I quite like the anime accuracy. The inner frame for the armor was a cool idea but just made it look way too bulky, particularly in the arms.

The beam rifle looks like they took a FAMAS and un-bullpuped it.

I'm glad they go for anime styled designs. I like the anime designs, it's why I got into this hobby in the first place.

So only a few pre-2000 MG Gundams left that are in need of a Ver.2.0: GP01 and Ground Type Gundam.

love the fact that the name ALEX is a parody of Rx

something said here makes my brain hurt 'feels like a master grade from 2015' like yeah, I know you mean it feels old but 2015 was a GREAT year for master grades, Gundam X, Origin Gundam, Hyaku Shiki, Wing Fenice, red warrior.

I mean, at the end of the day, whether you like a kit's look or not is SUBJECTIVE. I do think the kit looks great. However, I appreciate how you try to sound objective in this review though, unlike some other reviewers when they dislike a kit and they paint it at the worst light possible.

war in the pocket broke my heart.

Dude please continue doing these reviews i really love them!

The kit has a great deal of potential. There's quite a bit to work with in that box. An exceptional display potential. So much you can do with it.

I hope this is a base for them to make a GM Cannon II. Hopefully with proportions that don't hurt the kit's mobility [i.e: not too anime accurate]. The frame of the chobham armor really does add that bit of spice to make the kit standout.

I just got this kit a few days ago. It's my first master grade kit

This kit reminds me of a kid in the winter with so many chunky clothes on that he can't even bend his elbows LOL

With the CHOBAM armor, it's now the BIG CHUNGUS Gundam. I really like how clean and sharp it looks as a kit in both of the versions you can have for it. Gonna have to pick one up eventually.

Love this first mg I'm going to buy

Well, the Robot Damashii Alex with the Chobham armor is webshop exclusive, so they definitely couldn't resist that additional revue in some way.

I ended up removing the hands. They were going to break

I just bought this kit and I love it. My only complaint so far is that the blue cap over the V-fin will pop off at the slightest touch. Makes the building process a bit frustrating once you put on an arm and have to search for that part because it popped off while moving it.

For the huge rifle may you can super glue a small earth magnet on the backpack & rifle and have it go in the backpack at an angle? That's what I did with my HGUC Tristan.

with all the armor on it looks like the catcher of a baseball team :D

I'm not a fan of the overall design, but the layering of the kit with the outer frame for the heavy armor is really kool. Would love to see more kits like that.

I love how chunky the ALEX with Chobham looks, I'm not gonna lie.

Definitely watch those ball joints on the wrist. 360 degree turn and it snapped. Tight joints all round but the others seem well enough

Idk I think the thicker proportions look better. To each his own though. Great review.

I genuinely think the MG RX-78-2 Gundam (Ver. 2.0) and the MG MS-06 Zaku II (Ver. 2.0) sets are super anime accurate imo.

Say what you want about the kit, I don’t think we have had part separation like this for any other MG. I would’ve liked to have water slides compared to sticker decals. Who knows we might get a MG Ver. Ka where it could potentially be more screen accurate. I am happy we did get another main character Gundam Mobile suit though, I’d love to see a MG Atlas Gundam From Thunderbolt.

Awesome master grade I might buy it when I get the money.

Anyone having problems with their 2.0 wrists? Maybe I stuck them in too deep but now they’re super tight. To the point where the wrists break off. Any solutions to this before I snap off my other wrist?

That pose of Bernie is him in the video telling Al to give to the police to prevent the Musai carrying the nuclear warhead to nuke Side 6.

I got this before seeing your review and the wrists did twist and snap from the ball joint. So I had to buy another one. Did you sand the ball part itself or the part it snaps into?

I are waiting for the Real Grade of NT1!

Oh! The clear colour version of this was just announced, it's a Gundam Base Tokyo exclusive Now I can see the inner frame of the Chobham armor while still having it on, definite buy for me

I think this kit looks amazing but I understand and respect your opinion

I love that youre making it objective even though u dont love it. Youre a great reviewer!!!

can that back skirt be seperated to move independently? asking as the barbatos lupus and lupus rex have conjoined front skirts, with little ball pieces in there that are cupped by that 'cowling' piece. is this the case here with the nt-1 alex?

He's not kidding, the wrist is fragile, mine snapped. I'm trying a scratch build wrist. Im doing a custom anyway so if all else fails I'll probably give him a claw hand.

The hip joint is of the zaku 2.0 design.. which is quiet good.

Nicely done.thnks

please bandai.... *mg kampfer 2.0*

It wouldn’t surprise me if the design for this kit was all or partially ready years ago, but they’ve only decided to produce it now having to make way for the RG line and other new series kits along the way

did anyone else have a problem with the arms not staying on? They just fall off and seem impossible to snap in...

very hazel like back skirt with the armor on

side skirts remind me of the mg 00 raiser, can't touch that damned thing without the side skirts popping off.

Nice one.

I believe you missed the detachable magazine on the beam rifle. ☺️😊😉

Dude it looks like your Tristan build!

7:45 i wish i watched these section of the video before i build my own nt Now the wrist has stretch marks and half broken Thank god i didn't move it too much

Kind of beautiful anime wise

What a fucking magnificent kit

You're crazy, I think it looks great!!

