Can't wait for a PG UNLEASHED ZAKU II

HAPPY NEWYEAR EVERYONE!!! 👊

The blue plate on the middle of the chest under the collar part should slide up and down without having to do anything else for the lights to turn on, I've seen it in action elsewhere.

if i recall, bandai mentioned that the batteries that come with the pgu are for testing only. Get some new batteries and test the leds again

The mechanical detail on this kit is absolutely insane! Mine's arriving in march so this wait is going to be rough, really excited though.

you would think this kit being a "special" PG would have water slides

Happy New Year! I was just at my local Hobbytown USA and they have two in stock for $295. I was sooo tempted but passed. I might go back for it this weekend. Hopefully they still have it. Be safe and keep doing more awesome videos!

Been looking forward to this after watching the live build. Thanks!

Man, I do love the proportions. Changes are especially noticable in the upper region with the smaller shoulders and larger head, it really breaks the status quo for modern gundam designs, almost being the complete opposite of it. Bulkier forelegs too

AWESOME! nice review Zack! Keep the awesomeness also next year! Be safe bro.

Great video! Great kit! I'm looking forward to building it soon!

Kit of death! Happy new year, zaku!

Nice review zaku. This thing is so awesome I dont know if it should be painted. Maybe just some waterslides when they come out and a matte topcoat. Decisions, decisions 🤔

The LEDs were used perfectly in the PG Exia so this was definitely a step back but other than that the kit looks amazing.

Thanks for taking such a detailed look at the frame

Such a gorgeous kit! A shame the LEDs are a little dim in the chest/head, but the beam saber light honestly turned out easy better than I expected it to! Such an interesting idea that you couldn't pull off on a smaller scale.

I might wait to see how the missing parts situation plays out. I though the beam rifle has too much "bling" in the wrong places. I generally like to paint the upper receiver white to match the armor color on the mobile suit itself. I wish they included articulated hands, if it comes out as optional part might buy it too. I wonder if they will make a MGEX RX72 based on this.

I built the original PG in 2006 with only having 4 nogrades and 4 HGs under my belt. I took it outside of storage recently (in its box only inside a closet) and it was loose everywhere. It still looks great though and its for sure a big project.

They really popped off with pistons since the barbatos its super cool to see them in this kit too

For older kits, I found coloring the sole protrusions with a metal bronze sharpie makes them look more epic. I also learned that you can tighten joints using superglue; you can always make adjustments by sanding down the glue after it dries.

Wow, this looks amazing. This is way better than the original perfect grade. I know the original perfect grade was the first Gunpla, but I am glad they put the yellow LED lights instead of green.

Thank goodness this is retail and not P-Bandai. I definitely want to purchase this kit, ever since I saw the promotional videos. Thank you for the review, really appreciate it.

I wonder if for the backpack light; chrome plating the guiding clear parts would make a significant difference. Of course masking where the light enters and exits. Would be great to hear if anyone has tried this!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ZACH AND EVERYONE, greets from Austria :)

My opinion on fully articulated hands is that I probably won't use it, but I must have it.

its seems like a test bed for upcoming other PG...so many hit or miss gimicks here like the LEDs....

Just got mine today! 5 months on pre order for the remanufacture and I finally got it 😊

Some of the metallic decals as per the instructions to be used in mid build just to find out that you actually need them out on the armor pieces. Specifically #5 (little red circle decal) and the #17 (red triangular decal which I can no longer remember where i stick it to, that’s why I just need to improvise). Nevertheless, pretty solid kit. It’s like a 1/60 RG kit 😊

happy new year zakuaurelius

Happy new year mate, great review there, just wanted to say that the spinning stand you film with seems to shake quite alot and is really noticeable on other reviews also, just an observation there. Cool

Great review. I hope we get more PG soon ,Bandai should ramp up their production there, Id love a PG Double Zeta, 2021 would be perfect for a PG RX 105 Xi Gundam and weve been in neew of a PG Nu Gundam for some time as surely everyone cant get the metal build.

