The movie is not only the most successful Gundam movie in box office, but so far as the most successful movie in Japanese box office as of the new year. WOW
I'm certain that SEED Freedom can overtake Encounters in Space as the Gundam movie with highest revenue record, even if we use inflation calculator to readjust the EiS revenue number in 2023
I hated the wings after seeing the line art but after seeing the kit I realized why, it was the white lines on the wings Edit: Now the white stripes have grown on me lmao
The whole gundam feels like a step down from the previous two but when I was at gundam base and saw it firsthand, it looked really cool and decided to get it. I guess it's one of those "it looks better as a figure than in the movie" type deals
@@alvarosolorzano5405This. I mentioned this awhile back, but I'll say it again: "I hate the Sports Car aesthetic this design emanates". Removing the white stripes fixes that.
@@EmanueleCappello The thing about the Witch from Mercury kits is that their designs typically don't involve lots of thin lines on thin parts. When they do though they run into the exact same issue, such as with the Aerial's shield with its blue and white stickers, and of course the non-molded Shell Units. The HGCE Rising Freedom as can be seen has amazing color separation on the actual body itself, and in fact its body color separation is even more impressive than the HGCE Freedom Gundam's, with the latter for instance needing lots of red stickers for the railguns, whereas the Rising Freedom has them colored. The Rising Freedom's main sticker weakness are its wings, which has the white "racing stripes" that would be difficult to color separate in HG format without unduly raising the price.
I want one now :0 Ive been getting into warhammer and miniature painting and i have to say... Gunpla is still the best hobby. They just feel more valuable and heartfelt ❤
Thank you for the review sir! We finally reached the point where we got a solid, fun-to-pose Freedom in 144 scale. Dreams do come true. Cannot wait for the Mighty!
Buying this as soon as it arrives in my local stores. I already have a copy reserved for myself thanks to my buddy who works at the hobby store I frequent.
I've already seen GSF twice in theaters, and all I can say is that it's easily a 10/10 movie because not only is it amazing and breathtaking on its own, but it even goes so far as to complete Seed Destiny, which in turn actually retroactively improves that show's overall quality significantly. Believe me, GSD suddenly becomes 3x better the moment that you now know that GSF immediately follows its ending. I'd even daresay that this is the best Gundam movie I've seen ever, probably more so than even CCA and Hathaway I, and I've seen most of them. Look forward to this movie, global folks!
I understand Japanese, so I was able to enjoy GSF just fine. To my knowledge, there is no English-subtitled version of the movie right now, and we probably won't get one until they release the movie worldwide. Even then, it's unlikely they'll screen that subtitled version here in Japan, so you'll probably have to wait for the BD release.@@eatlunch457
That's so overrated. It's better than CCA yeah but Hathaway? Nah. The plot is just like an old Asain drama where the baddie want to NTRd the protagonist by seducing his wife. The latter part is pure of cringed stuff. Like the part when the black knights tried to read Shinn's mind and he thought of Stella and turned her into a monster to stunned them. And also the part when Athrun think of when he make love with Cagalli to counter the mind reading. For me it's just Cross Ange using GDS's name.
@@osmanstenberg4255 Just a tip, no one will think you're cool by casually dropping massive spoilers without spoiler tags in a public chat about a movie that the rest of the world is still waiting for, so might wanna work on that. Second of all, reading the movie's synopsis from Zeonic Republic is not the same as seeing it, because I've seen it twice already and it surely does not feel like an Asian soap opera nor is it Cross Ange, which I've also seen multiple times. If you haven't seen it yet, wait until it comes out in your region and give it a try.
This is probably my favourite freedom and thats mostly because how incredibly engineered this kit was For anyome who Bill enjoy the 2020 HG infinite Justice get ready for a whole series of that type of engineering because that's exactly what GSF is going to be
@@XIfan420u think that easy on making mass production standard model kits are? There are so many new hg model in this jan-february releases. Do u think that fast enough to create many model in time? 😂 not all ppl want freedom or justice anyway, all variant model on movie first came out is better than just rising and mighty freedom first in schedule, thats kinda stupid move
I built gunpla over the years using stickers, it's meant for those who doesn't like painting, all it takes is time and patience to do just right. The shell unit stickers from G-Witch kits for example are still pretty awesome. the large stickers I used for building HG Psycho Gundam is quite a breeze when carefully applied.
