JMS RGM 79S GM SPARTAN REVIEW! Is it better than XFS!?

[@GrandpaHobby]

Xfs has a extra glow in the dark visor.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

That one too is another good point! ☺️👍

[@Eins.1]

I like your reviews, it feels you don't shy away from the flaws of bootlegs. Some reviewers don't mention fitting issues that much, maybe because it's common on bootlegs. Are you going to review any variants of 1/144 Zaku GTOs?

[@Eins.1]

and where did you buy your jms po? I only see xfs from local sellers and JMS from china.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I appreciate the feedback 😊 I try my best to not only say the good things about the kit. I may have gotten it from watching Transformers reviewers who point out flaws alot! 😁 But I try to be unbiased as possible when making a review no matter how much I like the kit 🤣👍

[@chompilotoyreviews]

​@@Eins.1got from this shop! Check out shopee if you are also here in the Philippines ph.shp.ee/inwiX7U

[@lowegule135]

So, is jms one of the best choice for bootleg compared to other bootleg? ​@@chompilotoyreviews

[@chompilotoyreviews]

@@lowegule135 Yes! JMS has shown consistent quality plastic with minimal issues with fittings. Early releases though are prone to molding issues, other than that easily the top bootleg brand right now. :)

[@Zherratul]

Nice review bro. Seriously getting the urge to get one of these. 😅

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I will sure cure that grunt itch even if it's a small HG 1/144! 🤣

[@mrazharnoordin]

excellent!!! waiting for the desert & snow version

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I got the snow version stuck in customs 🤣 I'm waiting for it patiently I think the Anavata kit will arrive first and the RGM Spartan Snow is gonna be next 😅✌️

[@drewquitco6019]

I got lucky my XFS was solid no loose parts, fitting was great. I was expecting JMS had better quality this time JMS had a bit of a bootleg syndrome.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Yes I'm now thinking, maybe I was also just unlucky about JMS being loose...but I remember someone commenting in the shorts I made that JMS Spartans head pieces really are loose and he had to mod it! 😅 Oh well a bootleg is a bootleg and we get what we pay for 🤣✌️

[@drewquitco6019]

@@chompilotoyreviews Personally if its a small part I just cement them just in case.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Same here ☺️✌️

[@NARSULL]

I use DSPIAE joint tightener pen instead of cement, work perfectly both for loose parts and for loose joints)

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Absolutely! ☺️ I personally use nail polish to tight joints and parts. ☺️

[@YU_ZU98]

Hmm, I was going to get the JMS version too but I guess I’ll stick with my xfs version. My xfs copy is really solid and I think the only downside with it is the lower plastic quality. Unless my local hobby shop stocks this kit I won’t go out of my way to buy this from china lol. Thanks again for your review

[@chompilotoyreviews]

You're welcome bud! 😁✌️ I'm always happy that I can help out in small way! 😁

[@castler7272]

I have this as P-Bandai and it breaks my heart a little bit to have it bootlegged. Then again, it's completely Bandai's fault not just having all these kits as regular releases. I'd certainly buy most of the originals instead.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I agree. It's alil difficult to build an army if the kit is PBandai. So this is a good alternative ☺️ but if you have the means, I always recommend to support and buy Bandai. ☺️

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I buy Bandai and I buy knockoff and bootlegs ☺️ I support Bandai too because they came up with the IP for the product anyway and the anime. What would bootleggers copy and improve on if the there is no original version! 🤣 Bootleggers are just a fun and affordable alternative to buying plastic kits and it's always a welcome option for me. The bootleg scene just opened an affordable means for people who can't afford the hobby or would like to experiment and find cheaper alternatives in kit bashing ☺️ That's why I mentioned if you only have the means, if you don't have the financial means to do it.... there's always a bootleg kit available ☺️

[@luminocuratoria1335]

That's one way to look at it.

[@bizophone]

I have no problem with bootlegs of hard to find/out of print items as long as I know it's not genuine/a reproduction. As far as PBandai goes, recolors, special coatings and accessories are fine, but I can't stand it when a really cool, new mold is an exclusive.

[@hongphucvu8599]

Also the JMS is missing a panel line on the forearm compared to the xfs. Also since you have both kits, which one do you think have crisper panel lines and micro details.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Thank you for pointing that out! ☺️👍 Really sharp observation! ☺️👍

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I would go with XFS now that you mentioned about the missing lines. ☺️👍

[@Averagedisttiledtubig]

Is it alright if i use tamiya cement for the loose parts?

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Oh absolutely!! I personally use clear nail polish but tamiya cement is also something i use 😁👊

[@keichi1984]

GOOD REVIEW!

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Thank you! 😁 I appreciate the feedback! 😁✌️

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

This would be a great one for the bootleggers to do a oversized version of. Go six inch 😂❤

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I heard a new player is upscaling HG kits like the rising freedom... it's definitely possible that they might upscale these new HGs 😁✌️

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

@chompilotoyreviews that would be absolutely fantastic. Some people like those that did the mjh astray bootleg of the Bandai hi res. This hg deserves it 👏 🙌

[@KaeyaAlBarik]

I wanna get these to test out painting and weathering. Would these guys get brittle if I ever add top coat?

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Nope ☺️ I've seen people repaint these new bootleg brands they had no issues with customizing it ☺️ just be sure soak it in dish washing soap for a good 30mins to an 1hr then rinse well let it dry and then paint away

[@ahmstu_]

waiting for the one with gm sniper parts and some other gms

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Ooooh I got that pre ordered and I'm just waiting to complete my Spartan trio! 🤣✌️

[@huydoanquang9636]

In Vietnam, the price of JMS and XFS is kind of the same, XFS is a bit more expensive tho

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Oh that's good to know! Thank you! ☺️ Interesting, XFS has ok plastic but I still think JMS has better. 🤔

[@orenpierrealfonzo7444]

Next xfs rising freedom please

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Got it pre ordered and will receive it around 1st week of Aug ☺️ you bet I'll review it 😁👍

[@orenpierrealfonzo7444]

@@chompilotoyreviews thanks from Indonesian

[@MikeTheGamer77]

hte price for either is fine considering it is a bootleg of a P bandai kit. That said, its only ok because of how limited P bandai kits are. If they were normal release kits, then no, the price increase is not ok.

[@chompilotoyreviews]

I agree! 😊 I really think JMS is getting alil too confident knowing that they have the best plastic quality around compared to the other bootleggers and KO makers who are making copies of Bandai kits. 😅 The audacity to jack up the price of bootleg kit is something else! 🤣

[@FighterDoken]

Good to know...so JMS isn't better than XFS.

[@randomnetizen7065]

Just my funny thought.. Jms bootlegging xfs bootleg gm spartan.. That is why its a crap

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Bro...you have just mindblown me right there! What if...what if JMS is the one copying the other china brands and their not copying Bandai directly at all!? What the flip! 😳😅😂🤣

[@wtfisgundam]

De casualidad hablas español?

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Sorry I don't speak Spanish.. 😅 but I use Google translate 😅

[@rubymajiorne9732]

Try not to time lapse your video. Your constant movement n shaky hands is making your video hard to watch...

[@chompilotoyreviews]

Thanks for the feedback!😊 I'll try to find a more stable phone stand. I try to keep the videos short under 10 mins since some viewers mentioned my old videos were long and dragging. I appreciate the feed, thank for being part of the engagement of this channel! ☺️
