Fun fact! For the gunpla that have the led light function that is connected to the base (mainly the unicorn line), the motherboard that controls the timer and what sequence the lights turn on is NOT part of the lights installed in the gundam but instead is located at the base. Essentially, if you cut off the wire connecting to the battery pack and connect it with a suitable volt adaptor (the only one i know is 6.0 volts for the unicorn line), you can have all the lights turned on for however long you want with just a flick of the switch! And its easy to change too!

I recommend the PG GP01, you can build either the GP01 or GP01FB, its just an armor and core fighter swap, so they make it easy to switch it up. The core fighters are cool as hell. It has spring loaded verniers all over the place in FB mode, and it comes with a display hangar type stand you can use to display the extra armor and weapons. The articulation is great, the inner frame is awesome, it’s got the moving pistons and stuff. Absolutely grab one if you can find it. The only issue is that it’s construction is a bit like the Ex-S Gundam, with some screws, but the end result is worth it.

The build was kinda scary because the wiring is tedious while the plastic is not the best( it’s so brittle that it causes stress marks when I attached the chest armor and the feet). The wings are fragile while the hips on mine wobbles a lot (the die cast ball point that’s inserts between the waist so that the legs can connect should have been one piece with two ball joints on each sides). However, it’s still a beautiful kit and is ironically my favorite. I still recommend it to any wing fans but objectively, it’s not the best Pg.

@@abrohm2983 yes, and no, in terms of real grades a psycho gundam is cool, and overdue, but it’s also not *necessary* it’s from a series that has gotten a lot of love, and has an oversimplified transformation. I’d say something Sentinel is kind of required at this point because the technology has come so far that not fixing the wrongs that were the RG Z and pretty much the entire seed line is kind of a crime. It’s a bounty of miraculous designs even in a detached sense from the shows Gundam Sentinel and Hathaway were my prime examples because their not normal, and most real grades we’ve gotten are. Now that the line is stable and working it’s way into becoming more PG like we need Bandai to re-explore the more ambitious designs like Z, Ex-S, Xi, Penelope, G Mk-V, etc these designs need their justice. Psycho gundam is great and all, but in essence it is a bigger RX-179, and that’s it, so yes I needs to be a thing, but I think it can take a back burner

Please do a pre-Strike PG sometime. Your perspective on retro kits is always super interesting. MK-II seems to be the fan favorite, and having built GP-01, I think you'd really enjoy it, especially with the painting potential they have, if you ever feel up for it. The build times if you go all out absolutely crush anything comparable we see from Bandai today, so there's a really good value there for those interested.

I only have four perfect grades so far and this is just my personal least favorite to favorite. 4. Pg wing Zero custom. It looks good if you like more of a classy look, but I hate the build. If you don’t like screws then you’re going to hate it. The amount of screws it has will drive you mad. Plus you’re going to have to do the LED assembly. And obviously the worst part is that it don’t come with a stand. And the last thing is that the plastic feels a bit brittle. 3. The original pg RX-78-2. Again it had a very classic look to it and not a lot of detail on the armor. But there are two things about it that I just love about it. It it really does feel like a 1/60 robot and to be in a frame is drop dead gorgeous. No I don’t feel like something you would want to play around a lot it’s mostly just something to look at. 2. The pg 00 raiser. For me I actually do like it a little bit more than you do in my opinion. Not only the clutch joints suck but they are useless. Especially the one for the wrist. You’re never going to use that joint. Now I don’t dislike it as much as you did but still. My biggest problem with it is that I don’t quite feel like a perfect grade. I just feel like a 1/60 MG. It doesn’t have the most detailed inner frame I’ve seen and the legs to fall off quite a bit when you move them. However my favorite part about it is the possibility. It’s actually the only perfect grade where I like to pose it a lot. It’s just too bad they didn’t come with a stand. I’m not joking he original one (not the Trans Am version) not comes with a stand. 1. Pg banshee norn. It’s solid, (except for the ankle) It looks great in both modes, and the accessories are really good. But there are three things that I don’t like. One are the hands. The ball joint should’ve been a rotation. Because the weapons troops down easily. The full armor add-on came with trigger fingers which was awesome but I don’t have it so you know. And I also hate the connection for the big shield. The connection for is just too small and it does feel like it could snap at any moment. No just a two things I want to warn you. 1. old perfect grades until the strike gundam came with a bunch of screws and LED Assembly and if you’re not a fan of those then you’re going to hate it. 2. The old perfect grades may look out dated compared to modern kits and they’re not that poseable. The best attraction the older ones is that if you are an expert at painting the smallest little details to make it look real then you’re gonna be in heaven. They also feel like collector items. Not something to mess around with a lot. But if you’d like to pose your kits a lot then Buy the newer ones. The next perfect grade that I want to get is either the Gundam Mk-II the strike freedom or the pg Gundam Exia. If I had to recommend A perfect grade for you to build it would possibly be the Gundam RX-78 GP01/FB. It pretty much has everything that it needs. Bottom line is that I don’t think none of the perfect grades are bad it just comes down to how much you want. Except for the PG Evangelion. Avoid that one.

