Grip strength doesn't matter much for holding the bazooka,
but the magazine section in the back does get in the way of the head a bit.

This kit basically includes all the parts from the MG Aile Strike Gundam as-is,
with just one extra bazooka runner added — making it a limited edition release.

The body is fundamentally 100% the same kit,
but if you look closely, the molded color is slightly different.

The one on the left is the standard version, and the one on the right is the bazooka version..
If you look closely, the bazooka version's molded color is a bit closer to pure white.

If you look closely, you can also tell the blue molded color is slightly different in tone too.

Slipped in quietly among the Asia-limited kits commemorating MS IGLOO II: Gravity Front, this is a rather odd limited release. It's essentially the MG Aile Strike Gundam + Bazooka — a limited edition that bundles in the Strike's bazooka, which was previously only given out at events. The box art style and release timing match the Gravity Front limited editions, but why this suddenly showed up is anyone's guess.

Basically, it includes all the runners from the MG Aile Strike Gundam, with just one bazooka runner added on top. The detail on the bazooka is a little plain for an MG, but it's still a somewhat rare item, so it does carry some meaning in that regard.

The body is 100% identical to the existing MG Aile Strike Gundam.. but looking closely, the molded color is a little different. The original MG Aile Strike had a slight beige tone to its body color, whereas this bazooka bundle version is molded in a white that's closer to pure white.

Whether this was intentional or just a difference in the plastic material's color during molding isn't entirely clear. And since you'd only notice the difference up close, it's probably fair to say there's no real significant difference between them.

Anyway, it's a bit of an underwhelming limited release, but for anyone who always wanted the Strike's bazooka, it's not a bad little treat of a limited edition. :-)