I want to come forward and show my support for the aesthetics of this kit. I prefer mechs with a bit of weight to them and I feel this does a good job of capturing that pre-AU chunkiness of Gundam designs.

I've seen reports of the balls on the wrist joints not fitting right, how should I sand these down? with a sanding stick, or sand paper...

I didn't notice until you mentioned it but it does seem bulkier than it should be. The backpack in particular is massive.

I hope you do a comparison of this against the robot spirits version

P-Bandai MG Tristan coming up

Btw..The wrist may need sanding.

I miss my alex’s hands

On a reversal, I wish this was PBandai So we could get the base bot for cheaper. The Armor doesnt do much anyway

probably a bit funny if they made an MG Tristan out of this thus kinda redeems its HG brother's infamous status.

14:30 Master Grade Gundam Big Chungus

Thats fast.

Al and Bernie figure... instant cry

Just repeating what I said in TheKrowSama's review: This should also be Bandai’s chance to redeem the Tristan, after that s***-tier HG that we got in 2017. And I don’t mind it being P-Bandai; considering its bad reputation (due to how the OVA went and, as mentioned, its crap HG) and thus only few people wanting it. Otherwise, I can see a few pro builders modifying the hell out of this to make their own Tristan. P.S. With the announcement of the MG Barbatos, I wonder is we are gonna get a broken V-fin for it too, considering it tends to break its V-fin quite often too. :P

King Deedeedee's mask

Prepare for a P-Bandai MG Tristan

The biggest bummer about this kits design is that if we ever get an MG Tristan, it won't look as great as it does in the anime 😂

This kit has a big badonkadonk

i'll excuse myself 0:12

When it's anime accurate people complain, when it's edgy like the the Ver 2 Freedom people complain lol. Anyways great review as always

so...MG Tristan & Re100 Zaku 3 Kai next? XD

So is this how nice MGs look as a straight build without any detailing?

Different strokes for different folks. I think this kit looks great, but then again I'm a bit older and grew up with robots that looked like this. Personally I think designs like the Destiny are hideous.

chances of a MG Tristan though. The head also looks like it jumped straight from the MG Gundam G04

Not all girls love beefy boys.

It looks good 😝

Anyone broke the wrist ? So frustrated....

This is not Anime accurate as proportions go, if it was it'd have much broader shoulders, thinner waist, thinner v fin and i think that's it?

I got pissed when building this because i broke the left hand

I hate how the clobham armor looks compared to the anime

the proportions are pretty dreadful when it comes to anime accuracy. The head is probably the worst offender with it's cheek guard design and larger faceplate spoiling what made Izubuchi's design so great. Also why did the shins get shrunk down so much??

Agree on the aesthetics, don't care too much for the blocky anime look. Wish they had gone for Katoki or even Tokigawa designs and slimmed it a bit. Still, looks like a pretty damn good MG

You missed a point of articulation in the waist which increases the range of the ab crunch. Check out Mecha Gaikotsu’s review for a clearer explanation

*MG Gundam NT-1 Alex "Hamburger Maker" Ver.2.0

not for me, I do not like that armor at all lol looks like an awesome kit for people that do though

I don't like the looks as well....proportion just looks off and I think Katoki did a better job redesign the looks on GFF figure. Even the RD ver looks better. The only thing that catch my eyes are those Choham Armor inner frame, it does looks cool tho. Otherwise, easy pass for me.

when everyones waitin for more realistic MG zaku 3.0, the anime like ALEX gundam came out of no where...

I don't like to hate on a kit. But man, NT-1 looks waay too chunky to me. I think the best way to describe it is that it looks like it's wearing its dad's clothing. And I suspect if they ever do the mudrock it will be based on this so hmmmm. Other than that it has some cool features and that Chobham armour definitely makes up for its sins. Thanks for the review Zach!

I think this kit itself looks awesome, just wish it had a different color scheme (painting, I know). The navy blue outer armor really doesn't look good with the bright blue toes. Still, really cool kit.

Good review. The kits not for me unfortunately

Gundam Meme idea: Mg Freedom: Alex, aren't u supposed to lose weight to pose for ur 2.0 model? Mg Alex: I procrastinated. 😫 Mg Nu: bro?!

i took my mg alex out and tried to compare by eye to the reviews of alex 2.0 and from what i can see i really wish they didnt make alex so bulky like in the chest, backpack, torso and waist.

Hey! I build kits from 2008 so anything beyond that is "recent" to me.

Full Thiccness

To sculpt a rock or to sculpt a toilet for Bernie to sit on? Bandai has provoked creativity in the form of Bernie's toush.

I dont like how it looks either

Funny why Bandai didn’t choose to do similar waist balljoint like the RX78-2 Origin or 3.0 where all the skirts are easily moved and stayed in well. That side skirt gives me of the early 2005 kind of vibe.

If bandai sold the chobham separately, this thing will be abandoned like the gm sniper custom maybe worse

Thiccc

man i am not a fan of those unt spacy decals. i know its accurate but. you know.. its eh

I am not a fan of this gundam at all but this kit is friggin over the top awesome
