Thanks for watching!

people are used to seeing the katoki's xi gundam as kinda the norm, and some even complain about this movie design, but this design is closer if not the same as the novel version (some didnt even know that). i like it. i dont mind it at all.

[AssaultFlamingo]

Honestly I prefer the mostly white design. Gives it a different, eerier vibe than the usual MC Gundam color scheme.

[Robo-kznr]

I do love the fact that it's basically a more modernized version of the original novel design

[wisdoom]

Hey, it's the gundam with an oversized jacket!

[seanswader]

I’ve mentioned it before in other places that I’m pretty sure the reason the name was changed is because when you google search Hathaway’s Flash, you get mostly images of a different Hathaway getting out of a car and her lady bits are on full display.

[gundam]

Future Gundam designs should be as ambitious as the Xi Gundam.

I think my favorite thing about the XI Gundam has always been the head. EVERY VERSION!!! The head just looks cool with it's long side burns, the sharp green eyes, the small face, the fucking hulking red forehead bulge, and that V-fin straight up looking like ram horns that came from a rabbit instead of a ram. Sure some might complain about the long neck, but hey it works for what it is and I doubt it would look could with a regular neck. Or whatever you'd call regular in Gundam standards.

[drKamishirasawa]

its funny that every one is complaining how they didnt like the movie version of xi but Shuko Murase's [the director of the movie] order was to "de-gundamfy" the Xi, this was a difficult request because the mecha designers were used to draw Gundams all the time, so it took many tries.

[sawysauce]

The all white on both the Penelope and the XI are what really makes the designs stand out because when you look at them you get lost and it takes you a moment to find the head and the hands and the feet but when everything is color coded you just look at it and think “oh yep that’s a gundam I know exactly what that is, absolutely no mystique or mystery that’s definitely a gundam because it’s chest is blue.”

[HPZNE]

I know it was a long time ago and it was definitely a widely different era for Bandai, but if we once got a MG Perfect Zeong, I'll never stop hoping for a MG Xi Gundam.

[anselgatus]

Ngl, the flight form is something that I like.

[lynKx]

I'm waiting for someone to mention how awesome the upper arms look. And I'm not talking about the big doritos, I'm talking about what's beneath them. It's so detailed

[Simon-hzjl]

Thanks for this review sir!
I disliked this design at first but it has grown on to me since it sort of represent Xi’s role.
The abundance of white reminds me of the Nu while its intimidating silhouette gives of Sazabi vibes.

Why I can hear the ost in my head


For some reason, this gundam is perfect for a Live Action Movie

[justinl]

I really like this design of the Xi, especially after seeing it in action. And the kit itself is, from all the reviews a pretty solid & playable rendition. The only disappointing thing is that those missile effect parts are exclusively in a bundle that's prohibitively expensive in the current climate.

That said still much, MUCH cheaper that the Ka Signature Robot Damashii(s) that go for a fucking arm & leg in the used market.

[exvaran]

Not sure if you've noticed but there are runner switches for the head/chest parts, so there is a possibility that we'll get the GGen version in the future

[dobbear]

Finding this kit for less than the price of a kidney is nigh impossible... I love the designer and really want XI and Penelope kits ...

[steveshams]

I love it! Can't wait for mine to come in. I would be all for a MG of this. The beefiness would put the Sazabi to shame.

[kuznecoffjames]

My first impression was that this kit looked like it was wearing a goofy poncho. Based on your posing, it actually looks pretty good now!

[MCMXCI]

I honestly had no real opinion on this kit before seeing it all built up, but now I'm super impressed with it! Love the flight mode and the dope double beam sabers. Definitely gonna have to save up and grab this Big Ξhungus.
