Im glad bootleg companies are having fun with these kits. While I always try to support Bandai when I can, I will go bootleg for anything PBandai or Gundan Base exclusive, because it's basically impossible to get where I live without paying triple the price
the mix of orange and yellow actually lets it be more colour accurate out of the box - the thrusters on the shoulders and calves are meant to be orange or an off yellow depending on what cell you're basing it on the only kit that has ever got this "right" was the perfect grade and it only has orange leg thrusters and not shoulder ones :p
I really like the recolour these bootleg companies are making especially the eva kampfer and the white GM Spartan. Also I must have that Acguy now for he is BALLIN.
The Gundam Mk.II, just like the Zeta, is actually supposed to have orange thrusters, while keeping the V antenna, the collar and chest vents in yellow. The PG actually has those same colors for the vents and thrusters as well.
If it is normal kits, we can agree that it is better to get the Bandai version. But if it is P-Bandai kits or Limited base, we can agree that it is better to get the Bootleg version. Which is funny because Bandai would always spam P-Bandai or Limited base nowadays that ironically have bootleg issues (ex: Burnlapius Gundam).
It's a funny Robinhood-like mentality. A big corpo being a greedy cheapskate against their consumers' will? Out-cheapskate them by buying cheap knockoffs from the opposing "criminals" 😂🤣
@@alfianfahmi5430well, you do you. Not everyone have the money to buy the "premium" or limited stuff bro, people also have their own financial situations. Then good luck having Bandai suck your bank acc dry.
@@akhdannaufaldy1693 Well I'm kinda broke too. I was never interested in rare/expensive stuffs, and I didn't even have enough shelf space. I'm also more interested in kitbashing. All I could afford was pretty much some HGs, 30MMs and alikes, and those are plenty enough 🤷♂️ I don't like how greedy Bandai has become. Not that they're not greedy to begin with, but it's much worse nowadays 💀☠️ I'd like to buy KO stuffs, but IDK if I should 🤔
@@alfianfahmi5430you should try to buy and build some first, then judge them yourself. I definitely don't support Bandai's hyper capitalism nowadays. Also, bootlegs are perfect for kit-bashing or custom build.
The blue and white for the spartan was so you could mix and match. It's the same for the dark navy blue one. It's dark navy blue and black. I made an all white with camera, cockpit and visor red as well as an all black. I have a lot of extra parts left over from buying every spartan. No fitting or joint problems. 3rd party came a long way.
I just got the Midnight variant of the GM Spartan. They actually give you the A runners both in dark navy blue and black, so you can pick and choose. I’ve been using the navy blue with the black as accents. It looks like a Titans GM Spartan, which is awesome. Also, if the XFS blue and white GM Spartan is anything to go by, it should come with all of the A, B, and D runners in both blue and white to allow you to customize the colors. You also should get the bullpup machine gun and sniper rifle from the GM Sniper II, which is sick.
Gaoke will release some hguc zulu kits from unicorn series, 012 the one that makes ko rx78 origin will release mg f90, wm will release hg zaku 2 high mobility surface type and the company that makes ko guntank and ball will release polypod ball
ooh do you have a link to the acguy kit? (its my fav suit) its getting a bit harder to find acguy nowdays..at least for a good price and i have some custom ideas i would like to do. Also did you get to kits in the same box?
There are several 7/11 High Grades. Some look pretty good, and some look like they were peed on. I'd still get them if I found them at a good price though.😁
Yes I bought 3 x KO Torlos recently after buying a Bandai original. Whilst I know this will hurt us all at the end of the day , it's hard to ignore a kit for £7 (including postage) against over £35 (including postage) for the original....
Separate Comment: I'd be interested in how these KO companies are making these kits - are they getting access to the original tooling or are they reverse engineering the kit frames?
Are you interested in getting non-KO kits from superbuy? Red Soul 1/144 "RG" Nightingale for example. This was supposed to be released in october, but I can't find any post-release reviews and it's only sold on superbuy.
That Acugy is BALLIN
Hope you don't mind if I use that.
@@dankpla7037 I don't

Yeah. I hate it when they make some certain kits exclusive or limited for no reason
Damn agree
@@mozzarellamaniac6300it's not for "no reason", but for capitalism reason.
@@akhdannaufaldy1693 yeah... 😒
That is the color scheme from a meme featuring the Chinese idol Cai Xukun, but its funny idea to have basketball team for acguy to lol.
Wow. The more you know.

The Gouf Custom has a Star Wars logo. Well, just the STAR, but the font/style is very SW.
Yup. The company that makes it is STAR. They also made the Kampfer and the Gouf Flight Type.

COME ON AND SLAM!
AND WELCOME TO JAPAN YEAH!
Acguy be balling that MVP with his extendo arm
Will you be making reviews on all these kits when you've finished 'em?
You bet!
Gaoke will release some hguc zulu kits from unicorn series, 012 the one that makes ko rx78 origin will release mg f90, wm will release hg zaku 2 high mobility surface type and the company that makes ko guntank and ball will release polypod ball
That second MK II you showed is supposed to be the 21st Century Real Type Titans colors
subbed because the turtly enough for the turtle club comment whiplashed me
I order from Aliexpress when it comes to bootlegs, i got real surprised when the OG Colors Gouf Custom actually sold out in places.
LOL I totally want that Acguy 😂
The botlegs have many color variation for you who not used painting 😁
ooh do you have a link to the acguy kit? (its my fav suit) its getting a bit harder to find acguy nowdays..at least for a good price and i have some custom ideas i would like to do. Also did you get to kits in the same box?
I always find searching on these kind of websites very frustrating - has anyone come across any KOs of classic Gundam ships etc?
I found one that instead of the basketball color scheme, it was a seven eleven store colors
There are several 7/11 High Grades. Some look pretty good, and some look like they were peed on. I'd still get them if I found them at a good price though.😁
I bought the Torlo a while ago too! Buy the bootleg mg ball and zaku tank next!
Yes I bought 3 x KO Torlos recently after buying a Bandai original. Whilst I know this will hurt us all at the end of the day , it's hard to ignore a kit for £7 (including postage) against over £35 (including postage) for the original....
all im wishing for is that third parties would try to at least touch G-self and make an MG out of it. poor kit never gets love even from bootleggers
I heard jms kits are the better KO brand out there if you get them.
Separate Comment: I'd be interested in how these KO companies are making these kits - are they getting access to the original tooling or are they reverse engineering the kit frames?
The haters said ma (Ac)guy would never be ballin
Glad bro locked in and proved them wrong

I'm interested in any kind of robot model really. I enjoy the process.
I've seen it available for purchase on Mofiho and gundam central shop as well.
@@MaskedKingDavid all non-chinamen shops I found only listed it as "pre-order shipping some time in the future we don't know when but soon"
bro i need that acguy
I was gonna buy this off temu
The GM is MG or HGUC?
HGUC
I like the black kit but I’m not gunna order shit from temu no thanks
