I never thought I will do a review on this kit...since I lost lot of some parts on this.. but a friend of mine asked me to make a review...so, here is a short review of my RG 1/144 Aile Stike Gundam.
PLATES and DECALS
I already lost the plates of this kit...since Its been built in the past before since I started doing reviews...so no plates and decals guys. :P and yes...I already applied the decals. Some needs trimming though..but really great decals :)
LEGS
The feet is in a ball joint. Nice details and good color separation. can bend fully around 180. and look at those parts separation when it bends. >.<
WAIST
the front and back skirts can move independently and it in a ball joints. It also like pop-out when you do some posing. the sides skirt can be opened for the Armor Schneider, which will be posted later.
nicely detailed and nice color separation. :)
ARMS
The arms can bend at two points and can fully bend at around 180. It also has a part separation when it bends. Nice color separation. They will also give you a pair of close-fist hand and a pair of 1-3 trigger finger hands just like in a MG kits. its in a ball joint though...so make sure you dont loose them. the gray-top part of the shoulder could be move upward.. this is for the other Strike's Striker Packs together with the RG 1/144 Skygrasper. I dont have it though.. :/
(Ive lost some pics on the arms and hands...this is the only pic i recovered so sorry for that)
BODY
Unfortunately you will only have one shade of red, blue and white. Just like any ordinary gundams. But it is nicely detailed The cockpit can be opened but no Kira inside. The hips can bend forward, backward and sides. Yeah...nicely detailed.
HEAD
Yup it is strike... be careful on the white v-fin...it like to pop-out.
MOBILE SUIT
Hips is in ball joint. The arms can bend upward, forward and backward. Legs can move forward, backward, unfortunately a little movement on the sides because of the side skirt..but can still do nice pose. Here are some shots together with the Armor Schneider
The Emo Strike...
WEAPONS and ACCESSORIES
Aside from the Armor Schneider.. you will also get a two pairs of beam sabers (two with pegs and two for the backpack) I lost one the beam sabers though, a beam riffle (which has a peg that I also lost...clumsy me) and a shield.
The beams also have details and needs panel lining. It comes with a pink beam sabers...shorter than the beam sabers of 1/100 but still long for its scale. great color separation on the beam riffle.
(It also has a small Kira Yamato...which I accidentally broke)
and even though I lost the peg on the riffle.. it can still hold it pretty well. I didnt expect that... a little loose, but it holds. thanks to the 1-3 trigger finger hand :D
Bandai will also give you a connector for the action base (which will you need for the Aile pack) that will be connected at the crotch.
AILE PACK
The Aile pack is separated into two parts. The wings and the boosters. the connection is a little loose but it holds. Great details.
When connected at the back, it likes to fall off.. its just inserting the Aile pack on its back... no pegs nor connector. but it holds...but a little loose. now once connected at the back..it will really turn the MS a back heavy...its hard to pose it on its own...so you need a action base for aerial poses. any way It will not called Aile Strike if its not in the air. :P
And its signature pose
OVERALL
Really, this is a great kit. some parts really like to fall-off once you do some posing though... the skirts, the aile pack...and yeah, the skirts... but once done posing it really breath-taking kit.
articulation is also great even though the side skirts hinders the movement of the legs...but you can still move it to side in between those skirts. And you need to be extra careful on not loosing some of its parts.
Oh! I forgot, it also has an inner-frame (just like the other RG's but im just so lazy to put off the parts to show the inner frame).
But all in all..IT IS REALLY A GREAT KIT...
