HG 1/144 Windam Review - The new king of the Fine Build System 

HGAC Leo : "Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!"

Impulse's favorite target practice mobile suit.

Tube with fins : missile Tube with small holes in the front : rocket pod

The cannon fodder of Gundam SEED Destiny that deserved much more than it recieved. Also Neo Roanoke Custom when?

If you still have the high grade Build Strike Cosmos, the backpack should be compatible with the Windam

15:10 windam can cross arms mecha: i'm very happy also mecha: let's give it gundarium tier!

the new generation HG is so detailed . almost like MASTER GRADE ❤️

This kit introduced me to Gunpla and is the reason why I started collecting them. im actually so obsessed now and have over 100+ kits and a lot of rare P-Bandai kits. Forever grateful for receiving this kit for free and being bored one day and decided to build its 10/10 kit and perfect for beginners

I love your videos not only because of the topic, not because you help me decide what to buy, but because I love seeing you being happy talking about your kits and how much you like them. You're bad at hiding your happiness

Visor is the coolest thing ever!!!

3:26 "Gotta know this thing has a TODESSCHRECKEN""

I love the feet! Gives me a Armored Core vibe. Armored Core actually has some great gunpla style kits too.

I remember the times when me and my cousins would watch ur gundam reviews (we prefer your reviews rather than other people’s)I remember that’s when I saw so many gundam well mostly gundams my cousins used to build lots of gunpla when we were watching it reviews it really made me want to understand what it felt to build and pose gunpla so I got a hg and loved it this channel and gunpla in general made my relationship with my cousin a bit closer than we already were we talk about which kit to get when we talk so I thank you, Mecha Gaikostu

Absolutely loving those outdoor shots. More please

Mecha: eerrr gundarium tier eeer never mind Me:*laugh*

Windam + Strike = Build Strike Gundam Windam + Impulse = Build Burning Gundam Just noticed 😄

@Mecha Gaikotsu Love your mobile suits intro and details. Looking forward to buy Windam kit.

Lovley, made me preorder it for tomorrow I hope its as fun to paint as it looks to build

3:51 there's only one purpose for a missile, sure But in this case it means it isn't limited to one type of Target (I.E. only being able to lock and fire on air targets)

That windam is cool as hell. I’ve found out about a lot of gundams that I didn’t know about thanks to this channel. Tbh I haven’t watched the series since g gundam but am doing a builder’s model collection.

I like the head sculpt on this guy It reminds me of Tailgate from Transformers

This is one of my all-time personal favorite mass produced mobile suit.

13:17 best transition ever

My thoughts as the review moved on: The visor and V-Fin remind me HEAVILY of the V2's torso V and my personal favorite grunt-style visor. One can do so much with simply posing the head. Love the almost insect-like feet. Holy moly, single-joint low crouch dab pose AND it can cross it's arms? Yes, please!

The grunt suit without any confirmed kills in Seed Destiny

I'd love to see someone take this guy into Build Divers and give it the stellar performance it deserves.

I was really happy that they finally brought out the Windam. Now I want a regular Strike Dagger please.

The "hehehe" after the missted joke just finished me for a few days, thank you

So good this was my first gunpla and I made it into windam kai =3 so now it is not only beautiful but also strong with metallic anti beam custom made stickers

Also, your build strike galaxy cosmos contains the old seed backpack adapter. That is if you didn't already toss the galaxy booster!

I think the reason it's only compatible with older style backpacks is specifically because backpacks were it's gimmick along with the Strike. Like Destiny for example isn't necessarily designed with swapping backpacks in mind, but the Strike and Windam were which meant the designers decided what kind of detail was around the connection point. When they did that they pigeon holed the current designers into the one peg design that had been decided on at the time.

The Windam's legs go from "Slav Squat" to "sticks ma leggy out real far", and I love that

Hey Mecha gaikotsu like it's going to say you convinced me to buy a 30 minute missions kit and the SD Valkyrie and also the core Gundam and also the 30-minute missions kit accessory thing and I'm still waiting for it to arrive you convinced me to get the quanta Gundam full saber even though I didn't build it right I still had fun thank you for recommending these kits hopefully my allowance won't have to suffer for too long seriously I have $9 left ( edit: it is 11 pm-11am whenever just watch the video that's the kind of thing I hate about different time zones like I guess I don't know)

i live in germany and i cant wait to get the two kits. my Strike Freedom needs his partner the justice. And the Windam is also very nice so i will build them^^ Thanks for your Videos. i quit enjoy them a lot

Looking forward to your A-Z review!

Just finished my build of this. Even more solid than the Leo. The stickers for the pack are easy to apply and look good too.

And this just got blown away as soon as it's been released by the Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam.

I've had the HG build strike (which was based on the new HGCE Strike) the build is good on that one. The arms has it's own inner frame

I agree with the gold tier placement here. The Windam is quite an amazing kit considering the fact that this is a FBS or Fine Build System based kit though a minor nitpick from me is that it doesn't have the Stiletto daggers on it's pockets but I guess it had to be omitted to keep costs low. Otherwise, I kit that I'm thoroughly excited to add to my growing collection.

I love its wing backpack!

OH SHIT didn't know this was getting made! Love the Windam

Looks good, sharp looking kit. Gotta admit though, the ace glasses style sticker makes it look 80% better than it probably is.

I love your review 😍 the best Gundam review...

One cool thing is you can swap the head with that of the strike (or any gundam head that fits the aesthetic of the body) and you got a Gundam type

The leg ankle tilt was limited not because of the armor, but because of the balljoint cup on the foot. I believe you can make it better by cutting it a bit and leave a room for ankle tilt.

I just bought one today to practice scribing on. Now knowing the eyes are color separated, im gonna buy another one to practice air brushing on 😊

I love that backpack and missiles. I'd like to modify it to work with a 30MM kit.

