- When I saw the Special Forces Industry Sentinel, I knew exactly what I was going to build as my first ever Chinese 3rd Party/Gunpla-adjacent plamodel. I love its UC style, and both build variants look awesome. Tune in tomorrow (?) to watch me build it live!

Oh Solomon Physalis chef's kiss they say
Solomon can be labeled MGEX of 3rd party
I think the second form is supposed to mimic the G06 Mudrock, same leg thrusters and shoulder cannons. This is a dream come true for me because I love the G06
meanwhile in Japan back in the 80's there are these small and now bankrupt Japanese companies ripping-off Gundam in its heyday and these knock-offs are given the unified nickname "Gangaru", some of the old stock of these kits are still available in shops that sell old retro model kits, warning though the engineering on these kits suck ass even by 80's Bandai standards.
2S where did you get this from?
Man finally someone that doesn’t say bootlegs. These kits are way too different to be called bootlegs
If this is your first 3rd party kit then you're missing out
Yes he 100% 1000% is missing out.
Ruling,Motor Nucler kits or any inera kit is straight up craazy
I never got any third party kits because they felt a little sus to me and I was scared to try one out but this video is starting to convince me otherwise
Yes, Thor from Hemoxian is amazing. As good as anything Bandai has ever made in 1/100 in my opinion.
@@wade5743 there hundreds and hundreds of videos of 3rd party kit on UA-cam.
Not really sure but for me, the Zero Gravity Judge kit started it all. The kit is amazing for its value. Solid die-cast frame, tons of details, and its shelf presence is just menacing in a good way.
Same actually, i love the design and the build process is fantastic
I wish I could get it for a fair price though, kinda hard to get it without paying extra now
@epistarter1136 For sure, wish they would bring another color variation so people who didnt get them at msrp can do so
And evry kit from "Mortor Nuclear", there kits are awesome! I love my "Judge" but my "Bai Qi" has so much more color separation, they both excel. Next kit is going to be "Sky Defender" that kit might just One Up the Judge
the Solomon is like a MGEX level of quality, lots of great 3rd party kits but as you correctly pointed out, much of it is pretty hit or miss...I also have the MW genesic gaogaigar, it has also a very hefty metal frame and sometimes the plastic would be very brittle and require glue to stick together, not for beginners for sure
Most 3rd party kits have waterslide decals, even copies of HGs. The quality is very hit or miss though
True already ordered 2 xfs woundwort, the first is white its so so, then i feel they improve when i bought the woundwort titan color
@@xcezz7979 Also bought both because the cost of a Woundwort and 2 Hrududu II from resellers was nutty (Canada, so no direct PBandai access).
Mine were incredibly loose, but fixed that with by replacing the Polycaps with leftovers from Bandai kits and thickening a couple pegs/tabs.
@@stevenhirtle7000 i always have a problem w pbandai price, it can be made for a decent kit release glad 3rd party make a copy. i have mk ii titan from bandai when i place it with hazel ii form bootleg i can say the color is close only the plastic is little scratchy. i already order the woundwort psychoblade n rgm spartan, hope it would be available 2 month after this. usually if a filipina order it the same day w indonesia for the same distributors, indonesia will get it more late than any sea region, i guess im fine with that as long the kit is safe
Theres alot of awesome 3rd party kit
The Chinese have upped their game when it comes to gunplay been buying a lot of them favorite so far is motor nuclear
Zero Gravity Judge Moonlight
Its Glorious
When I built my first 3rd party kit it was really fun to build but it was a tight fit and not a snap fit like bandai
a flaw trade off to cheaper price and more inside the box
About a year ago i also starter building "3rd party" kits, And now its what i build the most, From things like Zero Gravity Judge to Cao Ren from Motor Nuclear. Because what you get for the price is unbelievable. Especially Motor Nuclear, they might be spiky and caused me to bleed couple of times by just touching them, but what is Basically HIRM kit for the price of Cheaper MG is really something not to be missed.
i'm not some bandai purist i've bought bootlegs and even 3d printed my own parts its your hobby and money.... but lets be real if you watch Badnai video on how they make kits from idea to shelf... its obvious why bootlegs can be sold so cheap and why we should keep calling them that imo. at least the straight up copy ones. the originals more power to them
the design really rip off gundam so yes , it is 3rd party gundam
A lot of the 3rd party kits have mold release laid on pretty thick. So if you paint your kits, you have to commit to making sure every piece is either lightly sanded really well, or to let the pieces soak in some de-greaser for an extended period.
