I have Parkinson’s and my doctor recommended modeling, for my dexterity. I’ve been collecting MP and 3rd party Transformers, so I found Flametoys, and then got into Gunpla. It’s relaxing and helps with my motor function.

My friend actually got me into Gunpla, he had built a couple and was like “dude, you should totally build one!” Picked up the granddaddy revive and my life has been a wonderful debt hole since! My first gunpla channel was you, it was your review for the RG Crossbone! Been a great ride since! :)

I remember walking past a hobby shop when I was a kid I was at a shopping centre and I walked past a hobby shop and I saw these insane robot figures, and it mesmerised me. I really wanted one but I was still young so I didn't get it. It was stuck in my mind for ages and after a while, I forgot about it, but I actually came across one of your videos and it all came back to me and I got my first kit then and I've been pretty engrossed in the hobby ever since. It has helped to get past quarantine and it's just calming in some aspects, and the satisfaction of the finished build is just amazing. The amount of things you can also do afterwards (painting/customising) is just mind-blowing as well.

I actually discovered gunpla while looking for masterpiece transformers, I immediately drew a connection between optimus prime's head and that of a gundam (I know I'm sorry sue me). I started with the HGBD Gundam 00 Diver and the 1/100 Gundam Barbatos. Now online I posted 2 other kits claiming them to be my first as I was ashamed of how they looked, cut out with nail clippers and I had a little sand paper lying around. It was always hard to actually get gunpla as it was either order it online or go 100+ km down to the nearest city (I live in rural Australia) to pick them up. At first they helped me build a bit more patience which actually started to translate over into my life. They kept me busy during covid and online schooling. But I hit a pretty rough patch with my mental health. I had 0 motivation to do anything. I lost relationships, I fell behind in school. I was always on the verge of giving up entirely. But I had gunpla, and having something to do, even if it was small, it gave me a sence of accomplishment that I was severely lacking in life. Starting from that, I was pull myself out of that massive all encompassing void. This was around a month ago that i seriously began to focus on my health. As of now, I've built around 50 or so (at least one of each major grade) and I would go as far to say that the each played a part in saving my life. Now I know that might sound stupid or dumb but I treasure each of these kits more than I can say. So yeah, that's a basic summary of what they mean to me. Thanks for reading if you got this far! Idk if anyone wants to ask me about this but I'd be more than happy to share

I caught my son at about 3am building something in our dining room and although first irritated at the time I further inspected what it was he was building and now currently can’t get enough of Gunpla!!! I also now have dedicated an entire room to building Gundam kits. Watching the Gundam series and movies as well as all the great Gunpla content on YouTube is how I spend an extreme amount of time. Thanks to my son!!!! Oh and by the way, I’ve found myself up at 3 am building Gundam kits on more than one occasion.

Honestly It was Jobby The Hong and him talking about Iron blooded orphans and so I got curious and watched it, then rewatch it again after falling in love with the series. So after that I wanted to build a Gundam frame so I bought the hgibo astaroth origin built it, then customized it and ever since then I've been loving gunplay.

[kamenmaximus]

I got in to gunpla after being a little kid surfing youtube aimlessly looking at cool robot stuff and stumbling across the franchise, I grew up a bit, found out more about it, and eventually started building, I'm not good by any stretch of the word but it's just fun. Gunpla to me is a process, I put work into the figure and I get enjoyment directly from that work, the build, and the end product. Gunpla has unironically changed how I look at action figures

[joshloggins]

I’ve always loved seeing some of the customizations builders have done. To me, it means a lot because it’s a form of art, and for a lot of us, it’s something that brings us joy, and peace.

I remember watching Gundam Wing when it first hit Toonami back in the day. I recorded every episode I could and would re-watch them over and over again. And then one day I was walking through my local grocery store and saw one of the old no grade wing kits. I was so excited that I asked my mom to get it for me and after about 10 minutes of begging, she agreed and got it for me. It was the Sandrock And I played with it so much. Then I started going on the Internet and learn there was more than just Gundam wing. Looking at all the designs pulling up on my 56K modem was just awesome and made me fall in love with the franchise as a whole.

I remember the night I first laid my eyes on a Gundam. It was an afternoon in a local anime store, they had a massive Gundam wall and my interest piqued instantly. It was like a part of my conscious had been unlocked to the sheer possiblities Gunpla provides. I was an early middle schooler at the time, the next time I went out with my mother I bought the Zeta Plus. I had no clue how to build kits, so I popped every part out with hand and got cut up a few times. While the product looked like I intentionally messed it up, I was so proud of what I was able to do and I have been going down and down the rabbit hole since

[sukhoisu-]

Stumbled across one at a toy store, instantly hooked, it means the world to me and I am not giving it up anytime soon.

[matthewrobledo]

This is a long shot, but seriously, your reviews got into this hobby, every time I finish a kit it gives great satisfaction and makes me feel like a pro collector

[Serom_]

Long story short: I always loved building, starting with legos, then discovered gundams anime and merchandise thanks to my brother. The first Gundam reviewers I subscribed was rrobert184. Then when I was at the age of having a pair of nippers and to build more advanced kits, I started gunpla. First gunpla: RG Unicorn, a very enjoyable Build for me

[johnlegend]

Mecha Gaikotsu actually got me into Gunpla lol. The passion of the builds, the in-depth reviews of all the gimmicks, poses, movements, and his accent all kinda hooked me 😅

[israelcintroniii]

This channel got me into Gunpla I came across your channel while I was away from my family living in a hotel in NYC while being on orders to help with the COVID 19 pandemic early 2020 ever since I’ve built a kit almost every week and I do them with my son so to me it’s something that keeps my mind off the negative and something I hope my son enjoys when he gets older I don’t want to be in the contest since I have this kit and accessory pack I thought I would just share thanks for this channel and thanks for helping me get into a hobby that I love and can share with my family.

[trainerfrosty]

I saw it on youtube and i just wanted one. I bought my first kit, mg 00 raiser(it was because it was the first gundam anime i had watched. They build process is calming and the end product is just so mesmerising. There is also the mindset that the next kit is gonna be the last because of financial problems but... you cant stop (videos like these are also a reason😂).

[dankeydonk]

When I was sick and stuck in the hospital ibo just came out and when I watched the first couple of episodes I was hooked on gundam, and then I discovered that there where models of the barbatos and when I got it in my hands I fell in love, and for the past couple of years I have just been hooked on gunpla, which has never seemed boring to me no matter what was going on in my life

[miguelsanz]

My cousin’s boyfriend showed up one day with a hg strike freedom and he introduced me to the hobby. Never thought there were things this complicated that anyone can fully build and customize to their liking

[balderdasq]

I got into gunpla more or less on a whim. I was getting into the anime through 0079, and decided to try out building Char’s Zaku just for the heck of it. About 2 months later I’m having a hard time finding the space to put all my models.

[UNOwen-hxol]

I grew up watching Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Macross and Transformers because my dad is a huge giant robot fan, so I ended up becoming one too. It was until my teenage years that I watched the original Gundam, and I just fell in love with it. I didn't know about the kits yet, though.
Years later, I was browsing youtube as usual, and came across your review of the Unicorn Gundam, clicked on it, and was amazed by how intricate and cool looking it was, so I saved some money and got myself the Dynames.
It's been an amazing ride since then, I finally found something I genuinely enjoy.
Thank you, Mecha.
