GUNDAM SEED ARCH ENEMY 7.5" AILE STRIKE

Here is the new Arch Enemy 7.5" Figure Aile Strike from The Gundam Seed Saga. Picked him up off of e-bay. He is pretty scarce right now, and I haven't seen him in any retail stores as of yet. This may be one of those items that sees a very limited release. The fate of Seed in the US is uncertain, just like the SD series, and so, the toylines have come seemingly to a halt. Anyway, it seems this guy is the same as the launcher strike 7.5" that was released earlier this year but with the aile pack. The package doesn't indicate that there's a counterpart to this guy, unlike previous Arch Enemy sets. Hmmm.

Update: This guy is on clearance at KB Toys for $6.99!

I've added some pictures of The Aile out of box and posed with the 7.5" Strike. It is obviously the same mould with a different paint job, only this guy retailed for $24.99 and the 7.5" was $12.99. Anyway, The Aile Pack is very nicely done and overall, the posability of this AE figure is great and I recommend this for the collector. By the way, the Aile Pack and Launcher Strike Accessories are interchangeable, as shown in the last few pix.

Here are pix with the corrected Aile Engine Pods....
