Chinese Gundam rip off goes from fake to fug

Chinese Gundam rip off goes from fake to fug photo



First of all, bonus points if you know that fug is totes the new abbrevs for "fugly." Extra bonus points if you managed to read that sentence and understand it.

Ahh, the fake Chinese Gundam. Like most other Chinese knockoffs, the Chinese Gundam was a lame copycat of the original life-sized Gundam in Japan. Unsurprisingly, copyright owner Sotsu chose to sue Chengdu Floral Land amusement park for having stolen the likeness of the 59-foot-tall Gundam.

In order to avoid getting completely owned by Sotsu, the amusement park dismantled their lookalike and tried to wish away their mistakes. Now the hulking robot is back, and is more hideous than ever. The "Gundam" has been modified to barely resemble its first design, and instead now has several spikes, and armor-like additions, along with different joints and an even worse color scheme of yellow, red, black, blue, and orange. This thing looks like a colorblind kid got ahold of a box of crayons.

Of course now the robot statue bears a resemblance to the MS-07B Gouf, but we'll pretend we don't notice that. Now I think this thing's just an eyesore. This robot (or whatever you'd call it now) might as well be taken down entirely instead of pretending not to be a major rip off of all things Gundam in general. 

Hit the gallery to see the statue's ugly new incarnation. Yuck.

Having personally built a Gouf I can say - No, don't insult my Gouf like that! :P

The Gouf has much more awesome shoulder spikes with a more purposeful design. It also has bead rings in MUCH more annoying spots and a better look over all.

Also most importantly, Gouf do not have spikes on its feet.

No no, I'm not raging or anything here. I'm simply defending the honor of the first gunpla kit I ever built. -chuckle-

Yes, it resembles a "goof" more than a gouf. At least Goufs are not so confused that they have V crests up top.
Greatest article headline of 2011.
I'd agree, but /m/ is slowly but surely turning China Gundam into the greatest mechanical being to ever exist, and I can't help but be amused by it all.
Change the color scheme and that thing would look pretty badass in my personal opinion.
my first thought was they killed two koopas....
Ok, going from being sued by the Gundam guy, to being sued by the Voltron guy. Super smart, China.
Actually Japan loves the new China model more than their own lol

S&M Gundam Whaaa????
Oh for the love of!
It now looks like a power ranger villain! -Gags-
Yeah they should make it red, black and gold!
So they've decided to take a Gundam, then combine it with a Gouf, with a Zaku, with Voltron, and finally, stick an old He-Man chest belt on it?

The He-Man touch is what makes it original.

Also, I love how you can see tell it is just a Gundam Kit expanded to a large size, because one hand is still designed ready to hold a Beam Rifle. I mean, seriously guys, Are you even trying to hide it?
WTF is that? It look like an ugly mix of Bowser, he-man and scorpion. If you going to copy somebody at least make it look good. Now my eyes hurts e_e
And so the war begins.
^I'd like to side with Japan, but we all know who's taking over the market and well,.. the world.
Ugly. Are they gonna put that crap on the Top Gun plane too?
Rotfl It looks like it could pass for a model from Turn A with a jack up color scheme
Doesn't China have there own idol to build a giant version? Why not erect two giant statues, one of Ip Man and one of Bruce Lee? That would be most excellent!
I really found this hilarious but maybe the colors just need to be changed and it would look more pleasing to the eyes.
