I tried to search for Gundam toys, but soooo manyyyy!

 

Don't think they are worth anything, just curious about their origins.

I had the same gundam figure and tried to sell it online and couldn't so I sold it at a flea market and now it seems as if you have it.

Maybe it floated on up the continent! Who knows, it could have been made on the bottom tip of Panama!

 

I'm now thinking it's a cheap dollar store toy, considering its hollow plastic and the pointless gimmicky light on its chest.

 

The paint rubs and scratches make me think it was made ten years ago, or more.

I am extremely positive that toy is a bootleg of burning gundam from the G Gundam series.

Thanks for the help!

 

More internet searching has turned up this similar bootleg.

lol that other one looks so terrible. That one resembles the Gundam Epyon but if its a contest win, then that would explain the similarities

So I was just randomly watching videos by Ashens, and the bootleg's brother makes an appearance! Pause at :37 and you''ll see "Terminator Bumblebee"

Hollow plastic and chest mounted led almost guarantee that it is a bootleg. Also keep an eye out foe softened details and awkward colors. plastic flash is also common on bootlegs. Your Gundam  seems to have most of these.

Its a bootleg, those are sold here in Panama in many stores.
