I think this is a great kit. Not only does the IWSP pack look awesome, but for a kit that is 15+ years old it holds up really well. There are not a lot of visible nubs, the joints have held up well after years on my shelf and you get a ton, just a ton of accessories. Plus, you get a stand! Obviously you need it to display with the striker pack, but I mean, how can you not use that sweet pack? So win/win. Really the only thing I would ding the kit on is color separation. The blue stickers on the tips of the IWSP are particularly egregious. Really though, it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the kit. If I had to own just one strike with one striker pack, this would be my pick (perfect strike is cheating :) )

There is a lack of surface quality for this kit which kind of bothers me a bit. But I guess for a kit that came out in 2006, its excusable. My only huge gripe with this kit is the hands and its somewhat lack of articulation. The hands are absolutely horrendous. They can't hold anything and when they do, it looks hilarious and terrible. The shield and I.W.S.P. packs looks fantastic so if you want that, get it but other than that, I'd look somewhere else for a strike.
