  • And then it's sort of like a 1.5 version of the master grade.

  • I wouldn't really call it a full two point.

  • Oh, it's still using Ah, good amount of parts from the original old one point.

  • Oh, and it doesn't feel like you're building like a new like recent master grade, but it definitely does feel update.

  • It doesn't feel as old as the original kid is, so that's good.

  • It's definitely a really big big improvement over the original.

  • I will have never built the original, but I know it's notoriously one of the worst master braids out there.

  • So definitely a lot of improvements with this kid s O that just makes it a great kit right off the bat with a huge improvement.

  • I'm sure people who are fans the design or maybe hoping for a full on 2.0, that doesn't seem likely now at this point not we've got this and we've actually just got the announcement of a another version of this coming out the Unicorn version of this also on the way as well. 00:00:56.940 --> 00:01:6.010 So it seems like Ben is gonna be utilizing this kind of 1.5 version of this, maybe for a couple of releases and probably just gonna pass on doing a full on two point. 00:01:6.010 --> 00:01:8.390 Oh, and it's a shame that probably all gonna be P Van Dyke. 00:01:8.390 --> 00:01:14.370 But if you're a fan of the suits and you do want a newer version of this, I would say just spring for it.

  • Just spend a little extra money to get this because it's definitely a much, much better kids than the original.

  • And so I think you'll be happy with the kid, even if you had to pay a little bit more for it.

  • So again, thanks to samurai by our for sending me this kid to check out, I put the link to their side down below.

  • If you're interested in a Japanese proxy service for ordering stuff from Japan like premium Bend I stuff like this and maybe there's a premium bend I released that you missed when it first came out, and you want to try to hunt it down there in Japan and order it through a proxy service.

  • Some our buyer is an option that you could look into salt but the link down below.

  • Now let's get into talking about all the accessories and stuff you get included here with the get.

  • Its first thing is we have this beautiful sheet of water side decals here, basically just a couple of little big logos and markings on their few of little caution markings things like that generic stuff as well. 00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:4.750 It's a really nice mix of markings for this in black, red whites and yellow. 00:02:4.950 --> 00:02:6.860 They have two different action based connectors For this. 00:02:6.860 --> 00:02:15.160 This is the action based connector for when it's transformed into its Wave Rider mode and the other action based character I have on there right now because the kid can stand on its own.

  • But the backpack is really heavy, So when I got up on my rotating base there, spinning around just to make sure it didn't fall down, I put it.

  • I put the action base up there underneath this, so that's being held in this.

  • So you have another action based connector for just the regular Connexion up underneath the waist section there.

  • And that's what hand options has just got this swappable finger hands.

  • We've seen a lot of recent master grades like the Master Grade GM Kids masquerade Jim sniper, too, and things like that s so there's just the extra finger options for that.

  • It's got closed fists as well as left and right open hands.

  • And these holding hands with our new specific for this kid because they're very big for holding the big giant beam saber handles that it's got there on his backpack, not the regular ones.

  • You do have the regular of being several holding hands included in here. 00:02:55.460 --> 00:03:7.170 They're listed as extra parts just because they're not really used for this kit in a similar situation here with the trigger finger as well as we have a new trigger finger set of fingers for this because the this this the fingers a little bit slightly different. 00:03:7.310 --> 00:03:14.130 We have original set of left and right trigger fingers in here as well, but those again aren't used because you look at the shape of them.

  • They're just slightly different.

  • So just for the rifle that this kid does have you're not going to use the original.

  • You got this new said that you used to go along with the rifle, so we just take a look at that now.

  • This is, of course, probably the most famous aspect of this kid.

  • This a k looking rifle being rifle that this has.

  • Personally, I'm not that.

  • I mean, it's kind of cool, I guess That's kind of interesting that it has this kind of style of being rifle butt.

  • Honestly, it's not like a really selling point for me.

  • On a second hand would prefer just kind of a normal style looking beam rifle.

  • But it's interesting.

  • It's unique anyway, So it's got a sticker there for the camera lens for that, otherwise just pretty nicely molded and detailed there.

  • I mean, it looks cool, has a little tab which will fold out here in the back of that.

