@@androyus was just exaggerating to express how impressed I am with this kit. Actually no model kit can surpass human's articulation, we got face movement, tongue, toes, even our fingers can be crossed, our backbone alone has more than 30 articulating points, etc. Even the most advanced kit can't do some basic yoga pose, that's how far it is.
I'm right on time! 1) The clear areas are an interesting choice perfect for a well-placed LED. 2) The Forearm movement is clever and appears seamless 3) Opening hatches are always welcome. 4) Overall this PV has really has boosted my interest in the kit the only issue I have is, the wait.
I like how Bandai is experimenting with additional articulation and various open-hatch gimmicks to show off all that gold. The true centerpiece for this kit is the inner frame, rather than just slapping electroplated gold on it and calling it a day.
SEED is still no 2 of most popular Gundam series in Japan (Below OG and over 00) so rest assured there'd be newer iterations of their gundams for years to come.
I have the SF FBM for years and it IS something else. But this one.... the proportions and gimmicks, the design, the engineering behind it are AWESOME! I'm Hyped AF.
Love that it’s similar to the pg unleashed layered inner gram, I think mgex is the greatest line since it’s a 1:100 scale perfect grade essentially. And I don’t mind the price considering the greatness of the kit
I wish there will be also an MGEX infinite justice alongside with this. If that is going to happen, then it will bang in the buck. I will buy both of them!
MGEX has both of my top two favorite gundams of all time. My favorite Gundam in the whole entire franchise, the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam. My 2nd favorite Gundam is the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam I currently own and fully built the MGEX unicorn gundam with all of its glory, with the exception for the full armor parts I need the MGEX Strike Freedom in my inventory.
@@chaikagaz Mg are just fine, but once you get a pg, it all goes to shit, cant go back to build MGs now, Im now in my second pg the banshee, its gorgeous!!!
Oooooh man I hadn't even thought of that... although not everything gets those variants (lord knows the MGEX Uni would have gotten some already by now)
you know what I find interesting in the time since the release of the MGEX Unicorn we haven't gotten ANY form of- add-on or recolor or anything for it no clear version no Banshee no Phenex nothing like _maybe_ it has something to do with how absolutely expensive it was for an MG, but I dunno, that doesn't bode well for the MGEX Strike getting any such after-release additions, if this is gonna be the trend for MGEXs
As a person who was never really a fan of the Strike Freedom Gundam, this has turned me around. The gold peeking out from everywhere just looks amazing. This might be a kit I actually DON"T paint.
That's what I'm thinking too! I'm trying to ascend beyond just "assemble the kit and call it done" and want to get into painting and panel lining. If anything, I may just do panel lining on this beauty. Being an artist too, who works with pen and ink with a fuck ton of cross hatching, the mere thought of lining each panel by hand feels euphoric.
I'm surprised that there's no wings of light on this. I was expecting it cuz it's an MGEX regardless of that I'm freaking HYPED! UPDATE: Just got mine today (Dec 8) and its gorgeous!
okay, I saw the price and I can confidently say it's worth it... I don't mind paying a bit more than a regular MG kit for that sweet extra details and gimmicks right out of the box, and the articulations seems top notch
Cheaper than how I predicted the price will be at $180 USD. Day one preorder for sure. And definitely getting two cause I want to display the inner frame.
Could possibly cost less if you can buy direct from Japan due to the Yen currently being low. And I wouldn't be surprised if they released a Clear version in the future.
My favourite Gundam of all time with this absolutely prefect kit design... I hope I'll be able to buy it in Japan when I go there next year in March... I spose Ill pre order one now and buy another when I get there.
Man just looking at this thing it reminds me a bit of the Perfect Grade Strike Freedom Gundam model with all those parts and everything and the fact it looks so badass.
Minus (almost all) of the terrible injection gold and giant banana feet. This thing really is a proper adaptation of the almost 300 dollar MB version in model kit form.
Let me guess BamCo, You're going to put the Full Burst Effect Parts as a Premium Bandai ( again ). _wouldn't be surprised since we've seen this way too many times_
Ok this time you win bandai..i don't have any gunpla before..so...i want this gunpla become my first gunpla.. because strike freedom and gundam seed series is my favourite gundam series and this mg ex make me mouth watering... can't wait🤤🤤🤤🤤
While I absolutely love the aspect of this kit…I can’t help but think it’s just “Another Strike Freedom.” Granted, with Kira’s mobile suits, the Remaster, 2.0, and now MGEX are all good. If anything they’re some of the best MG’s out there, but that creates another problem: Kira’s mobile suits. There’s just so many that it’s kind of getting Unicorn-ed at this point
i just hope that hip joint won't bring any bad issues like what we get from the MG Freedom 2.0, MG Justice, MG Providence and MG Eclipse 👀.... other than that it's gonna be a beautiful center piece 👍
Wait, its only $110? I was watching this ready to set $200 aside right now! When are orders open??? I was about to go third party and get a resin kit but the model designers crushed it with this!!!
@@steffy2 Double the price? Where are you buying your MGs? The last 4 Ive gotten were all over $70. Not to mention the comparable resin kit to this looks wise requires you buy the Strike Freedom MG for $70-$80(+ shipping) AND buy the FM resin kit for $100+ if you can even find it....
Doesn't have the add ons that the uni has like the base, 3 mini figs, a base, and LED so its quite reasonable in a way. The only thing that really makes this expensive is the gold parts that would probably have the mekki plating.
@@bunnyfreakz Not expensive? have you seen the coated knight superior dragon SD or Phenex in any grade with gold coating is expensive as hell. The SDs that you might be pointing might probably be the ones that has gold coating for a number of parts and not as a whole.
This is fucking sick!! And the price is 14,000 yen, i mean it’s far more affordable price than MGEX unicorn.. i must get this kit! And SF is also my all time favorite gundam
The fact that they did not advertise the features of the backpack or the Dragoons to be exact says that there will be a WoL with the Full Burst display option sometime in the future. Who knows.
I feel that its likely that they re-use some of the molds for the Super Dragoon at least, and the mechanism, although they seem to redesign the wing joints abit? I don’t think there will be Full Burst version, but add-ons like RG God Gundam’s are not impossible
Gorgeous indeed, but inclusion of wings of light and dragoon effects is much more satisfying for me. Of course, Bandai will release the inevitable Pbandai Expansion Set instead of including this in the box.
This model kit has more articulation than my entire body.
That's normal for robot kits though. For example, your head & limbs can't rotate 360 but most modern kits can 😅.

To be fair I think most kits have great articulation until you put the armor on to limit them, but this kit is on another level.
Sorry to break it to you but you're not a giant fucking robot

I second that
Transformation gimmick could be the next MG EX project. The best they have ever done ever. Thats my guess.
Still my third favorite gundam design, only below Freedom and Wing 0 EW. But man this particular version is just gorgeous.

Bandai will make wing of light expansion for this and they'll put it in a monochrome box.

i am so ready even if my wallet isnt... still 14000jpy roughs out to around 107usd so very fair price and way less than i expected

Yeah baby yeaahh lol
Thank you Bandai. Well done 💚👍👍👍
