The reason I ask is because third party kits are nothing new, but at least with Gundam these are usually very limited quantity and/or are kits for which no 'legitimate' version exists.
It's weird that Maketoys not only openly shows off their stuff online, but even has an official distributor in Japan and other countries. Usually for this kind of thing you gotta go to a local shop and get it, or buy from a third party vendor online. The way Maketoys does it seems so brazen.
