nice review bikertrash, i have the real bandai version of him and it's one of my personal favorites next to PG Astray red frame and i think the IWSP backpack is freaking amazing.
I feel all special now. =3; but I also feel bad that you stayed up all night to finish it. Now I want to build my TT Hongli Strike E with the IWSP pack. Great and fair review.
nice review, may have to get this now :P best thing about the fake strikes, is that you can get most of the striker packs for a fraction of the cost, whereas the real ones would cost ALOT of money.
strike gundam used its anti ship sword alot to take down MS, I don't remember it being used on ships? That weapon packs looks really heavy! visually it look very good but knonk off are a mix bag, remember you get what you paid for! Glad to see it work for you. I have the Strike rogue and that part doesn't come off so blame it on this kit. in the end good video. keep up the good work!
I have the original Bandai kit and I've never had the rear leg panel pop off on mine. The way to keep the swords in is to push them all the way in to the sheaths. That's the only way I know of to keep them in securely. The four cannons on the pack are two cannons (the long ones that move) and two rail guns.
Yep, the plastic was not so bad that I did not get used to workign with it, just it is softer. I usually file the cut marks down, but this plastic wears down so fast I ended up just using a hobby knife.
Whoa, that's a knock-off? Hott damn, that's pretty damn good for a knock-off. And you can never have too many guns with a Gundam. I just love that about these mechs!
Man, dont even get me started. Last time I was breaking out of jail the alarms kept going off for other reasons, was to scared to make an attempt till it was almost too late.
Yes I have whiteglint. I am considering getting the booster unit for it. I have not started on it yet. It might sound stupid but every time I open the box it just looks intimedating. So many itsy bitsy parts and I have head it requires glue in some areas. Probably start mid October on it after my next wheeling trip.
Very good review Josh. I've the Bandai original and love this kit. You gave very fair assessment of the KO and your copy of a copy comment is very valid. BTW, any plans to build your AC: White Glint yet?
If I remember correctly yes. It did not want to push back into the sheild (the Barrels of the gun) turns out I had it turned wrong or something. I honestly dont remember to clearly any more.
Mr. Wolf, I too have the Bandai version. Like the Hongli version, the leg armor on the Bandai version does tend to fall off when bending at the knee - very annoying!!! I am considering gluing that piece on, because during my video review it started to come off as well. This is one awesome kit!!!
Well this was actually a fairly quick build. The backpack took about an hour, the robot about 3.5. if I had taken my time and detailed it I figure I probably would have atleast doubled that. perhaps tripled.
And the reason for the knockoff is just morbid curiosity, It is a kit I would not have bought the bandai version of, but as an experiment I could see paying 20 bucks for it.
Well not so much that I had to stay up all night... more that I had to wake up at about 2:30 am. Kinda weird this is working right now... Probably wont be in the morning. Glad you enjoyed it :D
I don't review TT Hongli to encourage people to buy them. Rather to be a terrible warning to those who are on the fence. Some people are rather kind in their reviews of them. I like to accentuate the negative.
I got the bandai version and the two swords that are placed on the strike pack hold very well cause on top of the handles of the swords, it acts as small hinges that allows it to connect into the strike pack. So there's no chance of the swords to actually fall off unless you break the hinges from it. Although i cant believe the knock off to hold up that well. I kind of thought that it would just break apart easily.
