I have the age kits. My first 3rd party kits. Felt like Bandai to me. Plus they cost like $9 where i was from way back in 2013. I also have the blue death scythe. All the tallgeese, and both launcher and sword plus the sky grasper pack to make the perfect strike. The exia repair, both destinies, and thr strike freedom metal build with wings, Death scythe hell TV version, and lastly the PG Unicorn (still not built). These kits were so cheap I got the PG for $44. Plus they were the closest to bandai's quality. No wonder why Bandai shut them down and ignored hongli and daban.
recently I build the HG Gerbera Tetra and i really love it all over again.. i wish i got all the DM kit since i only got almost all 2017 kit except Astray Blue Third 😐
I still have an unbuilt Gerbera Tetra as it is resting on pile of my backlogs for years now 😂. I got it cheap sometime ago along with the other DM HG kits. Nowadays, I havent seen any DM HG Kits being sold anywhere so consider your DM kits super rare 😂
i still have the 2 limited run strikes that have the impulse recolored runners, sky grasper, an extra sword and launcher weapon packs, extra strike for the perfect strike configuration, akatsuki and qubeley.. i think MC(Model Comprehend) brand was also theirs which released some ryuujinmaru kits long ago.. i have ryuujinmaru final form, ryuujjnmaru kai and that green majin..
Thank you very much. I think bootlegs are advantageous depending on where you are. In my area, there are overabundance of knockoffs and we can get them including shipping fee at a cost only similar to a retail price of Bandai High Grades
@@HyperWeaponHobby Makes sense! Personally I'd still get 3rd parties sufficiently different from existing Bandai models e.g. MG Akatsuki if I could actually find one😂
The DM Akatsuki is one of the outstanding 3rd party kit ever made out there. Ever since DM was shut down, their kits are becoming somewhat of legends that you rarely seen
I just ordered the Astray blue frame 3rd, I've been dreaming of snagging that kit ever since 2017. Luckily my job pays me well enough to justify my ridiculous purchase, but damn how I wish to have gotten my hands on atleast the akatsuki and destiny
Consider yourself fortunate to be able to get the last kit produce by DM. How I wished i was abpe to get mu hands on thay akatsuki and destiny too back in the days that those kits are all over the place with a very reasonable price
Ah yes the outframe and testament by DM. I have also seen these kits being release. People bought it and posted it and I thought theyre really bad@ss kits. I hold myself from getting any of those because of the due to the same mindset as yours, thinking thse kits especially DM kits will always stay in the market 😂😂😂.
@@HyperWeaponHobby I wanna propose a collaboration separate from our channel... We can sell our painted kits that we have reviewed thru shopee after doing a painted review. Pm me thru messenger.
I have some of their HG kits. Its unbuilt and its in mint condition. Particularly the Geminass 01 and 02 and some of the Age 1 kits. They were so cheap back then that i should have bought more. Now they are super duper rare I was planning to have these kits as a giveaways if my channel will ever be monetized 🤣🤣🤣
@@HyperWeaponHobbyYOOOOOO probably the coolest and rarest kits you have in your possession 🤤 That aside, really wishing for your channel to get monetized so all of that effort gets payed off😍 You're definitely getting there👌
Well, monetization of my channel is not anytime soon but I've been urging myself not to build those rare kits in my stockpile of backlogs (currently at 105 unbuilt kits as of this post) as those are the ones i'll be giving to my hardcore supporters as my token of appreciation and gratitude when I finally reach that youtube threshold
Wishful thinking. Dragon Momoko is one of those legendary things that will come and go once in a while. I am regretting I was not able to get some of their awesome kits while it was abundant and available back then
Lucky guy you 😂😂. If people would have known that DM was about to be shutdown, they would have grabbed their copies of those kits at their initial retail price.
Deym! You keep reminding me of some of the bad decisions I made when I was able to get my hands on those. Who knew at that time that DM would be shutdown and their kits will be extinct 🤣
Thank you so much for subscribing ☺️☺️☺️. Of course thats a good idea. Creating Gunpla series video of Gundams from their resoective timelines and world. Unfortunately, some of my collections are limited, like in IBO, i only have the HG Barbatos (6th form, Lupus, Lupus Rex) because Barbatos is thr Gundam I find appealing from that line as well in WFM where I only have one HG Aerial 😔. I usually am attracted to Main Suits but I hope I can also collect the rest
how unfortunate, but what if collect photos online for gunplas that u don't have? (Credits to the rightful owner is included ofc). This is just an suggestion, the decisions is your. Will definitely support ur future vids even it's different:)
Oh Thats a great idea. I never thought of that. Of course that would also be a cool video reference for the people who are curious about kits from specific series lines. You definitely gave me some content material here. Thank you so much, expect some content like this from my future videos and thank you so much for this wonderful idea you gave me
Rumors are circulating that when DM shutdown, some of their talented employees were absored by MJH and Supernova but I'm not sure if thats actually the case since Bandai also seized DM's molds
yah most probably thats the case, most probably the last batches are still at large so u cant find it anywhere unless some people will sell the unbuilt ones
DM kits will remain legendary by their rarity specially for unbuilt ones. It is really unfortunate that those kits are cheap back then and if one were able to foresee the future, they could have bought lots of it and sell it fpr q good amount of cash
Bandai cannot trace Daban's factory in China. They only know their distribution line but closing those down wont mean anything. I bet China is protecting them.😂😂😂
@unclephilipps674 thats is unproven rumor. Many speculates their return in the form ot new brand. Some.say their talented employees switch companies like supernova ang mjh. But the veracity of those claims remained in the rumor sections. Maybe thats exactly how it is or maybe its a different story. For now, only they would know
They are back, The company name is wuji 🎊

