HG 1/144 Xi Gundam Review | MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY 

For a very expensive HG kit they should be. I mean I could buy an MG with this kit's price.

@@edweefication Of course it's also bigger than some MGs...

@@TheGolux what makes MGs pricey is that they have so many parts for color separation. Not only the size.

It's actually the amount of plastic used.

They always good on color separation.. Just they dont want to give em on HG line...

My day was perfectly fine before you had to show me that. Now I can't unsee it either.

@@erhiueQWEF I don't know about you but it's pretty dope imo

first grovyle's face in Sazabi's torso.... then cell's face in Messer's torso.... and now this.... 😅🤣

@@geminas5044 wait untill you see the chest of kampfer that looks like a sad frog

Nooooo you ruined my fav gundam!

For real.

same here! Xi is actually very big, but I catch that you mean by the slimmer part is that everything is not 'out of place' like penelope does (xi is more 'compact' and streamlined as a whole unit) haven't bought penelope until now, only the messer but I might have to buy one just to complete the set

@@andreassetiawan7773 the Penelope is a beast of a kit. It is hollow in places, but I don't fault for the obvious reasons. In some places its a brick but still has good mobility. The accessories are mostly on the kit itself with only the rifle being separate. I definitely recommend getting it.

Personally, I really don't like either design. I'd still take the Nu Gundam over both.

@@iampoch01 Yeah, over-the-top and massive mecha designs aren't for me. Like the ones Suzaku and kallen use in the final fight on the Code geass movie

I do prefer the katoki design rather than the movie version, it screams Xi Gundam

I guess since technology advances every year it's no suprising it will be a much smaller form of the flight unit with thr same power or even more

Victory is nothing, the Bugs from F91 also use the Minovsky craft, and even the child bugs appear to use it!

@@Boltscrapvictory uses a more advanced version, the minovsky flight system. Also the technology was lost for 20 years when the f99 was lost, and rediscovered during victory.

Also performance. Under gravity, the smaller mobile suits pretty much wiped the floor with the regular sized ones. Think hulked out Trunks not being able to hit Cell in DBZ, same situation.

@@stevencolon1723 They've been defying physics with some newtype magic and said fuck realism with every BS in unicorn or narative. The only reason why it's getting smaller on F91 is because it was made when the other MS are still quite small and before many people jump into the franchise making their own story and mobile suits

@@scylla4342 We should keep in mind that those OP Newtype gundams are extremely rare, usually unique prototypes. You see it happen in ZZ Gundam, where Judau prefers the outdated Zeta over the ZZ for atmospheric combat, cause the ZZ is too big and heavy. The Xi gundam mitigates it with the minoskvy flight system. Its techbobullshit, but its an explanation. In F91 it was mass produced MS vs mass produced MS for the most part, and the smaller ones outmanuvered them .

Char woulda asked does it come in red? Plus he had the sinanju ,stein and neo zong all big boys, imagine char with the psyco gundam 😱

@@666styxxx666 Those are pretty outdated tho. The 5th gen Gundams have funnel missiles that make i fields useless and apparently the mega particle cannons have a higher output than zz’s high mega.

@@RabbaniRosli isnt hathaway flash before unicorn?

@@unbournx Its afterward bruv. HF is in UC105 and Unicorn is in UC096. Kshatriya Repaired also used some improvised type of funnel missile which damaged Banshee N if I remember correctly.

@@RabbaniRosli oh is that so..thanks for the info..

Hear, hear!

I'd even request a comparison with a AA battery for us who are not into Gunpla yet, but are about to jump on the crayz

How much did you pay?

@@Pr4TheNPC nnjhgczss

@@Pr4TheNPC i bought mine over on kidz stations and it cost like 100 buckos but luckily there was a discount for 40% off so i basically bought it for 60

No

@@evoltblackhole8677 :(

@@evoltblackhole8677 why not

@@nemueru only children like MG.

