HGUC Hi-Nu Gundam - Char's Counterattack HG gunpla model review

[immrgrunty1363]

hmm, i wonder if i could put the wing binders on the unicorn...

[DarkShadowOblivion]

I hate how you need to buy 3 of these just so one can come somewhat close to the MG.

[90sHeroMAXD]

I have the Master Grade I loved it. Its a shame I cannot find the funnel energy beams or the plastic rods to make it use the funnels. :(

[JohneAwesome]

can i attach a action base to this kit?

[vitzrsx]

@JohneAwesome Yes, there's a polycap at the base of the waist.

[suburiboy]

Cool. I just ordered the GPB Hi-nu; I feel like the color scheme is a bit more lead gundam ish

[mastermanchief21]

can you place this on a 1/144 action base?

[00gundamreviews]

@mastermanchief21 since its a 1/144, of course.

[oikosu]

thx for sharing, pls continue your work!

[wittyazn]

its left wing funnels are reversed. the blue is suppose to overlap the white.

but im sure you already knew that ;)

[luuk341]

this will sound weard but i dont care fore th mg i jus collect hg 1/144 great detail and saving space :D i nu will be my pride

1/144 HG NG HGUC FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bye

[darkjohn95]

hey the stickers at the waist are dry transfer decals omg i thought they were normal stickers and just sticked it it on

[masaya5656]

how do you line so good and line so thing?

[imaqtlolz]

im a sucker for any gundam with wings

[DarkChroniam]

The blue part in the center of the shield. Is that something you have to paint? or does the shield come in parts of 2 or 3 with white and blue to put together.

[rasendori16]

according to wikipedia, if this is not

THE most powerful mobile suit in the franchise, then it is definetely one of the most powerful suits in the entire gundam metaseries!

[Glyre777]

@rasendori16 Of course it's powerful...but it's not a god. UC suits depend more on their pilots than the suit itself...of course, a good suit DOES make a difference...but it isn't like in SEED and 00 where the pilots can win BECAUSE of the suits they are in.

For instance, if Amuro was in a Jegan and a grunt pilot was in the Hi-Nu, Amuro would still win.

[rasendori16]

@Glyre777 first off you are right that a good pilot makes a big difference no matter how powerful the suit is but is isn't just that way with the newtypes in UC, what about coordinators and SEED mode in SEED and what about super soldiers and innovators in 00. and second i am not saying that no matter who is in the cockpit the hi nu gundam will trump all, i'm just stating the fact that the suit itself is considered to be one of the most powerful in the franchise, and nothing more.

[broodjebamibal]

Thinking about getting this, but im not sure. I have enough suits with flashy backpacks and maybe I should just go with something simpleer.

[junkwarrior99]

@broodjebamibal take rx-78-2. XDD

[AsianTaeHyun]

What do you think is more worth it? An expensive cost of $73 for the MG Hi Nu or $23 for the HGUC Hi Nu?

[wtfcrazywtfx]

maybe we can expect hg and mg nightingale to come out

[rrobbert184]

for the dry decals, cut around them, then line them up and tape them down exactly where you want them. then rub over them with a toothpick or something like that a fair bit. when you take off the backing, peel it slowly, so you can see if it all transferred to the gundam, and if not, put it back down and repeat. good luck!

[junkwarrior99]

@rrobbert184 hmm........ so the decal on this gundam is dry decal?

[marvel654]

Who drive this Gundam ? Amuro or Char?

[xxLelouchxx67]

hmm...I'm pretty darn satisfied with my HGUC Hi-Nu...I got no problems with it. I don't really care about the fin funnels cuz I don't have a stand that doesn't take up a lot of space for them. The legs balance nicely on mine and I used glue to tighten the waist so it doesn't sag backwards. Great review though, hoping to see the HGUC Unicorn sometime soon too.

[lyjacknt]

or cut the waste shorter and cement it together

[tsukashigiro]

good thing about hg is they dun hv much stuff and the parts would not fall easily unlike my 00 raiser gundam designer version i dun dare to touch my 00 cuz i scared the gn sheild will drop and the gn drive

[jabman025]

Hi Nu Gundam Master Grade drove me nuts, great kit but can be a pain to work with

[mrcapcom]

So many kits so little time I like this one though especially since the MG is so much :-(

[Deathscythehell85]

So Hi-nu gundam is in the manga,does that mean the nightingale is manga or is it a separated story?

[Yukikazehalo]

Hi-nu and Nightengale are both from Beltorchika's Children, which is a novel.

[xfreedomgundamx]

its nightingale

[LemtemPoktui]

Where can i see the novel online?

[TWSFreedom2306]

Again, another great video review again. I think I gonna get the Hi Nu then Nu!

