![Strike Gundam Development History [Original & Orb] (Part 1/3)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/v0nEDnyDYnw/mqdefault.jpg)
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
Even bigger thab Godzilla?
@@BarnzTTI think Godzilla was end of last year
japan be cooking hollywood
@@beefboy3357 in terms of box office numbers.
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
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
HG Gusion rebake full city:
@@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.
Tbh i hate the wings at first, but now the design is grown on me. And i want one.
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.
I like this more than mighty strike freedom..
@@alvarosolorzano5405 yeah, I actually much prefer this Gundam without the white lines on the wings.
I like the wings without stickers, it looks a lot more like the og freedom
agree
"My fuckin' lens cap is compatible with one of those" killed me. Great video my guy!
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!
Were you able to watch it with english subtitles or do you understand Japanese? Im here in Tokyo and cant find one with subtitles
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
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 ❤
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.
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!
Can't wait for the Mighty Strike Freedom!
I believe they fear the new models would cannibalize the sales of the first batch of kits.
@@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
can't wait for MG
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
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
the same on pgu and mgex strike freedom???
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.
@@StrikeNoir105E so you painted an MGEX with that sticker? also it's present on lighting strike
@@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.
@@StrikeNoir105E you still didn't answer my question
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
Amazing review as always. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
You can pose the rising freedom in gerwalk mode (macross) 😊
Looking forward to your dendrobium video! Currently waiting for mine to be delivered at the end of the month
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 CAN'T WAIT for mine and the others I pre-ordered. Totally expecting a Master Grade version soon :))
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
Yes! Mecha finally remember to put functional movement on the ground for this video
These new Seed kits might be a first few HG's i get in a long time, i normally stick with MG's but these are looking fantastic.
May and June couldn't get here fast enough. can't wait for your reviews on the Mighty Strike and the Infinite Justice Type -2.
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?
I might expect that one decal on MS’ left shoulder, it absent but make up on how eye candy this kit is.
Was waiting eagerly for this review
Another beautiful gundam from Seed. This looks even alot better if you see it in person. The Master Grade will be epic
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
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 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.
I love that Zeta like face and the two-tone white plastic
Forever kicking myself on when I could have pre ordered this kit!🎉
i doubt this kit will be limited edition. specially with how high the movie is flying in japan.
The same can be said about the sticker situation on the SD Rising Freedom. Its quite a lot for an SD kit
Woah this video actually changed my mind, now I’m going all in for this kit
I need a MG version of this asap
Totally agree with you
Let’s go its always a good day when matcha uploads!
...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.
Looks awesome. Also I recently got the Dendrobium finished it in nine hours
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.
Incredible progress in Gunpla, love this Rising Freedom Gundam! 🚀🤖
Can't wait to swoosh the bird mode along with Wing and Kyrios. 😊😊 And Airmaster too.
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
Really tempted to get this... though I'm more of a Athrun-kind of person.
Definitely tempted to get
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.
I wonder if they could do the thick almost plastic-like stickers in the Schwarzette again as a middle ground between color-correcting stickers and separate parts
Those kinds of "plastic seals" as they're known are mostly used in places where the design requires transparent glass parts, but it's attaching to a place where actual plastic would be inconvenient or not look great. They're used sparingly as a result, and not really what you'd call a "replacement" for color correcting stickers.
Bandai did recently experiment on some new kind of stickers for their HG Macross line though that's a bit tougher and more matte than the usual stickers.
Great to see people starting to like this kit, because it actually amazing lets just assume the decal is not even there
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!
Kinda old?? So the original HG SF came out in the stone age then?
@@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.
Built it today, i didn't had problems with the wing stickers
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?
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)
Oh god.
The transformation looks sillier irl.
I'm still in the process of building mine. Been taking it slow. seeing it in this video i FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!
those parts on the legs that has the white stickers, is it possible to paint them?
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?
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.
woah
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.
What an awesome kit!!!!! Any suggestions about the floppy floppy thing on the shield???
I don't like the shoulders, could you swap its shoulders with the ones of the hgce strike freedom to see how it looks?
I just bought a master grade barbatos a couple of days ago and after building it i realized i really need tools cuz it hurt my hands pretty bad. Any suggestions for tools?
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.
lolled for the lens cap skit XD
I wish MG had a discord server for the building community and channel fans! 👀
Glad this is my first gunpla
So... if you put the backpack on another gundam then it can transform too right?
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 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
Yes i Want This New One!
But There's No All HG 1/144 Polycaps Anymore
Im excited to see that dendrobrium video when it drops 👀
i rewatch seed & still goosebump, damn i got best chilhood ❤
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.
Is it possible to swap the wing and rail gun with the freedom revive?
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.
It looks like the Freedom and Destiny had a mechababy
This is going to be incredible when they make a MG for it
Thanks for that tip for tiny parts.
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 😁
Ok you've convinced me, this is the next kit that I'll buy
Yes
Objectively too, the white parts that are stickers would likely be decals and wraps if it was a real life machine.
If it was a real life machine, it actually would be painted on.
I'll be Buying this kit when it's available.
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!
20:59 is a great audio clip.
does the sliding joins in the waist slides smoothly
I just picked my own HG Rising Freedom from my local Game Stop.
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?
It certainly looks like a must buy... but I want to do something about the nose cone for the MA form. I'm curious if the wings can be transplanted onto either the Destiny or Freedom's backpack
it's using the standard adapter style (2 pegs), and so do those iirc, so It should in theory. unless I'm wrong and the hg freedom revive uses a striker pack adapter or smt lol
It's got the normal 2 holes connection, so i guess you can.
Oh no no, I mean the pegs for the wings themselves and not the whole backpack. Love the look of the wings and the... boosters? thingies but the MA cone is just... bleh@@AB-wl5ny
lol, nah it uses a two peg backpack but I'm talking about the pegs for the wings themselves, not the whole backpack. Love the design of the wings/booster thingies but not the MA cone @@JJTheDev
@@greyastray9875 ic. I'm curious about that too, but don't have either to verify myself. you can prob fine the manuals online and compare peg styles (which ones the one), tho peg size is tr hardest one to check without owning em
Maybe it’s because I’ve only been collecting UC models but I think this thing looks so much better without the wings.
@Shinnasuka73 None taken!
Funnily enough I don't think the Zeta looks that bad even with the sled on its back, maybe I've just acclimatized to it after binging both series it appears in recently.
As for the Freedom, it suffers from the same trait as most of the other units from Wing and Seed (late 90s, early 00s) of 'Gundam + Gimmick', if that makes sense. It's not just a Gundam, it's a Gundam with ACCESSORIES! At a certain point the accessories become more important than the Gundam they're carried by and it just strikes me as backwards.
I have to ask, are you planning on preorder the SHF Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne?
Waiting for Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam
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 😅
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.
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 :)
Great review, definitely tempted to pick this kit up. What is that dspiae kit?
If this had the new justices shield instead I"d be super interested honestly.
Transformation of Rising Freedom MA Mode quite similar to Neo Bird Mode of MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver. Ka.
Going to wait for eventual 1/100 versions to come out till I get the new designs. I wonder if this will get a MG or just an FM release
cant wait mine to come!
You just resold me on this kit. Gonna have to pick it up now
I hate how I've never thought to use blu tac trick
