There was Bendi, GD Model and now Little White Dragon (xiao bai long).
This is the latest bootleg kit in the market.
These are my field report:
There are NG 144 Gundam X, NG 144 Gundam W, NG 144 Endless Waltz, NG 144 Seed, NG 144 Destiny and 1/100 Destiny.

Gimmick or not? They all come with a quality-check sticker. All boxs are sealed with a transparent official LWD sticker (not shown).

They mistakenly categorize all Gundam W as Gundam X kits. And how Latest became Catest?

I bought a NG 144 GuAIZ at ($4.90 x 20% = S$3.90) to try (bacause I cannot find the official GuAIZ!!! sob sob!!!)

A close examination reveals that it is manufcatured by GD Little White Dragon Toy company. 'GD' = Guangdong. GD Model????

Tree inspection shows that the parts might still have problems with snap fit. Plastic still feels different from original. Some bleed moulding still present. Overall still not up to standard but better than the GD Model (at least no short-moulded PC).

I apologize if I have offended any people in the process of this report.
