#gundam #gunpla #TOP10 - Jak na to + styl
The Zeta Gundam Ver Ka is definitely the greatest transforming kit Bandai has put out, with the Double ZZ Gundam coming in at a close second place for me
Its crazy how well that ZZ kit was engineered. Truly ahead of its time
..and simultaneously the shittiest ver. ka ever made. its barely even a master grade! no full inner frame, super shitty stickers, and about as much shelf presence as a lego minifig.
What about the ex-s gundam’s transformation
Double ZZ = Quadruple Zeta?
ZZ was fun AF to build and transform
it's honestly pretty funny how the Zeta ver ka is the only regular release 1/100 MG last year & it sure as hell didn't miss the number 1 spot. They finally made a Zeta that's actually perfect in model kit form & I couldn't be happier when I built one last year
I can't wait to get my first kit and it's all because of you I got into this hobby thank you Mecha.
Cool, what kit are you planning to get as your first?
dont worry about grade theyre all easy if youre patient and careful
i reccomend the astray hi resolution as the absolute peak of gunpla
it has a dos cast metal inner body that doesnt rely on fragile plastic joints but be careful about the katana it snapped at the hilft for me
ver ka sazabi and turn red astray with those TWO MASSIVE TRANSFORMING GUN SWORDS are also some of the absolute best
my advice is to never cheap out on low grade kits. waste of money and space ESPECIALLY if the mobile suit theyre inspired from already has a higher grade kit out from anytime since 2010ish
imo its master grade or better
who'd you choose?
I'm also curious of which kit you picked for your first. I went with the RG Strike Freedom because it's my favorite.
@@gamjanamja I was planning on wing zero ew ver ka.
4:26 I actually appreciate you calling out Bandai on this. FM are usually only $10 cheaper than MGs where I am (unless you are talking about oversized MGs like Virtue).
But some FM also bigger than regular MG.
I’m new to gunpla. Can someone please explain to me what full mechanic is in relation to a normal HG gunpla kit? What’s the difference?
@@SunBro_TalosFull Mechanics are bigger and have more detail and parts than HG kits. HG is 1/144 and FM is 1/100
@@SunBro_Talos They're something like a half-step between HG and MG. MG size, and usually without all the MG flairs, hence the "half step" label.
0)- Figure Rise Standard Chuchu

lotta high grades 🤮
guess 2023 wasnt a dumpster year for only the real world they massacred my boi master grade too didnt they?
oh well mecha musume kits are more my jam anyway
@@aa-tx7thMecha Gaikotsu literally explained why MGs weren't produced as much during the Forbidden Gundam part.
I just got into Gunpla late last year, and I've already amassed a little collection and lots of tools. Happy that I have about half of the ones on this list. I can't wait to see what comes out this year!
I appreciate your hard work! Thank for the gundarium tier content you’ve been putting out! 🙏🏽
Great list. I was so blown away by the fm aerial and the hg calibarn they just are so Friggin perfect
I just had a birthday + Christmas which means a lot of presents, and thanks to you, I got some amazing gifts from your reviews. Thank you for putting me into the hobby of GUNPLA by your amazing reviews.
ive been waiting for this video for days, thank you
I finished building the FM Aerial Gundam a few weeks ago, and I must say, it was a blast putting it together!
Ive been waiting for this!!! Thank you Mecha!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ALL THE KITS HERE. Let's continue watching!
Hey Mecha, just wanted to thank you for the reviews and all the videos you do. I really wanted to thank you for recommending me to Buyee in your previous videos. It really helped me get kits I thought I could never get like Doan's Zaku and RG Crossbones X2. Keep having a great 2024 and all the best of luck in your future endeavors!
Been waiting for this !!
I’ve been SLOWLY getting back into the hobby
So this is a great place to start to see what’s worth my time 💛💛
Great list
I really hope we get some more MG announcements this year, and another PG kit.
Hoping to experimemt more with HG kits and going further with top coating, decaling and painting some kits to a point where I can make a custom of my own. Thanks for sharing such banger picks for some of the best kits, some of which I've grabbed for myself and experienced as a someone who's just getting into the hobby!
Got that MGSD Barbatos for Christmas…WOW! That was the coolest build I’ve experienced in a while.
I have been waiting for this video for a while.
I too, look forward to our MGSD overlords! Also, one item I keep my eyes out for is the KOSMOS led kit for the FM Aerial. Definitely curious as some of the images I’ve seen are mind blowing!
You should try it, it really is beautiful
I love the MGSD so so much. I'd love enemy MS in this form.. Sazabi, Sinanju, Char's Zaku etc
Love your channel and all the advice... I just started building this past Christmas am 100 % involved now...just 4 straight builds and a new century zero liger zero for now but the new exia and shin burning are next on my list.
It feels like last week i saw your best gunpla of 2022 vid. Like damn... Time flies.
I'm looking forward to this year's Gunpla Lineup but also a bit sad as I may not be able to buy new kits. I'm a dad now so I must put my gunpla money for our little one. I'm still a lucky dude as my wife gave me an RG Epyon for Christmas, a perfect gift for my hiatus from the hobby.
