Start painting complex stuff. It's sure to last you a month and you'll appreciate a kit that much more. Not to mention that it's going to turn a model kit into what it's supposed to be, not a quick snap toy.
I still can't accept this fact, it was kinda to sad for me, cause when i was young i was lovin 1986 "Short circuit", where was cool designed Johnny 5th. from this day i was in love with robots...
The master grade turn X is the most interesting kit I've ever built. Aside from that I've done the Ball, an ERG (Red frame), and IBO high grade. My still favorite build has to be the graze in the IBO line though, it's just so... Unique
and awesome to have 10 of to make it a little army i have a full diorama with anime accuracy its so cool and an awesome looking millitary grunt suit and so customizable i have one that has 4 arms and longer legs with widened torso and it looks like a monster its scary to look at
@@thedandy6765 not to mention that Graze has decent variants. They definitely earned their title as the IBO version of the Zaku. Schualve Grace is my favourite.
I'm a gunpla builder that didn't build any for the past 6 months. And... I got 13 backlogs of gunpla, so yeah, I'll try your recommendation. Thank for sharing :)
The Turn X was my first MG I completed and the first Model Kit I panel lined. It is one of my favorite suits and is definitely in my top 5 Mobile Suits list on design and Concept (pun intended) alone.
that's part of the fun of SDs, not a single kit is finished OOB. I'd reccomend using the sticker sheets that come with em as a guide for hand painting them.
@@Jacqthepossposs That's not totally true, some of the better Legends kits really didn't need much work beyond lining For most SD lines you aren't wrong though
"Airly" real grade. Took me 2 minutes to figure out what he was saying, and I watch Mecha's stuff regularly. Really channeling the Irish in today's video.
@@kylemagz sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. What did you find the hardest? Pick a color scheme? Did you struggle to apply the paint itself? Some other issue ? Cheers!
the Moon Gundam, for an HG the thing has no stickers at all plus the eyes and camera sensors are separate pieces too! and the build level is almost RG-like.
You're not just a reviewer, you also understand the lifestyle! Kudos to youu. Not many of em did this except Kakarot as far as i kno. Keep doing content like this!!
Never get bored with a gunpla. There are ton more to do on the details like seamless, waterslide, spray paint, add panel lines, & custom builds. The more deeper you get the more time you gonna spent on them. Even sanding down water marks and seamless take 6+ hours on a hg.
When the standard HG, MG, or even the RE/100 kits become boring, I pick up an old school pre-HG/MG kit. Once you've finished an old school kit in which gluing, sanding, and painting is required (and sometimes also comes with a bonus of having terrible parts fit), coming back to modern day HG/MG kits is an absolute joy. :)
To you the guy I watch the most of if you feel like you done it all, build a clear (expo) or a exclusive coat of some sort it just finished my first p-bandai (ploypod) and the g-self hg expo clear version is the crown centerpiece of my collection right now. out of everybody I know you deserve it the most to experience something like exclusive limited-edition build. Enjoy the holiday season 😎
The Earthtree deserves an award for being on the most Mecha Gaikotsu Top 10 lists. I don't think I've ever seen any other kit make so many repeat appearances- Not that I'm complaining, I love the Core Gundam.
I have to say, my first kit was a HGEW Wing Zero Custom. It was cool but the quality didn't feel great. Tried building the MG Gundam Dark Matter Exia and that thing is a hand grenade. 2 bad kits but I wanted a good freaking kit so I tried the RG Sinanju... bad kits... then I built the Gun EZ and the HGBD Knight Gundam. I've built many more kits since then and I love it. Gaikotsu here is where I go before buying a new kit. Great stuff!
Seeing this video and you recommending the IBO High Grades really brings memories back to my first actual High Grade kit, and well first gunpla kit in general which was the Barbatos Lupus High Grade. Definitely made some mistakes like not noticing I was putting things on in reverse with the waist armor, but man was it a fun build for my first time round. One of my favorite kits that I put together, which is saying a whole lot for someone who hasn't put many gunpla kits together.
See also the 30-Minute Missions line! A lot of unique stuff there, fully customizable, and pretty inexpensive. That is, unless you just want to buy all of the options...
