DABAN Model 9907 OP-EX 1:1 Generation Toys GT-3 Transformers IDW Optimus Prime review

[@MisterSouji]

Id like to point out that this company used to bootleg a lot of bandai model kits, until bandai went after them. Youll notice thier logo is a knock off bandai logo.

[@archfxt3619]

A: hey can i copy your work ? B : sure , but just change it up a bit A : B :

[@Death3336]

I bought this because of this review and I have to say, I love this thing. I had to stiffen a few joints in the arms but that aside he's great.

[@tomasturza2178]

How did You do it?

[@nathang7463]

@hellscr333m Just got mine and the shoulders are so loose the arms fall right over with gun in its hand. How did you fix yours?

[@shadowolf06]

I bought it too, how do I stiffen the arms , mine are slack?

[@TheShadowKarl]

I got this Daban version and I absolutely love it. I'm so happy I purchased this.

[@maui_idw7644]

I just got one and his shoulder rotation was very loose. I took him apart and used clear nail polish and it fixed everything.

[@TheShadowKarl]

@@maui_idw7644 sorry to hear about the QC issue but great fix. Mine is pretty good on the tension.

[@maui_idw7644]

@@TheShadowKarl Thanks much. How is yours holding the gun? I love the way MakeToys did it with Striker Manus with the rail system. The slit peg doesn't do it for me.

[@TheShadowKarl]

@@maui_idw7644 mine holds the gun very well but I do prefer the rail system also. That said no issues with the weapon staying in his hand.

[@andihuang6760]

I missed the GT version, well, for economical reasons. This might be friendlier to my wallet. And I keep telling myself this is an old mold.

[@osenator]

I got him last week and love him. Goes well with my other 75 Optimus Primes.

[@archfxt3619]

Dang....75 ?

[@emmanuelsanisidro1587]

Good shot Ben. It also has a Matrix btw. I got my piece and it's solid! He's much more acceptable than what others say. He's a good figure.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

They do gundams, I wish daban would do ko versions of the bandai mini-pla kits...

[@bryanmerel]

So, because Bandai sue, daban now boots Transformers instead. Clever girl.

[@BensKOllectables]

I take a look at Daban 9907 a cheeky bootleg of Generation Toys GT-03 OP Ex , what do you all think of Generation Toys being a “target” for knock offs

[@BensKOllectables]

Rohan Clancy oh I’ll check ... good shout

[@jawarakf]

@@BensKOllectables generation toys made great toys put in creativity with modernized looks. Their best work done was the gravity builder, wish they would make die cast oversized version of each constructicon as big as Wei Jiang Optimus. Its rival toyworld already moved up level to compete against weijiang and BMB. Can't wait for you to review the new bumblebee movie optimus and last knight optimus

[@Autobot032]

I'm 50/50 on it. On the one hand, Generation Toy put all of the work and effort in. On the other hand, it's all IP theft and they're getting what they give. Guess it's par for the course. *shrugs*

[@jawarakf]

@@Autobot032 you should know that competition makes things better. That's why KO masterpiece are getting better and better first by copying then renovation. First it was Weijiang then came BMB and now Toyworld is trying to seize the throne. Hope Generation toys would upscale and up level too to get into the league.

[@Autobot032]

@@jawarakf I do know competition is better, but this is out right theft. That's what's being discussed. That said, I think a lot of these companies need to step up, price accordingly, and turn heads. Instead of "lookit what we made!" it needs to be "look, here's what we did, this is what it's priced at." and we walk away happy with empty wallets. A good example? Open & Play Springer. Well made, good plastic, smooth transformation, priced really well. We need more of that.

[@neuromancerXL]

Ahh the infamous Daban model...Ive heard a lot about this...great review!

[@railgunrenegade5275]

I got my one shortly after your first look video. I really like this guy. Never had the GT one. Still have to transform him but he does seem straight forward enough

[@leepicciotto]

So glad I bought the original around the time it came out and the place I buy from had it for a crazy low sales price. I've made several custom heads for it but wish one of these companies would release a head pack for it(obviously would never happen). Figure looks amazing with the resized gcreation,mp10, bumblebee movie prime and the head from the idw upgrade kit for combiner wars prime. Would love all or even some of those heads with LEDs from any of these ko companies.

