Do you guys have a favorite custom gunpla you are looking for like my Custom Jestas? If so let me know in the comments below! Personally my favorite customs are probably Gm Spartan customs. Also if you guys see anything in the video that you wanted its likely on Hobby Link Japan! Check it out and support me as well! shop.hlj.com/joshualux

P.S. the jesta is pretty much the upgraded GM but with better articulation and fairly cheap in Japan and here in the USA at hobby lobby so they're great for custom ideas and grunt building

Well, early UC (like 0083 with your GP01, or 8th MS team with EZ8/Ground Gundam) have alot of real banger designs. Kinda sad, that Bandai treats those so poorly - but those are more pupular outside of Japan and USA (Japan is heavly favouring SEED, while USA seems to be more into AC - aka Gundam Wing era - desings.

I tried Buyee but I couldn’t find anything as well painted and cheap as those customs you found, someone please help me lol! I wanna buy cool painted gunpla for 30 bucks!

@Joshua_Lux 4 ай бұрын

I forget what I did but I eventually found a post I liked and copy and pasted into a google translate app. And I saw a part of the title said "Custom gunpla" in japanese so I copied that and pasted it into the search bar into Mercari Japan and I saw a lot more results. Kinda like this カスタムガンダム but I don't think that will get you what you want. Also I searched for like a really long time to find stuff I really liked a lot of it was kinda crappy customs I saw and a lot of it was overpriced. So keep trying! Gambente 頑張って! (don't give up!)

Umm.... do you have a tip on selling custom gunpla?

@Joshua_Lux 4 ай бұрын

In Japan? To be honest not sure but Im pretty sure a lot the stores I mention actually buy customs off you but I doubt you will make too much money this way In the U.S. probably sell it online or to a fb group dedicated to custom gunpla. Some people make there livings by making customs and selling them online.

@TurzorTorden 4 ай бұрын

No, like, in general.

@Joshua_Lux 4 ай бұрын

@@TurzorTorden If I were to sell custom gunpla I would personally use facebook marketplace to sell them and maybe private facebook groups to advertise them. Saying this I have no experience selling gunpla of any kind. So I don't know too much there.
