The colours on this MG strike look alot like the perfect grade strike. Especially the darker blue upper torso and the orangey-yellow V fin. Great review.
For the shoulders you need to push HARD for the arms to lock all the way on the peg, the peg does reach far through the polycap but it takes some force. That makes the armor really secure.
The Strike is a pretty solid model overall, despite some looseness. It certainly has some respectable articulation for a dated kit. The only real gripe one would have with it is the lack of pegs in the hands. The best MG IWSP to buy in my opinion is the Lukas' Strike E + IWSP. It's based on the MG Noir and comes with TONS of extras, like 4 pairs of hands, and all the handheld guns of the Noir, plus the grapplers. And it only costs a few extra hundred yen compared to this kit.
I think the arms might not be pegged in all the way. If you push the arm in more that might fix the shoulder armor. I had the same problem on my MG Exia.
Hey vegeta, just like to point out a couple stuff. I have this kit and Strike Rouge (swapped the packs so i could get a Rouge IWSP) and in neither of them the shoulder joints and ankle armors are loose... Also, the lower cockpit is probably the polycap that is stopping something 'cause mine are fine too. Lastly, the little piece on the cockpit top slides outward, and then rotates up, not in place like you seemed to be trying to do. Hope you change your mind about the pack, it looks great!
Boss, i hope you take the time to read this, but i had the same problem with the shoulder pauldrons for my IWSP Strike, i found out that the pegs were too long for the polycaps given, so i snipped them about halfway, they sit MUCH better on now, but they're still a slight loose! just a heads up in case you hadn't thought of that yet!
Nope, unless you modded them, the connectors are different last I checked Some things like the rifle and beam sabers you can use though since the IWSP have normal holding hands
@vegeta8259, If you wanna quick strike lucas, u can just slap the IWSP unit onto strike noir. BTW, Strike+IWSP is an awesome kit. I got it, but didnt do any paint job.hope to see yours. Cheers:D
Vegeta8259: hey can I make a request.. can you make the (GAT - X105 STRIKE) Re-equipped with the (XXXG-01H2 - Gundam Heavyarms Custom) Equipment?

Great review.
the blue piece on top of the red cockpit door is supposed to pull out, allowing room for the red piece to come down without popping out

I bought the MG Aile strike gundam and the MG freedom gundam and those are my first MG gundams
This is first Seed model review from you that I have seen. IWSP pack is defenetly worth it becouse it has those anti-ship swords and gatling shield.

This is a great model, i have both IWSP and Aile, i just use the IWSP strike with the Aile back pack, or IWSP depends on the day, i switch it up
the blue thingy on the cockpit over the red part slides out

You should have waited for the Aile Strike to come into stock because it best represents the series.
The only thing i hate about videos like these is because i don't have the action figures to do them myself
my favorites are Aile Strike and Strike Noir, dont really like to see Strike with the IWSP, but the Strike Noir with IWSP looks awesome
lucas uses the strike E gundam

@Brianuuuu their model kits
you forgot the shoulder armor can open
@vegeta8259 and the 1/100 nogrades of the two astrays
You opened the cockpit the wrong way
i bought the Lucas strike e with the iwsp pack.....the anti ship swords wasnt as big as i thought they were....
Hey dude did you do the unboxing video?
Anyway, I'm hoping to get this kit.

Is the red different than normal Strike?
@mattdriver12 I should correct myself in saying the unpainted un-decaled looks cheap and not master grade quality
@ravenshotred yea
I love the proportions but I'm not diggin the head
If i buy the NG Aile Strike, will its parts fit perfectly on the MG Strike + IWSP??
@ThePonsor911 Yeah! That too!
whats the difference between this and strike E IWSP?
Maybe its just the minimalistic look of the Strike but for a master grade it looks rather cheap
@vegeta8259
It seems that I did forget that one. Of course I watched it when I was reading Gundam Seed Astray manga but I didn't remember that. Sorry.
how much was it?
is a Strike Gundam Unit 2?
is a New Color What The Hell?
Hey vegeta8259, did u paint this kit????
Integrated weapons striker pack.... Is what I.W.S.P stands for so it's wrong to say I.W.S.P pack
I not have strike + iwsp but I have HG 00 Qan[T]
Strike = rx-178 mk-II
impulse = rx-78-2
still like the strike E than this one
i dont think kira pilots the IWSP

@imaqtlolz
strike = cool,
srtike E = COOLER
You're right. I actually reserved the kit some days ago from a shop in Singapore. Anyway, I'm from Singapore in case if you're wondering.
