Man, I miss concise and clear toy reviews like this. I hope you're doing well and hoping for your comeback when all this craziness is over. Stay healthy!
I actually bought this kit back in early 2015 to use a base for an RG Build Strike. I never got around to starting that project. ...well, I suppose it was for the best 🤣
My first kit, it was fun, for me the loose part is the head. The jet pack looks good but I always detach it cuz its hard to pose with it without any stand.. Quite fragile when posing hard hehe
THis was my first RG kit and I've never seen anything like the legs. I was so afraid to bend the knee and I was so disappointed because I thought there was no ball joint at the ankle. I really didn't want to force it and accidentally break something but I couldn't believe that a RG wouldn't have an ankle pivot so I watched your review and I swear I love you for pointing that small fact out to me.
Since the Aile striker pack is quite loose on this kit I just forego attaching it altogether and just pose it with the Grand Slam sword (from the April 2012 issue of Hobby Japan).
I'm honestly stuck on either getting the RG or MG Agile Strike Gundam. I might get the RG and keep the backpack off it. Then have a MG with the backpack for display. I'm waiting for a price revel on the MGEX Strike Gundam because that might find it's way into my shopping cart.
bought this and the sky grasper so I have all the optional weapon swaps needed for the Aile Strike. all in all the kit is perfect for RG starters and the detail presented with the RG series is refreshing for a kit this size.
Type V3 should make a game out of his vids. The first person who can guess what the next gunpla he would review will be named the winner and announced on his new show :D I'm guessing you'll review the HG strike freedom next?

Hi type v3, are you from ph? I saw you get your kits at HLJ, i used to years ago but suddenly they put it on hold at customs for taxation which never happened to me. After that I never ordered there again, seeing your orders coming from a huge HLJ box, do they still tax you? I heard they moved up the treshold to 10k this time. Thanks!
Got this 2 days ago as my first kit ^-^ Good way to pass the evening. My only regret is not buying side cutters as getting the parts off the runners with the hobby knife was more difficult that I would've expected.
The Aile Strike was my first RG and unfortunately i didnt have a stand for it. Its taken so many stage dives i now cant display it as the V-Fin is broken and the backpacks has all but imploded. My MG Sword Impulse did the same. Oh well, lesson learned.
Damn wish I saw this review first. It is very loose and can’t get it stand upright with the jet pack on. Might have to apply super glue trick to make some joints stiffer.
I actually bought the HG remastered versions of Blits/Duel/Aegis/Buster since they were cheap to take advantage of a giveaway and even though they are old (and the stickers are meh) I actually liked them a lot and now I ll buy the RG strike and RG skygrasper. I ll be getting the rest of the seed gundams too since they aren't so many (and expensive) EDIT: I kinda want to find a way to make the perfect RG strike (without ruining the parts) If you have any suggestions I d be happy to listen
I know this video was posted years ago but all this quarantine business has me getting restless and I wanted to pick up a new hobby. Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny are my favorites, probably because they were my first and only for the longest time before I discovered how to watch things online so this model really appeals to me. I read that if I am just getting into Gunpla that I should start with the easiest grade and the only experience with model building was a short time doing planes and cars with my dad so I might be jumping into the deep end with this. Any thoughts?
Too bad the Armor Schneider gimmick couldn't be place on the HG Revive version, but a High Grade could do so much. Great review, and Type V3 would you consider reviewing the HG Gundam Flauros?
The kit itself will be easy to tighten the joints. However I have one worry, and that is the hands. Does anyone know if the hands get as bad as the RG RX-78-2? Or is it better? And if it's the case anyone also know where I can buy better hands for RG's?
takei ryuu If you're a beginner get the HG. If you want something more detailed and complex get the RG. Be warned, RG model kits will have a large amount of parts and many small parts.
Very thorough and detail in all your reviews dude !!! Please make the review from the Seed Destiny Series (the Strike Freedom x20a) im a huge fan of SF !!!
I don't really like how the head for the RG strike is like the old MG Strike... wish they did it using the MG Strike Remastered style... all other things about this kit is good though... the head just looks dopey...
