The Shiranui Storm Vanguard/Strike Vanguard spec has been added to the D-Style Muv-Luv lineup. The Muv-Luv designs are mostly color variants of similar-looking units anyway, but the Shiranui Storm Vanguard/Strike Vanguard does stand out a bit with its different head and shoulder design plus that distinctive shield.

Since the base design is pretty much the same across the board lore-wise, the core frame is identical to the existing D-Style Muv-Luv kits. That said, the articulation is decent compared to other D-Style kits, and the proportions are nicely done. Personally, I'm a fan of blue color schemes, so this one appeals to me a bit more than the other Muv-Luv units.

It's a kit with a straightforward build and a solid look — but honestly, aside from the appearance and color scheme, there's not much else to set it apart, so just sit back and enjoy the photos. Either way, even if you're not a Muv-Luv fan, if the style catches your eye it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