Can't wait to see the inevitable GM conversion someone is gonna do, I would jump if someone did that

Looking to get this as my first PG!

BROOOO i’m so hyped for this build. Lookin’ at the frame i just hope i have enough metallic paints lol. Also, are ya gonna be doin’ a PG grandad comparison? I know the OG is an old boi, but i’d think it’s still worth a look

Amazing build! And might I say that Sayla is looking fantastic in that little 1/60th figure

What a great review to end the year off! I was very curious about this kit, and I absolutely love the proportions and detail. Looks really fun to build, and I was so pleased to see that the feeties were not clown shoes this time! Thanks for the great review as always!

What a beautiful model kit. I love how bandai improved so much since the first pg

I'm super excited for this kit. I even got my hands on the clear set from p-bandai. Hopefully I have all the parts. How do you get a replacement part?

Calling head vulcans verniers now, eh? Someone’s excited

If Bandai makes a custom set for the kit, I would hope for it to have two bazookas, Gundam hammer, the spear thing, (I don’t even know if that weapon has a name) action base, and fully articulated fingers oh and some water slide details. Now if all that was in one box I think it might be for like around 100 bucks but I think it would be worth it.

Watching this has convinced me even more. This is my next PG.

Thanks for the review, it make me buy the model. I found water decals 1/60 dedicated to this kit on AliExp, I think they may be better that regular stickers. I hope you will make some video when you’ll paint it. Ciao from Italy

I’d love to hangout with you and learn from you dude. Your work is incredible!

Lighting stuff aside, at least for me it’s disappointing they didn’t make 3 of its other weapons: the hyper bazooka, gundam hammer, and beam javalin.

I need a PG RX-93 Nu Gundam to come out!

i love that the landing gear fold up instead of having to be pulled out and stored.

i hope we get a pg zaku 2 with that kind of engineering

beautiful kit! quite surprised at no water slide decals. also would be cool if it came with a dedicated stand

Its so sad that we don’t have an articulated finger on this kit. Maybe due to the chroming.

Excellent, clear, complete and honest review, thank you. Did you eventually went on painting it completely or not? I'm on my way to do it, already primed much of the 2d layer of the inner frame. I don't like the original red used on it, and really dislike the blue, too toyish to me. I will try to paint it with the colors it wears in Cucuruz Doan's island OVA, with a lighter blue, a deeper wine red, and give whites and greys a good, deep preshading. Already acquired 3rd party good quality true water decals too, to replace the eyesoring stickers that come with the kit, which are a shame IMO for such a beautiful model.

Happy New Years!!! 🔥

La beast music in the background lol made me smile

Im dreading the thought of painting mine just watching this

Within the canon, sliding armor like you were expecting on the thighs wasn't developed until the Gundam Mk II, that's what made the Mk.II faster and more agile.

I'll wait on a later release of PG Unleashed to grab one. This seems to parallel early RG, where Bandai is flexing a bunch of new tech and seeing what sticks. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great kit but I'm sure Bandai will improve upon it.

Can the backpack be lit up from the other beam saber as well? If so, it's rather disappointing that they only give you the one. If they're charging this much for it, you'd think they could afford to throw in an extra LED beam saber... and waterslides. (And yeah I know that's a simplified take on the economics of it and all that, but whatever, I don't care, they should include two LED beam sabers and waterslides.)

So glad i came an watched this i seen adam savages video an they clarly give him a specialy made kit that was of higher quailty, was thinking of pickin 1 up to give it ago im a massive gundam fan but never realized they did kits

The kit is beautiful and spectacular bur thevlight situation is damn near a failure. It seems like it would make sense to make a specialized beam saber handle that acts as a key to keep the lights on for as long as u like( batteries in the backpack, both for easy change and simple logic) awsome vid man

100% i bet you there will be a gundam wing zero, unicorn, banshee, unicorn, and red comet zaku 2 designed like this in the future, o and probably a tallgeese as well

Beam Rifle camera articulated for corner peek shootout assessments! 😉

This looks so amazing!!!!! I’d love to get one, but seriously doubt I could ever afford it

This kit looks magnificent!!

i noticed you put the red decal on the right upper thigh in the manual it shows that goes on the left inner thigh just saying idk if you put in on the right on purpose on not.

very cool! one day ill pony up and get a PG kit. also, "as well too" lol linguistic redundancy

I got the my barbatos for Xmas and I'm not gonna lie it wasn't one of my most favorite builds, in a few parts it felt like some parts never fit correctly, like the backpack never closes flushly

Do you know where to buy a whole runner? Mine came without the X2 runner which has the joints for waist and shield.

