This is my final entry on teh HGGS 1/144 Perfect Strike Gundam. I'll have some observations after the photos. As it is, enjoy!
|
I attempted to pose it as if it were charging into an enemy. |
|
Tried to imitate the manual's action pose. |
|
Close up |
|
Using the sword as the primary weapon. |
|
Using the claw system and the beam boomerang |
|
Strike Noir can use the backpack, but nothing else in the system. Actually looks like a Destiny protoype. |
|
The Dagger mecha barely works with the backpack. On the other hand, it can use the Launcher shoulder weapon. |
|
The Akatsuki has trouble with the shoulders. |
Observations:
1) The Strike itself is a Recolored variant, with a surface shine similar to the GFT types. The grey has been replaced with a metallic grey color.
2) It's actually difficult to maneuver the cannon into a good pose - and you'll have to remove the grip to do it, then just reattach the gun grip with the hand in place. As for the shield - you can't open the claw of the shield and keep it attached to the main body - it always has to be launched, with the line attached.
3) The original beam boomerang had a swivel-open handle, this new does not. That means you have to really open the top part of the first to fit the weapon in.
Final Word
It's a great kit to get, if only for the visual impact. However, do remember that it is by nature an older kit with a new weapons system. Also, if you wish for it to be more posable, I would suggest that you find the Grand Slam Sword Custom Kit Set, so you can upgrade the base Strike kit.