[@Philybase]

Is there a oversized version of this?

[@channelwithout]

A KO of Fanstoys Phoenix was teased some years ago, but nothing ever came of it. I guess perhaps Fanstoys are a lot more protective of their designs.

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

Here's hoping they do a purple version.

[@RosyRecluse]

I'd love a nemesis coloring too.

[@g.b.f9859]

I hope you are right about GT selling rights to bootleg their stuff, I really like GT and I would hate to see them go out of business due to KOs. Though I do have both the GT devastator and eventually the KBB KO because I like that scale for it better.

[@bhuianggoro6830]

Yee, daban going to crazy, not only gundam, but also optimus

[@idiotproofdalek]

You should seriously market your videos as ASMR Ben, your sub count would triple. I feel very relaxed and sleepy after one of your videos, thats not a criticism of the content!

[@mapendieck]

Love this figure!!!! Anyone know what type of battery this takes? Mine arrived without one. Thanks.

[@RID01S]

I bought the original Generation Toy Op Ex for $100 on eBay 💯

[@evilvillain631]

I cannot find reviews for that figure anywhere

[@SupremClasDevastator]

Hope they do the gt-02 tyrant as well

[@OEAgent01]

Hey Ben - Does the IDW Prime head from the Primo Vitalis upgrade kit fit on this figure without interfering with the transformation?

[@Platinum199]

My head won’t go down

[@sazinmollik6425]

It looks really metallic

[@fatenabu1]

They are doing a smaller version as well.

[@BensKOllectables]

Dustin Gibbons yeah the idw kit style

[@fatenabu1]

@@BensKOllectables Will you be reviewing it as well? Sort of looking forward to it :)

[@NathanKidd501]

Hopefully they make a version of Generation Toy's stealth bomber jet Megatron.

[@evilvillain631]

By any chance are you gonna review TW - BS01G Steel Lock?

[@Baliken100]

how come on TF direct the prices are so low? I mean I'm not being funny they literally will say $12 for a $90 figure...

[@Baliken100]

you do realize that you're not describing which one is which when you say it's "next to the whatever version", right? you might be able to tell but we can't tell dude I have no idea what you're talking about I'm so confused

[@ArionRDAW]

Were the joint strength not changed at all?

[@BensKOllectables]

Arion Wong doesn’t appear to be

[@TheShadowKarl]

My feet seemed way sturdier than reviews for the GT version. Also the doors pegged in better than the reviews said. When I mess with the arms they're not coming unpegged like the GTs version seemed to do a lot in reviews. I missed out on the GT version and I am so happy I got this 1:1 copy.

[@hiyazaki09]

i have a Bunch of Daban made Gundam and i think i will buy this

[@BensKOllectables]

Lee Hiyazaki I’ve heard good things

[@hiyazaki09]

@@BensKOllectables Daban gundam are a little on the hard side in there peg are so many and you will know what to cut that you don't need and some need's cleaning of extra plastic other than that there solid and cheap and now there entering the transformer business ill but more of there product's.

[@josedurbano2730]

I don't care. Looks great. I want it

[@jon9550]

Price differences aren't THAT dramatic. I can buy Generation Toy OP Ex for jaat about US$100 from any of a dozen reliable retailer. The Daban version is selling for around $US60. The Daban version looks like it's better than 60% of the quality of the GT version, but IMO the GT version is already very fairly priced.

[@novaprimetime2439]

Generation toy is better? They are the exact same,literally i love my daban👌😁

[@maui_idw7644]

Not only that. You could could 2 Daban ones over 1 GT one

[@lancertreepuffer]

Feet misformed

[@BensKOllectables]

Slow DK oh were they ?? Oh the blue panel over the silver

[@novaprimetime2439]

I bet you feet are still mistransformed lol

[@3live-stream]

I think it’s a disgruntled ex employee or employees from generation toys

[@volkancanx24]

Please dont Do this while transform skip o cant understand
