There's always a probability the oncoming RG's Nu-2 Hi-Nu's going to be a hand grenade/IED. Imagine surviving a heart attack just to be blasted to a pulp by an exploding gunpla.
@@sph9564 That's actually a good news if it shares a lot of RG Nu parts and joints. I have the RG Nu Gundam and it's one of the best RG I ever own, on par with the RG Sazabi. I am also a masochistic b@stard. Built the RG Zeta, RX-78-2,Exia and Sinanju. Building it hurts me but it feels so good.
I’d love to see you tackle that MG Zeta 2.0 in your “backlog burn-through” soon. It was my first master grade kit and I love it despite some of its flaws. Plus it has a killer transformation and awesome unique display base. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
I absolutely adore the Hi Nu, particularly Izubuchi's original lineart version. Just looks so much more monstrous and unrefined than the Nu. Awe inspiring and very menacing.
I'm still pumped for Mecha to review the upcoming MG Gundam Virtue this year. Yet, still waiting... Ay Mecha! *Mecha Gaikotsu × JobbyTheHong* Collab when?
I got the GPB version of this kit (basically the same kit but with a color scheme similar to the Nu Gundam). Aside from being back heavy and having only a pair of working fin funnels, it's a pretty nice kit for its age.
@@HYBRIDZHQ it is. It's from the same line as the Beginning Gundam kit from that Gunpla Builders OVA. It's hard to find, but looks good in the standard Nu colors.
Yeah I really enjoyed building and detailing up the Build Fighters Hi-Nu vRave based on this old kit. I change out the sky blue for Violet (which appears halfway between blue and purple), swapped the gunmetal frame to bronze and added more aluminium/silver to match the promo art. It now hovers majestically over my work desk.
I would absolutely have asked for this! It's so great. I'm a Hi Nu guy through and through -- can't wait for the RG -- and I've always been interested in this HG, and the Vrabe.
My only gripe with this kit is that ONLY 2 OF THE FUNNELS ARE FUNCTIONAL The HGUC Nu Gundam, which came out several years prior, has 6 fully functional fin funnels.
This kit has been sitting in my backlog for a while as well. I'm glad to see it still mostly holds up, especially since I hope to pick up the HG Nightingale when it comes out.
I actually have Ver.Ka High-Nu GUNDAM! It took me DAYS!! This little one looks more “aerodynamic” compared to the BULKY one Ver.Ka! I may try to get the RG in the future, once it comes out. LOVE THAT BLUE THOUGH!!
With the HG Hi Nu Gundam and the already realeased HG Nightingale in place, this is the defining moment to settle their differences between long time rivals, Amuro Ray and Char Aznable since the One Year War. Well, anyway, MSG: CC- Beltorchika's Children novel is actually a different take from MSG: Char's Counterattack anime film.
I've built this multiple times. I've straight built it, I've Kit bashed it with the Zeta before they made the Scramble Gundam (If you've seen the Hot Scramble you know why this makes sense), I've also built the VRABE which I'm still convinced is supposed to be the Hi-Nu BRAVE. This kit is so much fun and I look forward to the Real Grade.
The problem i had with this kit after a while was that waist joint. It became really weak and brittle. One day I decided I was gonna go back and detail it up and the ball on the waist joint just broke. Now I have to get another one just to replace it. Once those legs are on. Its best to just leave them alone.
@@brunocorrea2854 imma get both tbh, juat like the mg nu and hi nu, I like the difference between the regular and ver ka. The standard HG has a more line art accurate design, while the RG has a more detailed design
Eeyyyyyy! I got this kit; and used the black parts from Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G to give that classic Nu Gundam coloring and gave him his Nu Gundam shield. Can't wait for the RG Hi-Nu!
thought I had an aww shit moment when I saw the thumbnail.. thought I had something to add to the backlog.. but it was in the backlog all along.. #29 in fact!
There's 2 in there. One is for giving away because of a fuckup with Japan post with the last giveaway resulting in me buying a second prize, and the other is so I can have a 4th form and a 6th form of the MG
So many people have massive Gunpla backlogs and it's mainly caused by wanting to go the extra mile with them. I just build my kits the moment they come through the door. The only time they're kept waiting is if multiple kits arrive around the same time, such as if i buy multiple kits together. My largest ever backlog was when i'd received a large sum of money and had used it to buy several Master Grades and the last four Real Grades that were out at the time. (Unicorn, Banshee, Johnny's Zaku & Tallgeese)
I have this kit and it looks great for an HG. But sadly the limited neck and hips mean it looks best just standing there as supposed to any type of dynamic action pose. I'll be getting the RG for sure but I kinda wish its proportions were closer to this HG.
"This video right here wouldn't have been possible without those awesome people at..." My mind: Hobby Link Japan! Him: Buyee! My mind: Buyee! Him: Hobby Link Japan! FUCK.
This was my first kit, about 10 years ago. I now have so many kits that I cant fit them all... My backlog is massive too. I totally recommend it, it's pretty advanced for it's age and sure was the gateway drug to the hobby.
The hg gm has similar arm joints from what I can tell and it would have amazing articulation for an hg if you put the balljoints from the wave bj05 to connect it to a modern kit
One thing that I never see mentioned is the posable funnel can fit into any of the other positions on the wings, meaning that if you have three of this kit, all six funnels can be deployed.
You reviewed the Hi-Nu vRabe in the past, missed opportunity to do a comparison. Perhaps one day you can score the old MC Model Hi Nu Gundoom, it had a ridiculous double-sided beam sword and even wings of light effects.
I can't ignore the Mecha Gaikotsu Skeleton's V-fin since it appears to come from a Real Grade Astray , but back to the kit in this review. If the Hg Hi Nu is that good then the Rg is something I'm looking forward to.
I didn’t know this was a redesign of the Hi-Nu Gundam. I do want the RG but seeing the MG Ver. Ka of the Hi-Nu I definitely would love that on my shelf more.
No one is probably going to see this comment but, extremely disappointed that this only has to actually usable fin funnels in comparison to the regular Nu Gundam, and also disappointed that we still don't have a high grade revive of this kit it would definitely look great with the treatment.
I just windowshopped some gunplas like hours ago and i keep seeing some old hg kits like sword impulse gundam and god gundam. I want them but they look like bad kits like raider or something.
Hey Mecha, what do you think about the HG Hi Nu Vrabe? That is an interesting custom to this kit... wait... - search RU-vid - oh you did reviewed that 6 years ago. Man you sound so different, but if I were to choose, I think I'll pick the Vrabe over the original. It adds a little extra to the design overall.
You really should check out the HG Nu Gundam, not as good as the RG, not many is, but does things as decent and some what better then this, and the build is better in the proper colours of the HG Nu Zeon
If i cant find or afford the RG sbould i grab this or hold out for the RG? Im a new collector so kind of just looking at models that catch my eye and the RG definitely did, this doesnt seem bad but there are some noticable diffences.