I think just like with anything it depends on the brand. A few of these chinese companies are knocking it out of the park
I really wanna get the 1/60 talgeese looking third party lit
Man... US vendors mark up third-parties/chinese kits like crazy. Some kits are even selling two or three times the original asking price in chinese yuan. Thank goodness my local vendor in SEA priced these fairly, only marked up by a bit.
This is not a 3rd party kit. It's a 1st party, original product. 3rd party I'mplies that an entity that is not the 1st party (l.p. owner) is offering the same or similar enough product that it infringes on the 1st parties product, to the 2nd party. This product though may take some slight inspiration from the Sniper II does not nearly infringe on it.
It saddens me that Bandai has stopped really putting in the effort to create master grades or putting them behind the P-Bandai overpriced color variant wall with limited production runs... A couple of series never even got them. To be fair the HG line is far more popular and they have come a long way in terms of detail and frame design but for me they're just to small and finicky. So yes China is the answer for better or worse. Quality wise most are on par these days. Exceptions exist like the Star Destroyer (Exia) which is an utter piece of shit that continually falls apart, but it still looks cool.
you know it's a Sentinel kit when the box comes damaged, seems to have happened to every single one of them
Some 3rd party are much better than bandai overpriced slop now
bandai has a patent on the multi color runner technology thats why some parts are sprayed
Unpopular opinion, I don’t really like how the inner frames to a lot of these kits are metal.
I’m still holding out hope for a 1/100 GM-3 and the Gundam M-1 Astray..
It look like GM Sniper II and then it look like the dagger from Seed
my last build was solomon gp02
Amazing kit
Inspired kits are fine to me but the exact copies bootleg is so meh.
If they named it not Gundam then it's not a Bootleg
Can't wait to see more, just subscribed :)
Pretty sure its a redesign of the mudrock
Wait till you see the sky defender
3rd party kit consumers are eating right now
"Not Gundam, honest gov!"
The intro to this video speaks to me. I got into gunpla about a year and a half ago and I've fallen in love with the MG line. Unfortunately I decided to get into gunpla when Bandai seems to care the least about the MG line.
I have been looking at these "3rd party" kits on Ali E and they are pretty expensive. Some times much more expensive than official MGs. Does anyone know where I can get them for cheaper?
I got mine from Gundam Central Shop, it's a bit cheaper than AE. Gundamit is another go place to look as well, although they focus more on pre-orders and don't keep much in stock.
I called it China IP kit
Plastic quailtu are iffy and lil tight. But all in all id say everyone should have some bootleg in your collection
I have 2 already and I ordered a 3rd one today
I have 3 pban bootleg
Woundwort, x2, and tr6 hazel2
@abeeocta2599 nice, I have the destiny hiene, the white hg deathscythe hell, and then I ordered the hg unicorn
The one bootleg I'm definitely getting is the PG Phenex, you can't get it for a decent price outside of Japan and even when you're in Japan, it is still insanely expensive sadly
i'll say that nowadays bandai can't even keep up with how good the chinese kit are... the last very good kit bandai printed was the rg hi-nu. on the contrary in era aurora zao workshop oracle and the takumy model annichiation were so fun to build with an amazing level of detail. the oracle is the only one who did not have a stand in ms form but is so heavy that i don't think a base will hold it.... all in all it's about one year that i build only bootleg kits and i'm pretty much satisfied except for the daban bootleg that are straight up low quality bandai copy...
These surpass Bandai MG.....(Especially since Bandai decided to stop making MG lol)
D: Now this will makes you a war criminal in someone's eye. That said, if you liked this kit you should definitely get Solomon GP02. Its like the recent Zeta Ver Ka except in GP02 form.
I’ve been waiting for my eternal star glory from usagundamstore since December :(
Still cannot wrap my head around how this Chinese kits can price their kit that low.... I mean yeah labor is cheap, but come on at this price this is practically stealing...
SNAA is kinda snap fit though. I built the 1/144 and feel it's more like an RG rather than just HG. 1/100 though... I want to try build the Flame Keade from Aether Studio
I'm not sure about that kit specifically, but i have built a few third-party mech kits from zero gravity, in era, motor nuclear, and a few others, while occasionally, you will get some that are a fun build still can be a pain(I'm looking at the 1/100 star destroyer a third party amazing exia). Most have been a joy. And a good portion of them are far better than what bandai has produced. Give em a shot, and you may be surprised. I'm currently working on the in era Aurora, and so far, it has been an awesome build.
