  2. It's really nice to see an actual model of this guy.
    I can't wait to get this. I'll be picking up at least 2 of these to display as Strike and Aile Strike, as well as getting that online exclusive set for the Launcher and Sword. Depending on how they do that one, I may be picking up more of the Strike HD Ver.

    >_<

    And now it's only a matter of time til we see Bandai rehash this mold to release:

    Strike Rouge
    Strike IWSP

    1. Please inform us all how do you intend to "display" boxes... You put one Strike box on a shelf with the launcher sword pack box on top? And how will you differentiate between regular strike and aile strike boxes? Put a PostIt on one of them saying "aile"? Please do a 10 sec silent video showing these amazing gunpla "skills" you have and share with the rest of us who don't belong to the 750 "secret" friends you have on your "secret" forum, so all of us can rejoice as you brag about you awesome boxes and how cool they look!

    2. Get bent, dude... lay off guy. He said nothing wrong... infact he never does. Why can't you choose to ignore suiton if he bothers you so much? I don't understand how a wishlist and a strange video can cause so much anger. He's not provoking you so don't be an idiot. And don't give me some crap about how the online community has "tried to reason with him" or is sick of him or whatever. I'm getting sick of reading these fucking irrational angry responses to a guy who is simply excited about the same hobby that everyone else here enjoys. I've been wondering all along; what is there to be gained from bullying this guy? Seriously, he never responds so you can't even justify your behavior by calling it a troll. Stop this! If not for your own sake, do it for the other people who read this blog.

    4. I new I would see the day when I would become the bad guy...
      You don't like my responses (response being the key word here) then why don't you ignore me? Try to put up with 3 years of reading suiton bragging of his boxes, asking for the same MG over and over, going over and over about MG Wing zero 2.0 even when everyone has told him countless times why we don't need it, calling ppl jealous of him and telling ppl who actually build and review stuff how it should be done. He doesn't respond here, sure, it's part of his "oh, I'm such a victim" act, but I frequent other places he goes to and he's glad to start flaming. He enjoys it. It's part of his act. About the hobby, we all practice a hobby here, which is modeling. He doesn't. He collects boxes, because that makes him cool, and he later sells them. What he did with his 8 RGs he got as prize is proof of that. he won them and immediately sold them... Of course, it's his kits, but would any modeler do that? He is also a fake, with his fake contests and fake forums and stuff. Playing the victim is just one part of his act, and if you think I'm the bully and he's the victim, then I'm afraid you've fell for his act... So, I ask my apologies for reacting to suiton. I, like you, feel this blog should be a place to discuss our hobby, not his wishlists and what he's buying... I just prefer to be vocal about it, instead of pretending he doesn't exist

      Delete
    5. So what if he doesn't do the same thing we do to this hobby? That's his choice. If he's fake then why are you so mad at someone that is not real then? And what's wrong selling his 8 RGs he won? I'm also a modeller and I might do that too if I really need some money and use it to buy an expensive MG I really want. And yes, maybe now you're a bully but I don't think of him as a victim. He is still so damn annoying. It would be much help if you stop making the flame bigger by ignoring him, and if you think he's fake then just pretend he doesn't exist. Just get over it man.

    6. Yeah, a place to discuss our hobby... All I read was "Awesome build." "Very nice, great job dude!" "Damn you bandai, why make it an online exclusive?!" "Shut up and take my money!" "My wallet is gonna hate me." "Bandai, Y U no make Gundam X MG?!"

      Yeeeaaah, those were good discussion starters. And if GG post a kit by some modeler and one or some points out the flaw... everyone gets mad and saying "You think you can do better than that?!" "Show us your work and see if you can do better." Those were not good discussions neither.

    7. @anon 9:27 His "hobby" is hoarding boxes and calling ppl jealous of him and generally brag. He actually said that all the dislikes on his videos are from ppl jealous bc he has the money to buy kits they don't. He doesn't build anything, and ends up selling his kits just so he can buy new ones to do the same. Look at any YT video about, well, anything gunpla related recently, and you'll see him go on about how he's waiting for Tallgeese II from GG. Sure, it's his choice, but we don't need to read about it every time we look at any comments section, even more so when people have told him countless times to please stop. I didn't say he's fake, I said he's A fake, meaning, a liar. He's recent contest was a lie, his forum is a lie... I believe you would proly want that expensive MG to build it, right? not gloat about having it. As you said, you're a modeler... I'm usually very respectful online, I respect ppl who respect me. Suiton shows NO respect for anyone in this community. Every time someone answers one of his questions, he dismisses it, ignores it, or just calls the person jealous. Everyone who's known him for some time has tried to explain many many questions he had. He ignored them all. He displays typical attention whoring troll behavior, where he shrugs off every negative comment, in a "better negative attention than no attention at all" attitude (his damn Avatar is testament to that, he actually thinks "inb4suiton" is a compliment). He's been banned from many places now (including the c-box right here) because of his disrespectful behavior, and he won't stop. I know that I'm giving him the attention he wants, and I'm at fault for that. But if you're happy being disrespected and made fun of by someone who acts superior to everyone, well, more power to you. I will not respect or ignore someone who disrespects me and/or my fellow hobby companions, even if I incur in the risk of vilifying myself. If that makes you somehow angry, why not take some of your advice and ignore me as well?
      @anon 10:03 yes, that is usually the nature of conversations here. But among those casual remarks, we can usually find some genuine conversation points. The c-box is a good example, where before suiton was banned we had walls of text of him asking for MGs and walls of flaming following. Now we actually have ppl asking for advice, giving opinion on new releases, some even sharing their work, and that can't be bad

