Review on Star Build Strike Gundam

Greetings

The next review is up and it's gonna be a kit that everyone will know if you have watched Gundam Build Fighter, It's  Star Build Strike Gundam, well, kind of obvious since i already posted the box art. 

About the Suit

The suit was built by Sei lori and controlled by Reiji (most of the time). The unit is an upgrade version of the original Build Strike Gundam as it was destroyed during one of the battle with Tatssuya Yuuki by his suit, Zaku Amazing. The difference between this unit and the previous was it have change  the backpack that called Universal Booster that improve the the suit status. The Universal Boosters gives the suit new systemes which is  RG System, discharge system and absorb system and this have made the gundam become kind of OP (overpower).

For more of the suit info, you may want to watch the anime and embrace the ambiance of each of the battle scene .

Review on Kit

Right after the introduction, let's go to the kit itself.

Front
Rear=
looks kind of cool isn't it?  :P

Let's proceed to the stability and articulation of the kit:





When fixing the backpack, be careful with the cannon as it's easily drop off. Consider to glue it for permanent pose.

The movement of joint is stable and allows you to do good poses however, don't expect much for a HG kit.

Weapon and Back Pack


 

For the backpack, the design look like some insect though, haha.

Accessories & Extras

 












For the accessories, it include a base stand which's not bad for the price of the kit that you are paying. Stickers wise, have a lot of work to do though.

Last but not least, it include the effect parts for the overall suit.


Well,  for the other effect parts, you got to buy the Build Custom Series, Universal Booster Plavsky Power Gate which enable you to do up Plavbsky effect like how it become in the anime.

Pose


How you fare this kit? :)

Review

Score: 7/10

Compliment

  • Easy to build
  • Stability and Articulation of the kit is good
  • Includes a stand

Critics 

  • Mild challenge for pasting the stickers on the kit
  • Got to buy the build custom set which logically should be a set
  • Good to include another pair of hand for variation of pose(s) 

If you are a fan of GBF/ GBFT or Strike Design colloectors, etc, don't miss out this kit :)

That's about it for now.
