The shoulders do have just a tiny bit of forward/backward movement. The joint structure is simplified compared to EG or HG.

Alongside the body of the HG Build Strike Gundam Full Package released in 2013. Just looking at the appearance, it doesn't feel like it falls too far behind.

You can also attach the HG Build Booster.

This is the Build Strike Gundam released in 1/144 scale. It's essentially a promotional item released to commemorate the official Chinese dubbed broadcast of the Build Fighters anime. It wasn't even listed on Bandai's official website beforehand, yet it ended up being officially distributed and sold outside of China as well.

It's a kit priced at a very affordable ¥700, built with a minimal number of parts. At first glance it looks similar in concept to the EG, but it actually comes in a step below even that. Like the EG, it uses small gates for easy parts removal and achieves a decent color accuracy with a simple build process — but the key difference is that a lot of joints have been cut compared to the EG, so there's quite a gap in articulation.

The limbs only bend to 90 degrees, which is one thing, but the wrists and forearms are fixed with no rotation at all. The shoulder range of motion is also narrow, and once you actually get your hands on it, it feels noticeably more limited than the EG, let alone the HG. That said, the joint strength is decent enough and the whole thing feels solid. The build process is even simpler and easier than the EG, so it really does feel like the perfect kit for beginners.

As for weapons, you only get a beam rifle and beam saber — the shield is missing too. There is a backpack port on the back, so it is compatible with the HG Build Booster. As a limited event item, it comes across as an even more entry-level kit than the EG. The build experience is enjoyable and the looks are great for the price, so I'd say it's worth recommending as a kit anyone can casually have fun with. :-)
