HG Aerial Rebuild Review + Trying Out Some Different Backpacks 

Rebuilt body for Eri? Hmmmmmm

Spoilers!

@05:46 FINALLY!!! It's Confirmed: Aerial Rebuild's Backpack IS COMPATIBLE with the OG Aerial- and despite the Bit Stave Escutcheon Pegs on the Aerial and Aerial Rebuild are different, still customizing both Aerials will do ... Hope Bandai NAMCO will regular release the Aerial Rebuild's Backpack and weapons systems set for the OG Aerial, it'll be great 😃 👍

If Eri Rebuild had come with open palm hands... would there have been a red sticker for one of them?

Ikr, Bandai's human character kits are now on the same level as their mech kits

@@kakarot197 pfffffffftttt. 🤣

WFM in general seems to pick from all over gundams history to create a sort of greatest hits series.

the backpack caters to the Wing brainrot on me, too, and it does have that "Hyper Mode" flair for G Gundam lovers

yeah they do look out of place. for me it looked like it was inverted. and i very much preferred that they use the same fin array as the ones on the back of the thighs instead of the claw like look

Probably try the Graze from IBO for a non UC kit it feels very UC to me

Not Kakarot but if I may, the Unicorn Zeon HGs (Kshatriya, Sinanju, the Zulus) are all pretty good if you don't mind the pattern stickers! The CCA Geara/Jagd Doga kits are also solid, and there are always the Nightingale and Sazabi. Other personal favourites are the Zudah, Hygogg, R-Jarja and Doven Wolf, all great designs that break the Zaku-Dom-Gouf mold.

@@pheonix_soldier wich one of the graze opitions? I already build the regular one and there is a lot of opitions for what I saw

@@AssaultFlamingo thanks I will look into then when HBJ decides to restock them some day

i am getting the feeling, that as non uc shows go on, there mobile suit designs usually become more traditional or katokie inspired. Usually to there detriment as seen with season 2 of gundam 00 or seed destiny as an example.

Why do so many people emphasize that??

agree the stomach area of the rebuild looks so bland compared to aerial

Gotta use the ones from the Mirasoul pack.

Not sure if troll or genuinely not there

​@@miragebangbravern2024 I mean, they're not wrong...

@@Echo_419 How? All of the WFM kits have really good articulation so it doesn't make sense

@@miragebangbravern2024 compare how many color-correcting stickers the HG GM has when compared to the Aerial Rebuild. DrVinylScratch isn't referring to the entire WfM line, JUST the Aerial Rebuild.

@@Echo_419 Even then though, the HG Aerial Rebuild's stickers aren't a whole lot especially compared to other kits especially when one of them is optional because you can just use the printed parts. Compare this to something like HG G-Self, that's a blessing

To be honest what they revealed as it relates to Aerial was something I thought we'd have seen in IBO, but then it never happened and instead showed up in WfM. Not that it doesn't make sense there given elements of the setting just that several things in IBO had me thinking about it as something that may have come up until it didn't.

@@reeseolsen4052 you meant Ein Dalton who's brain was installed into the Gundam Kimaris Vidar right?

@@vustvaleo8068 Not quite but that was one thing that had me thinking about what WfM ended up doing. Gundam does have loosely similar instances in UC with the Blue Destiny & Phenex. It was mostly down to me thinking up until the series ended & Hajiroboshi was revealed alongside Urd Hunt with that being the last of IBO. I had been reading bits about the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia as S1 progressed. Found that Marchosias had 2 forms, a human form akin to that of a man while the winged wolf was more akin to that of a female. Around this time I happened across Darling in the Franxx. Given how that series had a certain machine with 2 pilots I also thought about how ALICE worked for the S Gundam. Given IBO's angle with the MAs you couldn't quite just throw in an AI but what if you had another human either physically present (which as all the G Frames are 1 person outside of a large alteration wouldn't work) or a soul in the machine so to speak that could act as copilot so on and so forth. Going further because Marchosias had a slight connection with Hashmal I had the idea of taking its head as a shield with a beam cannon to fit the whole spewing something foul from its mouth bit while having two separate minds running a machine in synch would fit Marchosias being described as a strong fighter. If you've seen WfM then you'll know the scene where Prospera is talking about A(Eri)al and given how IBO had the whole thing where some of humanity had an aversion toward things like prosthetics & the whiskers of the Alaya Vijnana. What if there had been a reason as to why there was such an aversion toward it either through Gjallarhorn or someone else unless something had happened in the Calamity War such as with the Gundam Frames, intentional or not, that they didn't want out of their control.

same here, one of the major things i loved about the og aerial is its feminine physique. i miss seeing it in the anime 😢

Are we talking show or model kits?

@@spyroclone152 kits

@Lone Wolf I don't know man, think the new kits we've gotten are super solid. Probably some of the best HG's I've built that's for sure.

@@spyroclone152 Yeah the construction is a lot more solid than the IBO gundam frames. Though those could always be fixed by gluing shut halves that go together and tightening joints with paint or nail polish.

@@spyroclone152 the line started out really strong, but the kits are becoming increasingly flimsier, less articulated and the sticker sheets size is exploding.
