Obviously when talking MG it have extremely low chances, especially with the remaster stuff going on atm

Im would say a HG is the best bet for it, seeing the Astray HG releases so far (Im talking about the Out Frame being made first, then if popular enough, the then the two Testament units)

Its beautiful. The HGUC I have been waiting 6 months for.

HGUC 1/144 Zogok (Unicorn Ver.)

REDS! Hi there fellow red fan. haha!

I'll get testament and that's been decided the moment I saw it. I also like Rosso Aegis, however, I don't think it will be available in MG or even RD.

Now that Rrobbert has finished his review of the old MG Aile Strike I am super curious about the MG Aile Strike RM. Mainly because of the difference in price, which is just 400 yen, so like 4 bucks or so. Which is almost completely irrelevant. So this is literally a true comparison between old Bandai kits and new Bandai kits. Same price, same Gundam, 10 years between them.

Changes I can tell that the RM ver. has:

- sides of the head now has gray plastic
- more frame parts showing through in various places (Aile pack, skirt armor)
- color is more darker I think
- has a Mu La Flaga figure included
- shoulder has a new part
- articulation definitely looks vastly improved
- finger swapping
- face mask has more details
- gray piece visible on cockpit hatch
- gray piece visiable on crotch area
- knee and shin has a slit of gray showing through
- wrist area has a slit of gray showing through

Basically, it's more detailed with gray pieces showing throughout the build.

The RM Ver. is way more stylized and more of a Master Grade, whereas the older one felt more like a 1/100 No Grade with some inner frame.
I'm sure that Bandai is going to re-release this guy in the Strike Rouge color variant as an online exclusive soon. It'll be the exact same thing with Cagalli figures instead.

Way to state the obvious

I would also like to note that the old MG Strike IS BY NO WAY A NG LVL KIT, take the actual 1/100 NG for that comparison, the old MG Strike is still a great kit

I wonder if there are any NGs with splitting armors on the legs XD

Probably not. I mean they're basically 1/100 scale HG kits. I doubt Bandai would put effort into engineering armor splitting on a No Grade kit. It makes little to no sense, when traditionally, it's been something reserved for MG and PG kits.

.....he was making a crack at how you thought the old MG Aile Strike felt like a NG

Having built myself the older 1/100 MG strike 4 times (aile, rouge, sword/launcher and noir) and the old 1/100 HG 2 times i can only agree with you .

Wonder if Suiton696 has ever built a 1/100 HG and MG strike? The MG Strike 1.0 was the first modern MG kit with complete inner frame and super posable joints, while the 1/100 HG, being a very solid kit has limited articulation and no inner frame. The 2 are very different, like day and night.
Now if he had compared the Strike 1.0 to say a way more modern 1/100 HG/NG Astraea gundam then he might be right , but he didn't.

i've ordered the new strike 2.0, I will see for myself how it holds up to the "older" 1.0 and if all the fuss is really worth it...

And all the commotion above was caused by suiton who doesn't know what he's talking about, ladies and gentlemen.

[RX93-2]

I have the old strike and it is a very good kit, the only real issue is the ankle armor attachment.
Other then that it is perfectly good to this day and if we didn't have the (probably amazing) RM version it would hold up no problem.

Is that testament RD an exclusive?

IIRC so far, there's nothing that signify it as being an Exclusive item, but who knows? Right now, we can only hope that it will be a regular item when it's released.

I always enjoy your photos, loon. They are nice to look at, refreshing, and have nice angles and poses too. You should post here more often .

[duotiga]

For RD Testament is a regular release

As for the 1st MG Strike kit , my only complaint is the weak ankle guard joints else the kit is fine

[Akyra]

Wow, the RG Destiny looks better than my MG Destiny (the one with the WoL effects)
