Hi what model broke you emotionally at you stopped building for while.

[@vorlun2594]

there's a deathscythe hell EW ver by another bootleg company called supernova

[@roachdoggjr4266]

This review already feels like a completely new level. Love it

[@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt]

omg its DaRoachDogg's baby boy !!!

[@albertko1]

The Super Nova HeavyArms Custom is pretty much the full dakka version of the suit. To replicate it with Bandai requires hunting down 3 different P Bandai items, the kit and two different expansions.

[@kmrl5982]

Agreed. Might as well go for the 1/100 Snow White Prelude while you’re at it

[@PlamoTherapy]

I have that model. My first playlist's worth of build sounds videos too (shameless plug). Of course, a year later, they released the Igel version with Anime Colors.

[@evanslow3152]

this might be blasphemous but i feel the supernova wing was a better kit then the wing zero ver ka...plastic was softer which doesn't leave stress marks and the action base looks way more sick.

[@ZeroOmega-vg8nq]

@@evanslow3152 also had the messer zwerg included and the V fin is way bigger and imposing

[@sidusher1726]

my supernova heavyarms custom igel is currently standing with FOUR quad gatlings without glue or supports, as well as the supernova igel equipment. it is a beast to behold and there arent many other kits that have even as much dakka, let alone more.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

The one thing I absolutely love about this KIT is no question the RIBCAGE CHEST. It can work so well on the OG DEATHSYTHE! Everything else……. MEH….. Maybe if you can remake it with a 3D Printer and add them to the OG GUNDAM?

[@venomouslizards]

Surprisingly, when I built the DM Akatsuki, I had almost no issues with parts not fitting together. The only ones were that the eyes didn’t fit together, the pre molded hands need to be shaved a bit to properly hold the wepons, and the possible hands suck. It’s a really good kit and fits in perfectly with the rest of my SEED kits.

[@noahcs8023]

akatsuki came from a later production , by that time DM already had their QC done better so yea nowadays it is way more reliable . But this deathsythe really aint friedly at all when it comes to built. Better avoid it if you dont have the time and patient to go through all those problem.

[@FallenAngelofRebellion]

The Supernova Wing Zero Snow White Prelude was simply a joy to build, barring some tight fits. Not to mention the end product itself is nothing short of magnificent.

[@exturkconner]

Yeah in general all of the Supernova kits are held in super high regard.

[@bagastkorodesign691]

And easy cracked polycap joint

[@PrimeYsiadGL]

Was it really that good? I heard mixed reviews so I was scared to cop

[@FallenAngelofRebellion]

@@PrimeYsiadGL Mine was. Barely needed any sanding as there were few nubs. Some joints were tight, but nothing sanding can't fix. The polycap issue was probably fixed because mine wasn't a polycap, IIRC. The right leg tends to pop off though, so it's not perfect. I could use nail polish to fix that but since I've already got it into a pose I want, I didn't bother. Overall I'd recommend it, if you like the look of it or are really into Wing

[@PrimeYsiadGL]

@@FallenAngelofRebellion this is a bit specific but do you know if it shares the frame with the old wing kits or the Ver.ka one?

[@hrududery]

Love these dives into bootleg territory -- fun to see how other people would interpret building kits.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

It's honestly a lot of fun. It also gives me way more appreciation for just how perfect Bandai's kits are.

[@boeingnz]

@@MechaGaikotsu Build bootleg kit if you have too much time on your hand I guess. But they're like 1/3 the price of Bandai kit.

@@MechaGaikotsu Working on an ATK Girl kit now - and I do miss Bandai kits where the build isn’t 70% sanding/drilling/hoping parts fit 😀 Any chance you’ll look into these kits?

[@WingDragonoidZero]

@@MechaGaikotsu I do recommend that Supernova Gundam wing kits you may like the build and esthetics of their redesign. (Honestly for 2 out of the 7 kits I recommend the most is Heavyarms and Sandrock). Oh and the Strange (Nillson) Works Frosty Cat, it's PG size and a very unique design. My local gundam store are selling bootleg kits right now. Check out Gundam Kingdom in 12:00pm central time.👍

@@WingDragonoidZero sucks that they charging bandai prices for daban but getting it domestic is cool

[@4no3bo3dy]

I snap-built, the disassembled & painted SuperNova Altron. I really like the kit, and it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

[@thunderclad20]

I got the dragon momoko launcher strike, and I actually liked the water slides that came with that kit and they still hold on to this day even though i didn't apply any top coat on that kit.