I actually got G-40 clear variant as my second ever kit the other day and put it together last night. I really enjoyed putting it together. I had no idea that it was one of the more articulated kits...I just liked the clear look to it!! 😁😁
A lot of the kits released for the Zeta movies are really fun, the transforming ones especially. The Asshimar, Methuss, Gabthley and Gaza C are all incredibly unique. There's nothing quite like them, and they have perfect/near perfect transformations to boot.
Dude i know right i did not expect the team losing and that lead to some serious consequences its something you only see in line UC i cant wait for the next episode
I know you mentioned all of the IBO kits but the HG Gundam Vidar deserves special shout out imo that kit not only has an inner frame but Master grade level gimmicks. The amount of fun stuff that kit can do is absolutely insane especially for a HG.
Thank you for this so incredibly interesting video! I'm so proud to have different Gunpla of your list in my collection: the HG of Iron-Blooded Orphans line, the RG Double 0 Raiser, and to have some of them in my personal Wishlist (some of them are some kind of mirage...for example thinking about the PG Exia). The only model kit that I want to suggest and add to your list is the RG Nu Gundam because it's really astonishing for his structure, posability, and for his built. I loved to build it from the beginning just to the end, I really enjoyed every minute I spent on the Nu Gundam. Thanks again, you always make interesting videos, in which I can feel how much passion you have for the Gunpla world. I take the chance to wish you and everyone of your incredible community, Merry Christmas: your video it's a unique gift! Compliments, Merry Christmas and see you next time!
Need another vid like this. Here are my 5 alternative recommendations: 5. RG#13 Zephyrantes Full Burnern How would you like to build probably the most unstable RG with a pre-mold inner frame and the tiniest thruster parts in all of gunpla? I’m not joking, but I also have to give it up to Bandai for making a very intricate mobile suit model with lots of tiny gimmicks. It’s a challenge, it splits in half when you move a limb and the stickers peel. There’s no upside, this is purely to appreciate how much better RG is now. 4. MG God Gundam/Master Gundam These screw kits are over twenty years old but the full inner frame articulation, for their time, was mindblowing. Screws, rubber parts, missing color separation and included figures make for a fun experience that has you appreciate how far gunpla has come! They’re actually decent kits, don’t be fooled. 3. HG Kshatriya Because we’re never getting an official MG. It’s a fun kit though, it’s just such a massive HG with some genuinely good design and a fun build. It’s good training for you painting detail, because the stickers are terrible, but at least they’re raised areas. 2. MG RX-78-2 2.0 aka the anime accurate OG Gundam How vanilla, right? Actually this kit is an often overlooked one by newcomers, mainly due to its deceptively plain exterior, but this is actually the point of it, it’s meant to look like it does in the show (minus the odd proportions) and comes with the silly gundam hammer and beam javelin, along with a bunch of stuff. It’s a genuinely great kit and build (generally most of the 2.0 kits are worth trying out). 1. PG RX-178 Mk-II Gundam This is a hard kit to assemble, you need to strip wires, figure out which length of metal chain goes where (and what end and the facing..!), the polycaps can be turned the wrong way, it’s a screw-kit that needs you to tighten the ankles exactly right or it’ll fall over (or you’ll strip the plastic) and the exterior is quite plain, almost like a Mega Size kit. So why recommend it? Because when I built the recent PGU, I was absolutely bored with it. It’s too easy to build, it all goes together easily and is a flawless and painless experience. You have to EARN getting the Mk-II done, but it looks absolutely menacing and makes the PGU look like a twerp next to it. It has 739 parts, it has a very intricate inner frame, tons of hatches/gimmicks, a decent loadout, a simple on/off light (no extra LED required and no jerking the hatch to switch modes like the PGU) and it feels like Bandai put actual love and dedication into designing it, like they were exploring the limits of what they could do. The joy of this kit really is the challenge and feeling of satisfaction that you won’t quite get with modern gunpla. Also the ankles have suspension springs. Because why not.
My favorite unique build is the MG Z'Gok. It's not challenging at all but it's totally different from anything else I've built. Even the two different versions (red/blue) are slightly different from each other (I've built both). Just a very laid-back build and I recommend it to anyone.
If you liked the MG Ball, I also would Highly recommend the MG Acguy and the MG Gyan. They both give off a lot of the same vibes, and are quite interesting. The MG Guntank is also completely unlike anything else you will ever build.