Heads up MOFIHO has reprints of the Dragon Momoko Akatsuki MG in stock being made by DADAO.
You gotta try out the "Sky Defender" man. You're missing out alot.
Got my first kit recently. Motor Nuclea Aobing it was.
You should try the Aurora by In Era. Its solid as a rock and amazing original design.
Just build the kit that started it all, the zero gravity judge, the best out of all of them. It is so good i had it since day 1 of release and i accidentally dropped it from a 2 meters tall shelf. The stand broke, the actual kit dented my floor. I m still shocked
Most of my 3rd party kits are the robots from the nadesico series
That connon form is very Mudrock inspired!
you should really check out the solomon physalis
Bandai atm:
" ̶3̶ ̶B̶o̶d̶y̶ ̶P̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶"
"3rd Party Problem"
There is also a 3rd party Garplant too.
As long as you have a mini drill set your good to go on 3rd party
This more like a 3rd party Gundam Murdock. The cannons on the back. The Alex type leg thrusters. The Gundam head muzzle with no slits. Then the color scheme except no yellow feet with added shields.
Actually, this thing looks more like a Jesta rip-off! 😅
Some of them are pretty sick
My first 3rd party was the Dragon Momoko Deathscythe Hell TV version and I have yet to finish building it because the build is horribly tight so I think I stick to 3rd party accessories or kits that people will swear their life on
Just building my BT saber tiger gold after staying on my backlog for years and my god the plastic is really brittle. I used a lot of super glue just to finish the backpack + weaponry. The pegs also need a lot of filing unless anyone enjoys the white stress mark on the counter-peg. People better stay away from copied design 3rd party.
Despite the bad experience with copied design, the same can't be said for some of their 'original' design. I built red ghost kiyomori and have a blast with it. Despite the inner frame is 100% plastic (unless you count the screw) the details are superb and the manual is easy to read. The result kit is rock solid and really satisfying.
whatrs ur twitch
I've done a couple 3rd party kits, namely In Era's Thunderbolt and Howling Star's Nebula. The former is incredible (and massive) but the latter is... a bit shaky in design. Not *bad* but some decisions are confusing. Like, the entire model is made out of ABS, and the connection pegs can be ridiculously tight. I've noticed that a lot of 3rd party kits are all ABS in general, dunno why that is.
ABS is very durable and very cost-efficient. It's why toys rely on on it a lot, like Bandai's G-Frame line is entirely ABS too because it's from the toy division and they're expected to be played with
@@gtf234 Makes sense. Still a point against the nebula though, there were times when I thought the build was just fucked up and cemented pieces together, but no I just didn't push pieces together enough because of how stiff it was lol
Honestly third party isn't that bad of a word like I can see how someone would think it could be a bad word but really it just means a company that isn't associated with the official company when it comes to a type of product
I mean just ask hobbyist who collect Transformers figures a lot of them certainly don't think third party is that bad of a word since there's a surprising amount of times where the third party product is even better than the official stuff
Third Party is fine, Bootlegs are not.
@@noonethatspecialyup
Can someone who has some experience in these please tell me which "brands" are the best? I'm kinda interested
Orange Cat Industry and Infinity Nova from my experience. Thou I haven't tried them all, my backlog has Motor Nuclear, The Chaotic Era, ZZA Model, Dianchang Studio, Auldey, Iron Model / Tiechuang Studio, Mecha Core Industry, Soul Vogue and Saying Zone.
@@brendanhay5788 thank you! i'll check those out
its hard to know because unlike western companies a lot of these companies don't give a shit about brands or are understandably very protean in natures (the bootleggers) so you might have like 10 different brand names that are actually just 3 companies operating out of 2 factories and one of the companies holds bootlegs so they create new brands every now and then for some releases
"strike freedom fighter" sounds really ironic coming from china
what? 3rd party???
thats chinese COPY kit
bandai not proove anything
Bandai owns the multi-colored runners tech so they're totally planning on releasing this in Japan.
It does not.
I used to be P Bandai only
now I am more interested in what Mods the 3/4th party does
dragonmomoko the best 3rd party
There are plenty of great non-gundam plamo you could have featured.
Modded bootlegs being called "third party" is gross, just own up to it and call it a bootleg.