I may not be able to acquire new kits, but I will always be a part of the community.
When I saw RG Epyon at 2nd place, I was wondering if there was an MG release at all this year, then I realized we had MG Zeta Ver.Ka.
Congrats to those who got all of the kits on this list. Good job Mecha!
I have no favorites of the year.
I'd say one I've really enjoyed seeing was the FM Aerial since I love the feminine designs so much, although I wish we'd get an MG of it at some point. FM Aerial is great but I've always loved the armour gimmicks of MG kits. Also, I love the building process of kits. Seeing the inner frame details is always a joy which is why I prefer MG kits.
It happened with Gundam Barbatos, so we might see a MG Aerial in a few years…
@@MechaGaikotsu Here's hoping it does happen. Praying that we get some really great kits(preferably not pbandai) while we wait for it to come out, whenever that is. Gonna be awhile but it is what it is.
Will be ordering those cute MG SD’s. 🤩
I loved building both mgsd’s need more this year!!! ✌️
Excited to watch your review for the Destroy Gundam from Seed Destiny!
Tbh I’d say that rg is more like mini pg kits then mini master grades, there’s so much detail and gimmicks that’s work, much more like a perfect grade then a master grade
Ya, the detail on ones like the zeong or epyon is so nice
Definitely with rg 2.0 coming out soon
Going to my favorite gunpla shop nearby tomorrow, I’m going to buy the calibarn!
Was really hoping for more MG kits this year.
Looking forward to Narrative Ver. Ka.
MG and MGSD line shows what potential lies for IBO MS can deliver. the mech design translates very well to the real world when being given over-the-top production quality. with the new animation project for urdr hunt, wishing more kits from Post-Disaster timeline
Well damn bro thanks for some recommendations.
Love the Build Strike Exceed Galaxy.
Was a great year for the hobby
Great review
Can’t wait for 2024 releases, the 2 new MG Ver.Ka from NT are a blast into my account 😂
Every time I see this it changes my plans for kit building weakend
Just today I took the EG Build Strike Gundam Exceed Galaxy and mixed it with the regular EG Strike Gundam. It has the more traditional Strike/Build Strike colors of the red/blue chest and the red feet mixed with the effect part pieces on the chest plate and knees. I have the regular Strike shoulders on it for compatibility with the strike packs they're releasing later this year for max options.
The only actual modification to parts I did was I chopped off the fins on the chest piece that stick up so it now has better compatibility with the Universe Booster. It doesn't fit perfect because the chest plate extends a little too far out, but it's close enough that it doesn't look too bad.
Doing this also left me with an almost entirely blue/grey strike. It's practically the Deactivate mode, except for the red/yellow on the head and the EG system plates from the exceed on the shoulders.
Can’t wait for the 2024 releases!
JUST IN TIME! HECK YEAH !!!
New kits are great, but bandai needs to up their restock game too. I saw news that the new factory for bandai hobby should begin operation this year, so hopefully that means older, harder to find kits get restocked. (also do we really need to restock HGUC Sazabi every other month?)
I hope we get more RG sets in 2024
I am BRAND new to gundam and gunpla, and 2 of my first and only 3 kits are on this list the Calibarn and the StrikeExceed Galaxy! Cool
Amazing summary of 2023 gunpla. Now here Hoping for you making Best of non-gunpla 2023
Awesome video! May I know the brand of your panel liner?
Glad that my favorite Schwarzette landed on the list
That's for the video just started getting in the hobby and want to see some budget friendly kits.
Hey there, i am new to gunpla and was looking arroun ffor my next set to build. first of all, thank you alot for this video. I definitly found some sets i would love to get. Saldy almost all sets i found here and in other videos that were recommended are all out of stock, both locally in my country and in the shop you linked to. I live in germany so i might be out of luck when it comes to this hobby ^^.
Boy oh boy, was I waiting for this!
I am very happy that Barbatos got some love in this list, as it is my all time favourite gundam 😊
Kinda unexpected but also glad to see the Zeta Ver. Ka at the top spot.
I thought it'd turn out to be Epyon cause it's a Real Grade, i haven't built mine yet but i'm really happy to see my all time favorite Mobile Suit at the top of this list.
I think it's also about what these two kits achieved. While the RG Epyon is the perfect Epyon, the MG Zeta is both a perfect Zeta AND a perfect transforming Zeta, which Bandai had not achieved for 40 years ever since the Zeta graced the screen.
@@gsm_liv8980 Fair point.
I bought both the MGSD they are absolutely gorgeous
They are! Anyone passing on these is truly missing out
Your arm warmers are so cute!
I have to admit RG r amazing because u don't have to paint if u don't want to. The coloring is really good and all u have to do is add panel lining to give it detail.
I loved the head design of the gunpla .
Man i love mgsd this year, cant wait to get more in 2024
2023 has been a great year for me to get into gunpla
Love this channel! Influences alot of my gunpla purchases.
