My thought of the Perfect Grade Strike Freedom
just wanna share my thought about the new PG strike freedom...
I'm not gonna get this kit for now, but i will add to my collection soon, it's just not among my priority now, before i look at the review it was among my TOP Priority :-P
so why not get this kit for now?....for me it doesn't look good, and doesn't look "PGish", it just look like the 1/60 lightning version with just some modification, and a bit bulky, and the armor doesn't have any PGish pane line, the Master Grade version still look awesome and for now PG Strike Gundam is still the awesome Perfect Grade
as i said i will add to my collection, but that might be when the price is reduce :-P, so it wont be worth it to spend a lot for this kit now
...so guys that is just my thought, so hope to see how you guys thought about it, so please comment
it just be on 25000 yen because so much part till 55 runner
well.....it's just good enough than 1/60 lightning version
maybe there's just 2 my disappointed from this PG
there's cool line art on its inner frame,but nothing on its armor
and its wing .....very fragile
if you careless you'll be like this

I've seen the same problem on other blogs and site.....the wing joint part can be easily broken if not carefull
"well.....it's just good enough than 1/60 lightning version"
http://www.dalong.net/review/pg/p13/p/p13_136.jpg please do speak now, still think the PG is like the crappy, and ugly lightning edition?
I have both lightning edition and MG SF, And PG 00. I look at it and it is a MG and Lighting ver. mixed to getter. That may save the cost of design. I sat that thought would not make much of a different, my MG full bust still look better that.
Apart a redesign wing, the rest it the same, It's very expensive kit. MY PG 00 Riser never be able to be standing well or moving around as good as lighting edition
It depend that you want it or not I just to go to wait until I got more money, and rethink.
one thing i learnd after buying so manny gunpla is that you can only apreciate models when you see them in person
True, no denying that, however, the buyer's budget have to taking into the account, everyone have their own idea of their purchasing.
sorry to say this,but this is most lame PG kit!! :(
1. the wing is fragile
2. no PG lining design
3. similar to MG version which is much better
4. not entirely gold plated[its a PG,so the gold plated must be the entire frame]
the MG version is much better looking, slim and tough, the height and wide are perfect...Th PG version kinda bulky
yep,soo true!! :)
The wing is fragile indeed; I would think that Bandai would have used a metal pin to increase durability, especially because it's such a heavy component. As for the panel lines; the Strike Freedom is supposed to be a curvy mobile suit; Unlike the other releases (which mostly use hard geometry), it should have smooth curves and slightly beveled edges for those parts that use hard geometry. I agree that the MG is better (Especially when you decide to get the Full Burst mode), but the sheer size combined with plated joints and the complexity of building make it better than the Wing Zero Custom, but not as stable as non-backpacked units like the Basic Strike, Red Frame and RX-78.
I believe if every single marking decal and gold stickers are put on,it'll look it's worth it.This PG's main attraction is supposed to be it's DRAGOON system,and yet the DRAGOONs are plain blue without the stickers.Then again,25k yen is pricey for a PG with less PGish design.
I've realize that stiker part....i assume it was an inner gold frame part but actually it just a gold stiker you have to apply
and im glad i didnt buy it
stick with the better PG's which has little flaws on them like the RF and strike
On a perfect grade design standpoint.. This thing pretty much suck
- No extra panel lines to give it depth which is usually seen in PGs
- Articulation is subpar, even worse than the MG
- No real gimmick differentiating it from either the 1/60 NG or the MG (aside from the SLIGHT improvement on the DRAGOON).
- Fragile wing is fragile.
the MG strike freedom actually have a resin conversion to make it look similar to PG version DRAGOON, even the more detail panel lines for its armour pieces!! :)
really?
can you show the link (i mean the shop website) ?
try this link (http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=5542&name=&title=1%2F100+Strike+Freedom+Gundam+MG+FULL+Conversion+Kit+%28VP+version%29)
Dang!....that is one coooool conversion kit. need to get that :D
i was really hoping that the Perfect Grade version has that conversion look when it was announce of release, coz that is how PGish looked :P
yep, i couldn't agree more!! :D
agreed !!
Dalong website hasn't fully review this kit...but i'll bet this kit doesn't have the open hatch gimmic unlike PG Strike or other PG's
it's full review since yesterday...just go new from some blog
Well, i think it lacks "cracks" on the armor (refer some MG Strike Freedom mods) where armor parts are splitted to reveal more gold frame (imagine unicorn gundam). Panel line + decals will make the difference though. On fragile wings, don't forget it is a 1/60 scale, so the "thin" wing parts are not that thin as you imagined.
