The MG that was the one that makes me really appreciate and fall in love with the Mark II AEUG 2.0. After I built it, I was like, wow, that is a beautiful model and an enjoyable piece to build!
Deep strike, psychozaku, fazz ver ka, full armor gundam, strike Rouge, transformer types and most the ones that have elaborate, heavy and/or articulated backpacks. Especially kits that have a normal version but also an upgraded kit. They usually don't re engineer kits for the extra stuff. It can really affect balance, posing and parts staying to connected
If you haven't tried any RG kits they are a good test and learning tool. They're highly detailed, have as many or more parts than a MG and have a full inner frame. I'd also suggest choosing a kit that has you quick drawing your wallet. Look at reviewers on youtube and take notes on what they say isn't good. Get a couple opinions as well. A lot of those guys are just clip, fit and panel line. Mostly base their review on right out the Box status. Some of them want kits to be an action figure.. they usually show busted fins, armor panels that fall off and joints that are weak. I glue most knee armor on. Because if you can't easily take a kit apart to pose the individual sections you of have thumbs on the knees as you pose the legs. Quite a few don't just bend. they have staggered bending and knee pads that travel. Nearly every kit has color correcting stickers which trigger non painters. As well dark plastic without undergate casting. It's very difficult to fix discolored plastic. There's also pretty easy solutions to most situations where a kit has problems
@@nofuxgivens2797 thanks for taking the time to write a big pointer for everyone. I'm sure it will help many hobbyist who watch this video. I like my kits to be out of the box with some work done to them, like painting the pilots, panel line and glow in the dark paint to some areas. To me the kits are not action figures, that's why when I do reviews I don't really talk much about articulation. I like to display them one at a time, mostly standing poses, unless they have wings then on an action base but in a dynamic way, to me they're between statue and action figures so I treat them like works of art. Gundam reviews are my favorite videos to watch on RU-vid. My favorite are @jabman025 and @redheadphones6, who are your favorite?
@@nofuxgivens2797 when he mentioned that list, I was thinking of those kits and yes that's a good point rehashing kits and sticking something new without thinking of the balance. Would you like a shout-out when that videos made?
I just finished my first kit and it was the MG Deathscythe Roussette, and it was freaking amazing, had a ton of fun building it and looking forward to my next project. Can't talk for everyone but for me it was a great introductory kit.
Late, but wanted to say, Wing Zero Ver ka is absolutely not a beginner kit, especially the kits problems with the wing joints tending to crack overtime meaning you'll need to do some fixing to make it hold up. Instead, the MG Proto Zero is a better choice, easy to build, posable, heck of a looker. Id also add the GM Sniper Custom as my personal pick. Good price, tons of accessories, really cool olive drab green color scheme. I would also say the Gundam X or Double X if one can find it, also fun first builds especially with an awesome shelf presence.
I'm doing the nu Gundam ver ka now and have to say I don't see it being difficult and honestly I won't even paint it besides a matte top coat to protect the panel lines and decals. It looks great as is.
Nu Gundam ver ka is my favourite MG. No Gunpla is not difficult. For the Nu Gundam it’s a longer build, and more technical, with lots of small parts. Btw I have a video on making the beam saber pop out on the forearm like the rg please check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lhY3BAUd5KE.html
Great list! My first Master Grade is Zaku Lunamaria. I'm loving the design and imo the coolest zaku variation. Second is my fav Freedom 2.0 and the third is Eclipse. I'm on hunting for MG Age 1 of any type. 😤
Master grade is my mainline kit and my very first MG is the Zeta plus. I remember being amazed with the inner workings of the legs (and the frustration of the transforming hip) but I fell in love with this Model line. Great video as always.
Thanks... Mg is my all time favorite line... I'm a little upset at the new rg hi nu for being better than the mg. But I'm going to say the mg still better 😂 the zeta 2.0 is one of my favorites
I’ve made 7 HGs just finished my first RG (started this hobby around Christmas) and I have 2 more and I also have a MG Star Build Strike RG Systems waiting for me. I don’t care if it’s a big kit I’m gonna build it
Really glad I found your channel yesterday. Watched about 6 videos and subbed after the 2nd. Your videos are very informative and very chill. Kinda funny too. A joy to watch/listen to. Thanks!
