Bandai Hobby Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode Mobile Suit Gunudam Seed Destiny Model Kit (1/100 Scale)

Okay where do I start???? First let me just say that this mobile suit is amazing!! It took me at least 6 hours total to put it together with the watermark seals, laminating the seals so they won't come off with clear polish, the regular stickers and just putting this bad boy together and after looking at it for a few minutes after it was done I hate to be the enemy mobile suit to get taken down by this thing and here I thought that Gundam Exia was a challenge!(I was so completely wrong!) everything is extremely posable legs, arms, feet, even the hands, the shiny shiny hands! How the wings are set up they have a pulley system so when you move the back wings up the pulley moves the front wings up and move them into place for full burst and the wing span and height of them makes the strike freedom more intimidating than ever Now the Cons Even though this Gundam is very sturdy and strong on the joints, it works a little too well, the joints and inner frame are so good every time you bend the legs or arms you feel as though it might break and you'll waste your 80 bucks getting it and that for me is bad thing unfortunately. The next thing is that they come with extra runners with the non gold shiny frame parts and once you put the good shiny pieces on there you look at them and tell yourself "why the hell are these even here? If I put them on it would make the strike freedom look so bland and crappy when you think strike freedom you think really shiny frame that's what there there for to make it stand out among the other gundams on your shelf and that is another big downer for me lastly the hands are good holding the swords and they'll stay in place but the twin beam rifles they don't stay in always almost never I couldn't do the iconic full burst strike because because the guns kept falling out I'm a really patient guy so it was okay at first but then I grew impatient of them I so I said "forget it" and went to the second great pose as you see in the pics when Kira used the Dragoons to strike the Nasca class ships and said "Hit Them!!!" So that was a pretty good scene for me so I went with it and after maneuvering the hands and guns they stay in place it really pissed me off but I again said "forget it" and moved on and this is my final bad thing about it Overall get the suit it's awesome lots of weapons and it comes with two awesome stands for high air combat poses I personally love it because of all the kits I have it. Stands out artwork on the box the Gundam itself and all its Strike Freedomy Glory and yes that's a word In my book and definitely worth the money you'll look at and say son of a B***H look at this baby!! Also the poster you see above it comes with the face off with its rival they Destiny and it just looks awesome!! I so recommend this to any gunpla builder

This kit is really nice; however, not all the parts are gold. Depending on preference if you want it completely gold, I recommend buying a Gold Gundam Marker. I used it on the pieces that showed such as the wings for the dragoons and the inner frame that shows when the body parts are posed. It really makes a difference as it makes the gold match up for each other. The marker also helps cover up nicks you make while nipping the parts from the runners. The overall build of this Gundam model kit is really solid. I have not experienced too much problems with it holding onto accessories, but if you move it around too much, they will surely fall out. While building, I accidentally broke a part that attaches to the waist. It is the waist part that wraps around from the sides around the back. Be careful if you are painting and removing this part. Remove it with care because too much tension will cause it to snap. Amazingly, if you get both rifles connected and into one hand, it will be able to hold it steady. The beam shield is also very flexible. You can turn it 360 which adds to posability; however, the shoulder does hinder it a bit. The wings must be assembled correctly. The joint at which they pivot may need to be turned about. When you turn the wings, the mechanism should work where it makes the wings spread out. It should be snug and not loose. If it is loose, check that the piece is put correctly. The kit comes with 2 stands, water slide decals, sticker decals, a small lacus, kira and cockpit kira.

This is a great kit overall, however, there are some things I need to share in regards to it. This is especially important if you're not the type to do painting or use purpose made fine tip markers to add detail. Firstly, there are multiple gold parts, however, the plastic they are made of IS NOT gold colored on its own, but rather, it seems to be simply covered in a very thin coating of it. To this end, when you clip them out, you will notice that they will be "spotty" where they were connected to the frame/tree/runner/whatever you wish to call them. This is also vital to know if you're going to file anything, as YOU WILL remove the entire gold layer over a large area. Due to this, I STRONGLY suggest either you use a gold colored marker to touch up parts, or, if you're feeling braver, gold paint. Secondly, the blue pods that can detach from the wings and be affixed to the base do so with long, transparent plastic tubes. These tubes need to cut, and bent, by hand. As this is a Japanese product, it will use millimeters in the manual, so if you live in a country that does not use metric, well, get to converting. Also a ruler or, failing that, some kind of ruler application for a phone/tablet.