Asking for a fully gold frame? I suggest you don't. If it is made from 100% plated frame you can imagine the price topping 50,000 yen. Moreover, the price is quite justified given the size of the kit. The price of a kit is determined by number of runners, not the size of the kit, or gimmicks. On articulation, it is the least concern i have - MGs are supposed to be poseable, while PG displays details by just standing (the size of the kit + dynamic pose takes up space).
BTW it is the largest PG in terms of volume - it;s bigger than 00 Raiser although 00 Raiser's backpack looks big and bulky
I think they should stop making PG for Seed, we need a PG Unicorn now!!!!!!
My god man, that's madness~~
NO!what we need is a PG of nz-666 kshatriya instead.now thats what PG should reeealy look like!!! XD
HGUC Kshatriya is already MG Sinanju-sized iirc. PG would be like..HG Dendrobium-ish or less. D;
i think the height would be similar to a standart fire extinguisher!! :)
hahaha....it's truly gonna be huge if bandai really make it into PG
you sound like them few fools who were asking for an mg dendo to be made by bandai.
Agree!!! :-P there are lots of other cool gundam that can be made to PG
Everyone asking for PG Unicorn, that will not happen till year 2012 - when The OVA ends at ep 6. Wait for December 2012.
i hope that will include Full Armor version or green NT-D psycho frame for PG
that'll be the best PG
:)
me too !!
Thanks for the comment guy....BTW as a Gunpla collector, i might get this kit soon when the price is cheap :-P, for now it's expensive and the kit didn't turn out good as i expected, so i will get me a Master Grade 00Qan[T] for this month....with the PG SF price, i can get me 4 MG's in my local store...LoLed!
yeah,with that price u can save it for the upcoming gunpla[deathscythe hell custom/nobel gundam/etc]!!:D
BANDAI reeally mess up big time wit this SF PG..T_T
"Deathscythe hell custom" top of my wanted list! LoLed....ive seen preview pic that's been on the net, and it looks awesome! :D
Right now I have a six weeks break and I plan to study and do a MG kit but I'm not sure which one I should get... I'm kind of leaning to Unicorn/Exia(normal)/Sinanju/QanT but I can't choose between them? Or should I just get the GFF Full Armour Unicorn? That thing looks really good but I won't be able to build it!
hurmmmm...I'm not into GFF yet, can't comment how good it is....as for MG, just buy witch is affordable for you such as MG Exia and 00Qan[T] :D
dang...if you got money, choose the sinanju, Real NICE one :D
You should all read the reviews and watch the video ones before commenting. From what I read here nobody did that.
I don't think you can say a model is good or bad just because a reviewer claims it to be. Reviews are just opinions of a person and doesn't reflect everyone else's. People who commented here are simply expressing their views on this model kit.
Actually i've seen the video...it's shows the gimmick of the kit and it's cool, it's just how it's look that's not impressed me much, just doesn't look PGish, but the gimmick and the inner frame are cool...i have a PG Strike, and it is awesome, it has the PGish look or another word "EVOLVE version" ( for those who watch Gundam EVOLVE might know this :-P)
I think ima stick with the MG version for now also, the PG design isnt really eye catching like i thought it would be when they first announced it. I own th MG full burst n it happens to be one of my favs, take a look at my build :]

scheduled delivery date of mine is dec. 21. hope to finish it before new year, not much free time. no reactions yet since i have yet to build it. i don't judge much base on pics.
Meh, I guess i'll settle with the regular MG version then, it looks similar to the PG version anyways.
Hahaha, i guess I am getting PG Strike Gundam as my first PG
get the pg strike or RF and you wont be dissapointed
Yeah, I just ordered it yesterday, the PG strike i mean, my first ever PG
hopefully everything goes well, should be delivered after christmas lol
for Red Frame, I already own the MG, and i think the MG has better proprtion than PG.
I got mine, but haven't had the time to build it. Only have the feet built. It's apparent that the gold coating sucks and I plan to repaint the frame.
Its a HORRIBLE price-detail ratio. You're not paying your money's worth if you buy this, its just a 1/60 MG that doesn't look as sexy.
I would rather buy the MG since their almost the same.
