HG Build Fighter (HGBF) Star Build Strike Gundam Plavsky Wing



Once upon a time, after the war with UE ended, The GBF (Galaxy Bandai Federation) held a colossal meeting. All gundam pilots are gathered to hear what they going to do with their gundam because they could become potential threat in the future peaceful world. 

Amuro: I’ll use it to counter attack Char!
Shiro Amada: Can I borrow GN sword V? I want to open a worldwide Onsen Business at the North Pole.
Heroo Yui: Throw it to the sun! I’ll plant a bomb at the sun so I could blow them together!
Kira Yamato: I don’t care who’s piloting it. Just make sure the heroes still going to be me.
Setsuna F Selei: I’ll ask ELS to embedded 00’s twin drives to quanta chest, just in case I miss marina…
Flint asuno: Don’t destroy them. Kio will soon have a son for the fourth season.
Banagher: One episode of mine has sold more franchise than full season of yours. I’ll keep it for one more series next year! Or maybe a movie special!
Ash Ketchum (who’s happened to be the GBF supreme leader): let’s do the Pokemon!!!
And that was how it all started, if you want to know.


Enough nonsense, and here it is :
 

The looks :
Too lazy to take picture without sticker, so it will be after placing stickers.
Pikach..., I mean Build strike, has a solid looks. A bit too plain i think, but as a HG it still resemble the anime with good looking. He is pretty much the same with aile HGCE stike, except for the shoulder armor, lower arms, side skirts, and calf. I like aile strike's original shoulder armor more by the way.

 
Universe Booster

Not sure if I got the name's right, it’s the plane attached to its back and turns him into the star mode. I really like how it looks. It really adds a good value for strike build appearance once attached. It also has two type attachment pegs. The round one works for high grade strike, the square one looks like for the RG aile strike. Unfortunately I do not owe one.
    


 Build strike looks much better with the booster attached.
 

Joint and articulation


I will not talk much about articulation since he has the same articulation as HGBF sengoku Astray. He has a better neck articulation by the way, using a chicken joint type and nothing has hindered its rotation movement. Unlike Astray, it implements joint system more similar to HGAW F91's joint type rather than double 0's.

 
 

won't split much unless you rotate the side skirt facing back/front
 

 
 Accessories
I'm not going to show them in details. One thing I like about this guy is all the weapon could attach to his body well. The shield has alternative exchangeable part by the way.
 


 Plavsky wings can be attached anywhere at the square holes by removing the pink translucent plastics which covering them. They are not all fits; you just need to try directly attaching them on or by using small pieces of adaptor. Big wings are jointed and attached quite nicely, but the small wings are feels insecurely snapped. They also made of hard thin plastic, so you may treat them with a bit careful.


 
 
 
 
 

One thing that bothers me in both HGBF that i've tried is the fact that Bandai did not include any parts/accessories for both Sengoku and Build Strike to perform Particle Fa Jin palm or RG knuckle attack. Kinda lost, especially because those are their signature attack and Strike has been used that attack for most half of its last episodes.

Feel sad without RG system effect...
Well, just need to add a little imagination i think :) 
 

Size comparison :

Final Thought

He is pretty much the same quality with HGBF Sengoku Astray IMO. So if you happen to like astray, you will definitely like this guy too.