Yea this is straight up the best CZcamsr
Your "Daka" comment for the forbidden gundam brought a smile to my face lol
Not gonna lie, The Witch From Mercury kits kinda foocked up the HG line... great vid once again!!! can't wait for next year's countdown.
I like the look of the older Gundams more! Especially that Epyon!
I whole heartedly agree with our desperate need of a new pg. My favorite part of kits are the builds
(The more complex, the better) and ive been fiending bad ever since the pg-U grandaddy and MGex strike freedom. I needs that itch scratched bad man.
Finally some respect for the zeta gundam
Honestly gundam aeriel rebuild with the buster rifle looks sick
Sad that only 1 mg this year
I only have the Hg Ariel Rebuild, Rg Epyon, and Mg Zeta Ver ka, they hobby shop was always sold out of the other hg Mercury kits and I died a bit inside
pistons of mgsd barb are not separated, you have to mask to paint
Lovin this list, even if I still need to get most of these kits 😂
The Schwarzette is definitely my number 1 gunpla of 2023. You could be a final fantasy fan or a transformers fan and still enjoy the Schwarzette. In the one wonged form, it looks like Sephiroth, the One Winged Angel. If you buy two kits to give it two full wings, it looks like Nova Prime. One mecha kit, two evil alien angels! What's not to love?
Edit: also, I'm prating Bandai makes a master grade of it. I'd buy 2 kits in a heartbeat
Hey MG! Any chance you’ll be doing any of the Bandai SMP Sentai Robo’s?
I do not have a top 10 but I do have a top 5:
1. RG Epyon
2. HG Schwarzette
3. HG Calibarn
4. HG Aerial Rebuild
5. HG Lfrith Jiu
They were so much fun to build and they look fantastic on my shelf
Hope you can do a review for Thunderbolt cosmic general purpose combat robot :)
i didnt think you could exceed my expectations with how many exceedingly blatant puns you cracked but youve done it, youve exceeded- lol
the thumbnail goes hard
I'm really hoping the 30 MM ones for Armored Core get announced soon, and that they're good 😅
of all the kit on this list the only one I didn't get and build would be the fm forbidden gundam also prior to getting the verka zeta I never touched any verka's but it definitely put me on a verka binge this year going from 0 to 5 of them in a single year
Ill be honest im curious what the releases will be for the IBO movie. Maybe a MG Hajiroboshi or Marchosias? Or MGSD?
is there any announcement for caliburn to be release in MG or FM like aerial?
Chu Chu's Demi Barding was my favorite kit of 2023.
The Gundam Calibarn is the best HG I love it
You have trouble posing with the mace on the MG and HG Barbatos?
Hey. Does anyone know what kind of display stand he is using in his videos ? Looks much better than the black action base! ❤
Nice
Do u think we will get more MGSD Gunpla because I love Barbatos and Freedom 👍.
Ngl, I had quite high expectations for Build Metaverse kit as I'm a Gundam Build fan and the success from TWFM kits actually convinced me about Bandai's HG line. Then the 3-episode anime and the poorly designed kits (except for the Exceed Galaxy and Diver Arc) just totally let me down. Luckily I watched your review and chose the MGSD Barbie over Plutine, 100% correct decision. Thank you Mecha for great reviews through the year, always support you and your contents!
The last newest kit i build was the hg nightingale. My back log still has like 20 model kits to go and 10 of them are mg 😂
What on earth was that panel line marker you used at 16:40. I need it and have only found sharpie like type ones
Those Witch from Mercy kits are some of the best High Grade Gundam model kits ever made.
What is the name of the marker at 16:31 ?
Thank you and great video!
As a beginner, where do you guys buy model kits from?
Honestly if or when i get a gunpla kit, im getting the barbatos or unicorn cause i watched their series
who like Forbidden Gundam / 🖐 🖐
I got into gunpla summer of last year and have 40 kits under my belt now lol currently working on rg epyon and just got my first MGs, MG sinanju OVA and MG Unicorn. Never able to do this as a kid and now at 32 you and zakuaurelius got me to say FUCK IT lol also helps the local hobby lobby has them 40 percent off every other week!
I just collected my built model kit from Bandai on stucked are different like a pastic kit.
I hope that the Calibarn, the schwarzette and the aerial rebuild will get a future in the MG line 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🙏🏾
That would be great, the designs deserve it!
Here's hoping the new factory will start operations this year and we start getting more new releases that aren't low effort cash grab HGs.
Third party already announcing some kits that the community has been demanding forever... (ie 1/100 GP02)
I'm barely 6 months into the hobby, but my thought on the Forbidden Gundam is that its awesomely chunky Mobile Armour Unit probably posed more than its fair share of engineering problems, especially given that it shares a base frame with the other two totally-not-Cyber-newtypes rides from SEED.
Either way, if the utterly gorgeous Aerial is the standard we can expect of FM going forward, I'll cross my fingers for the Thrones to get the FM treatment so I can line them up against the MGs of the orignal four Celestials of 00
speaking of the narrative ver ka, it looks like in some pictures it has poseable hands like the master grade 3.0 fully articulated hands.
they look very different, but from the way they're sculpted they seem like the fingers are somewhat poseable to me
