Adam builds his first ever Gundam model (aka Gunpla)! In partnership with Bandai Namco Collectibles, Bandai Spirits, and the Gundam Online Expo 2021, Adam and the Tested team put together the incredible PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED RX-78-2 GUNDAM model kit, admiring its beautiful interior mechanical frame design and iconic exterior Gundam armor. Adam is stunned by the detail of the model's parts and the precision of the pieces that satisfyingly snap-fit together!

“Man starts his Gunpla experience with the literally most complex kit ever, does things perfectly, cherishing every moment of it”
-
“Chain molding”, by which each piece is stepped into the casting process. Hardest durometer plastics first cast and strategically coated with release agent. Then oriented into the secondary piece’s mold for casting a functional joint. They revolutionized even the ways that THEY developed years ago. Mind you, it’s all being processed under high heat AND temps.
-
"They make the building experience so pleasurable" That's it, that's the joy of gunpla. People are so in love with building it they keep adding stuff like scribing (adding more deep lines), repainting, adding extra parts (kitbash), making body part longer or shorter, adding electric parts and more. It's just that addicting.
-
Mans' first GUNPLA build is one of the biggest and most time consuming models you can buy. I really want to see him do more of this to be honest.
-
What a freaking smart move from Bandai Namco. They just NAILED their North American target demographic so precisely with this partnership.
-
really love Adam's reaction on the leg inner-frame!! XD
-
As an American Gunpla builder for over 20 years this is the exact content you want to see. Someone really experiencing the overwhelming joy, and awe of a Gundam kit. Especially someone who can really explain the extraordinary science and engineering behind these kits. The thrill still comes with each new build. Hoping to see Gundam popularity growing more and more in the US for generations to come.
-
Even if he's amazed with the complexity and quality of the engineering, I wonder what's his reaction gonna be when he gets into more "simplistic" grades, like Real Grade or even High Grade, that are not only smaller but much more simplified (High grades don't even have inner skeletons) and still manage to achieve nice levels of poseability and detail. Gunpla really is a one way trip. There's no going back.
-
I'm all for a new "Adam does Gunpla" segment. I love that you're fascinated by the mechanics and intricate engineering of it all. It's the very same thing that got me into the hobby in the late 90's. And it's just become even better in the last 20 year's.
-
"It's a mobile suit... IT'S A GUNDAAAAAAAM!" As a Gundam fan, you have no idea how much I'm geeking out right now... XD
-
I love how Adam's nerding out is unable to catch up with the tech behind it. Love the genuine reactions. This is why I build Gunplas, I get to experience what Adam is going through 😂
-
As a lifelong Gunpla fan this was an absolute joy to watch. Would love to see Adam visit the builders World Cup to see in person just how deep the rabbit hole goes so to speak ❤
-
RIP to his soul. The late Grant Imahara probably would've loved to build one of these with Adam. His love for robotics and Adam's love of building creative things would've made this moment even more so amazing. If you were there with Adam, Grant, I hope you enjoyed seeing this Kit and seeing his pure joy/excitement throughout it all.
-
welcome to the club. Now there are two options: - You gonna hate it. - You will love it so much you'll never stop buying them.
-
He started with perfect grade 😭
-
Man after years of building 40k and fantasy kits from sprues, this is truly incredible. I can’t believe how much detail and how posable these things are. And no glue required all snap fit. Japanese people are crazy. They put so much love and effort into things.
-
When you see a man who has made crazy contraptions that do anything from picking things up to blowing them up, its a fun thing to see Adam get so excited to put together a mobile suit model kit.
-
Is it just me, or does anyone else what the full recorded footage of them building this thing? Seeing Adam having fun with Gunpla is wonderful.
-
I love how Adam bright up like a kid with each part assembly. And the "All your base are belong to us" just threats you to his nerdy geeky personality. This guy is one of my favorite persons.
