Bootlegs and select chinese designed kits have been filling in the void Bandai left behind with their inaction to make new master grades these past few years...
I was a huge Bandai fan for years I have owned many MG, HG, & RG's once I relocated to Asia from America I started noticing these new Companies have alot more to offer now than Bandai for a reasonable price not just the same reused inner frame or kit recolor over & over again I still buy Bandai from time to time but $40-$50 for an HG versus the same price for a new companies MG automatically quality over quantity wins me everytime!
Honestly, the bootleg G-3's colors don't look good with that over-saturated blue, it should be closer to purple. If anything, it has more of a Gundam Base exclusive color.
Is the Stargazer 3rd party release you covered in the video separate from the 1st release bonus that already came out? I was trying to get a kit with the clear parts
i'm still confused how we don't have another PG Unleashed model i figure they would have made a ZEON something or if they wanted something of similar size, there are TONS of UC kits that would just need the outer shell pieces swapped out
bootleg kits needing extra work might actually be good because it makes us build slower, so we would run out of backlogs slower than what bandai is putting out 🤣
Chinese products start to grab bandai market..with price far cheaper thsn bandai, plus some get stand base and lot accessories..definitely will hit bandai 😂
The remaining Dragon Momoko crew joining Daban improved their kit releases some yrs ago. Can't wait for my Stargazer kit to arrive in a few days. Some months before Daban's PG Nu was confirmed that it wasn't a fake, the rumors and leaks for the next Daban PG had the silhouette of the PG Perfect Strike. Hoping that this year Daban will actually release it with the Seed anime becoming popular again. Since they already got the runners for the original PG Strike&Aile Striker Pack and they just need to modify the Aile Striker Pack and add more detail to the external armor for the remastered 1.5 version. Then they need to make the Launcher&Sword Striker packs so that it can be attached to become the Perfect Strike kit. Wonder what Bandai's gimmicks is going to be if they're actually releasing their own PG Nu since i doubt it will be lower in price compared to Daban's PG Nu. Maybe use something similar to Rage Nucleon's backpack for their PG Nu kit's release?
I've heard the Daban PG Unleashed RX-78 is actually quite good and very close in quality to the official, might be a good option for those that don't want to empty your wallet.
2023 is the year of bootleg and excited for upcoming kits for 2024. Bandai scalpers are getting wild and bandai is not interested for their customers only for mon y business. Bootleg is pushing for success and bandai is not listening to their customers.
