Review(MS FORM)

This is the finished [HGCE] “RISING FREEDOM GUNDAM”.This Gundam is a Gundam operated by the Celestial Compass, a private armed organization that intervenes by force in the conflict between Blue Cosmos and the Coordinator, and is a private aircraft of Brigadier General Kira Yamato, who appears in the movie “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED FREEDOM” and is on the receiving end of a woman being cuckolded.

It was made into a three-dimensional model as an HG 1/144 scale kit to coincide with the release of the movie.

Equipped with the internal structure “SEED Action System” specialized for reproducing action poses, it is possible to reproduce SEED-like twisty poses and high matte full bursts.

It is a poly capless kit that uses KPS for the joints, and as it is the latest kit for 2024, the movement and color coding of the main body are excellent, but there is a large amount of sealing mainly on the back wing.

Along with HGCE’s first generation Freedom and Strike Freedom Gundam. I think the silhouette is close to the first generation.

Along with the clear color version and Immortal Justice.

The twin eyes and two-stage sensor on the forehead are made of the same clear polarized resin parts as the beam shield, and although there are stickers, they look great even without them.

Body. The shoulder joint is a pull-out type that is a simplified version of RG, allowing the shoulder to move widely.

You can bend forward or swing to the side.

Backpack. The left and right thruster units can each be moved by crank, and can be pulled up and opened in a V-shape.

The black edges are color coded with stickers.

The wings develop in the same way as those of the first generation Freedom, and the white lines between black and blue are all color-coded with stickers.

It can be folded backwards by pulling it out to the left and right.

MA-BBF75 400mm ultra-high impulse cannon Sturmswacher is also deployed in the same way as the first-generation Freedom. The muzzle is color coded with red parts.

The backpack connection is a 2-axis type that is compatible with other kits.

The thrusters inside the shoulders are color coded with red parts, and the elbows are double jointed. A palm is attached to the left hand.

The MMI-X525 Infectus beam shield can be attached to the arm, and it is made of polarized resin that changes color depending on the viewing angle.

Around the waist. The hip joint axis slides downward, expanding the range of motion of the foot.

A high energy beam rifle can be mounted on the rear.

The side armor is equipped with an MMI-M2020 Viper 3 railgun, and the gun barrel slides out.

I also mounted the MA-FZ51 Versina beam saber, but it was connected tightly so it didn’t come loose.

The legs can be opened wide and the ankles have good ground contact. The ducts on the ankle armor have slits, so it seems easy to paint them differently.

There is no flesh removal on the soles of the feet.

MA-M727A3 High energy beam rifle. The cable-like parts on the side are color-coded, but all the blue parts are color-coded with stickers.

The foregrip is movable.

RQM73 Flash Edge G-3 Shield Boomerang. Expand the beam generation bases on both sides and attach effects.

Connection to the arm uses a U-shaped joint, and an action-based C-shaped arm is required to float in boomerang form.

Review(MA FORM)

Transformed into MA form. It is a simple lying transformation that can be transformed without using any replacement parts other than joints, so I think it will be easy for small children to imitate.

The nose part on the back unfolds to cover the head. The small wing at the tip is unfolded and the white part is colored with a sticker.

The toes of the legs are stretched out, and the white parts of the calf wings are colored with stickers.

A joint for connecting a shield boomerang is attached to the hip joint, and a stand can also be connected here.

Attach the rifle by sliding the red part on the shield surface.

Action

Equipped with a high energy beam rifle and a shield boomerang.

Action with beam rifle. The main body moves around a lot and you can add facial expressions with the wings on the back, so posing it is a lot of fun!

Beam shield deployed.

One thing that bothered me a little was that in addition to the beam saber, the base parts of the rifle in my kit were also a little worn out, and the seals were all beat up.

Versina beam saber can be connected.

Shield boomerang launch. It was flying around so much that I thought it was spending a lot of time away from my arms!

The shield boomerang’s moving parts were loose and would open and close on its own, and the entire backpack itself was prone to slipping.

Attack with rail guns and super high impulse cannons!

High mat full burst! A brigadier who falls into darkness and goes on a rampage with a hypnotic brainwashing app!

Transformed into MA form. The exquisite design is hard to tell whether it’s cool or lame.

That concludes my review of [HGUC] “RISING FREEDOM GUNDAM”!!

GOANZEN NI!!
