Discrimation is abit harsh. As a gunpla builder i don't know why someome would Buy a recast and lose all that detail and build brittle plastic. But, it aint me who's wasteing my money so i cant hate on anyone who buys tthongli Im sure if it gets to out of hand bandai will shut em down with colony sized lawsuit Edited by GaoGaiGar, Feb 17 2010, 04:00 AM.

I think folks are upset. Honesly it botherd me alot, but tthongli isnt a big deal to me. Most of the hogh level builders ingore it , the vets ingore it, the pros more less ingore it . so its no biggie I went over to hobby fanatics so see what they had to say about it. and its moreless the same responces you would see here and the guys at Hobby fanaitcs are Gods of gunpla even compaired to me . and as for the law suit. Come on dude . people have been sewd for Less in other countrys where they think they can be reached. im sure bandai has a army of lawers to crush counterfiet companys when they start to become noticeable |

Unless Bandai lost a big market share they won't file lawsuits. Heck sales outside Japan can't compare to sales in Japan. Look at gaming industry, they won't release some games outside Japan because it won't sell that much. |

Can not file lawsuit because China much too important to damage relationship for primary manufacture site of Bandai goods. |

Me getting tired of the "people tired of these knockoffs" Nobody forces you to buy any KO kits and I doubt you can convince those who buy KO kits to stop buying. And for the people doing hongli reviews in youtube, you can't stop them anyway. All you can do is try to make your own review vids stating why Bandai's gunpla is much better. I think ZR0 is doing that so just follow his lead. Whether you like it or not you can't say TT hongli sucks coz it's not human. Lol |

I don't think TT Hongli has made a copy of the Unicorn's Gatling Gun, but I know of resin re-casts that have been made of it. Not sure which company has put this product out. |

To the best of my knowledge TT Hongli actually include the Gatling Gun with their KO Unicorn kit. Regarding KO reviews on youtube, IMO the only fair way to review a KO is to present it side by side its Bandai Original kit. This would allow a fair comparison with the original and clearly present to viewers what detail and quality they are sacraficing in exchange for the price saving. |

I'd like to see he do it 100% of the time, its the only fair way to present a KO review IMO. Can you remember how the KO SF faired against the real one (I unsubscribed from her channel last year and haven't been following he KO reviews). |

I'm gonna tell you now,, if prime makes all here KOreviews comparing TT and Bandai,, more people WILL get TT hongli. You get what around 70-80% (and constantly improving) of Bandai's quality for less than half the price. Be careful in what you wish for.. As much as possible I don't want too many people to see this kind of stuff on her vids..

Why? You not want more people buy KO? Or you not want more attention so that authority take action and shut down operation? |

Basically it would be better for everyone if Bandai gunpla sales will prosper in NA. I want english manuals. What can I say I'm bipartisan and happened to be really open-minded.

But that's completely mad! mad mad! a TT Zaku II ver2.0 for 1100 PHP is like 23 USD? You can get a perfectly good REAL one for around 30USD even looking on eBay right now! Why anyone would be willing to buy KO's at that kind of price is beyond me. |

Since I bought one just to compare and mr. CharMander ask me kindly so I think I'll give my reason although I am sorry I got no picture to show because the kit is else where. I got this Astraea type -F 1/100 for about 18 bucks here's the review: THIS THING SUCKS and why's that? CONS: 1. You need Pliers to combine the parts since this kit has BAD PRECISIONS and I got my finger hurts. 2. The material is rubber like, so much like plastic not acrylic hard. I can bend the pocket knife of Astraea like 45 degrees. I think it's made from recycled plastic bottles. 3. The stickers = failed 4. The surface is like matted texture so it would sucks to paint. 5. One you combine the peg and hole, you almost cannot detach it without damaging it. PROS 1. If you want to make battle burn of fire exploded diorama and want to melt the kit, this kit rocks. I am a person who buy thing because of quality and value and I would say from the same price HG Bandai product cannot be compared at all with this KO. |

Thanks for posting you opinion of the KO kit, it sounds like an awful kit. Was the Astraea KO a TT Hongli? Edited by tc012009, Feb 17 2010, 03:58 PM.

Im referring on what you said that " they compare you as a GOD of gunpla ". If you refer on your siggy its not a work of a GOD of GUNPLA its like a work of a BEGINNER to me. I think you need more more more more more practice, go ahead and kick your ass |

I second that, think before you type anything. Easier said than done, I mean seriously, Paint job is a hard type too, technique is hard to create, so don't be so naive. As for the TThonglis, if you want it, get it, if you hate it, don't get it, it's such a simple concept, but further argument just makes it redundant and retarded.

Further argument is really pointless, if you don't like just don't. As simple as that. CharMander is just too worked up with this. |

Lol i find that funny since ive been doing this for 11 years. COmpaired to my work you work is so so. are you seriously gonna sit there and call my work BEGINNER'S work with your Bland work. ive seen your work im not impressed. compaired to my paint jobs they are sub par im not gonna post pics of my work. Just search my name and see the work iv'e done. My boss title isnt a self proclaimed title. it was GIVEN to me in the Chatroom. When it comes to custom painting i am the boss. i can name some people that are better than me on this fourm. BUT YOU ARE not one of them BY A LONG FUCKING SHOT. And you need to learn how to read. i said THEY ARE GODS OF GUNPLA. and they are . You work doesn;t compare to mine and IT SURE AS FUCK doesn't come anywhere close to the pros at hobby fanatics. Like i said. search my work on Gundam eclipse. AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK SIR. |