I loved his matches back in the 80s with Flair. (Barry Windham, get it?)

Another impressive review. To be honest, it is actually good that Bandai started making this grunt suits with today's technology. They are pack w/ impressive parts, articulations & gimmicks for a budget model kits. Just a few cleanups & panel lines & they already look awesome & ready for battle pose on your display cabinets. Its a shame that some expensive kits nowadays are kinda dull compare to this. Hoping Bandai will give us more grunt suits like this & the MG G-Self which most fans are eager to buy for... :-)

I've got two of these now, and I would just keep building them if I could find more. It's a very fun build. My only complaint is they could've easily hidden all of the worst nub marks on this kit. The teal parts on the shoulders being the main offenders. Huge pieces, the nubs should have been on the inside, not right on the front and rear that we see. Insanely good kit though. :)

I bought the Justice gundam and the wind am on two different occasions completely oblivious to how well they compliment each other.

Totally must get this!

I’ll strongly encourage you to try the new HGCE Aile Strike. For the price, and for its time, it blew everyone away.

Waiting for the Astray Orb grunt suit. Those blades are 🥰

This kit looks so cool

Also: Wonsan could almost be mistaken as a gundam, it just needs eyes and red on it and it be set

i love the silhouette of the windam

Personally i like the striker pack style connection because it holds it in more securely ive beeb playing around with my hg build strike which has the same striker pack connection and it is still tight and solid as a rock

There are some Build custom backpacks that might have a Seed style peg but the one I have K9 backpack has one but I dunno about the others. Sidenote: Strike Gundam (Aile pack) and Gundam Barrel Dagger have that peg plug in since they share it.

Looking forward to your kyrios review :)

I liked the look of it so I'm using it as a base to make my own Gundam

the 1/144 SKY HIGH WINGS comes with an adapter to use the mother kits on the single peg style

*my perfect strike glaring in the corner* Aight, Perfect Windam is on the way

This fine build system is great! I’d love to see the murasame ,ginn, Zaku, Strike dagger, astray, The Heavygun, Aries, and other grunts made with it

Mecha Gaikotsu, just as a heads-up, the Diver Ace Unit from Build Divers contains a 1-peg/2-hole adapter of the sort you describe at around the 5:25 mark. I don't know whether any of the other Build Divers Support Units also contain that sort of adapter. Obviously this is sub-optimal compared to such an adapter coming with the Windam itself, but the option is available to pick up a part like that.

If you have HGBC Powered arms Powereder, it has a Y adapter for that one slot for it to be able to use the 2 peg connector

This kit gives gm and heavyarms custom feels, i gotta buy a couple to go against my ginns. Id defs buy this boi

Got to build 10 of these.

Now i can wait to Mecha Gaikotzu to reviewing MG Kyrios.

Look so beautiful, so simple, less colours but look much better than most goofy gundams.

IIRC, Build Booster (Build Strike Full Package) set have the Striker adapter 1-to-2 9mm holes.

My favorite grunt suit finally has a kit

0.0 of o wasn’t broke I would buy it.... thanks for the review m8.... cheers

I’m new to gunpla you are very helpful

As far as i know thst this gundam is perfectly had frames and joints it also has nice Shoulder pads and also the visors looks badass as hell so i hope this is gundam

Gonna get the justice and the windam BOTH!

windam: just as capable as strike also windam: has no bodycount on mobile suit kills

I first knew of this MS cos of Gundam Reborn and i wasn't impressed but after seeing the official pictures for this kit; i've grown to like it a lot more. Neo Roanoke Custom when?

I think Impulse's plane is a converter if you want to use 2 pegged style backpack on strike style back

The todesschrecken is the CIWS model name that Windom use, has smaller caliber then usual CIWS other ms use. Full name: M2M5 "Todesschrecken" 12.5mm Automatic CIWS

3:50 The proposes they’re referring to are air to air and air to ground missiles

I'm a little bit bummed there's no clear part for the visor, but the sticker does look quite good, surprisingly. Shocked they didn't include an optional green sticker since even in the anime they couldn't decide what color this thing's visor was supposed to be.

Painting and sanding is a must in the world of gunpla unless u like having seamlines

Can't wait for the murasame, like the design of that

"Gundarium tier!" WOAH EASY THERE, TIGER

I just bought that kit today, absolutely worth it I have a hazel 2 (I will ship them)

I always love your video mecha, kuz you make it little funny😁 .. Keep safe

I don't have any real attachment the the windam in general, I only got it cause it was only 11 on hlj and I was buying the infinite justice anyway, but I'm really impressed with how it turned out. I'm not really into grunt mobile suits, but there's an exception to every rule.

Looks like this will be fun to mod on.

Man I might need to get a couple. I hate buying the same thing again but these things would just look so good with different colors palets and striker packs

If I'm correct the bigger missiles there are more of micro missile launchers. They can probably fire 2-3 times before they're jettisoned as deadweight.

The upcoming Entry Grade RX-78-2 should be a great example of the Fine Build system, I'm hoping you take a look at that due to how many features it packs for a 770 yen kit. Also, will you be reviewing the HGAC Geminass?

Currently building the V2 assault buster as I’m watching. It uses one peg in the back. Do with that information as you wish

I'm getting this when I can

Can't wait for the Eldora Windam!

I want to kitbash the Hell out of this. Also, i think the Cosmos BD striker pack has that single peg.

"unless its packages of bombs" Cue laughing at own joke!

I'm surprised they made this MS before any grunts from the first SEED series, like the GINN or Strike Dagger. Definitely not complaining though.

I hope you will review that Entry Grade RX-78-2 when it comes out.

Gone with the Gundam In with the Windam
