Bandai Hobby RG #6 Skygrasper with Launcher/Sword Pack Gudnam Seed Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

The skygrasper + sword/launch pack combo is actually an amazing kit. Believe it or not, I think the skygrasper is good looking enough to stand on its own without the pack swapping fun.No, the kit does not take as long to finish up as, say, the aile strike itself. Or any real grade for that matter. But it's still a decent build and the end result is beautiful.Should I even bother to tell you about the extras that a kit designed to be extras has?It comes with landing gears if you want to display your skygrasper, though I think it looks much nicer up on an action base 2.The packs itself are fine. The sword pack definitely is less interesting than the launch pack, which has a very interesting to build backpack/joint system and which is very fun to play with, though perhaps difficult to make sit right in hand. That's not to say that sword pack is disappointing, though. The grappling hook gimmick interested me, though I would be curious to see what the wire looks like after a couple dozen repositionings.The nose on mine fell off once or twice, but that's really nothing compared to the rest of the RG line. It's to be expected of a model with such great details.I gave this model a 5 star rating because it's simply the most solid RG kit there is. Yes, it's cheating, because it's not actually a mobile suit, but it was so nice to have something less fragile on the shelf, and with the aile pack from the strike kit on, this kit pops.

Challenging to assemble since its small, looks good. The plastic quality is good

The RG skygrasper is a great addition to the real grade line. The build on this unit was very different than the gundams in the real grade line and alot of engineering and time has been spend on this unit. The build for this unit is fantastic as you can see, the detail on this model is on point and plus this unit comes with the sword and launcher pack for the aile strike. With the weapons packs combine you will be able to turn the real grade aile strike to the perfect strike seen in the anime! Overall a very good buy to be displayed itself or to complete your existing aile strike gundam!

This aircraft includes RG Strike Gundam heavy artillery equipment and giant sword equipment, and can also be equipped with the air combat equipment backpack that comes with the RG Strike Gundam body. Although it is not clearly stated in the manual, you can indeed install all the equipment on the Strike Gundam to complete the display of Full armor Strike Gundam.

The Real Grade 1/144 Skygrasper is a bit of an oddball in the Real Grade Line. It serves little purpose as a kit on it's own as it really an add-on for the Real Grade Strike Gundam.The Skygrasper itself is presented with fine detail here and it is tiny. While it has no inner frame it does feature some movable parts; the main beam cannon can swivel around and tilt up and down, the side cannons have a slight degree of flex(however I find they tend to end up pushed inwards more often than I care), and the side engines and wings and flex back and forth a bit along with a thruster on the bottom. The cockpit can open up but I find it's extremely difficult to do so. I would probably not attempt to force it as the part is so tiny. Did I mention this thing is tiny? It's roughly half the size of a typical 1/144 Gundam and there are plenty of tiny parts on it that can be easily lost if one is not careful in handling it.There are landing gear parts to go into the bottom side of the Skygrasper. Small panel pieces will be removed and attached to the gears as they are inserted into the bottom. There are a set for the side engines and two different gears for the front, one short and one long(the long one is used for when the Sword Strike's grapple is on the mounted on the underside). The kit comes with several adapters for all the weapon packs of the Strike, including ones for the Aile parts from the Real Grade Strike Gundam kit. All these parts are small so take care not to lose them.Now onto the Sword and Launcher packs. These are great add-ons for the RG Strike.The Sword Pack looks great but a bit plain and features three beam effect parts, two for the Sword itself and one for the Beam Boomerang. The Shoulder armor piece I found to a bit awkward to attach as you have to take it apart every time to put it on the Strike or the Skygrasper and increasing the odds of losing or damaging a part.The Launcher is the better add-on in my opinion and gives the Strike some much needed fire-power. The right shoulder uses a adapter to attach the mini-gun/missile pod(Which I might add is quite fantastic looking and I wouldn't blame you if want to leave it on all the time). The Launcher cannon attaches to the back via a slightly complex swiveling arm. It does a decent job of positioning the cannon up under the left arm of the Strike but don't expect to make use of the hand peg on the handle. It tends to stay in place well enough without the hand peg, even it looks a bit cumbersome. However I think the Strike looks great with this set-up.As for combining all the packs into the Perfect Strike, it's not really possible as there is no way to store the Launcher and Sword weapons with the Aile pack attached. You can get close by removing the beam sabers from the Aile pack and detaching the cannon from the backpack and having the Strike hold the Sword and Launcher in each hand. Not quite Perfect, but close.The kit also gives you a display stand to keep one used Striker Pack on display on an action base. It's a nice add-on but I really wish it came with two shoulder pieces instead of one. You probably won't use it unless you have an extra action base around.In summary, if you have the Real Grade Strike, then you probably should get this as it only enhances that kit. On it's own it's not really worth it.

This is a great model, it just looks fantastic. The only problem is the Sky Grasper is small so a few parts because of their size were hard to put together but that cant be helped. And the hands for the weapons are a different color from the actually Gundam the hand that come with the Sky Grasper are black were on the Strike their gray but that's small still a great model

it came on time tho the box was lightly dented but no big deal Happy with my Buy

As an after thought add on kit for the RG Aile Strike Gundam, it actually kinda shines all alone. Both the Launcher Pack and the Sword Pack are very detailed and, despite its 1/144 scale size, does have a good amount of stage presence. The add-ons can and will make the Strike stand out in your RG collection.