  • That's for playing it on when it's it's transformed mode. 00:03:56.740 --> 00:04:0.870 The ML clip is removable, but it's not really gonna do anything that's entirely too much to do with that. 00:04:0.880 --> 00:04:4.590 Just can remove that if you like, and then we have the massive beam saber affect parts here. 00:04:4.590 --> 00:04:14.420 These air, actually, the beam saber effect parts that you would typically get with a 1 60 scale perfect great kit or something like the master grade double Zeta Gundam, which also uses these giant being saber handles.

  • So he's before these giant means they was here too are stored up in his backpack.

  • Your move that out of there this plug into there and then you've got the specific cans for holding on to this giant being saber.

  • And they've got the shield, Which again, not really to my particular taste.

  • I just don't really quite like how dome shaped the shield is for this.

  • So it's kinda like I really like the design of mobile suit and the backpack to especially is really cool looking.

  • But the rifle and the shield of personally are kind of like my problem.

  • At least spare parts of the kid, just in my personal opinion.

  • But still, this is, uh Anyway, there is in the two tone color and you've got, like, the grenades up there on the inside.

  • And here you've got the blood where this will plug onto the arm.

  • That'll just pop out there and you've also got the handle, which will fold down there as well. 00:04:58.210 --> 00:05:1.700 That handle can also rotate so you can use that just on the arm. 00:05:1.970 --> 00:05:10.250 And then we've got 12345 bits of connectors, which are used for the transformation in there as well.

  • So we'll go over the transformation here in a bit.

  • But first, let's go over some of the articulation.

  • I want to remove the backpack first for a couple reasons.

  • Just so.

  • It's kind of out of the way.

  • It's easier to show you guys the articulation of the main mobile suit, but also because the backpack does come off quite easily.

  • These parts just fit into the back there.

  • You just kind of pop it in, and then it's lots down into place.

  • It's like, Well, I'm moving, and I'm sure they're just accidentally gonna knock that off a bunch of times.

  • So I'm just gonna go ahead and take off these parts straight away.

  • Are there in the center of stays on a little bit better.

  • So just keep on that there for now.

  • The time being, we focus on the head, which is entirely new for this kid, which is great because it's much better than the original mold.

  • Once again, we've got four stickers there for the head camera and the eyes and around here on the back of the head as well.

  • Little full sticker for that.

  • Also, if you want to use that, the head articulation will go all the way up and marry far up. 00:05:56.650 --> 00:06:5.270 They're gonna think that's just for the transformation, actually, but still, it's pretty good articulation, even if it's not, for if you're just using it for it is posing that for transformation. 00:06:5.520 --> 00:06:6.310 So that's really nice. 00:06:6.310 --> 00:06:10.420 Had articulation upwards down all the way to their cockpit.

  • Hatch does open up.

  • This whole part will lift up in this red part.

  • Will lift out like that.

  • You can see are seated.

  • Pilot figure.

  • It's actually very visible up inside there, for one, so that's kind of cool.

  • You a couple of stickers here.

  • The black fits inside the vents on the front of the chest is also foil stickers.

  • Otherwise, it's just a straight up yellow piece would've been nice if they would have made as a separate piece to fit inside of there, kind of like with these vents or burn years here on the side of the shoulders and on the front of the way section here that the gray that you're seeing inside there is actually great piece.

  • So it's actually color separated like that's They did a really good job of that color separation on there.

  • It's a shame they couldn't do that.

  • They're on the test as well, but easy enough to just feel that it with some black pain if you don't wanna use the stickers.

  • As for the torso articulation here we can bend back all the way to there and then forward all the way to their. 00:06:52.350 --> 00:07:1.160 So not bad at all for the stomach crunch on that even have some side to side movement here, sideways to there and two there And then, of course, rotation as well. 00:07:1.160 --> 00:07:3.200 So, so far are neck and torso movement. 00:07:3.200 --> 00:07:3.680 Very nice. 00:07:3.680 --> 00:07:4.860 Let's go into the shoulders. 00:07:4.940 --> 00:07:10.930 Shoulder will swing forward about to there, and then you can move that upwards again, pretty much just for the transformation.

  • But you can rotate the arm up very nice and far upwards as well, so that's good.

  • An arm will rotate there at the top and double joint in the elbow give you a nice full Ben.

  • They're here on the backside of the arm.

  • This little door will open up.

  • Open up the door like that, and then this part will slide forward to point those missiles out a little bit like so.

  • This great part here for the restaurant will also move up and down.

  • So if you move that up, then you'll be able to get the door open up to its full extent.

