  • Thank you for hanging out during the live stream and helping out to during Live Stream as well.

  • So thank you guys both.

  • So much for help.

  • Thank you once again to Cory as well for his help on the design for the T shirt.

  • It's awesome artwork that he made with the strike Gundam Kangaroo.

  • And so just think it.

  • Everyone that was involved.

  • It was a great learning experience.

  • I'm looking forward to doing it again, but with the knowledge and with the experience that I gained from doing it this time there was things I think maybe you could have gone better or some things that I would like to do differently.

  • So it was all just a learning experience for next time.

  • But overall, I think it was a great success.

  • So we crushed the $3000 goal, which was to dye my hair and you guys voted and chose purple.

  • So now I have purple hair for the time being.

  • And then we made the $4000 gold just on the fly.

  • That would also get purple matching nails as well, which I don't have yet.

  • I'm gonna maybe do that tomorrow.

  • So you guys will see those in plenty of video soon enough on.

  • And then I made the goal for $5000 to be that I'm gonna be giving away a free HD commission.

  • That means obviously no mobile armors.

  • But any other HD that you guys want, I'll do a custom paint job as you like, just as like a normal commission.

  • Now, just be given away to the winner of that give away.

  • So we're not at the 5000 goal yet, But between now and March 31st if we reach that 5000 our goal And that will also be included in the give away a free HD commission to one person, Whoever is lucky enough to win that.

  • So all right, that is it for that.

  • Guys, I just wanted to thank you guys all so much.

  • And now let's get to the review.

  • All right, So here is how the kit looks when it's all particular.

  • Obviously, without all the extra stuff on, I just wonder first, just take a look at the basic strike Gundam with the new improvements to it Now, like we noticed in the building of the kids or in a box, anyway, or as just should be pretty apparent by this not really gonna be a whole lot changed underneath the hood.

  • It's gonna be all this kind of aesthetic stuff around the outside.

  • So we'll take a look at the new parts here more closely in more detail, and we just want to give you guys a look around with the kids what it looks like just with all the new parts in there.

  • Then, as I mentioned a few times during the Lifestream building, this, uh, the new parts.

  • I think we're really nice that they were added to areas that are like most eye catching.

  • So, like the front of the chest in front of the shoulder is the front of the arms, the knees, the front of the shin.

  • So like well, they didn't overhaul the entire armor set for this.

  • They just really made improvements in the areas that you would notice most easily anyway.

  • So I think that's that's pretty good.

  • And especially with all the new parts there for the head, the new head does look really nice as well.

  • And even though they didn't upgrade the Gundam structurally, structurally, the PG strike is a really great kid, and it still holds up really well.

  • So they just kind of made the outward appearance of it a little bit more modernized now.

  • So I think it's really nice to made this look like it's sort of more like a PG that would come out in, like, 19 4020 rather than feed you.

  • That came out way back when, all right, so just stick close up, Look at some of the stuff, see how the entire head, at least the outside of the head, is all new here all the armor.

  • The inside part is all the same, but yeah, it does look really nice.

  • The new angles of that life should say everything.

  • Except for the colored parts.

  • The red and yellow parts are not new.

  • All the white parts are news.

  • You have extra little events there on the side of like the inside of the face there.

  • Those are really cool the Vulcans and there are now chrome plated.

  • And the original kid, they're just regular dark gray plastic.

  • And we do have the led gimmick and here's you gonna move that part on the back and switch on the led, and that's gonna light up the eyes and the camera on the front of the head.

  • But as you'll notice as you'll notice, this part here on the back of the head is kind of loose.

  • So just make sure you're careful with that.

  • The eyes light up kind of all right.

  • But the light that grows up to the head cameras not really very visible at all.

  • So unless it's like in a very dark room, really not really gonna be able to see that very well.

  • It is because going up from the led through a clear plastic part and then threw another blue clear plastic part there.

  • And so even the eyes are not lit up that much.

  • So they led a little bit disappointing with this many of these new parts here for the chest, which, in my opinion, I like the addition of the silver parts.

  • They're the plated silver parts.

  • Those look nice, but the details a little bit too much detail added to the frontier.

  • And it's all just kind of like, doesn't really have a whole lot of uniformity to it seems like in this area they went for just like detail.

  • For the sake of detail.

  • They didn't really have a good layout for the detail here on the front of the chest.

  • In my opinion, the shoulders, the new parts here do also look pretty nice on the front and back.

  • And like the plated silver part, still good.

  • But I have This problem with this is that these parts fall off super easily.