Thanks for sharing! A surprisingly many models in the list are available again. But they cost as much as a bandai MG after shipping so 🤷

They’re on mofiho just received both of mine.
@kduberific very nice 😉
I regret not getting the outframe 3 the testament and akatsuki thinking that these bootlegs will always have a restock... But I guess wrong.

Im very interested, okay I'll PM you
I have the noir,heine and outframe.their kit have much detail for an mg kit.
Lucky guy you are. I dont have any of those 🤣 due to thinking DM would stay for awhile
Got the Akatsuki in my backlog.
I wish i got to try their kits back then. But I was not into gunpla back in 2017 :
Especially the spallow. I love posing my kits around every now and then

@@HyperWeaponHobby holy crap, im just reading this again now, and.... 105?! 😂 Bruh you could open up a Hobby shop with that quantity. Sanaol✨
They should re-release Akatsuki again. That kit is solid. Good thing I was able to buy it while it's cheap.
Wishful thinking. Dragon Momoko is one of those legendary things that will come and go once in a while. I am regretting I was not able to get some of their awesome kits while it was abundant and available back then
Came from the Future to say that this happened
I'm lucky to have grabbed the DM Deathscythe 3 years ago.
Lucky guy you 😂😂. If people would have known that DM was about to be shutdown, they would have grabbed their copies of those kits at their initial retail price.
@@HyperWeaponHobby I certainly wish I would have. I paid $72 for it 🫣
$72 that's Bandai Price! I used to remember DM master grade kits (those highly unique and detailed kits) being price only at $20
If you were lucky enough on a good day you could've sweet talked your way and bundled the Destiny Heine and another MG for just 30$...
Deym! You keep reminding me of some of the bad decisions I made when I was able to get my hands on those. Who knew at that time that DM would be shutdown and their kits will be extinct 🤣

Again, thank you so mucj for giving me a new content idea ☺️
well Dm factory is closed so ur fortunate to get one dm kits nowadays they are absorbed by another company so forgot the name of the company though
Rumors are circulating that when DM shutdown, some of their talented employees were absored by MJH and Supernova but I'm not sure if thats actually the case since Bandai also seized DM's molds
yah most probably thats the case, most probably the last batches are still at large so u cant find it anywhere unless some people will sell the unbuilt ones

well some have in online stores but not all models i saw some scrap runners for it but no whole model kit
16:31 so that's why they are so expensive. I want bought Destiny but the price was stupidly high
The destiny gundam is one of the awesome masterpiece by DM. Before it was very affordable and when DM was shut down, its price skyrocketed
How ironic DM was closed down but Daban who is a bigger bootleger is still in production.
Bandai cannot trace Daban's factory in China. They only know their distribution line but closing those down wont mean anything. I bet China is protecting them.😂😂😂
@@HyperWeaponHobby wow looks like it. But DM makes better kits! Rumor has it they are the now SuperNova brand.
@unclephilipps674 thats is unproven rumor. Many speculates their return in the form ot new brand. Some.say their talented employees switch companies like supernova ang mjh. But the veracity of those claims remained in the rumor sections. Maybe thats exactly how it is or maybe its a different story. For now, only they would know
DM now HEMOXIAN
@@bagasajisaputra738 if thats true then Hemoxian shall only focus on Non Gundam Kits to be safe. Legend of Thor is definitely one bad@ss kit
Y el Strike Noir
