Together with the standard release MG Aile Strike Gundam Ver. RM.

This kit is the MG Perfect Strike Gundam Special Coating Ver., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release MG Aile Strike Gundam Ver. RM with a coating applied, combined with the Club G release MG Aile Strike Gundam
Ver. RM Launcher Striker/Sword Striker Packbundled together. As the name suggests, it's a plated version of the Perfect Strike Gundam, bringing together all the weapon packs — Aile, Sword, and Launcher — in one set.

The white surfaces feature a titanium finish-style coating that gives off a beautiful, premium sheen. The remaining weapons, armor, and joints use metallic molding, which has tightened up the tolerances overall and made the joint strength noticeably stiff. That does mean poses hold really well once set, but the joints are stiff enough that posing can feel a bit of a chore.

Since this is essentially a collection of existing kits, there's nothing particularly new here — but the significance lies in getting a full-option coated Strike Gundam based on the Ver. RM. The joints being overly stiff is a bit of a letdown, but the overall visuals turned out looking great. Either way, if you're a Strike Gundam fan, this Special Coating Ver. is definitely one you won't want to miss. :-)