  • And then again, with the push forward, you can see there's the missiles kind of poking out of there, not molded in a different color.

  • Unfortunately, so just painting those up again would be a good idea.

  • It's just at that nice clothes separation to those.

  • Otherwise, aside from the up and down movement there at the base of the wrist, the wrist itself is also on a hymns that can move that forward and back.

  • Like so. 00:07:56.180 --> 00:08:0.750 The thumb has a ball joint at the base, and also the front digit of the thumb can also be bent. 00:08:0.760 --> 00:08:1.480 Their fingers keeps. 00:08:1.480 --> 00:08:5.660 Want one to pop out on me there, but you can bend the thumb a little bit like that there as well. 00:08:5.660 --> 00:08:10.210 And the risk is just the main part of just on a ball joined there so you can move that around and rotate.

  • That, of course, is usual.

  • See, this is why I completely fixed post hands or the best way to go.

  • Maybe moving down to the skirt armor again.

  • Just really nice color separation on this.

  • It looks really, really nice on these.

  • Front skirts will move up all the way to their so those will be up planning out of the way.

  • Besides, skirts were actually connected onto the side of the top of the leg will move out like that, but that just kind of move along with the leg there.

  • Unfortunately, there are going to be getting in the way from you being able to spread the legs very wide at all for any really dynamic aerial poses they really gonna built to get those out to about there.

  • And then I feel like they're going to be suffering maybe a little bit of weight issues as well.

  • They seem like they're kind of holding a little bit will be conceded.

  • That's the full extent.

  • But when I let go of that.

  • It will drop down a little bit like that just because of the way isn't able to hold that full extent of that post was going around to the back here. 00:08:57.640 --> 00:09:1.530 The Backstreet is all this one piece molded together, but that will move up and down Cem again. 00:09:1.530 --> 00:09:7.100 Nice clothes separation There the little Prester bells and this main part of the backpack anyway will rotate forward. 00:09:7.100 --> 00:09:10.710 That's again for the transformation, so we'll take a look more at that later.

  • But aside from being science, courses are also kind of beam guns, as far as I know, are being cannons to those built point forward like That's pretty cool.

  • Uh, the legs will be able to come forward exact to almost 90 degrees.

  • Not really all that for four.

  • But if we've been the lake and get that just up a little bit higher, have a nice double joint here in the knee and separation of this knee armor, which is kind of goofy in the way that it's kind of sort of floating in there almost.

  • But you have a nice separation there with that and a good knee bend and really nice mix of some new and some old parts here on the lower legs.

  • But of course, again, the color separation is much much improved on this, with the really nice color details on that and here on the back of the leg as well.

  • There's kind of a lot more going on in here with the legs, but a lot of that is just for the transformation.

  • So again, it'll just kind of normal stuff.

  • For now, the foot will point all the way down, like that's up underneath the feet, some nice detail there. 00:09:59.420 --> 00:10:4.830 As for the ankle moving side to side, as you can imagine, a little bit hindered by this low hanging armor on the side of the lower legs. 00:10:4.830 --> 00:10:7.340 There, you can still get a pretty good band side to side. 00:10:7.340 --> 00:10:10.650 They're the ankles, and the front of the foot is actually separates.

  • That'll move separately from the back half of the foot, so you had to rotate them both.

  • Thio keep the foot flat anyway.

  • And of course, this flap on the front of the ankle will also move up and down like that as well.

  • It's kind of cool how this little part you're on the front will move out of the way as you move that up because you kind of put it back down like that.

  • But once out of the backpack, back on now for the moment just to point out the stickers.

  • So here in the centre backpack, this part is a sticker there.

  • And then for these thruster bells here, the red ring around the outside of that is a red sticker like fits around the outside of this yellow part.

  • And then here on the side, this little gold sticker there on the side of their as well.

  • So you do have a few color correcting stickers, especially there on the back, back, but kind of small amount.

  • And then they're all in the back side of the lawsuit, so little more forgivable.

  • I think these could have been separate parts, though it may be the red ring.

  • I can't understand about these parts. 00:10:59.020 --> 00:11:0.960 The thing definitely could have been several parts. 00:11:0.960 --> 00:11:1.990 That's kind of shame about that. 00:11:1.990 --> 00:11:4.100 But anyway, still, the backpack does look really nice. 00:11:4.100 --> 00:11:14.170 I think also these beans that Randall's up here at the top can be rotated forward for if you just want to shoot them forward like that as being cannons as they are, or if you want to pull that off and use it as a beam saber.