[@MagicSwordKing]

Having built the Dragon Momoko Testament. I can say their water slides are very nice. I honestly had less trouble with them than Bandai water slides and they’ve been great over time. Bandai don’t make great water slides, honestly. Every third party set I’ve used has been easier to work with, more durable, and better looking. Particularly recommend Delpi Decals.

[@giancarlomaglaque5352]

Definitely recommend trying any of the supernova wing kits. Their Altron, Heavy Arms Igel and Sandrock look the coolest out of the 5. In that order.

[@dnch4039]

But the building experience of sandrock is kinda hard

[@marketovang3989]

I agree. Tallgeese 3 from I believe dragon momoko is pretty awesome too

[@lee-suhuang5326]

Heavy arms was almost perfect bedsides the super tight waist ball joint, Sandrock had some head parts I had to shave smaller to fit but otherwise fine as well.Altron as their earliest was the worst. But overall Supernova is one of the best 3rd party build experiences, almost 90% Bandai quality.

[@dnch4039]

@@lee-suhuang5326 as a first timer in building mg I really had a hard time with my sandrock, not just the head but with the armor of the legs as well

[@iditaro]

Not gundams, but super nova zoids are rock solid. I got 2 sturm tyrann and those are really good looking kits

[@widyawibawa1484]

I have built heavyarms supernova few years ago and i can say the build was fun enough. The plastics are soft, feels like the plastics for frame of ibo kits (i don't know what to call haha) and most of them are under gates which are very easy to remove and no nub marks to be seen. It felt like you get what you pay for in good way 👍

[@dragnousreviews]

I got this about 2 years ago. I love the look, it was an absolute nightmare to build. My set at least had so many fitment issues it was bonkers. Now if only band would release a 1/100 death scythe hell release that had this level of detail.

[@joshhi457]

I’ve had this kit for about a year now and used all of the water slides plus put a matte top coat on it. All of them are holding up fine. The big white eyes on the active coat looks savage. Out of all the bootlegs I’ve built I would say my favorite is the super nova Nataku. Building it wasn’t as much of a pain as the Momoko death scythe and if you paint in the gun metal parts it looks extremely good.

[@Slasher-92]

I think you’d really love the Supernova Deathscythe Hell EW. It’s a sharp kit (literally), but it’s a fairly enjoyable build. And the final result is so aesthetically pleasing.

[@roycebenton2667]

The 1/60 pg frosty cat by strangeworks is possibly the best! Its got option and so many cool mechanics and gimmicks. Its amazing and its my favorite model kit so far even when compared to the pg exia! Its sturdy as all hell and funnto build!!!!!

[@alerion9452]

You should try the Supernova Wing Zero Snow-white Prelude. The quality of its plastic and its fitting is very nice, the amount of runners is hella fun to build, and its details are awesome. Definitely one of the top bootleg kits. No fitting issues as well on my end. A must-try for me if you're looking for a bootleg kit.

[@bryansangalang7902]

Still have this kit from 2017, untouched and opened only to check the runners. Saw one online and goes for around $150 here from a local seller. Might build it eventually when I get back that gunpla itch.

[@MikeHernandez707]

You're content and review mastery keeps leveling up!

[@vurthronnon6253]

I recommend checking out the super nova wing kits next, they're pretty good if you can get your hands on them and their quality is near bandai's. I suggest starting with their heavy arms or death scythe hell.

