

I need this kit for the kneebend alone

The Hi Nu has one sided beam sabres in the source material unlike the Nu. It was a long time ago when I read the manga but I am pretty sure the Hi Nu never had a double bladed sabre.

You got to get the good models out first so you can remember the good ones while suffering through the bad kits

This build was fun, the only complaint I have is that the backpack is too heavy and impairs unaided posing

First of all, thanks for not milking this for two videos. I never watch the unboxings, apart from by mistake. I never paint my gunpla - I build gunpla specifically to get AWAY from painting 40k, to have a nice exquisite treat of a model that you can play with, pose and display. However, the metal injection plastics are gaudy and awful looking, so for the first time I sanded down the bits, airbrushed them and painted the gold in a more subtle tone (as well as the silver vents, turning them gold) and painted the silver parts in vallejo air 'exhaust manifuld' brown/grey metallic which looks fantastic. For me this is Nr. 3 on the RG top list, behind the near flawless Zeong and the actual flawless Force Impulse (though I personally like next to nothing about it, other than the quality and tolerances). I think it's better balanced than the Sazabi and Nu gundam, which puts it ahead. The antennas on the wing binders are dumb/ugly. This kit has so much part separation, but the blue top of the binders are two shells put together which is pathetic when you consider how large and prominent these parts are. The tolerances are great for snapfitting the kit, very tight. Btw, note how the fin funnels aren't symmetrical when they're stored. Drives me up the wall. The height discrepancy doesn't bother me at all, it's a redesign. You could complain about the same about the Nu Ver Ka looking so different from the old MG/movie.

Still waiting for this to get restocked

What are some of your sources for Gundam lore? Do you get most of your information from manga and MSV or do you get that information elsewhere? I’m particularly curious where you got the GM Cannon deployment numbers

I wish anywhere hid this in stock!

Since you're currently experimenting with your format, I figure I'd give some feedback. Putting the unboxind and review together in one video is definitely cool, I like that, makes the whole thing more concise; but I can't say I'm a fan of the changes to the style of scriptwriting. One of the main reasons I watch your reviews over others is because of how to the point they are, no presentation bits to get in the way of that; the jokes, dramatizations and rhethorical questions in this, by contrast, just feel forced and artificially stretched out to me, I found myself skipping through most of the video to get to more relevant parts where I'd watch your other stuff in one continuous go.

Holy moly that joke about the Amuro ray figure got me hard

Sigh... I'm still kicking myself because I missed my chance to get this one. I won't make the same mistake with the god gundam and only the mecha god knows how I'm hounding the online stores waiting for the Hi-Nu re-stock.

Think you can do a review on the rg rx-78-2?

Quick question, if I want to repaint the gold parts with a Gundam Marker GM04, can I apply it straight to the parts or do I need to apply a base coat(?) Like repainting it first with a white gundam marker then do it with gold?

Still the MG Ver.Ka is the premium kit.

The first ms that i see going brrrrt liek an a10 warthog

Can you make a story of Char's unborn kid?

Mine is kinda bad because I lost the funnels and a piece of the funnel attachment and my bird thing on the backpack is not staying still

100 percent the Hi Nu scale should be 22 Meters instead of 20 Meters. There should be a petition to officially change it !!!

Can you make a history of gm

Idk why but the handle slot on my bazooka is loose, its been that out of box. I've tried diffirent hands for the Hi Nu and it's just loose. This kit took me a lot of times since I panel lined the inner frame of legs, all of them.

You’d want to get a silver and gold paint regardless bc those colors are just SO HORRENDOUS.

that is such a sexy looking hi nu gundam

did you top coat first before panel lining?

God I wished I was able to get this at retail price. Always sold out.

My mate wants this kit lol

I want to use action base stand for my Hi Nu Gundam but the gundam is too heavy, what should I do?

A-10

Still waiting on it to arrive at my usual spot. It doesnt help that its holding up my Nightingale as I ordered them at the same time

We never got the rg sinanju stien i think that would have been a better sinanju