  • All right now transformed this guy and I want to show you the transformation, but trying to get it onto this stand here and action based plugs on to where it's supposed to go, but it's just not holding it up, so that's just not gonna work.

  • I'll just have to show you by hand here, anyway.

  • It's one of the stupidest, most ridiculous looking transformations anyway.

  • Don't even one of those ones, Like with the wind.

  • Gundam wears like a long as you look at it from the top that doesn't look that bad him from the top.

  • It doesn't look back great, and I really like the look of this backpack, especially.

  • It's one of my favorite parts about this kid, just the color of that bright purple color for the backpack.

  • What's really cool is the design in general.

  • The backpack is really cool, but still is.

  • Thing is just not looking cool, transformed into its way writer mode at all.

  • I mean, if you get this thing around and like I just got the she'll only undecided. 00:11:59.790 --> 00:12:3.390 There's just kind of, like strapped on around the front of his body there. 00:12:3.390 --> 00:12:4.970 It doesn't look aerodynamic. 00:12:4.970 --> 00:12:6.670 It doesn't look cool at all. 00:12:6.680 --> 00:12:11.720 So yeah, it's a big pass on the transformation on this guy, but it can do it if you're so inclined.

  • Well, also, as I said, all the color separation and improved articulation is a vast improvement over the original kit.

  • One thing is still just getting in the way, and it's really kind of annoying.

  • And it's that that hip articulation that you can't get the legs out to the side very well.

  • So you'll see in someone posing here as we wrap up the review that just really having trouble getting into some really cool poses.

  • And there's because I'm cool pose that you can do for sure.

  • And I think it looks great just standing there honestly, so you don't really particularly need to get into any dynamic poses.

  • And while so much of the articulation I think is improved Aaron and like is totally fine as a master, grade is just the inability to make the legs any wider spread in action poses. 00:12:56.820 --> 00:13:4.800 So I think you could maybe utilize that if you want to kind of, like, trick it a little bit by having it like having in the legs, the hips partially transformed. 00:13:5.170 --> 00:13:10.310 I'm not sure how well that would work overtime, because I think you would obviously have some way issues of that.

  • So you'd have to kind of like, modify that or something in order for it to really work long term.

  • But I'm finding that particular point of articulation Bieber hindering in terms of getting into any really cool poses.

  • But I do my best year with ease over, although I think this kid does still look good and against so much better than the original.

  • Don't keep going back to the same point of comparing it to the original.

  • But I think that is definitely one of the things that is kind of the most exciting about this.

  • Just for people who are fans, the design, how much of an improvement this is.

  • It's just leaps and bounds better.

  • But if we were to just pretend that there was never a one point all of this and just focusing on this kid in particular, uh, as it is, as a master grade.

  • I mean, like I said in the very beginning, the review.

  • It doesn't feel like you're building a modern masturbate, but it doesn't feel like you're building a 20 year old master grade.

  • It feels 10 years old. 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:1.540 Let's say something like that anyway, So where it's really good, it's got a lot of good points in there. 00:14:1.540 --> 00:14:7.970 But it has a couple of bad points that is still not quite Twillie figured out yet, so it's not perfect by any means. 00:14:7.980 --> 00:14:10.930 Is it still a fun master grade in a cool master grade?

  • A cool looking master grade?

  • Definitely, I think so.

  • So that is, I think going to be the biggest selling point of this is just how cool it looks and just very colorful design.

  • If you like that personally, maybe a little bit too colorful for me.

  • Like I said, I do really like the yellow accents.

  • I love the purple on there, but just the overall color scheme.

  • There's a little bit too much for me.

  • So ultimately, when I get around to painting this, I won't be painting in the original colors.

  • But it's kind of interesting that the upcoming unicorn version of this is a much more muted color schemes.

  • It's kind of very stark contrast to this one how colorful this one is.

  • But I guess that just kind of is how it goes.

  • Unicorn compared to Zeta, Double Zeta era stuff is just kind of typically like that.

  • Does it for the review guys.

  • Pretty cool kid.

  • If you do still have another, further questions or comments, feel free to leave those down below, of course.

  • And as always, thanks so much for watching guys I'll see in the next one.

  • Have a good day.

And then it's sort of like a 1.5 version of the master grade.