[@cyburn7797]

I’ve built the Daban MG kit of the Metal Build F91. Aside from sanding a little edge on the helmet it went together ok and the amount of weapons/accessories you get in the kit is great. Only complaint is the hands don’t hold the rifle or sabers well but having all of the back weapons mounted on it Freedom-style looks amazing

[@VidsmonJeremyStaMaria]

I don't know where did you get that, but in the Philippines, that's rare as "Hell"

[@thatonequeergundamfan71]

Fr

[@YkebazFiles]

I had this kit all the way back and its still holds up pretty well. I got no problems build it whatsoever. Also you forgot a feature of the active cloak. It can transform into two badass bat-like remote/funnel weapons. It was included in the manual so better to recheck it. As for other bootleg kits, I recommend you try DM Testament or DM Outframe D. I love those DM kits. Pretty dynamic and superb articulation.😆

[@dylanhugh27]

I've built a few of the supernova kits but always had my eye on this one! Love the review!

[@richardnchase4412]

Got this kit a while back and loved building it.

[@stephenskalikot]

If you ever wanted an MG version of the Jagd Doga, Daban went full madman with their work. Super Nova's variants are also crazy eye candy, you'll experience common bootleg issues but they're pretty good (daban's improved greatly reducing to minimal issues)

[@V10Symphony]

Personally, my favorite bootleg kit is the Supernova Heavyarms Igle unit. Upsides: -The kit is super sturdy even with each of the two arms having 2 mini guns attached to them. (sometimes too sturdy) -It comes with 8x mini guns, all of them can be attached to the arms. (never tried it tho) -The subarms have no problem holding 2 miniguns each. -Most guns and missiles in the hatches are color separated in gun metal gray. -You have the option to change the color of 85% parts of the base suit with either red, white or yellow. -80% of the kit is undergated. -Even the blue stripes on the armor is color separated (but they are the only parts that required to be modified significantly) -The knee joint has a separating knee and sliding thigh armor. (personal favorite) -The detail is sharp, if a little too sharp. -The plastic was no where as bad as other bootleg kits. -imo, the kit is so good looking that it's the only kit im my collection that I didn't bother panel lining it. Downsides: -You end up with a lot of spare parts because of the extra color options. -The pegs of the subarms are too tight and one broke on me. (but it still works fine) -You only get one v fin, so be careful not to break it. -The shoulder hatches required gluing but they open and close normally. -The manual (at least the one I got) was confusing and made me disassemble parts I have already built in order to attach the Igle unit. It is a fantastic kit, and I would love to see SN try to make there own original design instead of stealing Bandai's IP.

[@jayveecorpuz6873]

Got a Bootleg from a friend as a gift,it was a Super Nova Altron Gundam.He gave me this cause the Bandai version cost a lot. It was difficult building some parts but hey,it was very cool!! The articulation was ok. The Dragon heads!! WOW love them.

[@acrossjapan]

I just finished building the Daban 8816 MG 1/100 Gundam Astraea Type F last week and you have to try getting One and see why I love this Bootleg Kit

[@Jhayzer021]

The Akatsuki Gundam of DM that I built is pretty impressive aesthetic wise since it was based on the Strike RM. I hope Mecha G build and review that kit if he find one on sale.

[@omac]

The MC Model 1/144 Nu and Hi-Nu Gundooms were good kits, pretty big for 1/144's and had lots of accessories. (Nu had 2 sets of funnels, Hi-Nu had that huge beam sword) There was also an HWS of the Nu and a ground type variant. The Qubeley they released was not as good as the Nu's though. These kits were released a few years ago, not sure if there are still any for sale. Latest unlicensed kit I build was the Supernova Heavyarms. Enjoyed building it, plastic had a pretty good feel. Just had to glue some small parts that kept popping off.

[@krayner33]

I built the dragon momoko destiny a few years ago. It has some loose parts and some parts are very hard to snap but overall it's quite good. It's for sure one of the most beautiful looking kit I've built. Another one that I like is the supernova heavyarms.

[@weaselwolf]

I remember getting one of these from Wish for like $40. It was a massive pain the the ass to build because all the tolerances were too tight. Had to ream out every hole and slot just so things would fit together. And yeah, my cloak broke the same way. I just said eff-it and super glued it

[@OverseerXIII]

I built this and I had the same issues as you did but I loved how it turned out. Best bootleg I've built is the supernova Heavyarms Igel.

[@oddonebrandon]

Supernova Heavyarms, Death scythe,Sandrock and Wing are all amazing kits. Give them a shot

SuperNova Heavy Arms Custom, thats an amazing kit. The Daban PG Exia Avalanche Dash(N0.00) is by far the biggest box and most accessories i've ever had to deal with.