Unless you want to give yourself a power screw hassle and potentially have a spring getting lost from flying, definitely avoid perfect grades before the pg strike. Especially with the zeta ver ka, you don't need a pg zeta for transformation. For an all around good, affordable kit, get any of the strikes. Better to start with the rouge, so if later you want to upgrade, you can get the perfect strike and avoid same colors. For shelf presence get pg strike freedom (make sure you get replacement parts). Being able to spread the wings is a massive plus

I have: Strike Gundam ×2, Skygrasper, P Bandai Perfect Strike weapons set, Astray Red Frame, Banshee Norn, P Bandai Banshee Weapon set, Gundam MkII, RX78-2 Unleashed. Most of them are partially built, except for one of the Strikes and the MkII, which are both great kits. The MkII has plenty of opening hatches, hydraulics, springs and a not-overly-complex LED system. Being an old kit, there is quite a few screws which could be a turn off for some. My advice is use a powered screwdriver, because if you don't get the screws all the way in, you'll end up with loose joints. The P-Bandai Banshee set is a good buy, because it comes with those cool weapons from the Banshee's first appearance (which I prefer to the rifle and shield), sexy gold waterslide decals, and a miniature Marida Cruz figure. I'm building the Unleashed at the moment, and it is awesome. Actually a little simpler than the other PGs I've worked on. Two main gripes: No waterslide decals included, and it would have been awesome if they included duplicate eye/camera lenses so that you could swap between stickered and translucent parts. I don't want to cover the LED parts with stickers, but the eyes are very dark when not lit up.

I find the pg strike as the best perfect grade. A fun build, great balance, great poseability and great for anyone's wallet. And even if your aiming for the perfect strike, considering the amount of items, options, detail improvement and the stand, it's pretty much at a considerable price. I'm even surprised that it is only a bit more expensive than the unicorn, and that's without counting the led and the frustration of installing the led. The red frame on the otherhand is surprisingly underwhelming. The poseability from the waist down is a bit hindered by some of the armor. Which is ironic.

I'd say the strike Rouge is a step above, the subtle rose and pink color and the insane decals are amazing.

Unicorn is only better if you like the OVA. Exia poses better, has better joints, and is prettier. I’ve heard that the PG wing zero custom is amazing, but it’s super dated as far as construction… but… METAL JOINTS!!, and the PG Eva 01 is was the best PG out there for a long time.. pretty much until the exia. Both are no longer printed so good luck finding them. Wing zero custom is about $300 right outta shiozuka, and unit 01 is about $100 more. For that price you might as well get a “NEWG” resin kit.

I don't have any PG kits yet cos they cost a fortune and take up a lot of space. That doesn't mean there aren't ones i'd like to have, but realistically i can only get one. The original RX-78-2, Zaku 2 (MP or Char) a Mk 2 (can't decide which), GP01/FB, Exia or Unicorn. If i HAD to trim those down; Grandpa or Exia. One's the classic while the other's a favourite.

The old PG Zaku does suffer from some unfortunate seam lines, but the inner frame more than makes up for it. It has pistons on pretty much every joint.

Hmm you are missing Strike Freedom, Wing Zero Custom and Double Katana Astray Red frame, these are pretty cool too, but my favorite is definitely the unleashed RX-78. Unless they do a unleash Infinite Justice that would be my dream.

Hey Mecha, you rated the Perfect Strike as double Gold before, since you now have Platinum tier would you say that its Platinum tier or do you stand by double Gold?

Hi Mecha, My personal top 2 would be the Astray Red on 2 and the Strike Rouge on 1. Partially for the same reasons as your own ranking. The Astray doesnt have a stand, even though the hip section is the same, and would fit on the already existing stand that comes with the Strike Rouge or separate Skygrasper. The Strike Rouge was my 1st, and i absolutely love the Perfect grade Strike inner frame. That kit is insanely awesome. Its pretty much just a recolored Strike with an Aile strike pack and an action base. I love it for all the same reasons you love your Strikes. Finding out the Astray was based on it, i had high hopes, but it honestly was quite disappointing instead. A lot of motion features in that frame are unused for the Astray, and simply covered up with plates. Sometimes not even fully covered. When the Astray bends a knee, you can see unused C clips inside that would cause more armor separation on the knee in the Strike. All through the build, it kinda feels like an afterthought, and the new parts for the Astray, are weirdly unsatisfying. The big shoulderplates show undetailed construction pins when the arm even slightly raises. Almost high grade level. On a Perfect grade, that is inexcusable to me. In any normalish poses, the model still looks great though, and it was super cheap for a Perfect grade. If i ever find the Skygrasper set separately, i'll be getting that for the Astray, mostly just for the stand. The Aile strike pack almost fits in its back. It even has the same torso inner frame in cluding the unused polycap to attach the wings. Just needs to get rid of its own tiny pack and a little filing of the back groove they seemingly intentionally made half a milimeter not wide enough to fit the Aile strike pack right out of the box... All in all, that Astray has some weird decisions in the kit. I'm still waiting for a Strike Freedom to arrive at some point, then i can make a top 3😅 Anyway, i love all your reviews. Got into gunpla fairly recently and you certainly helped me on my path! Thats enough from me. Thanks again for the detailed breakdowns in all the reviews!

make sure you get the metal replacement parts for the pg strike freedom. I do recommend the strike rouge over the other ones since you can always upgrade later to the pg perfect strike and avoid duplicates. Strike freedom overall probably has the best shelf presence. Avoid pre strike pgs unless you want powered bolts and springs getting lost

I want a perfect grade...barnatos Lupus so bad... But out of them all, frankly, i love to have Rx78-2 which is the the least gundam design i ever like. For some reason, when it come to pg rx78-2, i just couldn’t complain...and fall in love with grand daddy gundam for the first time, and could be the last time.

are you sure PG exia doesn't get full articulated finger? for as I remember mine, it has... but i agree the LED unit is a crap, it's double the price and only work with AA battery. Mine replaced by MJH Led Unit for only 24.5usd! Cheap! and it has micro usb port to power the led. The quality? not perfect but really good. the cable are colored red an black like it got from old junk. it's too long at the base and inside the head, but as i remember it easy to fix. other than that, it's same as bandai.
