The funny part is if it wasn't you, you could actually manufacture and sell those with a nice success ratio.

I mean, you've effectively got the beginnings of a bro cap going on there just with different mechs.

Your first post was the troll, tp.

How is that trolling"

I am providing pertinent information for "gundam fans" and borderline-gundam fans who would be outright "ROBBED" by GirlDC

Most Master-Grade Gundam Kit "heads" would fit VERY well atop a keycap... they're all 'about that size....

Most kits run $30-80, Only the big accessories included kits go over $90.. which is the minimum price asked for by GirlDC


ONTOP of that ,, the GDC cap is clearly designed to be easy to cast, forgoing key detail elements of GUNDAM...

Do not purchase if you are unhappy with Prices.

We will not be forced to buy.

I have not say if you do not know the difference between hand products and plant products.
Also say, it's the difference of the material.

Only up to you whether to purchase.

.. I've edited the title and op to this thread.. as I respect the fact that GDC is advancing the keyboard hobby genre.

.. Perhaps they should edit their rates..

$130 is -usury- <- this term seems to be thrown around alot these past few days.

I can tell you're a Gundam outsider or you wouldn't make such a silly remark.

My key cost $32..

And you can make one in all of 10 secs to order the gundam kit, 20 secs to complete just the "face plate" and 30 to drill 4 little holes in a keycap, then just plug it in

Or if there is a complaint, which ones you do not like about
What if you change your power?

I think complaining only lip service is that there are people who do not have the ability.
To understand your feelings to the people, it is necessary to prove as a result.

In this case, hold down the keyboard than talking
People to make a cheap KEYCAP better shape I KEYCAP of girldc
I think your horse that there is convincing other people and more supplies.

I think you can do people
After that, I'll be your first your fan

That's exactly what it is.. Though there's no glu, I drilled holes into the cap and the inserts from the gundam head plugs in directly.

Instead of TOY though, it's actually from a Master Grade Playmo, if you don't know the difference you're not a gundam fan.

Though I'd say Gundam models aren't too bad on average MG are around $100 each, but at this point I'd rather get keyboard/keycaps/mouse lol.

What's the difference between MG and PG? I'm guessing MG means Master Grade... but what does PG mean?

PG means perfect grade.  ;D

Perfect Grade

The highest quality kits are known as PG (Perfect Grade, introduced in 1998). These 1:60 scale models are made of even higher quality plastic and metal components. These kits include parts that have to be secured with screws, and often require some minor wiring for small LEDs. The market for the Perfect Grade level of models is limited due to the higher cost, often topping $200. Perfect Grade models are a true challenge and their construction can take a few days.

If you're only going to buy 1 gundam kit.. then get a PG, because MG and below are quite "small" for display...

PG jumps out more...

you can also get those "Big Scale" ones whatever they call lol.
I have at my parents home Strike Freedom Lightning Edition, Strike Gundam (Striker Weapon System), and a Freedom Gundam.
Funny thing being my dad wanted me to put them on the entertainment shelf in the living room, so our TV entertainment cabinet has 3 huge gundams on it lol.

Actually if this is your first time getting Gundam model kit, I don't recommend starting with PG.  Your brain will explode from all the parts that come with.

You can start with the regular 1/100 scale ones they are typically decent size and quality.  After you get used to it I'd suggest you go for 1/100 MG ones since they're in my opinion a good size and good amount of details.

PG 1/60 is too big for me since I don't have that kind of display space or money (runs $250-300) at the moment.

Actually spending that much on one would be the hardest part. But I would love to build one. The biggest one! Hah

lol yeah it goes something like this:

1/144
1/144 HG
1/144 RG
1/100
1/100 MG
1/60
1/60 PG

1/144 in my opinion is too small, though 1/144 HG has decent amount of details and 1/144 RG just hurt your eyes.  It's tiny and has A LOT of details.

1/100 is what I'd normally recommend it's cheap, decent quality and big enough.  Though typically I only buy 1/100 MG myself.

1/60 is pretty big but it's usually very lacking in details, so it look a bit plain at times.  1/60 PG is basically big and has lots of details but expensive.

And depends on how hardcore you get some people would airbrush them but I'm too cheap so I just get a fine thin marker and marker in the detail lines.  You can use eraser if you draw it wrong somehow it will erase markers on plastic.

http://dalong.net/  is a pretty good Gundam site this guy buys everything there is.  Granted we can't read Koreans but it's nice to see the pictures, you can navigate through the top.

relating to the OP, i think tp4tissue's cap is instantly recognizable therefore is better, being serious.

though i have nothing against people buying GirlDC caps; i just hope the people buying them aren't strapped for cash because that would be money better spent on other stuff here at wallet rape hack.

If people are strapped for cash and want to spend what little funds they have on a novelty keycap... thats on them...