[NovaHyou]

Great review, everybody mentions the fin funnels not being fully articulated (for me, it was obvious since the moment the HG was announced), but for me the most important thing you said was the chest bending backwards because of the weight in the back, didn't like that aspect. Maybe you could glue the waist, but that would imply losing articulation.

Btw, could you do a small video about how to apply dry decals? the waterslide are easier (and more expensive) but the dry ones can be a problem

[rrobbert184]

i'll see what i can do about dry decals. i don't know if i have any kicking around though :)

[xfreedomgundamx]

how much was this?

[rrobbert184]

it costs 2200 yen.

[tyandem4ever]

Is there a slot for an action base?

[JTAZN]

Hi-nu was Amuro's last gundam. It's a good one too.

[fosskers]

man, you should have done a size comparison with reborns gundam

[rrobbert184]

is it because Reborns Gundam is so awesome?

[JTAZN]

Well not in that sense. I love reborns. Amuro's last physical gundam was hinu. Then Ribbons who had amuro's voice actor piloted the reborns. :) I love both and im hoping for a Reborns MG someday haha.

[fosskers]

It`s a toss-up between Reborns and Hi-nu for me now

Ooooo but the GN drives....

[tyrannicoystercult]

hg kits are only about 15 bucks

[windrarjs]

the mg version's awesome... but the fin funnels are kinda annoying when you display them in flight mode

[long2603]

Nice review 5 star for u, but y dun u get the mg version? that is very nice too

[mattdriver12]

.....0:20.....

[TheGoldenWater]

hi-nu is indeed awsome

[jelo1611]

great review...I have the MG ver and yeah it's awesome

[Skiwiddle]

LMAO i love the ending!!!!

[albertoxFTW]

fintional upgrades i dont get it?

[ZR0Ver2]

Its Amuro's best Gundam but it was only in the novel. In the novel the Nu gundam was upgraded to Hi-Nu bacause they had time to test it.

The Nu gundam however is Amuro's last official gundam, as seen in the movie Chars Counterattack.

[choasloard97]

do u know where i can read the manga? or what the manga is called?

[Tri3dgE027]

google it, plus it isn't a manga but a novel.

Its title can be scene on the video description.

[GNSquacker]

NICE ENDING 5/5

[OrionPax9]

This is one of the most recent kits I built and its amazing!

[DuskRed]

lol nice review the ending was cute xD

[Monkerr]

lol great review. Keep up the funny endings.

[suiton629]

pretty cool. can't wait for the review on the master grade version...

[GNStimo]

Nice review as ever robert! Can't wait for the MG review ^^

[darvenung]

My left arm keeps coming off when i turn or bend it :(

[christophergowing]

which gundam series is this from ??

[Kefkaownsall]

A novel by Tomino called. Beltorchika's Children.

[Kefkaownsall]

Um should I get this or the Nu Gundam HWS?

[SSDrei]

The HWS actually allows all Funnels to come off, and doesn't have the new, and in my opinion fugly, proportions of the Hi-Nu redesign.

[Songy]

If I were you I'd get the Hi-Nu. I have one too and I'm very pleased by it.

[cyberxspeed]

Now I'm tempted to get this model.

[steamburn123]

why are HGUC model kits more expensive than reg HG model kits?

[SSDrei]

They are better, more likely. More work tends to be put into it, especially the recent HGUC.

[Wizartar]

Great review!

LoL, talk about synchronicity. I just got the 1/100 MG Hi-Nu today, the box is as big as a PG, a PG and it's only 1/100!! Couldn't believe it. Looking forward to the comparison, was a little bummed to hear that there's no articulation of the wings with the 1/100.

Also there's a solid helmet on the 30th anny HG version. Although there's a slight join line that's easily removed with a little clean up.

[rrobbert184]

wizartar, the MG actually has joints for each fin funnel, so you can angle them individually. it's just the wing mounts themselves can only move side, not up and down like they do on the HGUC. have fun with the MG!

[Doudoudoudoudouduu]

I never understood why bandai keeps mounting shield on the back of the arm :O

[KiraXStrikeFreedom]

lol i really wonder if the freedom / strike freedom is based off this guy cuz it looks so much like it

[crapmunky99]

Great review, but I thought it felt a little rushed. Not a problem though, since you seemed to cover everything well enough. The two combined fin funnel assembly kinda sucks, but then again, since there's no way to actually display them in flight, it doesn't make much difference. I'm more annoyed by the all grey weapons. But still, I'd definitely get this if Bandai decides to make a HGUC Nightingale as well. (Fingers crossed!) ;D

Looking forward to seeing the MG!

[99tgstang]

hey rrobbert184 are you getting the PG 00 gundam?

[rrobbert184]

i am getting the PG 00 Gundam, for sure!

[99tgstang]

awesome i hope you do a review of it when it comes out! do you have any information on the model itself?

[rrobbert184]

i'll have a (very) quick vid about the PG 00 gundam up sometime this week.

[ChiSim768]

nice model