@@megatron8490 lmao im getting rg sazabi and rg full armour unicorn. I live in australia so the shipping cost is like 40 bucks or eighty for a kit that is 20. tbh for me its cheaper overall and quicker to get it off amazon. Have you got the rg nu gundam?
I found the HG Guntank Early Type from the Origin line to be pretty unique. The molded in detail is great and its got way more articulation to it than one would expect. It definitely keeps away that second leg sadness syndrome too.
I know that this is primarily a Gundam channel, but I can't praise the Super Minipla kits enough. Small size but tons of poseability, various kit interactions, and the ability to get good quality versions of figures from the past from properties like Power Rangers /Super Sentai, and right now I'm working on a Voltron kit.
I feel like no one ever talks about the Acguy MG. Its a super solid kit with a multilayered internal skeleton, complex limb expansion and spring loaded claw gimmicks, and probably the best articulation its design could ever hope to achieve.
I only have 3 GunPla kits to my name but the latest, that being the Real Grade Sazabi, was really fun to put together (inner shoulder joints notwithstanding) and the size and dynamic shape of the figure is impressive all on its own.
@@thedandy6765 I already built some MGs (God Gundam; Crossbone Gundam X1 Ver.ka) and RGs (Astray Red Frame, Wing Gundam Zero Custom). I'm pretty sure Mecha has a Megasize Unicorn review on this channel.
Nah I think it’s more like this: RX-78: Son, when are you going to grow out of this “mercenary” phase? Earthree: IT’S NOT A PHASE! SCREW YOU DAD YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND! RX-78: Oh, that’s it! You are grounded young man! Get in the box! Earthree: YOU KICKED ME? YOU REALLY THINK THAT I’M AN IDIOT CHILD THAT DOESN’T KNOW ANY BETTER? RX-78: It’s called discipline, you are acting exactly like my pilot in the old days. I’m going knock some sense into you! Earthree: YOU KICKED ME AGAIN! NOT EVEN MOM KICKED ME BEFORE!
The old MG from Gundam G is actually a Surreal experience. First of, it has screws, lot of screws. Second, it does not have policaps. But rubber parts. Ruber parts for arms, the sole of the feet to promote stability and fir side skirts. And it litteraly has a large figure of the pilot intead of the typical mini standing pilot load out. I mean, a pilot figure that is 3 2 to 3 inches tall? Its not the nest build experience, sure. But experiencing the old techniques of bandai design as i said is just a surreal experience that will make you marvel the simple engineering of the past and appreciate the greatness of the modern gunplad today.
I remember getting a LEGO form of SLS on the sets I built because of symmetry purposes, but now with gunpla I tend to just build both legs at the same time
i feel like your recommendation for older kits are mainly suited just for those that just started getting into this hobby. for those that has been around the entire time started with the first MG RX78, we all know what older kits are like. As you mentioned the EZ-8, it was a very advanced kit when it came out and was massively popular that spawned several camo printed version and special editions.
i literally bought all of the planet system, including the alus, g3 core 2, anima rise, re rising gundam and the limited core gundams and weapons, and i live it on shelf
I’m mixing it up by building and painting warhammer minis and to make a long story short I’ve already got 2500 points of seraphon, 40 deathwatch models for killteam and now I’m building a 2k Tyranid list
While not unique the Gundam Age was mind blowing at the time. Probably because of its lackluster show I feel that that kit is underrated. Its engineering holds up to this day.

Actually this kit is an often overlooked one by newcomers, mainly due to its deceptively plain exterior, but this is actually the point of it, it’s meant to look like it does in the show (minus the odd proportions) and comes with the silly gundam hammer and beam javelin, along with a bunch of stuff.
It’s a genuinely great kit and build (generally most of the 2.0 kits are worth trying out).
1. PG RX-178 Mk-II Gundam
This is a hard kit to assemble, you need to strip wires, figure out which length of metal chain goes where (and what end and the facing..!), the polycaps can be turned the wrong way, it’s a screw-kit that needs you to tighten the ankles exactly right or it’ll fall over (or you’ll strip the plastic) and the exterior is quite plain, almost like a Mega Size kit.
