This kit is the RG Strike Rouge + HG I.W.S.P., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release RG Aile Strike Gundamwith a changed molded color and the I.W.S.P. pack added. The HG Strike Rouge
+ I.W.S.P.'s I.W.S.P. pack is reused, with a small amount of new molding added.

The main body is completely identical to the existing RG Strike Gundam, just with a different molded color. The I.W.S.P. pack is also exactly the same molding as the original HG kit, but with realistic seals added it blends in nicely with the RG body. And since the joint specs between RG and HG differ, new molding was applied specifically to the I.W.S.P.'s torso connection piece and the shield's forearm connection piece. A fixed-pose right hand for a secure grip on the beam rifle has also been added as a new mold.

So all the characteristics of the body and I.W.S.P. are identical to the original kits. The body still shows excellent articulation alongside shaky joint strength, making it hard to stand upright, and with the large I.W.S.P. pack on top, you're probably better off displaying it on a stand.

As yet another RG + HG combination kit, the realistic seals do a decent job of bridging the grade gap. The selling points here are the small amount of new molding added and the fact that you get to have Strike Rouge in RG form. Either way, if you're a Strike Rouge fan, this is one kit you really shouldn't miss — it even throws in the I.W.S.P. pack as a bonus. :-)
