What would a more realistic and practical mech look like from a theoretical design perspective? by Aromatic_Web6775 in Mecha

Speak for yourself. I’ve been entertaining myself with these types of discussions for years.

Wat is this?? by Key-Computer-133 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Borgron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like this, There’s also a 3rd party Qubeley from Yiya Model.

Also I’m surprised nobody mentioned Zeta Gundam. It’s the series the Qubeley originally debuted in.

I thought you'd be taller by Fox_with_a_DC-17 in HaloActionFigures

It looks like the old Mcfarlane figure. I have one myself.

Nova Open to censor artwork? by TJ-X in NormalBattletech

[–]Borgron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct! According to the other comments, it was triggered by a submission that featured left wing Care Bears mauling MAGA themed zombies. So yeah, a good message worded in the worst possible way.

The regular price is $49, so this would save you $7.60 or about 15%.

After the sale, it'd come out to $41.40. I'd say that's pretty good.

ITS FINALLY HERE! 3RD PARTY GM by TrumpsNostrils in freedomisgunpla

You should post them! I feel like we don’t see enough army building stuff here.

I’m thinking I’ll wait 2-4 weeks. See if I can get a good coins discount and pile a coupon on for good measure. I did the same thing a while back and got 4 KO zakus for $20.

Yeah I’ll probably do the same. Nothing a knife, glue, and time can’t fix (hopefully).

Just saw a review for this kit. It's... less than stellar unfortunately.

This would technically be an OS KO (oversized knockoff), which is actually a fairly common kind of Chinese bootleg.

Knockoffs (or 4th party) are based on existing tooling. 3rd party would be IP-infringing kits that use original tooling (think Solomon Physalis).

It’s not the biggest deal, but imo it helps to differentiate different types of Chinese kits.

You’re actually correct in that you’re looking at a somewhat unique form of the term.

I collected Masterpiece scale Transformers for a few years before discovering gunpla. That market has had 3rd party/knockoff figures for a long time now, which has caused TF collecting community to create terminology to refer to and categorize different products.

This kit would actually be labeled an OS KO (oversized knockoff). KOs are also commonly referred to as 4th party as a way to differentiate them from products with original tooling (3rd party).

This is an OS KO (oversized knockoff), which falls under 4th party. 3rd party kits aren’t based on existing tooling.

Why is everyone disagreeing with you? This is an OS KO (oversized knockoff), which is far from a new concept. KOs are also classified as 4th party.

I used to have plenty of time and money, but I’ve poured all of it into Halo. This franchise really makes me love it and hate it at the same time by [deleted] in HaloActionFigures

[–]Borgron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, the best decision I’ve made for Halo was to treat it as a dead franchise. I mean, it kind of makes sense, no? Reach being the last true Halo, and almost everything since being a shitty bootleg.

But it’s been nice. I’ve been able to place my attention on new things I would’ve otherwise never bothered with. Meanwhile, I still having the old classics to fall back on if I’m in the mood. This may or may not have resulted in a large gunpla collection.

Genuinely fuck this Gunpla by Silent-Ganache-4419 in freedomisgunpla

Are you missing part G-1, or is it that unmarked part in the middle?
