Four years later, I wish I'd seen the superglue trick before this. I've been pulling them loose while the clay was soft and getting distortion. Thank you!

Really enjoyed building official bandai kits and we are lucky here in the philippines we have pbandai online store in shopee so we get pbandai kits in their proper prices. I've bought many kits theres since its an official store and I will never support this online scalpers overpricing pbandai kits. I guess I'm one of the few people who are brave enough to start with official bandai products. I even started with the Zeta 2.0 as my very first MG kit hahaha. It was a good experience and I learned alot on that kit on how to properly build a gunpla and luckily I still have the kit with me and its still in good condition.

I like to buy Bl for cuztoms or just for fun cus there cheap since bandai has recently gotten more exepnsive with the p bandai especially in my country aka the (Philippines)

Vids from 5y ago but why not try, ive spent the better part of two hours trying to het this damn LED on, remade the head piece 4 times and swapped the batteries twice. Nothing

Bootleg kits are ONLY for skilled builders who wants to seek challenge. My gunpla collections are only bootleg kits, because Bandai doesn't give a damn care about market/price control which leads to skyrocketing price caused by resellers, and all my bootleg kits are in good condition and even playable. Also, if i switch to Bandai, there won't be anymore challenge to my skill. With so, people who swears off of bootleg kits definitely have massive skill issues, imagine failing on building bandai kit....OOF....definitely SKILL ISSUE.

looks like a skill issue to me lol.

No way I'm spending a fortune on metal builds... I'll happily buy the bootleg of those if needed

Ulol

I found an english instruction manual for this but its for the green version I was wondering if it still can be used for the red one. Never mind found it can be

Im an MG collector almost 100 mg Pbandai Mgs too expensive Blanche Regenes Nataku I quit for 6 or 7 yrs cos i got too much mgs I don't want my 2 storey house to be crowded for me to have mini gym space but I don't care about those details anymore or build quality as long as It looks good on display I'll buy hg boottles for just a fraction of an MG Bandai price (mg bandai price just doubled wtf) plus bootleg hgs have a lot of options and selections especially for hgbf but I'll be buying some cheap bandai hgs like moon gundam next week. I will just display them or keep them in th box for yrs so as long as I complete most of my collection ill be a lot happier

Would u class the size of this dragon to be adult?

All that flashy gitz for a drop of blood

My first kit was a bootleg, followed by another three before I switched to Bandai. I will say that the quality is not even comparable, and had no problem with assembling them. However, after building tons of them I find the challenge of assembling those bootlegs to be... fun. Yes there are a ton of problems, but after the aching fingers, falling parts and fitting issues, the satisfaction that it brings me is just equal if not less when building an original gunpla. In conclusion, both are fun. But the other presents difficulty and a lot of frustration. It's up to us what to try and pass our verdict.

If you are good enough to the point of opening commission I think anything that bootleg kits bring should be too much of a problem anymore. For example you said some parts are too tight and you force the parts together, why not just shave the plastic on the connector then thats what I do and not only to bootleg kits but also some Bandai kits as well to not have the trouble of plastic breaking when disassembling for paint. Sorry I just find this video to be uninformative and really really bias.

Bootleg sucks

i dont understand imperious is the advisor of tyrel then how come imperious is ruling here?

The only advantage bandai has is quality control. I'm surprised that ver.ka mastergrades aren't made fun of more since it's the odd one out.

Beautiful

god awful voice actress.

"Bandai parts fit together perfectly", excuse me, but my master grade Deathscythe ew's waist skirt armor would like to have a word with you.

0:42ん？

Some of the builders want to try bootlegs because they want to test their skill and patience. I didn't build bootleg as of today but I want to try it in the near future.

And the others?

Where i buy the original stuff in italy?

I wanted to buy to buy bandai or even p-bandai but my budget is limited. I i find it not worth the money. I invested on more tools so that i can properly build 3rd party kits. For me the additional building experience is challenging and is part of the building process.

Thank you for clarifying "not gundam 00" that would have made for an interesting brush lol

1/72 scale metal builds. These things are amazing.

Bootleg sucks!

looks like it's a you problem, snapfitter.

Why is the thumbnail a master grade zaku 2 ?

is it possible to combine zoids with gundam?

awesome , wish they were a bit longer like jobbys vids

What about the panel decals? It was a 3rd sheet that came that is blue and gray and lettered a-s...i dont know how to put then on bc they arent in the instructions

Buying the MB, hirm and titanium finished is worth buying, but other than that I’ll stick to Bandai they just need to release more models

I have nothing, but ban dai MG and PG I purchase daban sazabi metallic coating and man it feels and looks just like my Bandai verka… the water decals were actually better, articulation is the same, it has the same issues (funnels). My second one was daban MB freedom and I just finished it is a solid build some parts didn’t fit well but a bit of sanding worked

Turning off dislikes won't save this sinking ship.

I saw alot of videos abt how u should build it first before painting? Did u build it before and is it necessary

Came here from ur website 🙋🏻‍♂️

Lmao can't believe the comment section is almost full of bandai fanboys

Calling Mechanicore and G-System bootlegs is a little disingenuous don't you think?

As a poor man I can only afford Rg :") So I choose bootleg mg kits

These DM kits are two times more expensive than any bandai mg kits, DM kits are bad with so many parts that doesn't fit and you have to trim almost all of the parts and glue them.

love this video and Rivet Wars. Did you use normal acrylic paints (e.g. Citadel, Vallego, etc.)?

What paint are you supposed to use on these specific gunpla? I have tons for warhammer miniature painting

The only botleg Gundam that I know that the price is expensive.

Daban/hongli will never be really gone imo, look at them now they just shift to transformers for a moment and then come back to gunpla with different name or no brand whatsoever, they are like cockroach they never really die just laying low and come back with something as always As casual collector for toys, figure, model kits and transformers i really don't mind ko/bootleg especially transformers many of ko brand transformers is superior to hasbro i i don't mind them at all

Seven Sword out on a stroll with it's pet Zero Jager.

for me 3rd party is for the more experience builder . i mean i build all kind of modal you name it , bandai , mc , daban , dm , supernova . from my point of view every brand have its own flaw . even bandai have gap,fitting issue even mold defect . especially their rg so loose . my delta kai bandai really loose overtime but like i said its more to the builder , how they manage the assembling process . in the end of the day its your own money . spend it at whatever brand you want as long as your happy and know what you buying .

I wouldn't say don't buy bootleg totally, coz for example MG kits that are not produced by bandai is worth the cheap price, like the Dragon Momoko MG sky grasper, MG Akatsuki, & MG Astray out frame D, & also the Daban Model Astray Mars Jacket. Don't point fingers nor blame others if you're one among millions of unlucky people who got their asses hit really bad by BAD LUCK, just saying! I am not unlucky enough like you getting unfinished parts in your runner. Coz I myself patronize Bandai, most of my kits are bandai, like 90%, . . . . and10% are bootleg kits not available in Bandai