  4. i want it! but thinking about building yet another strike is putting me off. so far, mg strike + sword/ launcher, Mg strike rouge, and pg strike. the old mg strike just dosent sit well with the other newer GAT suits!! Guess ill make this new one la flaga's strike...-,-...

  5. Far better than those ew bulky shits made by katoki that made the wing zero looks slimmer
    this is what i call perfect proportions gat-x ftw..

    1. How can a bulky shit look slimmer? o.O Katoki's designs are acknowledged as great everywhere, and his treatment on the old TV versions of the wing suits (you know, the ones that really are bulky) are very good. This new strike, although very good is actually inaccurate as hell, compared to it's original designs. The feet and head are far too small. They look good, but, even more so then katoki designs, these are stylized reinterpretations of the old GAT-X designs

      Delete
  6. What i meant is for newer ew kits that made the old mg wing zero slimmer yeah im also a fan of katoki design when it comes to UC kits like Unicorn, Sinanju, Sinanju Stein, Delta, Mg nu(Latest) Etc. and also Ex-s and i think their proportions are all great and looks perfect to me.. Sorry im not a fan of big bulky ankles and big feets like what he did on wing ew kits looks more like a toy rather than a kit to me same goes to mg epyon the looks overly decorated, Well its just my opinion and my eyes doesn't lie..

    1. I respect your opinion, of course. But I don't see this bulkiness you mention. All katoki designs are known for the bulky legs and feet. Nu ver ka has huge feet. PG SF, unicorn (in unicorn mode) and the new katoki designed sazabi have huge feet. I think you find the feet on the EWs a little out of proportion, but I like them like that. It's part of the appeal with katoki designs for me, the huge legs, Ex-S being the supreme ruler of huge leggedness, and one of my favorite gundams^^ Actually, I feel the opposite about these new GAT-X MGs. I find the feet a little too small, especially with the Aegis... I do like them like this, but I prefer the bigger feet...

    2. At least the Aile doesn't have the super tiny wings from the HG :D

      Delete
    3. Katoki kits dont have unnaturally large feet. A MK-II, Zeta and a bunch of zeon kits all have feet that are larger (relative to their size).
      Larger feet also help with making a kit more stable. I find the stubby little feet of the RX-78 RG kit to be a problem when trying to get it to stand sturdy.

    4. Ah i knew it, just my plain ol Aile Strike Gundam from way back in 2003, just with

      - updated head
      - legs
      - backpack
      - inner frame
      - joints?

      At best, i want to see if the hardpoints on the aile pack are one i can do on the current strike myself, if not i am not forking out a large sum of money just to build perfect strike. Well at least i could build strike rouge with my current strike and get this one. meh

      Delete
    5. Dude, wth are you saying? This is a completely new kit! It uses the new Gat-X frame, with completely new details, completely new armor, completely new everything. How can a kit with a new frame be the same old 2003 kit? o_O

  8. beam saber and the rifle looks bad to me

  9. i wouldn't be surprise if they announce the early MG ZGMF X series (justice, providence, freedom hd) after this. they would likely be share the same frame runner though, with justice being the base for the other 2

  10. this release of strike annoys me, why cant they give the same treatment to wing...

    1. It did, last I checked they've been flogging Wing the last couple of years.

    2. i think he meant if bandai gave the strike gundam an update using the GAT inner frame, why cant wing gundam ew get updated using the XXXG frame.
      it doesnt seems fair actually

      Delete
    3. Probably because the current Wing Gundam is still good? But they haven't made a TV version of the Wing Zero so they might use the new frame on that.

      IF they ever release it, that is...

  11. Wow, they really screwed up the head of this thing. Its got the same squashed head style as Impulse, only problem is Strike never had that. The white V Fin is wrongly done, and gives the whole head this bad look.

    It also for some reason doesn't look as sleek as the real grade for some reason. I was going to pick this up but now I am reconsidering. They've messed up the head, they're selling the extra packs online so I'll never get them. Might as well just get the real grade and build a "perfect strike" minus the fugly battery pack with that instead. The proportions and details also aren't up to the standard of the real grade, which is aslo pretty shocking. If this strike is what's going on sale and they don't at least correct that face then unfinished GAT set or not I'm not buying it.
