HG Rising Freedom Gundam Review | Gundam SEED Freedom

[@ZENKI07]

At first I didn't like this design of the Freedom, but after watching the film it actually grew on me and I'm in NEED to have this kit.

[@mj2005gundam]

On the contrary, the Rising Freedom seems to have grown off for me. I don't know why I didn't like it as much as I did previously

[@xavierwalko4175]

Paint it like you should and you get a nice kit. Use it and the Helios to give us the Destiny upgrade we should have gotten, even tho the PREBAN repaint somehow made it G Gundam tier.

[@Nonameplz_]

That's a good idea I might need to get more than one to make a nicer destiny

[@Nonameplz_]

The destiny is one of my favorite HG kits so it might be worth it for me

[@mj2005gundam]

Sadly, it's true. Biggest reason being the bloody blue

[@cjv-x10a4]

My biggest issue with the Rising Freedom is the loss of the "mouth" vent. It was an aesthetic that separates the Freedom from the Justice and has been every other Freedom, plus the Strike before it. Having it removed just feels wrong.

[@Mzakhri]

I prefer without the mouth vent making it look more menacing, to each his own 😀

[@cjv-x10a4]

@@Mzakhri I would argue that it loses it's own character that made its face stand out from the Justice. As they are, they look too similar to each other, compared to before.

[@mj2005gundam]

Though I'd argue the loss of the mouth vents (and the steel blue) makes it stand out from the other Freedom units. Like it's very different, but still shows its roots, y'know?

[@adriflux7704]

I like it way more like this. The Justices have always felt superior due to that and other details. And that is a way too common detail on almost every other Gundam, so this is more unique overall.

[@setsunafseiei4745]

This kit still looks really good, even without the stickers on

[@mj2005gundam]

Which is why it's frustrating that the designers found it necessary to overly-design it

[@tureboiii7201]

Just ordered this! Will be my first ever gunpla!

[@mj2005gundam]

Good luck and have fun

[@NeoSlashott]

Just like a keyhole type, the c clips can insert and lock safely without stressing the plastic. I'm quite surprised their main MS now updated with a new flight form functionality just like Murasames.

[@tagschmidt1259]

But you know what would be better? An HGCE Murasame Kai

[@mj2005gundam]

If the flight form is for nothing but atmospheric re-entry, they're pointless. The Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice already managed to do that on their own

[@GmRgmtyp87]

This a sick kit of hg from gundam Seed freedom. I so excited for infinite justice gundam type 2 and black knight squad shi-ve.a

[@mj2005gundam]

Black Knight Squad is gonna ship soon, so I have high hopes for it as it's one of the original designs that don't really have a known predecessor

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The "erroneous" color choice actually makes the Rising Freedom look a lot better for me personally compared to the lineart and animation colors.

[@DiamondCrash]

I like the gunpla colors more too, the shade of blue just looks more in line with the blue on the Strike, Freedom and Strike Freedom.

[@luminusprime]

I do actually like the more subdued lineart colors, but as is often the case with Okawara's linework, the proportions are big oof. I feel like they wait until he walks out of the room, then get Katoki to redraw it before going to renders. 😅

[@mj2005gundam]

This has been going on since G-Witch, and while I know a few who'd like the kit colours, it doesn't exactly invalidate my statement of it being wrong. I personally like the steel blue better as it give it more character instead of blending in with the other Freedom units

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

The one thing I can say about the flight mode is that the winglets in the calves make me think they could give us removable heat daggers in a new HG Crossbone. Shame we won't be getting one.

[@mj2005gundam]

We've came so far in HG, yet won't see the engineering be applied to past kits as those would need a complete redo

[@VelvetReddring]

I am a little curious though if you don't mind me asking I was thinking of getting this kit because it has a mobile armor mode, but what other kit has a better looking MA mode in your opinion?

[@mj2005gundam]

These simple shield-on-face transformations only look good when done by the OGs like Wing and Wing Zero; while parts-formers like the Delta and Murasame Kai are my picks in that realm. However, if you want something in the middle, the AGE-2 variants besides the Double Bullet look great for how simple the process is for a drastic appearance change.

