Hi there... I'm quite new in this forum... I stumbled into this forum when I was googling for TT Hong Li Gundams... I used to collect Bandai Gundam back in the 90's starting with Gundam Wing... But now, since I've been collecting Transformers' toys, collecting Bandai Gundams could be such a burden to my pocket... So, I decided to buy TT Hong Li's. 50% cheaper and 90% same quality...

I already have a few of the fake Gundams in my possession: TT Exia (90% like the original), TT Murasame (same as Exia), LWDragon Vayeate (Love the glossy effect that all the other Bandai Wing doesn't have) and GD PG Wing Zero Custom (Not that perfect but, easily my favourite model ever...)

While browsing this thread, I stumbled upon selsonliew's comment... I dunno if the PG Wing that I bought is the same one that you mentioned... It has blue box overall rite? The one that I bought is GD PG Wing Zero Custom 1/100 scale... Here's some of the pics...





I don't have any complaints for this model... It's hard to find (Pearl coating, man... this one is actually the limited edition one...), not that hard to assemble (a few super glue here and there... minor flaw) and you get such a beautiful figure... Worth the money.... I dunno how much the Bandai one cost... But spending RM98 for such quality is quite worth it...

P/S: Assembling this sucker can post a real challenge to novice modeller... The plastic could easily break... So, proceed with extra cautious, everybody... Know your skills before buying any one of the TT Hong Li gunpla.. I'm gonna go to megamall tomorrow to get either 1/100 or 1/144 Akatsuki (whichever available)...

Yes, they do come withstickers and decals... I bought TT Hong li's Murasame Gundam and it comes with 2 sorts of decals and stickers... One which is transparent and the other one is the stickers that sticks to the body...Just like the original...
I didn't buy the akatsuki coz the price is quite expensive (RM 108 for 1/100)... So I bought TT's Gundam Destiny and LWDragon's Astray Blue Frame (both 1/144) for only RM50 for both...

Just completed Blue Frame (quality not so nice.... feels like cheap plastic but the joints are all intact and good... So... Worth the price... Only RM19.90 at Megamall Penang).. Haven't have the time to finsh up Gundam Destiny... I'll post of all my fake Gundams later when I have the time...

Just go to Megamall Penang (Pacific)... There's a shop at level 3 that sells TT Hong Li, GD and LWDragon brand. MG Unicorn is displayed on their counter. And there are a lot of Strike Freedom sold there... Can't remember the brand but from my observation, I think they have it in all grades and scales. I nearly bought 1/100 Strike Freedom last week. The price is RM59 if I'm not mistaken... Legend Gundam is sold at 39.90 (after discount)

tons of em, all bad quality, with chinese names, easy to recog, they dun have bandai tag, ori names, and box quality bad.. oh... price is half.. i bought two fake "gundams" back in 2007. looks like the Zaku Warrior and strike freedom, scale 1/144.

uber lame..

Maybe you bought the "Bendi" or "LWDragon" ones.. As far as I know, most of the TT Hong Li brands have similar quality with Bandai... The only flaw is the stickers... The joints are great and not loose at all (I haven't bought one with loose joints so far) Even if the joints are loose, it still can be fixed... Just put some super glue on the joints and let it dry...

P/S: Anyone who's interested in buying TT Hong Li's 1/60 Perfect Grade Gundam Wing 0 Custom or MG Gundam Unikorn, head to Megamall Penang... The shop on the ground floor (near HK Video) has all these and much more...

Here's my opinion... Why I like TT gundams? I like them because of the flaws... I like the challenge in assembling them... Putting efforts to make them looked original... That is satisfactory on its own...

Whoaaa!!! I'm your fan, man... Thanks for enlighten me to buy Kyrios... I bought the 1/100 one and it can also be transformed into Starscream's style... Kudos!!!

Here's my TT, GD n LWD collection....


TT's Destiny Gundam


TT's Murasame n Destiny Gundam


LWD's Blue Frame (Notice that the bazooka is copper in colour, not black... Nice)


LWD's Blue Frame with two beam sabres


TT's Tieren Ground Type with functioning spot light (actually, it's my camera flash)


TT's Exia (with full lining...)


TT's Kyrios 1/100 (The eyes are modded... coz the stickers don't actually stick...)


Size comparison... 100 vs 144


GD's Wing Zero Custom... Not a good quality, but a few mod here and there... Quite nice to display...

Now... these down't look "pirated" or "bootleg" now, do they? You must have invested a lot for those PG's man... Congrats... But the result looks very satisfying...

If there is anyone out there that has a confirm place where I can get my hands on the TT HongLi PG Wing Custom. PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW. Thanks in advance.

Head to Pacific Megamall in Penang... Not Penang Island, it's actually in Prai... There's a shop on the 3rd floor that still have it... Get it before somebody else snatch it... But.... It's kinda overpriced laaa... RM350 kot...

TT Strike Noir




90% like the original... Recommended for those who doesn't afford to buy ori Gundams... Like me (coz I concentrate my money on buying Transformers products)

TT's Avalanche Exia... IMO, the Bao bao one is better than the original... I read a few comments on the web saying that the original Avalanche has issue... The legs seem to easily spread and its hard to create dynamic poses... TT's Avalanche legs / crouch are much sturdier.. Check it out!!!



I got this after watching Prime92's review on Youtube... Well, Like what he said in the review be careful on the transparents parts coz they WILL NOT fit correctly... Some modification must be done... Mine was broken into two... had to superglued it... But, the overall result is very satisfying...

Sorry... Something else was on my mind and mistype the name... I wanna put Tall Tall and I end up putting Bao Bao... My mistake... It's fixed now...

Whoaa... there's another wholesaler outside Megamall? This I gotta see... Okay, I'm actually a regular at Legend (no. 3)... Here's my tips if you guys ever wanna buy the kits there... If you wanna bargain for the price, always try to bargain with the taukeh, not the leng lui and the leng chai there... However, the taukeh is not always around, but his wife (I think so) is always at the bookshop near Popular... So, if you couldn't get a good bargain from the workers, you can always go the wife (She's the tall lanky lady with spectacles) at the bookshop and beg for discounts... Well, they actually provide discounts for 1/144 HG models if you buy two or more... And there are variety of discounts on NG n MG 1/100 as well... As far as I can remember, 1/100 Strike Noir n Silver Akatsuki i always on discounts... 10% that is...

Added on January 11, 2010, 3:09 pmHere's TT Hong Li's GNX-III that I bought recently... I think this dude looks better without the stickers on its leg armour... Surprisingly, the stickers for this model are quite good and cut well... But, still the quality of the stickers are not as good as Bandai...



And here's my LWD's Blue Frame 2nd L that I bought at Amcorp Mall for only RM35.00...

LWD? Quality? They are not meant to be said in the same line... For me, LWD's plastic is the worst in quality, that's why it is sold very cheap... 1/100 are sold below RM50... If u wanna buy bootlegs, go for TT... However, if u can't afford to buy TT, LWD is good enough... Good for customisation... yes, I do agree that the stickers doesn't stick... That's what happened to my 2nd L... that's why the face looked weird... The stickers seem to peel off by itself... Another thing, if u buy LWD or GHD, be sure that u prepare yourself with superglue n all those modification items... Coz u will really need to fully utilise them... Conclusion: Buy TT... GHD n LWD will give you headache... Hahahha... But, for me, I really love THAT challenge...

You guys always speak about this Chong guy... Where's his shop situated?? I'm going to Penang this Sunday... So, maybe I'll try to find his shop...
