Strike Freedom Gundam!
so, yey or ney? personally im not that big of a fan of the design or its pilot, but it seems that its still popular enough that its getting a PG later this year.
is this an instant buy for you, or an instant fail?












not much into the SEED series though '____' i'm more of an endless waltz typ of guy nyah :3
Failz
Really, that could be quite insulting to those that like Strike Freedom...
Sorry if I offended anyone... I just don't like SF at all... Freedom on the otherhand...
More of a poke at those who shelled out on the lighting edition five years ago.
Another Strike.. Seriously Bandai what are you smoking.. =____=
i dont know but must be great stuff
they are smoking all the money they are going to get from this PG
LOL, lets see if this turns out to be another rushed PG, or they waited all this time to make Strike Freedom the best PG of them all.
Strike Freedom fan, what should i do? Cut down my figure lootings by 75% and start saving!!! When another PG was announced earlier this year, i was wishing for SF and it came true!!! XDXDXD
my dream come true too..
Probably reusing Strike's inner frame again... ^^;
i deeply concur...guess reconfiguring the molds is easier eh Bandai?
Disagreed. The design is entirely different.
no the inner frame of stike is completly diferent, but they can reuse the Strike freedom innerframe to make infinite justice and destiny.
yeah.. you're right..
Strike >> Red Frame >> Strike Freedom
Just reusing inner frames, aren't you Bandai....
i don't think so..
what?
not RX 78-2 ver.ka as shown in super gundam expo 2010?
never mind
i won't buy it neither...at least for now :3
i actually really like the seed series designs
s.freedom is so tempting
what ? you guys are whining ?
what do you expect ?
IT IS bandai after all.
and besides the whining there are alot of others who will get milked.
I dont think kit bashing is much of a big issue. I find it amusing that ppl keep bashing bandai for these tactics, but in fact for those who wants a particular kit because he or she likes it, bashing isn't much of an issue. If you don't like it, then don't buy from Bandai. I get irritated seeing how ppl complain Bandai bash this and that.
Only complaint is that the legs look a bit.. disproportionate. Too long, and thick in comparison to the body, and I can imagine the price tag on this. Anyone think they'll use gold-coated runners instead of the cheap stuff they used for the MG?
No to gold plates for this case. Gold plates are not that durable, they fade fast if it's exposed to UV radiation - not just sunlight, even a fluorescent light in a room.
hmmm i think it might be the way the image was photographed but not sure you might be right LOL
you´re right, it was the way the pic was taken, there's another picture that shows mutch better the porpotion
I'm probably gonna end up getting this if the reviews are favorable....i pre-ordered my PG 00....and i ended up with a half arsed engineered kit....but in the mean time, i like how my Strike Freedom Lighting edition came out, so that will be enough to tide me over....this thing better come with an epic stand for those flying poses though....
I don't care about that damn pilot of freedom,it's all about gundam...where is the new MG release X|||X
Damn, hoped it was BEE-Craft instead of Hajime Katoki. He's way influenced by his recent work on Unicorn Gundam till this S.Freedom has legs that look like Unicorn's legs, a bit longer and fatter...
This is most likely going to have some reused runners from the PG Strike. Since Bandai's jumping around the metaseries for their releases, if there's ANY mech that deserves a PG, or even an MG for that matter, it's the GSX-401 Stargazer. Just think of the gimmicks it could have with the gold sections!
I'm with yunamon on this. Ultimate fail!!
But only because I loathe the gold joints. Will probably end up buying because it's a perfect grade and actually pain the frame grey like I did with the MG.
Freedom would gave been a much better choice. And I won't be able to say until the first images are released but freedom (and SF) don't gee the same frame as strike or red frame but some parts could very well be shared with a redesign. I just hope it's better than the 00 gundam.
Well, I'm definitely going to get this kit.
Seed/Destiny weren't the best shows story/character wise, but the Gundams themselves we're greatly designed.
agreed..*nods*
yeah.. agree..
Where the hellz my Throne Zwei!!
Could this lead to a perfect grade destiny, like they did with the master grades? Because the shared some basic frame parts between those two kits.
yeah probably, maybe Infinite Justice and Destiny since they all use the same innerframe
and force impulse..
dont forget Force Impulse is a transformable MS, so the inner frame is diferent, specially the torso with the corefighter.
True, but it still shares the same basic frame.
I've never been keen on Strike Freedom. The wings and funnels have always been kinda meh.
Freedom on the other hand is quite possibly one of the sexiest units in existence, even if it is slightly wider than most others
I like this, most likely get it, cant wait to see how epic the wings are gonna look in pg form. Why are people saying its another strike recycle? i dont think SF or even Freedom uses the same body... if you ever looked at the design you would know that there different. obviously you would know red frame is the strike frame since the actual design is a prototype of the strike gundam but freedom and sf are not based on that design.
All because its it has strike in its name dosent mean its gonna use the strike frame.... geez
and about the gold joint thing, at first when i saw it on the mg i was turned off but the gold kinda grew on me... but if you dont like it paint it gray ...
And about bandai milking people with the same molds.... grow up ... they need to make money to if they want sell the same mold with different things ( mg strike ), let them not like its hurting you in anyway. Dont like it? DONT BUY IT. stop ^#%@%ing about it
agreed...LoL
Couldn't agree more... >.<
OMFG Bandai thank you so mutch you made my day, whats with all the haters??? grow up, Strike Freedom is one of the most popular designs, it diserves a PG
DAMN!
a PG SF.... AWSOME!
too bad cant afford it.. :(
plus im a noob when it starts with PGs. xD
I'm just about to open a topic about this, it seem somebody beat me to it....oh man, It's the best news EVER!!!...surely gonna get this kit
I like the Freedom but c'mon Bandai, Seed is yesterday's news! There's a whole lot of choices from 00!
unbelievable.. feels like dreaming.. and i'm going to save money for this.. but need more information for now.. i wonder how heat this news will be.. btw.. i one of the SF fans
I hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SEED. Especially Kira, ugh, what a crybaby.
With that said, I do like some of the mecha designs. I think this LOOKS good, but hell, knowing Bandai, be prepared to see some gold plated joints, lackluster MG level detail and 200+ price tag.
Damn you Bandai!
Why don't you save this thing for 2012? T_T
I'm saving for Volks 1:100 V Siren Neptune IMS and Vatshu the Black Knight IMS you know... T_T
Gaaah, can't decide which one I should get now -_-a
choose this one.....
you'll hardly get it if you don't pre-order it now
Gunpla are mass produced. If you don't get it in release, you are surely likely to find it at stores for at least six month.
True, but recently, Bandai have been giving out extra stuff for the first batch of kits, like the extra Gerbera Straight for the PG Red frame.
hum maybe Wing effect parts like robo damashii??? or a action base???
yep
just like last year on PG 00 raiser
got ticket for clear parts and 2 way stand base that you couldn't you buy for next 6 months
for all the people who "already preordered it" , may i ask where?
good question

Inner frame definitely from the older Strike's... ^^;