@@BlueAmerican26 I never said anything about master grades, and if you seriously think that Mg's are for children then you need help

You got ton of money that's for sure

@@evoltblackhole8677 Probably be the only Gunpla purchase for a while lol.

Ouch...i feel your pain already

Hope you have some to spare for RG Hi Nu and HG Nightingale

@@ry0usama511 and RG Wing and HG gremory

mine was f91 mg 2.0

My first Gunpla Kit I'll be building is gonna be the HG GM Quel, once I buy two things I wanna get on Amazon first.

Imo this design is better than the ver ka redesign

Oh lol that's kinda explain the outrageous design

I personally liked the Katoki design. To each his own then.

New design looks more like Rebel's Mech.

@@YT-hates-my-Japanese-name Both versions look great to me.

I think it was postponed to 20th May

@@irfantastic2174 Maybe because of the time needed for the movie to be sent and verified by other countries I think?

@@papersparrow899 no it's because of the pandemic

The question is, will we finally get a good Gundam movie?

@@lpsoldin3162 depends on you...for me its a good gundam movie...with it brutal story its worth it....but maybe we need to watch to reevaluate

Too bad it's almost $200

I miss rerise.

I’ve seen build fighters and try, but always heard bad things about rerise.

@@justinberry6411 build divers season 1 was pretty meh. Rerise (divers season 2) was much better though. Took a very different dirrectiong and had a generally positive reception. Plus the core gundam is just an awesome concept even if it was just to sell model kits

@@justinberry6411 Those were probably about the OG Build Divers. Re:Rise is the vastly superior sequel of Build Divers.

@@VolticWind ah, ok. Thanks! Gonna give it a try then

dude, I was thinking the same thing

thats the novel version of Xi gundam

Except it's not a "new" version, this is how Xi Gundam originally looks, the robot damashii one is the redesign

@@ryuuohdeltaplus7936 well... not exactly. This version is a combination of the original novel design and the redesign where the more-alien aesthetics of the novel were used but the proportions and hexagons are from the redesign. However, this does take liberties from both interpretations and can stand by itself well on its own.

this xi gundam was intended to be designed like that, the mechanical designer wants it to look like two headed gundam and not using the game design(blue chest). yet this xi gundan was using the original design from the novel, and this whole gundam is designed by hajine katoki. so yeah basically this gundan is: - follow the most original design - default designed by Hajime Katoki aka Ver. Ka it looks ugly in the first few times, once u got over it via movie, u will start to love it, people often gets boring with casual skinny and big wings gundam already. thats why new design concept gundams always popular after a period of time. eg: unicorn gundam - plain and white, dont even have a gundam face. then people love its tranforming NTD mode. Gundam Exia - people complained its short and small face. then people love its awesome big GN sword slash. Gundam Barbatos - people complained its skinny and armorless weird look. then people loves its wild and brutal fighting style.

"Eh, they managed the dendrobium, they'll be fine"

It would probably go up you my knee lol

Standard PG size ish

Bandai said they wont make mg or rg versions of extremely large kits like the kshatriya due to the large molds. This is why the kshatriya hasn't had an mg or rg in 10 years.

@@501clonetrooper Bullshit,they literally can make MG Sazabi verka,so why not Xi and Kshatriya

@@hasefharris357 large molds, stability, lack of demand

Same...My brother and I have been getting those small no-grade kits from Wing and G-Gundam we used to build...then destroy by playing with em lol.

I really hope that katoki design doesn't go unused and gets turned into a mg ver ka, which would be absolutely insane (pretty much a pg in everything but name).

Of course i want to see 2 THICC Gundams kicking each others ass

@@christiandaniel3714 Bruh

@@IDKsndkgs no no hes right

You should definitely watch the movie. It was amazing

The designs of Penelope and Xi are horrifying I dont know what makes them seem that way but it just doesn't look like a hero'ish mobile suit but like a killing machine made for death

@@ocolusdan4274 that how it's supposed to be tho,they are killing machine not a saviour of humanity