Ya know, I wonder how it would've turned out if they went the route of those "stickers" that are basically really thin plastic with adhesive on one side. I feel like that would've been the best of both worlds
Those kinds of stickers would've been a bit too thick to be used on the wings, and if you design the wings to take that thickness into account you'll end up with a detail-less wing that'll be a pain to paint if you go that route.
@@ChrisTian-sd5yq The Mighty Strike Freedom's wing stickers are effect parts nestled inside the wings. The Rising Freedom's stripes on the other hand are an exterior design element meant to portray a painted part, and therefore not really comparable.
on one hand they've made the stripes into stickers to keep the plastic mold simpler but on the other hand they gave us an option not to put them on for those who hate the white gopnik stripe design so I guess it's a win-win situation?
For me I love the look of the rising. I always thought the regular freedom didn’t have enough blue on the actual ms. The wings kinda seemed tacked on and didn’t mesh well to me. Love this new look, and yeah the white not on the wings still looks good
when the first leaked art and the trailer revealing the suit came out, a lot of people felt like the design came out of some Build Divers spinoff. I wonder if the perception has changed now that the movie and the kit is now out
I was so worried that the wings couldn’t go strait back when you didn’t show it in the articulation, thank god they can also despised the transformation but love the explanation its not for fighting but long range transport so good
Damn mecha gaikotsu never thought my gamble on buying the two rising freedom and the immortal justice is making me want to build it after buying it in Gundam Base in Tokyo can't wait for the Immortal Justice review if you got around it
bruuuuhhhhh youre building the old HG Dendro, YES! I had that when I was younger and it was absolutely MASSIVE. The spring loaded stuff was cool too, and the massive beam saber and huge cannon. cant wait for that review. as for this kit, stickers are too much but looks cool
See, I see this kit and all I want from it is to take the backpack and slap it on some other parts and give it the Zeta legs or the Wing Zero's legs or the DX's legs with the Airmaster's feet to make my ideal MS. This essentially has the Re-GZ Kai's transformation and that's exactly what I was looking for to complete my build. Long story short, I'm getting a copy for myself.
I really enjoy the new torso and shoulder armor. the flared vents on the chest narrow waist and the refined abdomen section. Want to kitbash this with mighty strike freedom and make something a little angelic but still seed
I didn't like it initially, but when I saw the gunplas, I'm starting to like it. Maybe I'll consider it. Afterall, if I buy rising freedom, I must also buy the Immortal Justice LMAO. I decided to pre-order for Mighty Strike Freedom for now. And maybe IJ type 2 as well.
Another problem that would’ve happened if the wings were fully color separated. It would’ve made the back way too heavy. I know most people don’t pose their freedoms on the ground anyway but as a kit that doesn’t come with a stand, it’s nice that this can stand on its own. I mean hell, look at the pg strike freedom. That kit has stickers on the dragoons for the very same reason. It would’ve been too heavy.
Great video and awesome cloes up shots! This is my very first gunpla - saw the Rising freedom on display at a shop in Asia and it just looked beautiful. Now I may just be hooked. Any recommendations for a second model to add to the collection?
...Yeah, while I can't build the kit atm (irl stuff is eating away at my free time and I really wanna paint this and the Rising Justice), when I get the time, I'm slapping eyes on that cone.
Never build a Seed kit before, aside from maybe Metaverse kits. It's not that the designs were bad, it's more that I just found the excessive wing backpacks and flimsy polycaps to take away from certain build experiences. But this, this is something special. I cannot wait for this to be distributed in the states so that I can make this guy.
In kit form (amd that figure especially) the design is definitely growing on me. I see some Freedom x Destiny x Guaiz? x even some Wing in this thing (when the wings were off lol) Also... *pulls out the OG Freedom Good god, they were that "bad" back then? *remembers I built the OG Aile Strike and Providence Goddam! They WERE that "bad" back then 😂 looks like a chibi no-grade beside the Revive
You should consider getting a HGCE Strike Freedom, Mecha. Although it's kinda old, you can use its wing to make the Strike Freedom spec II when the Mighty Strike Freedom come out in the future!
@@fantastiCkiLler92 even I don't want to admit it, but ever since BANDAI use pc-less builds, many people around me keep telling me that pc kits are old, even the revive line! It took me awhile to accept tho, but I'm glad to see there are people out there appreciate pc kits as I do.
I would prefer the kit wothout stickers as well. it looks closer to the OG Freedom. with the white stickers for some reason it makes me feel like some sort of a police gundam. lol. but without it, just the black and blue on those wings, you would instantly know that it's the Freedom.