[@AdamMckeithan]

Built this kit a while back. I didn't have to drill anything on the one I got. Did run into a few parts not fitting easy but didn't have that much trouble building the kit. Guess I could gotten a good one.

[@richardsiva1103]

Hi Mecha, my recommended bootleg kit is the 1/100 Supernova Heavyarms Custom. The build just blew my away. 🤩

[@lyricyt8499]

Supernova are pretty good, alongside with issues encountered with other bootlegs, thier zoids are probably the best out there.

[@darkpowerstorm7923]

I've built the Dragon Momoko Strike and its variants. Practically collected all variants of the sword strike and its swore sets. Then the launcher strike, the skygrasper and also the perfect strike which is combined from those previously mentioned seta. 😁

[@GrarrlbrownVT]

I bought the ZA Berserk Fury which is a third party /knock off version of the High end Master Model Kit Berserk Fury and was completely blown away by it. ZA is a third party company that makes stylized versions of Zoids and so I wanted to give it a try since the Fury is my favorite mech in anime and wow, just wow. The plastic quality is softer but its surprisingly sturdier than its official brother, they added some extra details, modified some parts to give it that ZA brand look and even added extra articulation in the toes to make poses more life like. Its the same size as the official release and you can even swap out parts with the two of them. Its something I HIGHLY recommend getting, that or their Deathstinger which is a upscaled stylized version on the official HMM Deathstinger or their Mugen, Hayate, and Murusame Liger kits or even their take on the Sturm Tyrann.

[@iangabrieltohoy4499]

The most recent one I built was not a Gundam, but the Berserk Fury from SuperNova. It's basically their version of the HMM from Koto, but I had no issues building it, and it was quite fun and enjoyable. With regards to fittings, no parts were too tight but some were loose out of the box. But still highly recommended for me

[@godzillacc5]

I built the mjh getter robo devolution. Absolutely blows even real grades out of the water. Amazing kit. Only downside is that the clear green plastic could be a little clearer, but you can fix that by painting the underside or the piece behind silver, and coating the piece in a thin layer of nail polish. But again other than that absolutely fantastic kit

[@mohamadnaquiddin7862]

Supernova wing zero snow white prelude is really fun to build and the final product is really majestic!!!

[@zannusx]

I built the Dragon Momoko Exia R3 which I think is the kit that really pissed off Bandai and was their last release before the shut down. I didn't have any issues with stuff getting on my hands from the parts, but man did my fingers hurt trying to push some of those pieces together. It's knocked off from the metal build and it does look really nice for what it is.

[@Roaddbuster]

I HIGHLY recommend checking out Daban's take at an MG Jagd Doga. They use the MG Geara Doga frame and heavily modify it so that it can fit the new armor parts. It comes with a Geara Doga shoulder armor part and sleeve parts, but unfortunately you can't make an official sleeve version that's seen in unicorn. It has some of the usual fitting issues, but it's not that bad. I would kind of consider it a kit killer considering how floppy Bandai's RE100 version is, but I'll leave it up to you if you want to check it out.

[@WolfsSoul13]

I have a lot of bootlegs and i love the Supernovas Gundams wings they are amazing

[@125rman]

I recently built the ZA Berserk Fuhrer kit from Super Nova. That kit is very incredible and very pointy. Under the removable armor are shiny gold pieces which really impressed me. I recommend it.

[@vizioax2]

I recently built it too. It's an incredible kit. I love the extra design bits over the official release. Makes it look meaner the amount of detail you can line really makes it pop too.

[@MrPafleouf]

I have Dragon momoko blue astray, and damn these kits are good looking ! Some minor problems on sprue placement and errors in the instructions and fitment way too tight for some pieces, but im still really happy with it

[@PsycheTrance65]

I bought this kit 3-ish years ago because I've been wanting a TV Deathscythe kit for a long time. It was my first Bootleg Gunpla and it was a nightmare to build because a good chunk of the parts did not want to fit. I ended up sanding off too much of some of the pegs leading to the opposite thing, loose parts. The worst being one of the pegs that attaches his hip to his left leg. It is now a beautiful plastic grenade on my shelf. Very nice to look at, but every time I move it to clean the shelf there is a 100% chance a part will fall off 😂 EDIT: The waterslides have held up in the years that he has been on my shelf, so those are at least good.

