Chinese Model Kit Knockoffs

Just went out today and found that there do exist knockoffs of model kits, like the 1/144 HG Exia. The labeling is instead in Chinese, and when you inspect the parts closely, you will notice that they are slightly deformed/damaged, and the parts have too much of a gloss. I’m pretty sure if you tried assembling the parts, they would be very likely to snap/break apart, etc.