I keep going backwards and forwards on whether or not to get this. Freedom (and the strike gundam) have always been my favorite of the SEED designs but do I need this and Mighty Strike Freedom? ... I'm getting both arent I?
Am I the only one that would always store the beam rifle on the shield? Anyway, this kit is AWESOME! I’ve never been a sticker hater like most people, but if it looks good without them, it’s a perfect kit for me. Best version of the Freedom, imo!
I hope we get the Lightning Buster and Duel Blitz Gundam in HGCE form. This will open up the door for the regular Buster and Duel Gundam. (Still waiting on a HGCE Aegis)
I'm confident that Bandai doesn't care about the stickers. I think their viewpoint is that stickers are for newbies, and that everyone else will use Gundam markers to make it color accurate.
I've been following find seed eclipse, there's a part where they repair the eclipse using spare parts, the parts are mentioned to come from the freedom, looking at the feet alone from rising freedom, pretty sure THAT'S the freedom mentioned in eclipse
also the in-universe development is that the reason the Rising Freedom can transform into MA mode is that it is the distant cousin of the Eclipse Gundam that shares the body frame of the original Freedom Gundam and the Eclipse becoming the basis for the Orb Unions transformable Murasame MS.
Im currently in a seed project starting 3 weeks ago getting hg grunts from og seed and customizing them like an ace pilot would For example gold painted m1 astray + gatling gun pods + calf mounted beam sabers I already have m1 astray done and planning to get gunbarrel dagger for a more strike dagger appearance + proto-exus style But i legit cant find one for zaft Ginn is too old Zaku is too new No ground suits Ginn himo and cgue deep arms is already so customized Ginn himo2 is nowhere to be found Guaiz / Guaiz R is nonexistent (seriously bandai give us this and hg justice/providence revive already) Cgue is my best bet Any other kit suggestions or mod suggestions? The theme is a red color scheme like an ace mobile suit of an army (Red blue yellow color idea, planning blue for 105 dagger and yellow for astray)
why would the ginn be too old? if anything, i feel like the ginn would be perfect. specially if you kitbash it with other suits. like the arms and legs from something like a zaku or gouf or even go with stuff from zaft gundams, like the dreadnaught, savior or even the impulse.
@@a.p.studios8713 but that's the beauty of custom units. and because seed is not like other universes, the gin is still a capable machine, even when faced against the daggers and the astrays, because neither has PS. on the contrary, the ginn is actually more dangerous, because it doesnt use beam weaponry, since the daggers have nanolaminate coat. also, the high mobility ginn, is basically a green version of the ginn. and im pretty sure there are some ktis for the armored ginn(forgot its name) which is basically what you want to do.
@@marcosdheleno actually You have a point The 105 and m1 both dont have phase shift armor Meaning that beam or not they are still weak to ballistic weaponry Im gonna stick to the cgue hg (for aesthetic), paint in johnny ridden color or something (red and black go really good together), and arm it with missiles/gatlings Thx!
@@a.p.studios8713 the cgue is a good choice, since it was made as a commander unit. there is also, the ginn high maneuver type 2. which also comes with a cool shield and the katana(but the cgue has the gattling composite shield)
You have a very small typo on the description. It reads "Freediom" so an extra "i" there. I know this is nitpicking but your video is so top notch on 4K, incredible detailed and complete that everything must be perfect :)
I just bought this kit because of this review and I'm a big fan of Gundam Seed series especially freedom models. The only thing I hate about this kit is the stickers on the wings.
Hi mecha in your opinion does it outpose the HG revive destiny gundam? Because most of the joint I see is similar to it🤔and I hope you would make a ranking vid for seed series gunpla including seed freedom kit😊just like you do with twfm gunpla for HG only if possible 😁
I might be skeptical but the first time I saw the silhouette, I thought that was Gundam Helios upgraded with upside down wings (which also upside down Freedom wings. So was it upside down or not??)
So do you think you'd review the Weapon and Armor Stand for the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt that had the extra weapons with it or have you already reviewed it?
I've built 2 HG Freedom variants now but i dint recall if they use PC or not. If they don't, then will kitbashing with its own variants face incompatibility?
I'm both excited to see the freedom movie and to eventually get this kit. But also disappointed that the mighty strike freedom replaces this amazing version of the freedom, I'm Mainly disappointed because the mighty strike freedom is just the strike freedom with different wings, different shoulders and a katana while this looks like a combination of the Destiny and the freedom with a great color scheme.
