Bandai Hobby Strike Gundam Seed 1/60 Perfect Grade Model kit

I bought the strike PG because since I bought PG skygrasper i wanted the strike to accompany the aile pack on it.PG Strike gundam took sometime to assembles sinceI like to sand the parts. I recommend having a plastic cutter because it helps cutting the parts out of the trays easier and nicer. I believe it took me about a week with 2-3 hrs each day working on it. I didn't really paint much on the strike gundam beside the thruster on the back. The led lighting was a nice feature. PG strike mechanics design interiors are amazing. How everything is connected with one another. The hardest part of this will outline the V's on the head without applying too much pressure on them. This is nicely challenging kit from MG! In my opinion after working 2-3 master grade you are ready to tackle a perfect grade or if you worked on model kits before. Also don't forget to have a trusty plastic cement laying around incase if anything breaks you can always fix it.Pros:Perfect grade that shines in details and very nice model kit display on the desk especially when you have the stands and aile pack from the skygrasper!Painting isn't required to have this gundam look very nice.Cons:Money (But hey gotta spend money sometime)Hand that holds beam rifles doesn't stay straight for a long period of time, it will eventually lower down.You will need to buy the skygrasper in order to have the aile pack and the stand.

Fantastic kit. It was a great build and is easily one of the best perfect grades you can purchase not to mention cheaper. It really is as flexible and sturdy as people say. I like to think of it as the War Horse of perfect grades. Powerful and Reliable. Which is why Bandai used it's inner frame for two other perfect grades and two other perfect grade strikes. Hey, If it ain't broke why change it.

With this being my 2nd PG (Perfect Grade) kit, I was expecting there to be more "work" with it. My previous PG, the Wing Gundam Zero Custom, required hours of work due to the large amount of screws in the kit, so when this kit was on the way, I preped my screw divers for the occasion. When it got here, much to my surprise and delight, it only had one screw.Now to answer the question I had posted about the light kit: it is a "you build it" light kit but unlike the Zero's it's not wired into the back pack. It's a small battery pack that slides into the head with a single LED.This kit is amazing in many ways and is a major show piece in any Gundam collection, or as a stand alone display. Just be prepared to give it a LOT of shelf space.

PG Strike Gundam is perfect in almost every aspect. It was fun to build, very poseable and delightful to look at it on display.Three minor gripes —1. The big sword game warped in the box but it's easily fixed in hot water2. Could have included a battery for the LED light for convenience, especially considering that they don't cost that much3. Peel-off stickers that come with this kit don't look that good. I'm going to have to order water slides from Ali Express.

I've built 10+ MG kits of varying size and complexity. This was my first PG kit and I love it.The pieces are large, especially if you're used to building 1/100 or 1/144 scale kits. One leg (toe to hip) is as tall as an entire 1/100 MG kit. The entire scale of this kit will really blow you away.The kit is very detailed, both on the internal frame and the external armor. When you flex the arms and legs the armor on the outside splits to reveal some of the inner workings. This gimmick is very similar to the MG kits, but infinitely more impressive.If I had to choose one thing I didn't like I would have to pick the LED unit in the head. It's a little difficult to put together and it doesn't come with batteries.I would recommend this kit to anyone that has built a few MG kits. It's a lot easier to work with, but the shear number of parts and joints might be a little overwhelming.I plan on picking up the PG Skygrasper and Aile pack to complete this kit. Depending on where you purchase these parts, it might be cheaper to buy them as one kit.

This is my first pg kit in 25 years and I was a little intimidated at first honestly after building the feet I’m having so much fun with it great buy makes me consider other pg kits in the future

I got this for Christmas, I loved it, built it right away, but after I built it, tried to stand it up, and it collapsed immediately, parents wasted money on me for this 1 present, and I had to turn it into a (cool) diorama, wanted a cool big Gundam I could play with but nope, it wouldn't stand up :(

bought this for a gift and actually bought the wrong one. i was suppose to buy the other perfect grade gundam. but the person still enjoyed this one. i personally think this one looks cooler
