Yep I slowly moved to HG 1/144s since it's readily available, cheap and I have more space for them. I wish I could continue the MGs but my current living space is small 🤣
Xingfeng's JMS and Xingdong are under investigation after a courier was caught transporting bootleg Gundam products to Thailand and revealed the suppliers. There is still no confirmation on whether this is related to Bandai. But let's remember that last year they all took out their products from stores for a month or so, and came back out of nothing later. Worst that can happen, are they coming back with another brand name. Not all KO gunpla suppliers got caught, Star for example did not get hit by this.
Yep I heard about this and honestly I've been expecting it. 🤣 I'm not really worried either...China has one of the most loose copyright laws...give a few months and these guys will be back under a new name and a new packaging 😅
The only bootlegger Bandai is not chasing after is Gaogao 🤣 Gaogao is so crappy it's not even under The Big B's radar! 🤣 Bandai is like: "Oh Gaogao...that sh!t brand...yeah we don't care!" 🤣 But when they hear "JMS".... they're like: "JMS!? that sonnuva beeetch!!" 🤣
@@chompilotoyreviews 🤣 not long ago bootleg gunplas mostly from Gaogao/Daban was so bad, in terms of plastic quality, fiting issues, and overall gunplas mold/design, their products looked so ugly that it didn't worth to get gunpla KOs same if for less than half Bandai's price. Things got a lot better recently, i have some JMS, Star, WeiMei bootlegs here and they look and feels so good in hands for such a cheap budget that i love them as much as i like my Bandai suits.
I got a interesting fact about this KO If you put the og backpack into this back adapter it will be extremely loose Either way that won't fit at any point
Sorry for the late reply! Well it really depends on your need. I think these bootlegs are worth buying because I like to find cheap alternatives so I can customize them and kit bash them in the future. Considering of course that you are prepared to experience sub par quality and expect flaws. Buying these bootlegs are always a good alternative if you don't have the means or refuse to fork out tons of money for a Bandai kit that you'd chop up and practice on. ☺️ At the end of the day it's your money and it's your call if you are gonna buy or not. I'm always here to point out whats good and what sucks about these knockoffs
@@chompilotoyreviews i got it but it was the first bootleg i got that came missing parts 🤣 The yellow chest exhausts are missing, so i went and put an yellow sticker on it. Anyway got a full refund on this so it became free in the end, worth it 🤣
The only stickers it came with would be the sticker sheet that was featured on the parts check section of the video ☺️ other than that no there were no other stickers
Received this kit today. I was about to give a bad review to the seller, thinking the decals were lost. Thanks to this video, now I know there's no decal after all.
Sleggar's insignia is a dealbreaker for me. I'll have to pass on this one. Thanks for the review and merry xmas!
Cool! All these KO gms making me wanna do 144 custom builds

Only get bootlegs of P-Bandai kits
Yep this one is a good reason too. ☺️ The bootleg version makes it more accessible and affordable for the mass market. ☺️
