    Not sure how important this is, but it’s going to be a cheaper dama. I dmd gt insta and asked, and it will be 70>. Possible that means more of them, we will see.

    That would put them more into the HG/Craft zone. That price point would be totally doable to be made in US right?

    Soooo made overseas but at $35 price point. That is wild. I’m definitely copping, but what are y’alls feelings on this?

    Sticky AF is probably my favorite paint so the GT shape on this tama at such a low price is basically a dream come true. The price point along with discontinuing the GT-1 shape definitely incentivizes people to keep purchasing their normal drops which seems like a good move as a company.

    Wiens said it came from DWI and it is sticky Af paint. He said Sticky AF specifically, so I assume it is, but I suppose he could have meant comparable.

    It would make sense for it to be sticky AF. Matt Rice is part owner of GT and also owns DWI

    I was hoping that these would still be something small batch but eh a gt for 35 bucks... I will definitely get one. Pretty stoked on these I don’t have any gt 1’s.

    My guess is on a boat in the middle of the Red Sea.

    Pretty solid guess. I’m guessing wherever they are made, they will be quality. I don’t think GT would risk their reputation, by putting their name on anything sub-par.