[@Colt-TV]

Supernova/Model Heart Wing Zero EW is pretty good. Loosened up alot since 2019 but the feathered layered inner wings are gorgeous and the head crest proportions are so exaggerated and line art esque

[@GuardianAngelX72]

Best bootleg kits I've honestly built have been the Supernova Zoids kits. I have built all three Zoids Genesis Ligers (Murasame, Mugen, and Hayate) and they honestly are an absolute joy and to pose and screw around with. I recently built the Berserk Fury and so far Supernova's Zoids are 4/4 (I still have to build the Death Stinger, and I swear if you build this you need to do a size comparison with Spooky because everyone has compared this kit to a medium sized house cat). I've done a few others, including some Daban kits and...well, it's a lot of what you experienced here with the DM Deathscythe. Thankfully with the Supernova kits I haven't had to do ANY of this. I will say as a bonus, the worst bootleg I've built is the BT Hobby Huckebein Boxer...it looks absolutely nuts but it poses like a brick and I'm pretty sure the plastic did irreversible damage to my fingers.

[@navlao8712]

I have built Daban's Gundam Astrea Type F/F2, I may say that its a great kit all new parts for the Astrea is undergated and easy to clean also lots of accessories 8 sheilds, 2 of each type of gun 4 GN sword handle and 2 NGN bazooka which has a very detailed magazine also gen wires have a good prismatic effect, bad side is just with some minor color inaccurate metallic purple part in GN condenser, back chestplate and alternate head chin part I just used metallic red red to recolor it also parts shared with MG Exia has bad knobs, alternate head needs bluetak or something to stick the 2 piece part (chin and visor) also theres no manual you need a pdf file, note the sub-arms for the floating sheild for the back GN condeser is very fragile since the original sub-arm is made from diecast. hope this helps the kits looks god for a bootleg

[@ah_yes]

Out of all the gunpla’s, the cup noodles on the top left is by far superior to everything around it.

[@elarmando7363]

The supernova Heavyarms EW is an awesome kit. Mine had a couple issues, but most are my own fault because that was the second MG I ever built so I didn't have the experience required.

[@ZarlLarlack]

The Daban F91 is pretty killer, only a few parts that are slightly too tight but i built the whole thing snap and snip with no breakage.

[@PrimeYsiadGL]

You should do a review on one of the supernova kits, built the Altron, and am about to build the Sandrock, and they're way better than what I expected. Only like 3 real issues for me, two of the skirt armors need to be glued, the face needs to be glued, and the polycap in the waist needs to be shaved. The backpack might need to be glued but they include stands for the altron's heavy arms so it hasnt been an issue for me. Was a amazing experience you really should try it

[@RealEffinNoob]

I've built both DM Strike Noir and Akatsuki, and I'm happy with both. No issues that I could find (other than minor fitting issues).

[@tomtorres4561]

Hey man! If you decide to check out the dragon momoko Destiny/destiny westenfluss, it’s nearly a full snap build. I only had to fix 3-5 small pegs

[@davidcosta3649]

2:40 Spookys back! Better make sure he had lots of treats for that

[@stevenmcmasters7212]

I've also done the supernova wing kits and I will say that sandrock and Nataku both need a lot more work and paint than the deathscythe or heavyarms of the same line. They all have a slightly over the top design. The heavyarms and deathscythe have the best parts separation but the Nataku has a really cool look. Also the Nataku took me the longest as I had to do a lot of painting. The sandrock needs a bit of paint for picture accuracy but it isn't too bad.

[@datgood121]

I've built the dragon momoko destiny and devil arts providence, No problems what so ever. Everything went in alright and it was enjoyable to build. some pegs are too tight I just find my self sanding down the thickness of the peg rather than drilling the hole.

[@julikeroro]

I highly recommend anything from Supernova (Wing EW series gundam) or ZA model (Zoids). I've built all of SN EW kit, and that's superb. Surely enough it's not a beginner friendly kit, but it was fun for me!