Hey Mecha, can you or anyone answer me your opinion on this? I know they're leaning more to plastic on plastic joints and I know it's structure is better than polycaps, BUT is it really 100% reliable? When I built a few modern HG the ball/socket joints started to have "Stress Marks" and that terrifies me. One example is the Blue Destiny 3 revive and the shoulder sockets easily has stress marks. Another is their 30 Min Missions with the same problem. Hell my Beyond Global Gundam's joint stressed and broken while stored safely in the box . I still lean towards polycaps since they don't "stress". I know some will say it's quality issue etc. and why not sand it down/heatgun, but this is BANDAI we're talking about, they expect their product to be flawless straight out of box. I never hear people talk about stress marks with plastic on plastic, so I want to know some opinions on plastic vs poly joints.
I think I'll wait for a Master Grade version display alongside my Freedom 2.0 and Strike Freedom. Hm...was there ever an MG Legend Gundam to go alongside the Destiny?
I love this model, except for the white stickers required to make the wings anime accurate. I wonder why they didn't do the white stripes on the wings the same way they did the part separation in that dragonar 1 that came out two years ago. Everything else is pretty much perfect for me, such a smooth build. The movie was wonderful, too. I'm glad I happened to be in Japan this weekend to watch it and buy the models. I would see them at a store one day and the next they'd be sold out.
30:3931:42 You're supposed to drop the plasma cannons even further by rotating its base inward towards the head along the axis of the wings, so that the cannon's hinges are on the side rather than lying flat like you demonstrated. That's why the cannons look weird in the video, instead of how it looks in the manual. Also noting that you made the exact same mistake with the HGCE Freedom Gundam review a while back.

I like the wings without stickers, it looks a lot more like the og freedom

MG's like, "SO MANY STICKERS!"
I just made a Delta Kai. You can't scare me!
I just built the Macross YF-29 with whooping 60++ stickers. This kit's stickers don't scare me anymore
The rg red astray had a TON of stickers too
I mean, the MG DK is 12 years old, plus after the WfM kits the bar for color separation is much higher than it was before, I think

Ginn himo2 is nowhere to be found
Guaiz / Guaiz R is nonexistent (seriously bandai give us this and hg justice/providence revive already)
Cgue is my best bet
Any other kit suggestions or mod suggestions? The theme is a red color scheme like an ace mobile suit of an army
(Red blue yellow color idea, planning blue for 105 dagger and yellow for astray)
why would the ginn be too old? if anything, i feel like the ginn would be perfect. specially if you kitbash it with other suits. like the arms and legs from something like a zaku or gouf or even go with stuff from zaft gundams, like the dreadnaught, savior or even the impulse.
@@marcosdheleno no old as in technologically inferior to the m1 and 105 dagger
Thats what i meant
@@a.p.studios8713 but that's the beauty of custom units.
and because seed is not like other universes, the gin is still a capable machine, even when faced against the daggers and the astrays, because neither has PS.
on the contrary, the ginn is actually more dangerous, because it doesnt use beam weaponry, since the daggers have nanolaminate coat.
also, the high mobility ginn, is basically a green version of the ginn.
and im pretty sure there are some ktis for the armored ginn(forgot its name) which is basically what you want to do.
@@marcosdheleno actually
You have a point
The 105 and m1 both dont have phase shift armor
Meaning that beam or not they are still weak to ballistic weaponry
Im gonna stick to the cgue hg (for aesthetic), paint in johnny ridden color or something (red and black go really good together), and arm it with missiles/gatlings
Thx!
@@a.p.studios8713 the cgue is a good choice, since it was made as a commander unit.
there is also, the ginn high maneuver type 2. which also comes with a cool shield and the katana(but the cgue has the gattling composite shield)
Was waiting eagerly for this review
You have a very small typo on the description. It reads "Freediom" so an extra "i" there. I know this is nitpicking but your video is so top notch on 4K, incredible detailed and complete that everything must be perfect :)
This is going to be incredible when they make a MG for it
I just bought this kit because of this review and I'm a big fan of Gundam Seed series especially freedom models. The only thing I hate about this kit is the stickers on the wings.
Yes i Want This New One!
But There's No All HG 1/144 Polycaps Anymore
That man Rising Freedom is doing that yamaguchi stance so hard you'd think he was a super robot
Hi mecha in your opinion does it outpose the HG revive destiny gundam? Because most of the joint I see is similar to it🤔and I hope you would make a ranking vid for seed series gunpla including seed freedom kit😊just like you do with twfm gunpla for HG only if possible 😁
Great review, definitely tempted to pick this kit up. What is that dspiae kit?
