Woah, ok have to keep an eye out on the special boxes since there are some sanguo kits that I want but never buy, lols

Okie dokie since everyone here on RG Strike, I present you my mini review of everyone's forgotten Strike, the Gale Strike!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Pros :
1) Well it was cheap....RM50.00 from Warehouse sale whatdya expect, lol.
2) Suprisingly a reasonably big kit since they went to put the rear thrusters on the shoulders and had the legs extended.
3) A nicely done original face. I like the Gale Strike's face better than the regular Strike. It just looks badass to me.
4) Blades are always nice.
5) Nice they included the beam rifle. But hey, it's from the Strike anyway!

Cons :
1) The back pack made it top heavy, you'll need a stand if not it will slide back. Probably a regular problem with all back heavy kits.
2) The shoulder joint connector is hollow...You'll need to be careful or reinforce it or breakage will occur.
3) Like all Seed 1/100 kits, you'll need to open up the hands to swap weapons. I miss the old days of the 1/100 HG kits where you at least have moving fingers.
4) Shoulders and knees have at most 90 degrees movement, though it looks like it can provide more. It can't. Don't try it.
5) I don't really see the purpose of mounting the Shield on the back pack....
6) Scale for the feet is slightly out. I think the feet is a tad too big....
7) The decals given isn't gonna look nice since they are too big for it. Unless you measure the decals and start cutting and pasting, the decals would really look bad on it if you just follow the manual.

Overall :

It's really not that bad a kit if you don't mind the fugly design. If you can find it cheap, great. If not, better pass on it, as there better kits than this on full price.

I wonder will there ever be a RG or an MG? hmm.gif laugh.gif

lol, wat Agito n i meant is use fingernail to clean the nubs' whitish marks la

especially those dark coloured parts, after u cut it got leave behind white-stretched-plastic marks
rubbing with fingernail seems to reduce the whiteness

Yup, I have used this method for a long time now.

It can easy beat strike freedom.
But it can't beat the awesome of Setsuna gundam. Victory gundam can defeat Turn A by fly pass it.
And no way it can't beat the Shika Love love Tenkyoken of God gundam.

And I can't accept the pig head of Turn A ......... sad.gif

This is the first time someone called the Turn A pig head....

The Turn A and the Turn X are easily the most powerful MS in the Gundam franchise. Domon maybe great with his hot blooded stuff but no way is the God Gundam more powerful than the Turn A. Don't even get me started on Victory Gundam.....But seriously this is really OT here...