My 12 year old son and I have built 6 HGs and just got our first MG Blitz Gundam... decent price and different look compared to the others. Wish us luck! 🤞🫡
That's a good beginner kit. I think it's the earliest SEED MG. I wish you guys the Toyama23 mantra: Keep things awesome, Keep the hobby going and keep the hobbyists alive!
Cant wait to see you make a video out of it, if that’s your plan Jordan no pressure, wow another RU-vidrs watching my video. Anyone else reading the comments Check out @MJRLHobbysStuff
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel thank you! I will make a vid review. Interesting, I got it second hand from a guy that sold me 2 that were both open. I haven’t gone through them yet to see if I’ll actually make a complete kit…I’ll find out soon enough
Good start, full inner frame, a solid kit! I once had a unbuild jesta sold it for cash… today I miss it. I use to think jegan was a silly kit, i was wrong.
So uh, #Toyama23 here. My first MG was my 5th or so kit, and was the Epyon. Had no idea what I was doing but looked at a few reviews and was like "I guess I can do this?" I picked it because I was rewatching Wing at the time and I liked the idea of the big spread wings (and giant beam sword) for shelf presence. I mean, I DID and I still love it, but there are absolutely easier/better MG kits out there! I learned a lot from that kit, though, like supergluing those darn leg spikes so they stay on :-p
Wing zero VerKa is my first MG. Haven’t open it yet because it’s so pretty and I just built entry grade rx78-2. So I wanna build a few 1/144 before I dip my toes into MG :)))
I just got into gunpla bc my japanese gf told me ..Actually i am 12 but we have the same hobby so we kinda build it together and my parents only allow me to build hg so can you pls make the top 10 hg? I would love to see you talk about and Gunpla are kinda expensive n my country(in myanmar it cost almost about like 60000 just for 2 ) so please i would love to see you talk about Hg and see your option on which one to buy
Well got you covered! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7sjY-CN2Rtc.html And my favourite HG: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-amXKeDS6m20.html More HG: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qMnzo3s0AYY.html Share my videos with your gf, I wanna know if a Japanese builder agrees with my pick. And Share with your friends coz we need more people to build Gunpla! Thanks for watching my videos!
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel yep, sure!! But you are damn right when you said about beginning with smaller mg kits, as I began with a relatively tall gundam, I couldn't feel that "wow" factor in small kits in the beginning. Fortunately now I can appreciate it 😁.
How difficult is the MGSD Freedom in comparison to "normal MG"? Because that's my first and only MG that i build. Only got interested into gunpla a month ago with the RG line.
If you have no problems building the MGSD freedom you shouldn’t have a problem building a mg, the difference might be a regular mg has a longer build, just savour the build and enjoy the process.
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel Thanks for the answer! The only "problem" I have with the MGSD Freedom is the very stiff joints (makes sound when i move them) for posing when done. But no difficulty with the building process. Was wondering or I should use sand paper and take a little bit off the joints. Haven't done it yet because that would be irreversible. Also thought about dropping some WD40 on the joints. But unsure or the chemicals in WD40 damages the plastic. For now I left it as is, hoping that playing around with it for a bit that the joints might lossen up eventually (like ERS).
My first master grade was the mgex unicorn gundam and man I wouldn't recommend that as a first mg lmao I literally only built 1 hg before going to that lol it came out great though
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel It looked so cool and I couldn't resist lol but now I'm building the mg 2.p freedom gundam and it seems like a breeze in comparison lol. I have the ver. Ka nu gundam next after that. I'm thinking if eventually getting the perfect grade unleashed gundam. I want the mgex strike freedom, if I can get it lol
Freedom 2.0 is a great kit. Simple build but stunning wingspan! I love my ver ka nu gundam if you have not watch my modification video for the nu gundam please check it out! Yeah PGU reminded me of my first few videos. One day I need to get it.
Why would anyone recommend Epyon. Its my 1st ever MG and i almost got insane while building it. And the decals make it worst. I almost dont want to build MG ever again. Thankfully, my 2nd MG is Wing zero custom (2004) which was 10x easier than Epyon