I don't like the vents on RG Strike's mouthpiece which also appiled to RG Freedom. But overall, RG Strike's head is a good representation of the original anime design, just like the old MG. I like it when a kit respects the original design and only making structural improvement. Unlike the newer MG Strike, Freedom & (the upcoming) Providence that took too much liberties with an already good design (not a flawed design like RX-78-2). If I want a cool departure of the original design, I'll just buy the Metal Builds or the 3rd party kits of the MBs. Also, the proportion of RGs from SEED line is always off. Compare the HGCE of Strike, Freedom & Strike Freedom with their RG counterparts and you'll see what I mean. So far, the only aspect worth owning from SEED RGs are their Deactivated versions. Those are the ones I collect because I can't get the combination of grayscale+details anywhere else.
androyus that is preference though //:) .... as for the MG Strike Remastered, I believe this was created so that it will fit into the newer MG designs implemented in the other GAT X Machines... trust me (or is it just me? ha.ha.ha)... the old MG looks out of place with the others unless its the RM Strike and I pretty much like the details and proportions of the new MG strike but yeah who doesn't love an anime accurate depiction of the kit... It comes down to preference though... as for me I really like the new aesthetics and engineering, and updated sculpts of the new MG Strike... and yes I agree with you on the face vents of the RG... anyway what I did to my RG kit was to kitbash it with the HGCE strike which has the Strike RM's head aesthetics.. XD
Yep, all the new GAT-X MGs (+ Strike RM) are complete redesign of the original anime. Some parts are even complete overhaul that hardly recognizable from the original (eg. Blitz' shoulders & parts of Duel's Assault Shroud). That makes me appreciate the 1/100 kits of Aegis, Blitz, Duel & Buster for being anime-accurate so much more. I own and like all the GAT-X MGs, but I still keep the old 1/100 kits for posing with the old Strike MG because they look good together as the anime-accurate representation that the new MGs can never replace.
Maaaaaaannnnnn WTF Bandai haven' t done a RG Strike Noir, Buster, Blitz and Dual gundams yet? 😑 They give us a RG Build Strike FP before any of the ones I named.
that music makes me want to binge watch seed again... Still one of my favorite gundam series if only for the design of the suits. And just saying i don't like the astray at all.
Z-2552 The RG Sinanju is the most ambitious RG kit yet. As Vince said, it's just Bandai flexing their muscles. If they do make a Kshatriya, it'll be huge and fucking expensive
No. The Skygrasper kit will allow building either a Sword Strike or Launcher Strike though. The Perfect Strike though has a modified Aile Striker pack - 4 extra batteries, holders for the Antiship sword and beam cannon, as well as recessed wings. This will likely go the P-Bandai route :(
Man, I miss concise and clear toy reviews like this. I hope you're doing well and hoping for your comeback when all this craziness is over. Stay healthy!
Loved how you used invoke as the opening song. Great review V3,can't wait for that build strike review!
This was my first RG kit back when it was released. I'm glad the HGCE exists.
+Otonashi yup.
I actually bought this kit back in early 2015 to use a base for an RG Build Strike. I never got around to starting that project.
...well, I suppose it was for the best 🤣
TYPE V3 i want to make a rg sengoku astray but I'm going to wait XD for now
Should we be expecting a review for the RG Build Strike Full Package?
You still can if you're going for the Star Build Strike, at least until Bandai comes out with an expansion kit for the Full Package.
Can't wait for the RG Build Strike review.
And I hope bandai releases an RG Star build Strike or Universe Booster at least.
+pixelman619 same. That and amazing Exia.
My first kit, it was fun, for me the loose part is the head. The jet pack looks good but I always detach it cuz its hard to pose with it without any stand.. Quite fragile when posing hard hehe
I like this lead up to the RG Build Strike
Same, im actually interested in getting that one, or the HG Star Build Strike.
Justaaan bruhhhh RG Build Strike Full Package came out last December. Go check it out! :)
Oh lol I meant this review is a nice lead up to the review of the RG Build Strike. I've known its been out and Im about to pick one up soon.
THis was my first RG kit and I've never seen anything like the legs. I was so afraid to bend the knee and I was so disappointed because I thought there was no ball joint at the ankle. I really didn't want to force it and accidentally break something but I couldn't believe that a RG wouldn't have an ankle pivot so I watched your review and I swear I love you for pointing that small fact out to me.
Heh, gunpla is FREEDOM.
CyMations *sigh*
UHH, R U SURE???
Still waiting lol
Wow, this is the best review I’ve watched so far. And I just want to say thank you for this video.
damn i missed that op =(
packingraw hi I will kiss you
Don’t we all
I miss you
Since the Aile striker pack is quite loose on this kit I just forego attaching it altogether and just pose it with the Grand Slam sword (from the April 2012 issue of Hobby Japan).
I'm honestly stuck on either getting the RG or MG Agile Strike Gundam. I might get the RG and keep the backpack off it. Then have a MG with the backpack for display. I'm waiting for a price revel on the MGEX Strike Gundam because that might find it's way into my shopping cart.
you caught me at the Gundam Seed OP playing in the beginning LOL love your videos man!
