Aile pack sculpt changes compared to the original

True to its full weapon system concept, it boasts a pretty impressive arsenal.

The Sword/Launcher pack and standard weapons are identical to the original.

If you look closely, these are the backpack parts from the original kits.
You can use them to build a separate Aile/Sword/Launcher Strike.
(Though if that's your goal, there's really no reason to spend the extra money on this kit..)

Together with the standard release RG Aile Strike Gundam.

This kit is the RG Perfect Strike Gundam, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It combines the standard release RG Aile Strike Gundamwith the RG Sky Grasper'sSword/Launcher pack, with one brand-new runner exclusive to the Perfect Strike added on top.

The RG Strike Gundam body and Sword/Launcher are completely identical in sculpt to the standard releases — the new sculpting is concentrated on the center section of the Aile pack. First off, the center section has been extended significantly front-to-back to make room for mounting the Sword/Launcher. Dedicated mounting pins for the Sword and Launcher have been added on both sides, and a battery pack has been newly added at the bottom. Thanks to all this, while the original Aile pack would have had absolutely no room for them, the new Aile pack lets you attach the Sword and Launcher without any trouble.

On top of that, a ring-shaped waist stopper part has been added to prevent the waist from bending backward. A new stand joint part with the mounting pin hole shifted rearward to account for the center of gravity, along with a simple clear-plastic stand, are also included. As you can see, a lot of thoughtful touches have gone into properly realizing the Perfect Strike Gundam, and it's come together really nicely. That said, the back does get quite heavy, so standing it upright on a flat surface is a no-go — you'll pretty much need to display it in the air using the included stand.

Actually, even if you collected all the standard RG Aile/Sword/Launcher releases, you couldn't combine them into one — but with this kit and its many new sculpted parts, you can finally build a "perfect" RG Perfect Strike Gundam. Worth noting that the dedicated backpack parts for the Sword/Launcher are also included, so you can configure it as just a Sword Strike or Launcher Strike Gundam too. The manual classifies them as leftover parts, but you can use them however you like. Either way, if you've been wanting a Perfect Strike in RG detail, this looks like it'll be the ideal kit for you. :-)