What an awesome kit!!!!! Any suggestions about the floppy floppy thing on the shield???
Looks awesome. Also I recently got the Dendrobium finished it in nine hours
I might be skeptical but the first time I saw the silhouette, I thought that was Gundam Helios upgraded with upside down wings (which also upside down Freedom wings. So was it upside down or not??)
The product quality is insane for a High Grade
Please review the hgce strike freedom Mecha Gaikotsu. I have the dx version and I want to see your opinion on the hgce SF
I wish MG had a discord server for the building community and channel fans! 👀
So do you think you'd review the Weapon and Armor Stand for the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt that had the extra weapons with it or have you already reviewed it?
this was my first gunpla kit
Can’t wait for a 1/100 scaled version
I've built 2 HG Freedom variants now but i dint recall if they use PC or not. If they don't, then will kitbashing with its own variants face incompatibility?
So... if you put the backpack on another gundam then it can transform too right?
Ok you've convinced me, this is the next kit that I'll buy
Yes
Im excited to see that dendrobrium video when it drops 👀
I'm both excited to see the freedom movie and to eventually get this kit. But also disappointed that the mighty strike freedom replaces this amazing version of the freedom, I'm Mainly disappointed because the mighty strike freedom is just the strike freedom with different wings, different shoulders and a katana while this looks like a combination of the Destiny and the freedom with a great color scheme.
I'll be Buying this kit when it's available.
I don't like the shoulders, could you swap its shoulders with the ones of the hgce strike freedom to see how it looks?
Hey Mecha, can you or anyone answer me your opinion on this? I know they're leaning more to plastic on plastic joints and I know it's structure is better than polycaps, BUT is it really 100% reliable? When I built a few modern HG the ball/socket joints started to have "Stress Marks" and that terrifies me. One example is the Blue Destiny 3 revive and the shoulder sockets easily has stress marks. Another is their 30 Min Missions with the same problem. Hell my Beyond Global Gundam's joint stressed and broken while stored safely in the box . I still lean towards polycaps since they don't "stress". I know some will say it's quality issue etc. and why not sand it down/heatgun, but this is BANDAI we're talking about, they expect their product to be flawless straight out of box. I never hear people talk about stress marks with plastic on plastic, so I want to know some opinions on plastic vs poly joints.
I just picked my own HG Rising Freedom from my local Game Stop.
I wonder if it's possible to kitbash some parts of Rising Freedom onto the HGCE Freedom?
It depends on if the joints will fit into the polycaps of the Freedom kit, I suppose.
I'm still in the process of building mine. Been taking it slow. seeing it in this video i FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!
I have to ask, are you planning on preorder the SHF Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne?
Wait for a 3rd party to roll out custom decals for this specific kit if you don't want stickers. It's what i'd usually do.
The old HG Freedom is actually 1/144, the modern kits are 1/132, decision made by Bandai likely to prevent fragility issues
I think I'll wait for a Master Grade version display alongside my Freedom 2.0 and Strike Freedom. Hm...was there ever an MG Legend Gundam to go alongside the Destiny?
Gaikotsu could you help me decide that should I buy 4 hg or 1 mg kit i want to make my collection bigger so pls recommend 😅
Definitely, the wings look better without white stripe stickers.
I love this model, except for the white stickers required to make the wings anime accurate. I wonder why they didn't do the white stripes on the wings the same way they did the part separation in that dragonar 1 that came out two years ago. Everything else is pretty much perfect for me, such a smooth build. The movie was wonderful, too. I'm glad I happened to be in Japan this weekend to watch it and buy the models. I would see them at a store one day and the next they'd be sold out.
Hey Mecha, will you paint that '04 Freedom?
Transformation of Rising Freedom MA Mode quite similar to Neo Bird Mode of MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver. Ka.
30:39 31:42 You're supposed to drop the plasma cannons even further by rotating its base inward towards the head along the axis of the wings, so that the cannon's hinges are on the side rather than lying flat like you demonstrated. That's why the cannons look weird in the video, instead of how it looks in the manual. Also noting that you made the exact same mistake with the HGCE Freedom Gundam review a while back.
it all started from Build Fighters when Bandai tries Mix n Match...combination of Freedom,Destiny and G Wing
