    MG Build Strike Gundam Full Package

    Gundam Build Fighters’ titular mobile suit model kit, Sei Iori’s superpowered tune-up of the Strike Gundam makes a sexy Master Grade kit. Looking back on it now, I feel like the Full Package never really got much screen time.

I’ve actually had my eye on collecting all the MG 2.0 Zeta-era suits for a while now, but I think I’ll be forsaking that particular lineup for this one, which does sport its own Zeta-era 2.0 MG anyway. I…
