Nu Gundam head height: 22.0 m Unicorn Gundam: 21.7 m (Destroy Mode) Thanks gundam wiki!

Best RG to date imo. Honestly one of my favorite kits period.

The newer RG kits are best explained in sentence: They have the plastic quality of a PG and the detail and build of A MG.

Panel lining this kit goes a long way, he has so much detail in his plates. Definitely one of my top favorites

So you’d say this Nu Gundam model isn’t just for show?

I'm guessing the reason the Action Base adapter plugs in onto the backpack as opposed to the crotch is that the Fin Funnels might make it top heavy thus will have a bit of a balancing issue and the crotch mounted adapter might not be able to hold the weight.

I have been waiting for this review for so long . Great way to start the week . Thanks zaku

I waited so fricking long for a review from you specifically. Thank god

Love starting the morning with a new Gundam review.

Man now I hope they release a Hi-Nu Gundam RG because I definitely prefer it over the Nu Gundam

WOOT!!! Been waiting a long time for your review Zach!

I'm so glad RG Nu Gundam was finally released! It looks really cool alongside RG Sazabi and Unicorn!

I soooo need one of these! Great review as always!

Love seeing these reviews

Just got this one. Can't wait to start building it

So strange... the Nu Gundam is a suit I never had any specific attachment to, but seeing it posed on that stand toward the end of the video gave me such a CRAZY nostalgia trip for the two years I spent in Queens... that's when I got back into building Gunpla after a very long hiatus. Just tonight I was trying to work on a custom and my efforts felt clumsy. I was frustrated. But seeing this makes me think back to when I first visited Gundam Planet in 2015...

I still love my MG Ver ka but it must be nice being able to move it.

I know some people don't like the head but I think it looks fine, definitely out-shadowed by how great the kit is as a whole.

I already knew this review was gonna be good given that all the other reviews of this kit are glowing, maybe best kit of the year.

"I had It all stickered up for a change" hmmm so that's why it took so long

When I get my hands on this guy I’m going to set it up with the two sets of three funnels I personally prefer that look and I think it eliminates the curling effect... at least until I can have them on display flying around

The 2 middle funnels are supposed to be a little higher than the two closer to the backpack Edit: Oh, you fixed them later in the video

The line art of the Nu Gundam also has a curl for the fin funnels

totally agree with the hands..i hate the fingers falling off especially the perfect grade ones

I got the ver ka, but I changed it up so much that I think getting this rg is finally justified. this shall be my next gunpla 😁 thanks for the review

Now I want a waterslide Decals of this Gundam, I'm excited to get my PO of this badboy and paint it!

Thanks for the review Zack. Now the decision is easier. 😊

I need a RG shelf now

Gundam MK II and Nu Gundam is my favorite model ever!

Most excellent review this is a jaw dropping model

It's a rare thing to see zach applied the decals in his review

This kit looks Amazing!!! I need to get it 😀

so happy mine finally comes in tomorro

This kit will definitely go well with my RG sazabi

It looks great, but having a non-standard fin funnel base connectors and including no connectors for them was pretty low.

Ordered and on its way to me 🌞

I finally built this thing. Surprised that the legs got a little wobbly when the fin funnels were added, since it has a reputation as such a solid build. The torso is a little slippery too, when you try to turn it, the top half covering the hinge joint slips a bit before it finally overcomes the friction on the peg. Really makes me appreciate how the Sazabi has those giant damn feet and solid torso. The torso hinge seems kind of silly considering it makes it so much less solid and can't be used unless it's accordioned out...my MG 2.0 RX-78-2 has a much more solid torso, and that damn thing is hollow with a core fighter inside. I love how positive the hand connections are, the weapon is locked in and effectively becomes part of the hand. Building those fin funnels was a nightmare. It looks very impressive, but it kind of bums me out how the basic high grade and master grade 1.0 have such solid fin funnels, and the funnels are still kind of floppy. I'm using the shield to prop up the fins, which limits the effective range of motion when they're attached, and I had to shift the right leg forward to counterbalance the weight of the funnels. Once I did that, it's in a pretty solid standing pose. I'm not sure why they insist on such short connectors when it's clear the high grade and MG 1.0 had the fin funnel connectors down. I'm thinking of getting a stand with arms and leaving 3 connected, 3 flying. This thing can get an insanely wide stance going. It really puts those long legs to work. I wish every kit had this level of ankle articulation. The proportions of this thing are....different. It's not bad, it's a "real grade" like it says on the box, but it doesn't immediately strike me as the Nu Gundam standing on my shelf. It looks kind of like a different Gundam. I bought the Effect Wings hyper mega bazooka with the replacement faceplate, which was an improvement. I think I need to get the action base, probably from Effect Wings, to get the full enjoyment out of the kit. Standing it next to my RG Sazabi made me feel quite a sense of accomplishment, I have to say. Although the RG Sazabi is frankly a better kit, which I'm very surprised by. It's built like a tank, looks absolutely gorgeous on top of there being no doubt that it's Sazabi. The joints are also outrageously solid on the Sazabi.

I want to get this and the RG Sazabi.

i like the long face lol great RG have to get it along with the RG Sazabi.

About that leg connection to the crotch, I noticed that it common to have a stress mark on that part. Is it bad or just fine?

Open hands? I can pose it with the Sazabi's cockpit in his right hand???? YAS

Actually there was a lot enough space for store the beam in the back even with the action base conector

Will still getting it despite I don't like the design arrangement, just to complete the set with Sazabi. RG Nightingale, cmom bandai

Do you have problems with the shield? Mine while the shield was connected to the hand, it fits first and looks OK, but later it will fall off.