The quality of the Gundam is really good. All the parts were intact and there were no damages. The build was super fun. It's probably not for first timers, but for anyone who has built a Gundam once or a few times this set is a super fun build! Highly recommend it.

My first Gunpla kit was the MG GAT-X105 Aile Strike. Going from the multiple model sprue to the finished Aile Strike was a fun process. Next up was MG GN-001 Gundam Exia - fun build but not as impressive a finished product as the Strike. Then I saw the MG ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam dip in price and decide to pull the trigger... I LOVED THAT BUILD! If there was a Perfect Grade ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, I think I would really enjoy building that... but then I came across this MG ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode... this is by far my favorite Gunpla yet! It was a fun build and I truly enjoyed devising a pose that came out great in my opinion. I fully recommend this Gunpla if you like to build and enjoy the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam.

Let me start off by stating that this product was given a 3 month delivery wait and got here to me in a month. This product is the pinnacle of Gundams. Strike Gundam Full Burst Mode model kit is one of the best kits around. If anyone finish this magnificent marvel of a master piece deserve a standing novation. This product is very well designed. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars is because of one flaw or 7. The clear sticks you get will fail because it's just to weak for the job. One other problem is that it will make your girlfriend mad at you because you just spent more time on it than on your entire relationship and to be honest it's kind of worth it. She will tell you why are you playing with your toy and not her and I told her the same when we're having sex. I wonder if Amazon would pay me bad if I trade in a bad product but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't shut up on the way back to amazon. Just kidding

Must have for any Strike Freedom fan. Looks cool, poses well, and is a fun build.

Fairly simple build. Really nice articulation. The inclusion of 2 action bases and a Strike Freedom vs. Destiny poster was really nice. Biggest issue was the gold frame. It's not an injected plastic- it's painted, so when you cut the pieces out, you can see the grey plastic underneath. Nothing some gold paint won't solve though. Wings are probably the most intricate thing about this kit, so other than that, it's relatively simple. Looks great with the Destiny Extreme Blastmode!

通常版とは違い、所々がメッキで構成されているため、とても豪華に感じます！専用のアクションベースもついているので大変お得だと思いました！ ただ組んでいる最中に思ったのですが、少し昔のキットだから仕方ないと感じたのですが少しはめ込みの部分がはめ込みづらかったり、関節等が少し固すぎるのでは？と思うところが要所要所あった気がします。ですが一度組んでしまえば、問題なかったです！とても満足のいくキットだったと思います！

Si tienen la oportunidad de comprarlo ya sea para regalo o para uno mismo no la desaprovechen, tiene un armado bastante fácil y el resultado final es impresionante (existen algunas piezas que son un poco difíciles de poner pero solo son 2-3)

I am in Love with this model. My two favorite gundam universes are the Seed/destiny and the 00 and from them I love Kira yamato Strike freedom. Athrun Infinity Justice( owned)and Setsuna 00 raiser( a future project to own and build) . i had before the Strike Freedom Extra Finish version which unfortunetly broke and I was very sad about it. So when I saw that Strike Freedom Full Burst mode, I felt in love. This was exactly what I wanted for so long. The model itself is fantastic, it is super posable and with that stand to put the Dragoons on...Just wow..One of the best..No THE BEST Gundam purchase that I have bought ever. The price on Amazon is excellent also. I have a place in my city which sells these model and there the plain Master Grade Dtrike freedom( no full burst mode, no extra finish) cost 70$ before taxes... So if you are interested in owning this model just buy it, the price is awesome and everything is beautiful

Amazing kit! I am completely amazed by the final look of it. Easy to build, kit is hig quality materials used, it is eye catchy because of the gold color of its wing. I didnt expect that the package has arrived earlier since I expect like 3 weeks but it arrived around 10 or 11 days. The package was completely sealed and protected! Thank you!

Ottimo prodotto arrivato subito e in perfette condizioni la confezione era perfetta e non riportava nessun danno consigliato a tutti