So why recommend it? Because when I built the recent PGU, I was absolutely bored with it. It’s too easy to build, it all goes together easily and is a flawless and painless experience.
You have to EARN getting the Mk-II done, but it looks absolutely menacing and makes the PGU look like a twerp next to it.
It has 739 parts, it has a very intricate inner frame, tons of hatches/gimmicks, a decent loadout, a simple on/off light (no extra LED required and no jerking the hatch to switch modes like the PGU) and it feels like Bandai put actual love and dedication into designing it, like they were exploring the limits of what they could do.
The joy of this kit really is the challenge and feeling of satisfaction that you won’t quite get with modern gunpla.
Also the ankles have suspension springs. Because why not.
Agree. The mobile pod ball is really good one.
Mecha gaikotsu: Introduces the problem with clips of the planet gundams
Also mecha gaikotsu: Puts earthree in 3rd place
Deep Striker for the win loved that build
My favorite unique build is the MG Z'Gok. It's not challenging at all but it's totally different from anything else I've built. Even the two different versions (red/blue) are slightly different from each other (I've built both). Just a very laid-back build and I recommend it to anyone.
I LOVE ibo hg too. Cant wait for more!
about that...
Im a beginner in this for a gumpla, and i loved when build the marsfour and veetwo unit, its really cool
I have 1 yellow Alto and two Portanovas (green and grey), and they’re AWESOME! Buy these if you have the chance, they’re really good!
Anyone else get hyped when they heard the OO and IBO openings?
Ye
If you liked the MG Ball, I also would Highly recommend the MG Acguy and the MG Gyan. They both give off a lot of the same vibes, and are quite interesting.
The MG Guntank is also completely unlike anything else you will ever build.
My very first Gunpla kit was the RG Zeong. I don't regret it and love the shit out of the Zeong. My favorite mobile suit.
Im just getting into gundam and i was wandering where to start watching gundam, and where i can get cheap Gunpla
Hobby link japan has the gunpla at their “cheapest”. The actual kit is cheap. Buuuttt you need to pay tax and shipping. Which aren’t cheap.
@@jacksonstandley555 lol ive built like 20 gunpla now and my mom got my rg sazabi from hlj. It cost ed like 40 for the shipping
@@megatron8490 lmao im getting rg sazabi and rg full armour unicorn. I live in australia so the shipping cost is like 40 bucks or eighty for a kit that is 20. tbh for me its cheaper overall and quicker to get it off amazon.
Have you got the rg nu gundam?
@@jacksonstandley555 yes. I got both for may birthday. They are both the best rg kits ive ever built
@@megatron8490 yes tho, do you have discord?
I found the HG Guntank Early Type from the Origin line to be pretty unique. The molded in detail is great and its got way more articulation to it than one would expect. It definitely keeps away that second leg sadness syndrome too.
That Marsfour is adorable, definitely getting one
3:02 "if you're wondering about that review~ Maybe"
i don't know why but that got a chuckle out of me
Master Grade will always be my all time favorite. Love everything about all of them.
The Tequila Gundam must be made into a High Grade so i can display it with mace maracas (yes I’m Mexican)
indeed, a perfect match. And we need all of those G Gundam kits being made to HGFCs.
I’m gonna recreate cinco de Mayo if it happens! And if they restock the option sets as well
I know that this is primarily a Gundam channel, but I can't praise the Super Minipla kits enough. Small size but tons of poseability, various kit interactions, and the ability to get good quality versions of figures from the past from properties like Power Rangers /Super Sentai, and right now I'm working on a Voltron kit.
I feel like no one ever talks about the Acguy MG. Its a super solid kit with a multilayered internal skeleton, complex limb expansion and spring loaded claw gimmicks, and probably the best articulation its design could ever hope to achieve.
Now if they would just sell specialist packs to make the different guys from Bandit Flower they could sell the hell out of them!!!
As usual. Smooth transition to ads👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🥺🥺 most smooth of them all
I only have 3 GunPla kits to my name but the latest, that being the Real Grade Sazabi, was really fun to put together (inner shoulder joints notwithstanding) and the size and dynamic shape of the figure is impressive all on its own.
I usually avoid "Second Leg Sadness" by just building the legs at the same time and keeping their parts separated.