[@Nozarashi1993]

I loved building and posing Daban 8816 MG/MB Asraea Type F, it was somewhat of a challenge but worth it, that would be my suggestion

[@geraldge1562]

Really love 3rd party kits tbh so I bought alot of them if they were redesigned and also if bandai hasn't made an kit of that certain mobile suit. All of them are great as long as you know the problems you have to fix. Alot of the good ones are: HobbyStar: made the first Harute Final Battle ver and Avanlanche Exia then move on to Astraeas -MG Exia Avalance, RP 1-3 - MG Astraea -MG Astraea Type-F -MG Astraea Type-F Avalance -HG Harute Final Battle ver. SuperNova/ Model Heart: made redesigns but also copy of the metal composite Gundam Wing and Gundam Wing Seraphim -MG Heavy Arms custom EW -MG Deathscythe Hell custom EW -MG Sandrock custom EW -MG Altron Nataku EW -MG Wing Seraphim Daban: usually just copies kits but they made the first Blast Impusle and own design of the Astray Mars Jacket -MG Astray Mars Jacket -MG Jagd Doga -PG Avalanche Exia Dragon Momoko: usually copies metal builds but also kinda makes their own metal build kind of designs for their original kits like the First MG Testament, Deathscythell, the Astray Outframe D, and Blue Frame 3rd -MG Astray Outframe D -MG Blue Frame 3rd Model Comprehend: is also kinda the same company as dragon momoko but more on HG ktis and sd -HG Xi Gundam Ver Ka. CuteCube: first and last kit they made is the Woundwort -MG Woundwort

[@dumdud7869]

While I don't have it yet, I would recommend the Daban Avalanche Exia it also comes with a stand, and parts that allow you to convert it to the Regular Exia, R2 and R3.

[@sharkbaitcustoms6111]

The MJH 00 7 Sword G-inspection is an ok bootleg kit I've built. The best bootleg kit I've built so far would be the SuperNova Heavy Arms, as the other Supernova wing kits I've built had more issues to them.

I built Daban PG unicorn banshee and it was similar build like yours... Parts wont fit together and there were a lot of mould lines+ broken parts. The transformation was hell to achive so now it just stands in the corner since i dont want to touch it and finish it with decals and pannel lines xD

[@jayv6376]

The supernova mugen, hayate and other named liger feel like HG. Might be a easier intro to bootleg. You could mix it up and do the Shenx Azure Dragon. Would make some models pretty sick yo have a dragon wrapped around them.

[@arronjubaild.joseph6046]

The beam scythe effects in this DM kit are actually from the old Bandai HG 1/100 Deathscythe Hell TV. And no, that's not a typo. HG 1/100 line actually existed back during the Gundam Wing era. I still have the said kit on my shelf.

Hei mecha, will you ever do a review on Motor Nuclear stuff? Like the MNQ-05 or MNQ-03? I would love to see your review on their MNP-01 when it come out tho. Anyway, thanks for the amazing vid man❤

[@SaHOG]

please take a look at the Super Nova Sandrock Custom! I have heard it is a grenade but I still bought it anyway and it's still in my backlog. Would love to see your take on it

[@ronalds.v7130]

ive built my first ever bootleg 2 weeks ago.. daban's Astray Red Frame Kai MB version. there are some minor fitting issues esp. the v fin. and the manual is quite confusing you need a lot of figuring out. but its an awesome kit when finished.

[@sidusher1726]

