Actually last time there is this set : http://dalong.net/review/etc/gcl8/gcl8_p.htm
It's quite big; the Neue Ziel in this set is as tall as MG RX-78-2. Sadly this set is no longer in production

personally i think koto kits are superb.. very satisfying snap fit process.. i would say in some cases, feels more fun than bandai thumbup.gif

of course, normally the prices are also more.. superb than bandai whistling.gif

Coz they have to manufacture their model kits in China, and require more manual labor than Bandai's (gunpla almost 100% by machine thus explained why there are rarely pre-painted parts included with their gunpla).

sorry about not saying things right. in the hurry to leave just now

i have check a Manuel on gunpla
the current rg and Hg are 13cm
but i got 2 mecca as you seen in the photo is not of 13cm
how can one tell be for buying a hg is as same height as 13cm
is there a place where i can check in the box? be for buying one?  hmm.gif

oh simplify it how to know is the gundams are 13cm?
*
Hmm if u want all ur HG to be 13cm, just find the MS that has actual height of 18m



QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jul 7 2012, 04:27 PM)
no such thing..
there is no extract size for gunpla..  all HGs all in 1:144 scale unless stated.. thats why you could even find 30cm in HG or even 8cm..

however there are some info on instruction manual or box the real size could be..
RX-78-2 gundam is about 15-16 meter tall i remember correctly
*
RX-78-2 is 18m, Wing 16m V 15m

bandai factory in china what... like HCMPRO, lower grade of gunpla like errr... action base all from china, weapon system too.

can see the quality if compare to RG and weapon system one.  tongue.gif

also can raise awareness of support original too to make a impact to TT HL those bootleg gunpla. (like iphone 4 effect?)

Hmm Bandai only outsourced their non-plamo stuff to China, since their plamo mostly done thru automated process, while non-plamo stuff (or stuff that comes pre-painted) need manual labor that is cheapest in China

No TT is not legit, as far as i know anyway. B-Club is 100% legit.

But the whole legit or not business is abit hard to judge since there are alot of things going on behind the scene. Some speculate that Dragon Momoko is a subsidiaries of Bandai, some say Bandai sell their defective/old molds to DM and DM make cheap kits base on legit Bandai mold so that Bandai could cash in on the sales of the molds which would otherwise been trash. That would xplain y some DM kits are so similar quality wise to the ori Bandai wan. But its all pure speculation anyway, and to be save just buy original kits.

Hmm actually the rumors have been going on even since b4 DM exist; around Bendi time tongue.gif

extremely confused with Bandai's marketing for AGE series
they released HG AGE-FX together with HG AGE-3 Orbital, but never, never a single hint of HG AGE-3 Fortress
and for MG too, AGE-2 was confirmed waaay b4 MG AGE-1 Normal was even released, but still nothing on AGE-3
same case with Mega Size 1/48, AGE-2 release was very quickly after AGE-1, but totally abandoned AGE-3  sweat.gif

Hmm somehow I think they tend to leave artillery-type variation out of HG; Force and Sword Impulse got their HG, but Blast Impulse can only be found in the FG line.
