Post knock-offs and bootlegs you found on the net or IRL.
I want to laugh at the poor people version of the real thing.
>>
The Ani-Image models weren't bootlegs though, they were very deliberately based on known franchises (the same company later made toys for SDF Macross). Their price point was not much different from other model kits.

Is it a knockoff if it's made by the guy who also design the real thing?

My favourite example of this is the Cloudsaber from Sunrise Eiyuutan because Okawara totally ripped it off for the Saviour. It also has the weird cockpit window Layzner has, and since Okawara said that Layzner was going to transform at first, I guess this counts as a Layzner ripoff!

Pasting a reply I made a while back:

Space Black Knight English dub:

>Gundam aired Apr 7, 1979 to Jan 26, 1980
>Space Black Knight aired Aug 2, 1979
It doesn't add up. I'm assuming some work was outsourced and they copied the cels or something like that.

Bonus:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I45t35j8TSs
>Calls Gundam, Gets VF-1 Valkyrie
I know Macross outsourced their animation to Korean studios so they could've taken the designs from there.

The Condom collection did exist. The Gunpla was purely fan-made.
>>
>>22940550
Space Gundam V directly traces some of the settei for Macross like the cockpit and a few of the stock poses. These movies were often directly financed by the bootleg toy makers so it makes sense that sometimes the animators would reference the toy. If I recall Ed Glaser talked about how there would be back alley deals for copies of the designs the local Korean studios would get from Japan for their outsourcing work.

I remember in the 90s I built a Bolt gundam lookalike that had a dark colored head(same color as the body). And it could transform into a jet-thing. I'm gonna assume it was a bootleg like these because I can't find any information on it.

Those Guldan kits straight up lied to you about what's in the box. ARII just repackaged some older bootleg shit and pretended they were Mobile Suits now.

The QRD is these were older ARII kits repackaged with bootleg Gundam inspired box art to confuse parents and the like during the first gunpla shortage. They're all named after their pilots so this "Ultimate Warrior Don" belongs to a Mr. Don Hoffman. He's much more handsome in person.