1/144 RG Aile Strike Gundam (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED) | REVIEW
Strike from the skies. Exactly.
Character Name: Aile Strike Gundam
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
Product Line: 1/144 Real Grade
Maker: Bandai Namco Hobby
Release Date: April 2011
Price: ¥2,500.
something he doesn't mention is that the gray parts on top of the shoulders areon a clip instead of a tab, and as such, they can swing up.
The opening theme... As always, great work!
can you post a tutorial on how you paint? thanks
Where do I get packs or the sky grasper?
they come with the RG skygrasper
bought this and the sky grasper so I have all the optional weapon swaps needed for the Aile Strike. all in all the kit is perfect for RG starters and the detail presented with the RG series is refreshing for a kit this size.
Is it just me or do my real grades fall apart when I pose them (00 and Justice RG)
Probably because you didnt put more love at it
THE TEASE
I swore this was the build strike when I first saw it
lol pretty funny how this kinda came outta left field especially people were expecting the RG build strike
+TYPE V3 other than weight issues. are there any issues on this kit? like weak connections or fragility?
Type V3 should make a game out of his vids. The first person who can guess what the next gunpla he would review will be named the winner and announced on his new show :D I'm guessing you'll review the HG strike freedom next?

clayton peña He is Filipino (like us *high five*) but he lives in Canada
Got this 2 days ago as my first kit ^-^
Good way to pass the evening. My only regret is not buying side cutters as getting the parts off the runners with the hobby knife was more difficult that I would've expected.
+Etienne de la Rosa lol you could've used a nail cutter!
The Aile Strike was my first RG and unfortunately i didnt have a stand for it. Its taken so many stage dives i now cant display it as the V-Fin is broken and the backpacks has all but imploded. My MG Sword Impulse did the same. Oh well, lesson learned.
Damn wish I saw this review first. It is very loose and can’t get it stand upright with the jet pack on. Might have to apply super glue trick to make some joints stiffer.
What kit is it? the red one on the left at 1:37
Astaroth Origin
Wow haven't heard that seed's op song for a long time....... a hint for freedom or strike +freedom or GBF's build strike ? I'm curious
I'm thinking of getting the Jegan Ecoas type. What do you guys think?
RG's are pretty awesome kits
MrGamingVariety but easy to loose. I mean RGs are great looking kit.
I agree
Are you planning on releasing a RG Build Strike Review some time? If not, why not?
how's the joint? I've seen reviews that don't recommend it
:35 nightmare. Big fat fingers aren't meant for placing tiny stickers.
Great review as usual.
I actually bought the HG remastered versions of Blits/Duel/Aegis/Buster since they were cheap to take advantage of a giveaway and even though they are old (and the stickers are meh) I actually liked them a lot and now I ll buy the RG strike and RG skygrasper. I ll be getting the rest of the seed gundams too since they aren't so many (and expensive)
EDIT: I kinda want to find a way to make the perfect RG strike (without ruining the parts) If you have any suggestions I d be happy to listen
@Type V3 can the wings of the aile pack fold down like the MG Strike RM??
The combat knives are called Armour Shniders, how ever you spell it.
are you doing the RG Build Strike FP?
Hey Type V3 which RG Strike version is good to get aile strike or build strike?
Will you be getting the RG Skygrasper as well to get Launcher and Sword Strike addon?
naaaah

Any thoughts?
if you have done normal model kits gunpla should be really easy unless your bad with small parts
Too bad the Armor Schneider gimmick couldn't be place on the HG Revive version, but a High Grade could do so much. Great review, and Type V3 would you consider reviewing the HG Gundam Flauros?
how to tighten this kit torso part without freezing it's torso tho?
Type V3 already review the MG star build strike. mind if he likes the RG version of it.
Around how long does it take?
When R U going to review the RG Build strike gundam full package?!?!?!
what is the song called you used in the end
Should i go for MG or this is ok? Im a newbie
Man Ive never seen these before, they look awesome! might have to buy one and see for myself
The kit itself will be easy to tighten the joints. However I have one worry, and that is the hands. Does anyone know if the hands get as bad as the RG RX-78-2? Or is it better?
And if it's the case anyone also know where I can buy better hands for RG's?
you gonna get the RG Skygrasper?
when are we getting to see your review on the Build Strike RG from Build Fighters?
Excuse me sir, what is the background you used? It looks like it could be used in a ship in the anime 🙂
Not my favourite series, but this is the first RG I've ever got... shoulder armours tend to pop too often...
