Strike Gundam

Box Open

The calligraphy-style box that was circulating before release is said to have been produced in very limited numbers.
The box art on the regular mass-produced version is just a photo of the Strike striking a pose..

Side

One side is pretty bare.

Info printed on the PG side panel. The part count is 569, which isn't all that many.

A shot lined up with the previous PG boxes in order. The 9th PG, Strike Gundam.

It's the typical 3-section layout.

A shot of the runners from all 3 sections taken out and laid out still in their bags.

The assembly manual (left) is A4 size, same as the GP01.
Normally PG assembly manuals are the narrower size like the instruction manual on the right,
so why did they go with a larger format for the Strike, which doesn't even have that much content..?

The solid internal frame parts that are a PG trademark seem a bit sparse here. There are none at all for the joints —
only the Armor Schneider and the hands have solid joint parts. What's interesting is that the solid joint structure for the hands is incredibly complex~
(See the Arm section review)

The outer armor is molded in two colors — a slightly gray tone and a pure white.
The difference isn't too jarring. Actually looks pretty cool in its own way..

Huh? This is all the metal parts there are. And only one screw. Is this really a PG? ;;
On top of that, they're all only used on the head — there are no screws or spring gimmicks anywhere on the body.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at the runners is none other than the giant sword (Grand Slam).
Seeing it in person gives you a really strange feeling.

Die-cast parts for added durability. Used only on the leg connection points and knee sections.

Colored clear parts are also included.

Tons of runners packed in there, as you'd expect from a PG..

The outer armor runners are split into two types as shown above — a light gray and a pure white.