i've built two supernova death stingers, two supernova heavyarms customs(one of them igel), a supernova bf02 sturm tyrann, and i can say supernova is very much where it's at. the supernova death stinger is.. a thing to behold. it is gigantic, almost as big as koto's hmm gojulas, bigger depending on the pose. i've built the claws from an extra and put them on the other to give it four huge claws and four mini claws replacing four of the normal legs, and it's standing on four legs without any glue, paint or supports. the heavyarms custom igel is by far the most dakka i've ever put on a kit, having FOUR quad beam gatlings(yes, thats sixteen seven-barrel beam gatling guns), with the igel equipment of one. for starters, the bandai version i've heard has trouble holding one double gatling up, and theyre smaller. the supernova version's gatlings are i believe double the size, and can be combined to make quad gatlings. all four arms(it replaces the custom's backpack holsters with two very strong versions of the mg jesta's shield subarms, and both of them are very capable of holding up a quad gatling) can hold up a quad gatling easily. the bf02 sturm tyrann by supernova is definitely the best looking OOB kit i own. as with the death stingers, all gold pieces are pre-painted in a beautiful matte gold, and the sturm tyrann even has a decent amount of the silver painted in a beautiful, matte, shiny aluminum. it's joints are all great, and it moves the sturm tyrann's big claws off the shoulder joints(on the koto version) and puts them on a semi-articulate backpack. zero complaints whatsoever, except for the fact that, when my rat escaped and pushed it off a nearby shelf, it fell from a very high position and broke the claw's "shoulder" joints, so im going to grab a second and put the extra big claws on mine along with replacing the "shoulder" joint on the backpack that broke. ps, its all undergated. TLDR; i cannot recommend the supernova bf02 enough.

That was a pretty early DM kit they've gotten better. And anything by SuperNova gundam or zoids is pretty banging.

[@shadygradyredZ]

Indeed got a few built and in Backlog

[@bryanmerel]

Their Berserk Fuhrer is AMAZING.

[@KimmermanStudio]

I was surprised to see you build a DM kit.

[@lobodefuego69vr2]

I have try a couple of Supernova kits specifically their take on the Altron and their Liger Murasame, and surprisingly both were pretty good solid kits, can certainly recommend

[@kismaash1689]

Try the daban 1/100 Dynames bootleg kit, I've heard it had no fitting issues and that it looks identical to the master grade bandai one. It may be illegal, but for less fortunate builders their kits are a godsend.

[@whateverwhatever4026]

Like a lot of other people have said, SuperNova Wimg kits are great. I built Heavyarms Custom as second kid back into the hobby and loves it. I do plan on buying a Sandrock and Nataku eventually...

[@XaoFakeNick]

Best bootleg I built is the Daban Strike Freedom. Because it is like the elusive Bandai metal build... and came with all the effects.

[@kentrillbg1]

I have a good amount of bootlegs/3rdparty - best ones are : DM`s Testament gundam - 2 pairs of different pairs pistols, amazing articulation, just amazing :D Daban`s Metal build Strike freedom - has problems with the build, but OMG does it ever look amazing DM`s MB Destiny - same as with the Daban MB Strike Freedom Super Nova - Altron/Heavyarms - they make the Bandai ones look like the bootlegs - SN`s have amazing quality,details, accessories, 0 problems with build ... just DAMN !

[@thanhhangnguyen9046]

I built the pg unicorn dragon momoko and the neo zeong from mechacore and they are so big and detail , extremely good should buy

[@LVGD346]

is awesome to see you reviewing this kind of kits, I found the Supernova kits pretty cool, also the last MG Jagd Doga by Daban would be a good kit to review

[@Pshpshpshpshpshpshpsh]

I’m also a fan of the curve shaft seems familiar… Whenever I put my shaft into the hands it’s also just slides into it like so… “You need 2 hands at a time” that’s what she said

[@Zephyrs009]

Would love to see you look at some of Effect wings 3rd party add-ons like their Hyper mega bazooka launcher or RG Qan[t] full saber addon

[@shadowvash07]

This was the first bootleg kit I ever built, and aesthetically, I love it. It's so much more menacing than the EW version, but build wise, it's definitely not as easy to put together. The beam scythe parts im almost positive are from the old school 1/100 Deathscythe Hell kit that came out in the late 90s/early 2000s, so its not surprising they aren't anywhere near as """""vigorous"""""" as the newer beam effects.

[@epsilon13th39]

My fav bootleg gundam kit i've ever built so far, mg akatsuki.

[@hitori_gurashi]

Oh my, is there any chance to see supernova gundam wing line in your channel? That would be an awesome video As much as how awesome this video is

[@fishpop]

That panning shot at 9:44 looked nifty.

[@Danishswara]

Thats some cool af gundam, even thought its a bootleg but.... LOOK HOW COOL IT IS

[@dethscythe7734]

That thing is awesome! Great job!
