Bandai Hobby Strike Noir, Bandai Master Grade Action Figure

My most favourite MG out of the entire collection (19 MGs, 4 RE/100s, 4 IBO 1/00s). Great design and articulation. Everything about this kit is just perfect. There are also tons of weapons with 5 beam guns, 2 hooks, 2 beam swords and another 2 guns from its wings.

Kit arrived undamaged. Had no problems assembling the kit, everything went together just fine.Once assembled kit joints seem tight and secure. Kit doesn't really need painting but it wouldn'thurt if you wanted to just touch it up a bit. Keep in mind this is an older kit so there will be somenub marks after removing some parts from the runners so be sure to have a small file nearby.I really enjoyed this kit and hope to do another one of these soon.Good luck!

I love this gundam for it's looks and build, there are some minor issues with this kit though:1. The nub marks are very noticable and bad if you don't file them down and polish them out due to the black plastic and white stress marks. (Pic 3 example)2. The swords when in the wing won't stay open for me like on the poses he is often shown with his wing pack spread open, I put some electrical tape inside to try to keep it open but even then the weight of the swords cause the the hinge to slowly close over time. (2nd pic shows the hinge part in the wings that holds the swords that I'm talking about).3. The slight looseness of his toe bending and the weight of his wing pack make him very hard to stand up and do dynamic poses, you will definitely want an action base for him, otherwise he can only do simple balanced poses without falling over.4. His hand parts that you attack around the gun handles keeps falling off (pic 4).Aside from those issues I love this kit and I love how it looks, and it is definitely fun to build and awesome to display once you do get an action base. I highly recommend it. It also comes with a TON of accessories and waterslide and regular decals (I haven't put them on yet).

For any Seed fans, this is one kit that is definitely fun to build. This version variation of the Strike from the first Seed series is in the OVA CE 73 Stargazer and it was fun to watch this in action. I liked how bad ass the Noir was and it was a shame to see the machine be gone in the last episode of the three episode OVA. There are different weapons and a different striker pack for this MG, including beam guns instead of the knives that were originally stored in the hips of the original Strike. The main problem that I had with the kit was the fact that it involves some screws in the body attachment and it was a problem for me trying to put them in. This kit is a must have and I would recommend it for any one who likes to build MG kits.

Great build, though all ver.1 Seed Gundams build generally the same. Good amount of weapons: harpoons, rifles, pistols, two swords, two back mounted cannons. Great buy.

This was my first mg figure, and I love it! But beware it comes at a cost other than the higher price, make sure that your schedule is empty for the afternoon you plan on building it because it takes at least twice as long to build an mg than an hg, it requires a screwdriver at a few points, and research on how to apply the decals as the more detailed instructions are in Japanese and the pics are not quite enough for me. But you get an awesome figure that's bigger and more pose able than the standard gunpla with a lot of cool action poses.

Very easy and very simple build. Small amount of decals but overall durable. Hold weapons limply. The swords are a pain to keep up when you want to pose this gundam with its wings spread eagle.

fun build