Honestly this kit looks amazing 😭😱🔥

I'm looking forward to the rollout colour custom video

where do you get replacements for missing parts?

I have a tip for you on how you can improve the LEDs in this kit. the light from the LEDs are channeled through a clear part, this is called light piping. light piping basically works the same way as fiber optic cables. you have a light on one end and it goes through the clear part and the light comes out the other end. the problem with the clear parts on this kit is they aren't covered by anything to prevent the light from bleeding through the sides, as a result not much light actually reaches the end. easy way to fix this is to cover the clear parts in black tape like electrical tape or to paint the clear parts with the blackest black paint you have and leave only the spots where the light enters and exits the clear part exposed.

How do you get replacement parts? I'm missing a part for an MG Master Gundam.

Hello Is there any gluing required for this kit or all snap on from start to finish? Thanks.

The best PG is the Wing Gundam Zero, super detailed and Mark II was great too. I was a little disappointed with this one, I expected a little more.

Can I get the link to this music, Zaku? It's like the best thing in the background tbh

I actually like the setup with the neutral lights a little more than the bright lights

How do you go about getting replacement parts if it is missing

Bro can you make a review of RG CG XN RAISER and how it to combine to the RG 00 raiser.

I love the model how much does it cost the one in the video ? Thanks for your help it’s so cool

Hmm, I think I'll buy this as my first RX-78

They should have gone with the IR remote controller for the LED, like Billion Spark did for their 1/35 Sinanju bust

Merry new beer 🍺

I'm missing something as well but its not this kit it's the RG Nu. It's never happened to me before idk if I USAGS can get it replaced or if I gotta buy a new kit. Hopefully the former.

where can I get that motorized turntable? amazed it can take such a big kit.

Lmao the la beast music mid video 🤣🤣🤣

a battle scared version of this would look dope

has anyone tried diy electro plating a gunpla kit or using something like a rubber spray on the joints like flex seal?

Bet the verniers would light up better if Bandai gave us two LED sabers like they should have.

Gosh... this inner frame looks so much like Lego to me. A very different type of inner frame on this kit plus I get a bit of a feeling of the various Master Grade Musha kits.

The RG-style premolded joints always came out feeling tight upon initial assembly, they just loosened up very quickly afterwards. I'm less worried how stable it is now and more worried how stable it'll be in, say, a month or two.

the cockpit hatch is supposed to be pushed back not lifted open(you'll eventually break it if you keep doing that)

Yeah I don’t think a lot of people were really asking for it. If you took a poll ahead of this announcement for “what do you want the next PG to be?” I doubt this would have been in the top ten. That said, that doesn’t mean it can’t be a great and exciting kit to build. So what’s yur point?

What action base can you use for this? Was there an action base adapter?

Where do u go to buy replacement parts?

Okay bandai now you've shown us this, unleash the PG Red Comet Zaku

Maybe you did something wrong on the backpack or the camera doesn't do it justice? Cause on mine it's actually pretty bright through the verniers? And what's weird my led beam saber handle is actually a tight fit, the ones I built off the runner are loose. But yeah mine is actually really bright

hi, just want to check hows the kit? did you get the replacement parts? hopefully no broken parts? a different youtuber said some of the parts brokeb off due to gravity

23:32 I just noticed that the BGM is one of LA Beast's themes in his vids.

which one is better, exia lighting version or this?

i would paint all the black part to become shiny but im not paint the pre painted bec its cool

Got the clear parts set but not the RX78 kit yet.