TT hongli's gundam is not as bad as many people say... after you give extra furnish to your gundam it is almost exactly the same as Bandai's (Unless you test it's durability by throwing it to your neighbor's house}
hey!!! I have that very same model!!! It looks great but building it is a pain in the ass. I like how they designed that though but the plastic is crap... well what can we expext from cheap knock offs
right there IS gluing required but thats only because some parts dont snap-fit and you kind of would want to glue that specific area anyway once you realize something's wrong and i know what you mean about the intimidating parts... i go through it every time i look at the nineball... i should be done with it by now =p
It is hard to say... MGs are best when shown without the armor, if you are going to display with the armor then if you can paint a little then I would say a HG can display almost as good as a MG can. Will be missing some pannel lining but from 6-7 feet away noone would notice anyway.
it depends what company you're talking about, there is someone out there who makes some good springer knock-offs, but no mather how good it is, it stays a knock-off. there is also a miniature 20th aniversery optimus prime in the works, but because hasbro/takara has nothing to do with it = knock-off. and the legendary city commander kit? wile it's not a transformer per-say, it's still not official, so it can also be classed as a knock-off.
@mp1312 Used to be able to buy them from walterhobby if you search on ebay once and a while they will turn up on ebay but they are almost the cost of a legit kit. 2 months ago I saw a Shin Musha KO for about 25 dollars plus 15 shipping.
tell me about it... to me it actually sucks off the fun from building models... it turns from fun to frustration just like that... I used super glue to mount the beam boomerang on the shield and on the I.W.S.P... it doesnt really matter to me if I can't take it out anymore becaues I'm just gonna display it... Oh and I also used super glue on the shins too...
Well, not if you have it I would say just build it, and enjoy your self as much as you can while doing it. They can be a little frustrating but if you enjoy building models you can learn how to fix problems better with a tthongli kit than a Bandai kit that is easier to put together.
I know, if I had moved the helbows more the arms would ahve seperated from the shoulder too :D had to shove the right arm back up twice int he review I think.
The stand isn't the KO fault. I've got the same stand from bandai (launcher/sword strike) and if I put that in the forward position it also falls down.
I bought the tt hongli MG sword/launcher strike, the weapons are pretty good but the gundam itself sucks so i bought the aile strike bandai version and i use the weapons of hongli on it. it's like i bought the bandai price of sword/launcher with aile pack. save me lot of money... i'm planning to buy that hongli then the bandai strike noir.
Well, How about you just send me DVD copies of all the gundam series ever? I dont have the time or the internet connection to download every single episode of gundam out there, and reguardless of that I am not reviewing the show, I am talking about a chunk of plastic. P.S. I can understand dislikeing TT Hongli but why the hate towards Prime 92? She has close to 400 videos and maybe 15-20 of them are related to the K.O.s.
Go get some sleep! How stupid to stay late and completing model, longer you stay late the worser final results will be. I got experience, and why to waste money on cheap-kick-offs?
nice review bikertrash, i have the real bandai version of him and it's one of my personal favorites next to PG Astray red frame and i think the IWSP backpack is freaking amazing.
One good thing about the TT Hongli kits it that the instructions are in engrish. So you can kinda read about the history of the suit and the weapons.
I feel all special now. =3; but I also feel bad that you stayed up all night to finish it.
Now I want to build my TT Hongli Strike E with the IWSP pack.
Great and fair review.