Good idea. Saves time since they are practically the same just reversed
Mecha's promotion of Raid is like the game itself. Its on a next level
Pefectly Recommendable this Quarantine Era
I haven't watched one of your videos for a while, I should start watching and getting back into gunpla again
10:10 the voice actor of the pilot is also *Bizzare*
That Turn X looks amazing.... I want it...
"fifth impact"*PTSD INTENSIFIES*
The hg ibo vidar was my first kit and I love it
So far I've mostly built HGs but I plan on building either the NG 1/60 Exia or the 1/48 Unicorn next.
go for a 1/144 RG first or a 1/100 MG before you go for those huge kits
and when you do get the unicorn and show me pls
@@thedandy6765 I already built some MGs (God Gundam; Crossbone Gundam X1 Ver.ka) and RGs (Astray Red Frame, Wing Gundam Zero Custom).
I'm pretty sure Mecha has a Megasize Unicorn review on this channel.

RX78 : IM MORE BETTER THAN YOU!!!
earthies Gundam : SCREW YOU!!!
Nah I think it’s more like this:
RX-78: Son, when are you going to grow out of this “mercenary” phase?
Earthree: IT’S NOT A PHASE! SCREW YOU DAD YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!
RX-78: Oh, that’s it! You are grounded young man! Get in the box!
Earthree: YOU KICKED ME? YOU REALLY THINK THAT I’M AN IDIOT CHILD THAT DOESN’T KNOW ANY BETTER?
RX-78: It’s called discipline, you are acting exactly like my pilot in the old days. I’m going knock some sense into you!
Earthree: YOU KICKED ME AGAIN! NOT EVEN MOM KICKED ME BEFORE!
The old MG from Gundam G is actually a Surreal experience. First of, it has screws, lot of screws. Second, it does not have policaps. But rubber parts. Ruber parts for arms, the sole of the feet to promote stability and fir side skirts. And it litteraly has a large figure of the pilot intead of the typical mini standing pilot load out. I mean, a pilot figure that is 3 2 to 3 inches tall? Its not the nest build experience, sure. But experiencing the old techniques of bandai design as i said is just a surreal experience that will make you marvel the simple engineering of the past and appreciate the greatness of the modern gunplad today.
Soon i’ll be able to work and get all the gundams i ever wanted!
I remember getting a LEGO form of SLS on the sets I built because of symmetry purposes, but now with gunpla I tend to just build both legs at the same time
Just as a note with the early Real Grade kits, some of them have expansion kits for them that replace the early frames.
It's either he'll end the year or start the new year with the review of the MG Barbatos so chill guys
i feel like your recommendation for older kits are mainly suited just for those that just started getting into this hobby. for those that has been around the entire time started with the first MG RX78, we all know what older kits are like. As you mentioned the EZ-8, it was a very advanced kit when it came out and was massively popular that spawned several camo printed version and special editions.
i literally bought all of the planet system, including the alus, g3 core 2, anima rise, re rising gundam and the limited core gundams and weapons, and i live it on shelf
I’m mixing it up by building and painting warhammer minis and to make a long story short I’ve already got 2500 points of seraphon, 40 deathwatch models for killteam and now I’m building a 2k Tyranid list
Merry Christmas, newtypes!!!!! Still waiting for that Mg Barbatos review though!!
The HG Origin Zakus (& other Zeon suits) have a full inner frame too, Bandai just doesnt tell you it does
You know what would be a fun kit the GM Juggler. But not P Bandai.
Better all the P Bandai without being a PBandai
Came from Kakarot's video didn't ya?
@@user-ir1xo9jp8w yes it appeared in Build fighters GMGM counter attack.
The only parts we can't get is the trainer cockpit and the legs..
Indeed, saw the Kakarot video that included it and the thing just screams for either a kit bash or a full on kit, very unique.
While not unique the Gundam Age was mind blowing at the time. Probably because of its lackluster show I feel that that kit is underrated. Its engineering holds up to this day.
ever since i bought my first gunpla kit.. up to now.. i never get bored !!!!! #IPROMISE :)
I want to get a graze and the barbatos so I could pose it so it looks like they are fighting
I don't even hv the money to get bored with building gundam, 2nd kit already got me thinking for months