I want to get the Rg Destiny Gundam and this is going to be my first rg kit so you suggest any materials to prevent scratch marks on the model kit?
Kai McDonald it's an easy kit to build made my buddy build it as his first kit. Just get good nippers, flier, and hobby knife it'll come out nice
Savior Styles ok thank you so much!😁
Gunpla is Freedom.... is that possibly hinting at a RG Freedom/MG Freedom 2.0 Review?
Can u make a vid on rg strike freedom or mybe all the rg line
Try making a review of the RG Freedom.
we would like to see a review of the RG Freedom Gundam.
Yeah we really want to see the RG Freedom Gundam and to hear your conclusions about it
COOL! i want to collect all RG kits! i'm currently working on the build strike
im really like the design of aile strike, but im very confused because which grade should i get beside the pg?
takei ryuu If you're a beginner get the HG.
If you want something more detailed and complex get the RG.
Be warned, RG model kits will have a large amount of parts and many small parts.
what about mg?
Very thorough and detail in all your reviews dude !!! Please make the review from the Seed Destiny Series (the Strike Freedom x20a) im a huge fan of SF !!!
did anyone release a do not glue parts list for this kit yet
When i got gundam RG aile strike i almost destroy the small figure person and that was very close to step
This kit looks nice next to the MG freedom 2.0
This kit looks great!!! Thanks for the review...
Can you do a review on the 1/100 master grade freedom gundam version 2.0?
Benson Su I think he hinted it pretty clearly
+RickTrajan that's what you got from my hint? 😆
And I thought I made this one easy!
oh no what did I missed?!
Here's another hint.
What's the newest RG kit?
Build Strike.
I guess we already know what the next review is
but is it the RG or MG 2.0 that he's reviewing?
+Anthony Matero 😙
Are there any Vr of this MS that has the core fighter from the Op?
The only seed gundams that use the core fighter concept i think is the impulse
I don't really like how the head for the RG strike is like the old MG Strike... wish they did it using the MG Strike Remastered style... all other things about this kit is good though... the head just looks dopey...
Jan Daniel Ching I agree the head is the only thing i dont like.

I clicked this thinking it was the RG Build Strike.
I guessing a review on the RG Aile Strike then it being compared to the the RG Build Strike.
When will you do a gundam hashmal review
can u review infinite justice gundam?
BTW i just subscribed!
Can you also make a review of the zeta gundam?
+john patrick montejo sure, but it'll be the HG Accelerate Evolution version.
you was wrong, its not combat knives, its armor schneider
just when you review the transient gundam glacier that you got it when christmas!!
Review Master Gundam, or shinning. I think you hinted at it in the Nobell Gundam review..
Maaaaaaannnnnn WTF Bandai haven' t done a RG Strike Noir, Buster, Blitz and Dual gundams yet? 😑 They give us a RG Build Strike FP before any of the ones I named.
this, justice or freedom?
that intro nostalgia.
that music makes me want to binge watch seed again... Still one of my favorite gundam series if only for the design of the suits. And just saying i don't like the astray at all.
What gundams have you seen
@@Robodragon17 bruh, it's a 2 years old comment, why do you expect a reply? ._.
i'm going to buy 2 real grades soon, one will be the Char's Zaku II but the other i can't decide.Help??
anything but zeta, that is a hand grenade
My first gundam kit
Can you do RG kshatriya and HG Arche
Z-2552 Umm, there's no RG Kshatriya yet. I don't think they'll make one though
What??!!....Noooooooooo!!!
Z-2552 The RG Sinanju is the most ambitious RG kit yet. As Vince said, it's just Bandai flexing their muscles. If they do make a Kshatriya, it'll be huge and fucking expensive
But think of the cool poses with Kshatriya vs gundam Unicorn(destroy mode or not) ;-;
Z-2552 Yeah but it seems it'll be RG Sinanju vs. RG Unicorn for now. We just have to wait
Can you review rg Strike Freedom please?
Well he did say "Gunpla is Freedom" so maybe will get to that.
But the real question is if can become a Perfect Strike
Yes, with the Skygrasper addon kit
Perfect Strike is overrated.
No. The Skygrasper kit will allow building either a Sword Strike or Launcher Strike though. The Perfect Strike though has a modified Aile Striker pack - 4 extra batteries, holders for the Antiship sword and beam cannon, as well as recessed wings. This will likely go the P-Bandai route :(
Gunpla is freedom??!!!.......does that mean Freedom is next.....yesss!!!
Gundam! i want to buy more for my birthday!