OOT between MG Duel Gundam and MG Age-1 Normal, which one that have better articulation?

With the insane details of the RGs coming out, I hope the MGs are even crazier.

Use a black pen for the mouth plate so it won't be pale *like mine before*

Would you suggest rg nu or rg unicorn if i can only get one? Thanks!

I love the look of this kit but it is lacking in a few aspects like lack of sliding panels on the arms and pistons in the ankles,even the MK II has that.

what action base is that you are using?

are there any stress marks on the hip joint?

I feel like the dropped hip mode is mostly for the HWS to give them more room with the huge skirts, def needed to move those in that form. Anyway it looks great

The funnels are supposed to curl like in some shots of the movie

i see stress marks on the peg legs, is that a problem?

18:00 wish you had a display for the fin funnel set?

The RG Sazabi, RG Nu Gundam and RG Crossbone Gundam are basically 1/144 MG'S. With their full inner frames instead of the normal RG style basic frame.

Just grabbed 1. Stoked. Probably miss sleep to finish tonight. Who needs a job, right?

I’m curious if the fin funnel supports from the mg work with the rg probably not but just a thought

Aren't the funnels supposed to be in groups of 2?

Is it the same size as a small MG like F90/F91?

post your try-hard double fin funnel, there arent any way to attach it left-way right ?

I ordered both RG Sazabi and Nu Gundam with a display base each and Bandai’s New funnel effect parts at the same time But the Nu! came in First? Like damn lol I wanna leave it till last after the Sazabi sadly it’s shipping wasn’t 3x faster then the others 🙃

@16:40 Nu is infamous for its long face... and no, it is not proportioned well without it... it is just the way it is whether you like it or not. @17:30 you can put a toothpick sandwich in the folded part of the fin funnel, to make them straight

If you have the MG Nu Ver.Ka you can use the base included with that with the RG (which is the exact unit included with the DFF expansion pack, with the actual base in red instead of the MG's black). That is why the RG needs an Action Base adapter; it's designed with that in mind (fin funnels included)

I have the fx parts version, and it does look GLORIOUS! However, I cannot find any shooting fx part set like the mg has... so they fly, but do not fire... do I need to scratch build my own fx by melting clear runners?! Lol

Wish they have ver 3.0 MG for it

I am a kid And I love the RG nu gundam the best kit ever

It would be really awesome if it has a psycho frame included

Through my observation, it seems like you can swap the lower left arm armor with the right one. Did anyone actually do this? Can you do it?

I wonder if you can drill a circle hole to use a regular action base. If its to big, you could use putty to fill the gap. Just an idea for somebody with action bases but can't afford the proper base set.

the nu ver ka base works with these funnels

How are its arms compared to the sazabi that kit was nice but that weak connecting peg for the shoulder broke so fast

Already had Mg ver Ka Get this after watching the review ✌

I want to get this and the sazabi but, I know the RGs are better but the ver. Ka MGs are bigger... I CANT DECIDE

And now I wait for the HWS P-Bandai version

the mg unicorn destroy mode is taller than the Mg nu so there's that. Dunno if the rg is more accurate scale wise though.

Best gunpla of 2019

Having just completed this tonight, man I gotta say the Fin Funnels almost completely ruined the enjoyment of the kit, no matter what I did they would just fall apart even after making sure that they clicked into place. Eventually just decided to cement them together, I was never going to display them any other way from the start.

Only thing that makes me hesitate on buying this kit was the lack of green Psycho Frames, show accurate or not I want that MG ver.ka gimmick oh well time to get a metallic green paint to come with this kit

i'm still waiting for RG G-Self and RG Turn A

zak should do another Q&A

Hey, ZakuAurelius, with the articulation level being this high, do you think they are going to head in the direction of the G Gundam franchise eventually? I personally would love to see a RG God/Burning Gundam, a Shining Gundam, or a Master Gundam eventually.

can you make comparison narrative gundam and nu gundam rg?

Might have to get this since I never got the MG :o

That's the same connector shape as the MG Nu's fin funnels - is it the same size?

I recognize that 0 Gundam pose at 18:45

It’s like a mix between RX-78-2 and the RX-0

Thanks for 1st place in begginers mode from 2nd competition of Aces de Zeon!

The question now is: will they release the HWS as an add-on kit like the Skygrasper was to the Aile Strike, or, will it be a complete Nu Gundam HWS kit? P-Bandai or standard release? Any thoughts?

I'm planning to get a couple of rg, one for me and one for my kid. I've been out of the circulation, so how do you rank this One the rest of the rg?

This is a Nu level. Very nice.

How big is it in cm?

Wow, not even any seam lines on the weapons?

So umm which one better mg ver ka or rg ?

I just got the MG Ver.Ka. how is it different from the RG?

The funnels are quite heavy, mine can't stand straight with both funnels and shield equipped. Also the way Bandai put the attachment for the shield in the back of right hand is kinda odd. "As for the funnels, hey we got you, premium bandai for double fin funnels is available!" T____T

Is everything undergated like the sazabi?

Una consulta cuánto mide este gundam? Saludos

The only thing that is better in this kit compared to the ver ka is this cutie can kneel. On the looks department though. There is no menace in this rg. The Ver ka , just standing on my shelf , will make this cutie thingy a six day old puppy standing next to a lion.

Does it have water decals?