Lol thats what i was planning to do too. Keeping the pack and using the kit's inner frame for a Blitz Gundam MG conversion.
Whoa, that's a knock-off? Hott damn, that's pretty damn good for a knock-off. And you can never have too many guns with a Gundam. I just love that about these mechs!

I have seen it, I was unaware of the 2 extra beam rifles though.
Well not so much that I had to stay up all night... more that I had to wake up at about 2:30 am.
Kinda weird this is working right now... Probably wont be in the morning.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
Because I also like the noir striker pack. this way when I get tired of looking at one, I can swap them out.
I don't review TT Hongli to encourage people to buy them. Rather to be a terrible warning to those who are on the fence. Some people are rather kind in their reviews of them. I like to accentuate the negative.
LoL, loved the way any time you touch it something popped off! XD
I got the bandai version and the two swords that are placed on the strike pack hold very well cause on top of the handles of the swords, it acts as small hinges that allows it to connect into the strike pack.

You should see the Lucas IWSP
That monster adds two beam pistols, and two more beam rifles to it
TT hongli's gundam is not as bad as many people say... after you give extra furnish to your gundam it is almost exactly the same as Bandai's (Unless you test it's durability by throwing it to your neighbor's house}
hey!!! I have that very same model!!! It looks great but building it is a pain in the ass. I like how they designed that though but the plastic is crap... well what can we expext from cheap knock offs
That knockoff looks so much better compared to knockoff transformers.
Hard plastic is the disadvantage for hongli, I only collect gunpla from bandai
right there IS gluing required but thats only because some parts dont snap-fit and you kind of would want to glue that specific area anyway once you realize something's wrong and i know what you mean about the intimidating parts... i go through it every time i look at the nineball... i should be done with it by now =p
love the scream
It sounds painful.
No, that is part of the company's name.
T. T. Hongli.
can you believe I LOST the instructions.
I ended up finishing the kit using dalong for the instructions.
lmao i still can't believe that sound i just heard ether lol.great review btw
It is hard to say... MGs are best when shown without the armor, if you are going to display with the armor then if you can paint a little then I would say a HG can display almost as good as a MG can. Will be missing some pannel lining but from 6-7 feet away noone would notice anyway.
its in engrish but understandable none the less which is good for people who can't red japanese
it is wierd plastic just feels so greasy, doesnt really file all that well either, it is like it gets chewed up more than being filed.
the sword impulse cleaved a submarine sized space battle ship in half with two slitly smaller version's of the grand slam
it depends what company you're talking about, there is someone out there who makes some good springer knock-offs, but no mather how good it is, it stays a knock-off. there is also a miniature 20th aniversery optimus prime in the works, but because hasbro/takara has nothing to do with it = knock-off.

if you search on ebay once and a while they will turn up on ebay but they are almost the cost of a legit kit. 2 months ago I saw a Shin Musha KO for about 25 dollars plus 15 shipping.
None of the weapons on the IWSP are beam based. Just good old shell/slug firing goodness.
wow good review can you do a vlog about my video biker/ josh
Very cool. How much did you spend on it if you don't mind me asking?
I have issues with sleeping. My mind races and I cant slow it down. Somenights before I go to work I only get 1 and a half or two hours sleep.
@Botar95035 I am more partial to the Strike than the Impulse (I only really like the sword impulse)
Nice Review Strike Gundam Unit 2?
oh and the uh left ankle gard is missing
Mini 20th prime? Must needs google more information!
tell me about it... to me it actually sucks off the fun from building models... it turns from fun to frustration just like that... I used super glue to mount the beam boomerang on the shield and on the I.W.S.P... it doesnt really matter to me if I can't take it out anymore becaues I'm just gonna display it...

Yeah... Not sure what hapened there.
thanks!

holy crap, that noise you made was sooooooooooooooooo funny!!!
I know, if I had moved the helbows more the arms would ahve seperated from the shoulder too :D had to shove the right arm back up twice int he review I think.
I have quick question where you could buy KO version?
he got white glint?!?!
what do you think i should get,the MG aile strike or the force impulse :/
The stand isn't the KO fault. I've got the same stand from bandai (launcher/sword strike) and if I put that in the forward position it also falls down.
stickers might be water slide dip it to water and paste it lol.
luv ur glasses!
thanks... I was sleep deprived.
You know, I think that damn noise is getting more comments than any other thing in this video :D
i kinda missed everything after the funny sound... laughing too hard. :P
I watch ALOT of her videos her "something special" videos almost always have her on camera.
nice manly scream you got there
Nice screeach there! :P
wats the website for the knockoff??
best scream ever xD
I bought the tt hongli MG sword/launcher strike, the weapons are pretty good but the gundam itself sucks so i bought the aile strike bandai version and i use the weapons of hongli on it. it's like i bought the bandai price of sword/launcher with aile pack. save me lot of money... i'm planning to buy that hongli then the bandai strike noir.
That's what RUclips Poop is for.

So Tt hongli gundam are bad and hard to build cause I bought one what should I do?
Well, How about you just send me DVD copies of all the gundam series ever? I dont have the time or the internet connection to download every single episode of gundam out there, and reguardless of that I am not reviewing the show, I am talking about a chunk of plastic.
P.S. I can understand dislikeing TT Hongli but why the hate towards Prime 92? She has close to 400 videos and maybe 15-20 of them are related to the K.O.s.
LMFAO the scream
THe closer you get the worse it looks. it is not that bad though.
