well, another haul.
damn. Daban MG Epyon EW!
and yes, its a bootleg.
I've been eyeing on Daban quite a while now.
If u dont know what Daban is, heres a short history on them.
First of all, the mother of all piracy bootleg gunpla is TT Hongli.
TT Hongli is like the brand to look for when u want to
buy bootleg gunpla. dont go for anything else.
Other brands?
Jargon = Shit
GHD = Shit
nuff' said.
TT Hongli quality is quite avarage, theres always problems like loose joints,
gaps, policaps and others. But hey, it can be fixed. no problem.
Then after the court issue with Bandai,
they then "rebirth" into a new brand that is Gao Gao!
but, still the same, average quality crap (but still acceptable).
then the bootlegging continues. After a while,
Gao Gao said to themselves, hey,
we will brand ourself again into a new brand, Daban!
WTF, i dont even know what happened.
On the same time, they launched a new brand named
GoGo. who the fuck came out with these names?
Though Daban claimed that they are going to be a more
quality oriented in pirating gunpla, i think the quality
is still fucking same. From what i have seen that is, but
i'll give a more in depth thought about this once i have
completed MG Epyon. Currently they have come out with
MG Astray Red Frame and Epyon is their second release.
Now, about GoGo. this is the one that u should be
keep an eye on. They first released MG Hi Nu EVO that,
mother of farts, looks fucking AWESOME!
using the same inner frame as MG Hi Nu but with
a new look for the armor. Sort of like the plastic version of resin kits.
and the price is higher then your average bootleg but damn
it does goes up in a short time.
the redefinition of badass!
(Pics are from Gundam Central)
I mean the first batch is RM120, but for the second batch,
it already has gone up to rm160! That is crazy and
i do regret to not getting it when it first released. :(
So guys, do get their next release, the HG Sazabi EVO,
as im sure the price WILL goes up after the 1st batch release.
Prime Example of FUCKING Awesomeness.
Just look at the details on the shield!
Thats all my rambling about TT Hongli/Gao Gao/ Daban/ GoGo.
Maybe i'll make a full detailed post
about bootleg gunpla next time. :)
I enjoyed reading your post man, thanks for enlighten me.
