A review of the Master Grade God (Burning) Gundam from the anime series G Gundam.
Think I'm officially done with G Gundam kits now lol... At least until I redo the Shining Gundam review...
-- Production Notes for L8r Reference --
- This video is technically a reupload of a previous review. However, I had to take it down and swap out the music, so I decided to make some updates. Below are the notes for the original version, followed by the notes for this updated version.
- I really feel like this review is the culmination of everything I've learned. There's no real glaring flaws. Sort of me operating at the best of my current skill. Really proud of this toy review lol
- I really like the new photoshopped title cards that I started in the Patlabor review. So much fun to mess around in Photoshop and try and just try to make something that looks cool. This one might have a a little too much going on tho lol. It's Hong Kong with a sun set on top, then blended. It looks cool as a big image, but scrunched down for the thumbnail, it's a little too busy.
- This review took forever to make. Not even really sure why. Just every part of the process seemed like it took longer than before. Still, I learned a lot, so I'm happy with it.
- The filming of this took 3 days, mainly because I kept procrastinating. I'd film 10 shots, then just quit for the night lol. Not sure why, but that may be why this took so long to make.
- For some reason, when I slapped on the color filter, it made my hand in the articulation section look super tan lol Trust me, I'm much whiter than that lol Maybe it's a sign I need to step off the color editing...
- I really need to update the intro. I like the concept, but the pictures are really grainy and low quality, not to mention they aren't all white balanced and exposed properly lol. Add on that color filter, and it just looks really bad. Hopefully I can get around to making a new intro by the next review.
- Speaking of next review, I'm kind of a clean slate here... I really am out of kits to review. Usually I just take a kit from off my shelf, but I'm all out now lol. I mean, I do have other kits, but I they're ineligible for review. Like my Double X which has a broken wing binder, or my Nu Gundam which has it's fin funnels glued together, or my Gouf which is completely repainted. So I'm going to have to buy what ever kit I review next, and seeing as how my job is currently on the off season, means it'll have to be real cheap lol. We'll see.
- I changed the title to G Gundam instead of spelling out the name. Hopefully to prevent KZfaq from marking it controversial. I'm probably over thinking it, but eh~ Never know with this mess of a site. Going on 4 months of losing monetization now lol. They literally took it away, told me to get more subs, then when I hit their new criteria they say they are behind in reviewing applications and to wait a few extra months. Why am I even on this website again?
Here are the notes for this updated version:
- New music of course, but think I mixed it a little too low. This new music is a bit 'fuller' so it can overlap with my audio much easier, so trying to find the level for it is rough. Great song though, just need to break it in.
- Re-EQ'd the audio.
- Cut a 2-3 second section in the articulation cause it was mildly in-accurate. I mean, I was right, but was tired of getting comments about it, so whatever~ lol
- New title card. It's based on the old, but updated with my improved Photoshop skills
- Sped up ending tally monologue
- Updated font
- Kept the original color filter, cause this was the video where I started to know what I was doing. I mean I still don't, but like, it's close enough to my current know-how lol
Anyway, that's all I've got. Here's a song something to make up for all that reading you just did lol • ＡＬＬＩＮＥＥＤ / 彩恵津子

Got this one because I just love G Gundam. Now I got it arms crossed on my shelf along the MG RX-78 Origin. It is amazing how firmly it just stands there. Great review, really liked the instructions on how to paint the kit. While the RX-78 was more fun and easier to assemble overall, painting the God Gundam was a really enjoyable experience

@CatOnTheCouch 7 ай бұрын

Now looking back at this kit, is just simply amazing. The “Action frame” it is using was the very first iteration of the full body inner frame, it laid a very solid foundation and paved the way for what we have today. There is also an extra gimmick for this and MG Shinning, the SD version(2002 version) of those suits come with extra pose hands that are compatible with the MG kits. Such little detail added a lot of flavour for those kits, that’s one thing I like about those older kits.

Nice vid, dude :3 I think I'm going to pick up this kit by tommorow, is it ok if I buy a black Gundam marker so I can add paint to the black trims on the shoulders, feet and front skirts?

@redheadphones6 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks! That's what I did, I used a Gundam marker for everything. They're just so convenient. You'll have no problem doing the bulk of that trim with a marker. I will say for the shoulders, paint the trim BEFORE you snap them together, because the ink tends to run down the seam line once they're put together. Best of luck!

This will be my first gunpla when it arrives along with a basic tool kit. I watched a good amount of the 2nd half of G gundam as a kid so I had a nostalgic soft spot when choosing this one. Does it matter if I don't care about adding marker and detail first time around?

You can buy a pour type gundam marker. Not the best out there, but if you’re a beginner it makes detailing easier.

@jegtano7079 4 жыл бұрын

Also, since this gundam and several gundam from the same era have less part separation compared to newer MGs, not panel lining the kits would make them a little bland. Specially the face area, without lining you wouldn’t see the vents on the mouth area.

There's sort of a middle ground. Too tight and the joints become very hard to move and the plastic will bend and crack. I'd recommend going loose, bending it a little, then tightening a little more until you're happy with it. Best of luck!

@UC1180_ 4 жыл бұрын

I think your scoring needs some adjusting. I have noticed that you tend to hold older kits to newer ones when we know that the technology wasn’t as it is now. Also I may add that God Gundam is probably one of the best looking kits at its time so your appearance score is hogwash. Easily a 4-5.

@redheadphones6 4 жыл бұрын

Aside from this review being my opinion, you cannot judge a kit solely based on the time it came out. If that was the case, we would be recommending 1995's MG RX-78-2 to beginners because it was 'better than the 1980 kit' that came before. Everyone's standards for what makes a good kit is different, but for me, it's based upon how difficult it is to get a kit looking like it does in the anime. From that perspective, the legs of this God Gundam are still scrawny. This was even addressed in the Hi-Res kit, where the legs were beefed up. Not to mention the extra black painting (with no channels) is needed.

@UC1180_ 4 жыл бұрын

RedHeadphones6 yeah you actually can because obviously people who are just being introduced to Gunpla, they are going to be going for the newer kits because they have the newer technology. And comparing them to oh I don’t know Master Grade Barbatos or Double Zeta Ver Ka completely alienates older kits like God Gundam, Master Gundam, Shining Gundam, Gundam Spiegel, RX-79[G], EZ8, Dom, and Zaku 1, which are all still great kits for the time that they are built that don’t have 2.0 or Ver. Ka kits. So no you shouldn’t be comparing them. If you are going to review kits you have to hold them to the standard at the time and whether you would buy them. The thin you go on about is the work to get them accurate to the anime is part of the fun of building the kits. If builders were that concerned about the work we’d just buy the MSIA toys or spend the bucks on the Hi-Res kits which are glorified action figures that you just add the armor on.

@Baddest_of_Men 4 жыл бұрын

My main gripe with the G Gundam kits were the fact that the legs were so limited at the waist. I bought the MG Master and God Gundam at the same time solely so that I could do their iconic pose together, which I then found out they couldn't do. Disappointing, to say the least.