[@VelvetReddring]

I'm gonna assume by Delta you mean The Delta Gundam and not the Kai/Plus variant I think Wing and Wing Zero are the ones more readily available in my area but I'll definitely watch out for the other kits you mentioned, thanks

[@rahmadahusada3944]

Its still OK even without Sticker 😁

[@mj2005gundam]

I believe the consensus is that it looks better without the stickers. And had I not known that it has trims in its proper design, I'd go for that look

[@G_BarbaTOES]

Yea I'm late. And I'm quite new to gunpla. Does stress marks lead the parts to be fragile and might even break? If yes, what should I do? Hey thanks alot

[@mj2005gundam]

Stress marks aren't really a problem in stationary pieces like large slabs or armor panels. But once they appear on movable parts like joints and sockets, they will be weakened noticeably. The best way to treat them is to prevent them in the first place, but otherwise reinforce the joint with glue or topcoat, and paint over the part to mask the stress mark. However, it isn't a one size fits all solution, especially not for joints, so caution is always better than fixes.

[@pierreaugustevinluan]

Great Job Brother! Love It!!!!!❤

[@mj2005gundam]

Thanks

[@RevanR]

Strike Freedom lite version, the colouration isn't that bad but the sticker sheet is quite nightmarish to look at. The transformation feature feels like as if last thought additional.

[@mj2005gundam]

Especially since the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice re-entered the atmosphere with no body mods, tanking the heat with their VPS armor alone. In a nutshell, this is an alternate take of the original Freedom Gundam, with a shield funnel that can be sent off and replaced with a beam shield.

[@corey-cg01]

Im happy the flight form is only used like twice for entering and exiting the atmosphere at the beginning one thing that confuses me though are the ballute Esque things the Luna's Gelgoog and Agnes' Gyan use. No ones brought them up even though this is the first time they've appeared in Seed and i really wanna know where they come from.

[@mj2005gundam]

Thing is, the MA mode isn't needed as the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice entered the atmosphere unassisted without a need for such a mode. The ballutes can just have been commissioned in universe for COMPASS' use. There's no need to explain those.

[@hadirogue2631]

Question is it compatible with HG METEOR unit?

[@mj2005gundam]

If the METEOR can clear the nosecone and thrusters, then yes. I can't tell you definitively because I don't have one

[@windslayerr11]

The MA mode is not too bad. Just slap the rifle under the nosecone instead and the whole mode will look passable.

There is a reason this kit is not high in my priority list. Also I'd like to imagine a super-expert builder trying to retrofit the 2015 HGCE Freedom Gundam with joints from this kit. I feel that and the Strike Freedom walked so that the Destiny and beyond could run.

[@mj2005gundam]

Someone ought to upgrade the original units. There's just no end to the extents the Japanese will go in terms of Gundam mods.

[@mj2005gundam]

[@HereticalKitsune]

I can see why the white on the wings is flashy, it draws more attention to the otherwise dark, almost stealthy large surfaces. With all the white of the Gundam itself there is not much point in camo anyway. Nice kit, tho. A good Shield Hero with those two different shields, too!

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The Freedom and Strike Freedom though managed to look majestic despite having similarly blue and white wings. Though it's only really the HGCE that has the issue of the stripes not looking great. On the Metal Robot Spirits, the white stripes are longer, thinner, and have a more shallow angle, which allows them to properly accent the wings without looking as... tacky as the HGCE's wings do.

[@mj2005gundam]

It's quite well, and heavily, equipped for a battery-powered unit. I doubt the resource management game would factor into the plot until it matters though. The white trims, while a nice accent, could've also been done away with in all honesty. Though, the painted result is definitely better to appreciate

[@Christian-ll1hq]

The MA mode Looks Cool in my opinion , it reminds me of ZOE , if it was any more complex, it would suffer like the zeta HG

Some looseness in some parts, some of the color separation is off and that stupid flight mode(Seriously I facepalmed when I saw the images online) do drag it back. Honestly I am not the biggest fan of freedom related gundams but at least you can take the backpack and slap it on to other models which is a plus. Another soild review!

My main issue with this kit, is the price. Like it is extremely close to RG kits level pricing. If I am paying that much for a HG, then I am expecting everything to be spot on. And that sticker sheet doesn't help. And its "transformation" certainly do not help trying to justify the price.

[@mj2005gundam]

The sticker sheet is inevitable in a way, and better than painting the trims in as it covers the parts separation. At the same time, I would've expected them to at least get the blue right when they got all the other stuff down. The Transformation is literally pointless though, that can be shoved off to the side
