Wrath of the Boot Legs: Part 5 (China Gundam Edition)
After the success of the life size Gundam made in Japan in 2009 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series, a Chinese theme park soon made a version of their own a year later. Once word had spread out that there was a replica of life size Gundam in China the Japanese news reporters had a field day with it. To escape any lawsuits, the theme park denied they had such an attraction though there were several pictures roaming the internet about it. So to get rid of the evidence, they attached tubes, spikes, horns, and a nuclear symbol to the chest to make it look different. Surprisingly enough, the Japanese weren’t offended by the attempt, rather they reviled in it. Several fan arts came into the light, so were games and videos about China Gundam. Now we’ll have to see if BANDAI will actually make model kits of it. This is an odd case of Successful Boot Legging.