  • The shoulder has the gimmick of this part sliding out, and then this part is supposed to open up like that, and this part is supposed to be connected onto here like this for, like, armor open gimmick for this.

  • But this connection is really super weak to hold that part onto there.

  • So it just falls off really easily like that.

  • You're probably gonna want to use some glue for that part.

  • Then new parts here for the front of the arm again just to include the silver plated parts there and there.

  • I do look pretty nice.

  • This big, flat, silver plated part.

  • They're also not really so sure about that.

  • Like one that's just like, little bits of detail poking out of this big, flat surface of silver there.

  • Not enough.

  • I'm really too into that.

  • I think I like it better here.

  • Like on a front skirt as well.

  • He got this new part.

  • This whole new armor for the front skirt is all new.

  • The detail here looks nice.

  • And the silver plated part looks nice there.

  • Down here in the knees as well.

  • Again, it looks cool cause you got just a little bit of that silver poking out.

  • And then when you bend the knee, you've got a whole lot more of that that can show in some nice detail there.

  • So these new parts here for than me, but at least just for the side parts here to expose more of that.

  • And also the new part here for the thigh armor exposes more of the frame in this crack between there.

  • So you got this part here?

  • The back is new.

  • It will just expose more of the inter frame there on the thigh.

  • Also, this part here for the side skirt, the main part of the Spice Girls, Not new.

  • But the opening door for that is new and it just has some more detail added onto there at the back.

  • Actually, nothing really too much new here except for the backside of the shoulders being new.

  • Otherwise, the whole back skirt back of the legs, nothing really new there at all.

  • Here, on the side of the legs, though, these parts are knew a little bit at a detail a little bit added link to these parts here on the side, not the top part of the bottom part of this part for the side of the legs.

  • Also, this little part here on the front of leg and then the front ankle armour is also knew the side I'm Kal Armor is not.

  • But this new ankle armour is new here to accommodate this plated silver part there in the front and also has an extra little events here on the side of the Anglo Murnau, which is a cool, little added detail, I think.

  • All right, let's go over just a couple other things here.

  • Then here is the beam rifle.

  • Nothing new about this, except for it's in a slightly different color from the original.

  • It's in that kind of slightly sparkly plastic here is that really dark, super dark gray that we have for the inner frame for this?

  • That has just a little bit of sparkle to it.

  • And we got the clear blue part there for the camera in there and that otherwise that's gonna be pretty much It's got this little bit, which will fold out their little tab, which will allow you to plug this onto the back skirt for storage.

  • Secondary handle will move side to side, and then, actually the trigger does actually move slightly as well.

  • It's kind of not really very noticeable, but is actually separate part that will smooth slightly, but otherwise that is pretty much a beam rifle is pretty nice, actually.

  • Like the beam rifle designed for this kid, it's pretty cool.

  • And I like that you complete down onto the back skirt s so that works pretty well.

  • And then we have the shield as well.

  • And this has a couple of moving parts in it here on the back that could move this part down to open up that kind of window there.

  • And we do actually have a clear plastic part in there for that little window in the shield.

  • And then the handle also move up and down.

  • You can slide that up and down here as well.

  • And in the connection, you'll notice it's missing a couple of parts.

  • Because with this kid, these are the parts for the sword strike.

  • And here is the connection for plugging this part into the back room.

  • We only have the parts to make one connection to the back of the arms.

  • So you have to choose whether you wanna have the connections built here for the shield or for the sword strike part.

  • So we're gonna use this part for the sword strikes.

  • So I didn't mother putting these on here for the shield.

  • But if you want to use the shield, then you can't use them here, So that is really unfortunate.

  • But it was huge.

  • Get Bend.

  • I couldn't give us another set of these, like, two parts that we need to make two connections and other reason why that is shit is because we have this new base here for this.

  • Well, it's not new, but it's, ah, base that was not included with the original kid.

  • So the base that we're going to use for this and you'll notice we have these two connection parts here at the bottom, that is for plugging on the shield and the beam rightfully so.

  • When the perfect strike is all loaded up with everything on it.

  • You don't really have any space for these, necessarily.

  • So you can plug these onto the base.

  • And so the beam rifle this blow going to there like that, and then your immense to plug the shield onto the other side down here onto there.

  • But you can't do that without the connection piece.

  • You need that connection piece in order to plug this onto the base so you can't even plugged us onto the base without that connection piece.

  • That's that.

  • I guess if you really wanted to display this on here, I think it wouldn't be too hard to just scratch, build some sort of connector glue this on here in some way that it's stuck on there sort of like that, but really is a shame They didn't give us that piece, but the base does work pretty well.
