First time I've ever subbed to any channel, love the videos, keep up the good work, getting back into the models finally, you may have answered this before but do you paint any of your models?

Many other reviewers tend to shill for bandai. Thats why i always look for tue jabman’s review of a potential mg purchase. With epyon im so glad i chose the rg over the mg. Looks like an okay kit w some funky areas. I deff hate all things jenky looking stickers related, like the chest and feet. Ps i enjoy the vids jabman!

The old Epyon was actually my first gundam kit too! (only the 1/144 version) Definitly a great looking MG. The heat rod there looks to have pretty great posability, a big plus for this kit in my opinion.

Hey, just like me the high grade epyon was my first kit too! Awesome review tho, just picked this up Friday and built it on Saturday, haven't put the decals on it yet. Without a doubt my favorite feature on this kit is the heat rod, it took a while to assemble the whole thing but man it was worth it. I wonder if they are ever planning on giving us the rest of the Gundams from the series.

Just brought this kit to go with my GFFMC WZ. I hope down the road they make a GFFMC Epyon

Building the heat rod literally pulled the skin of my thumb just like the spiked shoulder piece of the mg Sinanju.

That looks AWESOME!! Epyon is one of my favorite suits over all, I got really excited when I got my high grade a couple years ago( there were only 3 available when I bought it online) this one being master grade it’s a must, do you know if it’s available on amazon or ebay?? Also do you have any Devil gundam??

@jabman025 I can't wait for that! Personally so far all the unicorn MG kits have been flat-out incredible(although Zeta HD color ties Unicorn as my favorite MG). Just ordered this kit fron Animeking who always manages to ship in like 4 days. can't wait to build it. Where do you usually order yours?

This kit is really nice and has made me want to get the rest of them from "Wing". I personally can't wait for Sandrock. I did have a slight issue with the legs being wobbly though. Other then that it's a great kit. I may get another to have both modes next to each other.

Hey Jabman, do you have problems with the ball joint in the waist? My Epyon tends to fall apart at the waist joint. In fact when the model is airborne it just falls apart at the mid section.

If a giant, two-headed monstrosity of a mobile suit came barreling at you at just under mach 1 belting out Randy Newman, even Domon Kasshau would crap his pants. And what's TRULY scary is that I can really picture Milliardo Peacecraft doing it *shudder* Nice review, as usual. Bad nubs don't really bother me, even for a straight build with little painting - filing/sanding away the nubs as opposed to cutting them will leave only minor abrasions that topcoating will cover right up.

great review again! and yeah, i have heard about the bad nubs! :O just like the sinanju i wouldnt have bothered putting on the decals though. its just too much! it distracts from the kit itself in my opinion. im not going to pick this up though. i have never been a huge fan of the epyon... say jabman, will you be buying the delta plus? that is the kit im looking forward to the most at the moment^^

@Meko5 they will. sandrock EW is already announced for november and the heavyarms EW is currently in its planning stage. my guess is that they will release it in february or so.

Ordered this kit off of Amazon, it should arrive by the time you read this comment (It's been a few months, not sure how often you read comments :P) and I know what to look out for when I build it. the nubs aren't much of an issue for me, however as for the water decals, got any tips on how to apply them? I didnt even bother with them on my MG Unicorn Destroy Mode, but did so with my level 7 HG Rx 79 kit, it wasnt TOO bad, but it has simpler geometry.

I was wonderin' if the parts between the MG kits are switchable? Can you put the arms of one MG gundan on another?

@Devotedtobad 4 жыл бұрын

I know this is a necropost, but the answer is yes and no. Most MGs use a standardized set of sizes for joints. That said, allot don't but as long as they are from the same series (endless waltz in this case) allot of pieces will be interchangeable. I'd head to Reddit and ask specifically what you want to interchange beforehand as there are allot of variables that could go wrong. Even if pieces could fit together separately the armor selection may not be compatible. There's allot that could go wrong and the kits are pretty expensive (for my wallet anyway) so if that's a main reason your thinking about certain kits, you should check beforehand. Definitely ask about back pieces as they are not and mostly never have been standardized fyi. One last thing to consider is relative scale difference. They (Master Grades, or MG) are 1/100 but putting a MG Sazabi Ver.Ka arm on an MG EW (Endless Waltz) Heavy Arms will look very odd as the Sazabi is significantly larger at scale (like beastly sized) then the smaller than average MG Wing Gundams, especially the EW ones I've seen. The Heavy Arms EW MG is short enough to be confused for a slightly above average sized 1/144 High Grade (HG) model. Just keep that in mind and also consider it in your kitbash as you may want some taller/thicker legs or bigger shoulders like that. A year late, but I hope that answers your question and any others that are curious. If you want to fool around in something made for that check out The HG build divers and especially The Iron Blooded Orphans, or IBO 1/144, along with the new Core Fighters and 30 Minute Mission series(3MM). They (The IBOs) are cheap and basically designed to be modular across the board. Personally I own allot of IBOs and while quality may be an issue for joints as long as you have some experience fixing there problems they work amazingly kit bashed as they were designed to be extremely modular. The new Core Gundams (Fighters?) (might have the name wrong) are similar but I'm inexperienced with them honestly but they do display that kit bash quality. If you really want to kit bash cheaply, the 30 minute mission series is starting to come along nicely, and they are dirt cheap and are starting to pick up a decent library of small add-ons and recently big add-on conversions. They aren't part of an aired or comic series so they are non cannon but they are designed specifically for extreme kit bashing on a budget. No joke, you get a main 30 mission "Gundam", they look like fancy general models at fist, aka cannon fodder and convert them into Armored Core esque models or full fledged Gundams both specialized and non as well badass general infantry, and my fav Mercenary styles. Since there's no scale to build up to you could easily paint them by hand and kit bash some action figures to create badass one of a kind models I only suggest that as a conversation between myself and a WarHammer 40k painter were discussing his custom alterations and those models were displayed right in front of us and he honestly considered trying something like that. A little advanced for most but I intend to attempt to fulfill that vision we shared as I'd like to pick up a few lessons in painting from an experienced painter who had a style I enjoy. Anyway, I'm ranting off topic, but I recommend picking up.a popular IBO like Barbatos and a similar "hero" Gundam and checking out the any Graze builds. They only vary by good guy bad guy internal skeletons and are mostly uniform and completely modular all round. Unless you've already kit bashed before hand IBO and 3MM sets should give you some decent ideas of what and where you can go as you scale up. Just check Reddit, I'm sure someone better than me could give you better and more specific assets and examples. If you paint too, you can just disregard most of this btw, fixing these issues can be a hassle but if you are into even minor customizing, experienced with repairs, just working with plastic in general, and a bit of resculpting then the only limit is what you (and your wallet) can think of. Good luck, stay safe.

Why do they call these kits "Endless Waltz" kits? Epyon isnt even in Endless Waltz, and none of the other Gundams in these EW kits even look like the remake takes from the Gundams in the Endless Waltz movie. They look like how they look in the original show.
