BANDAI SPIRITS Gundam - MGEX 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam - Model Kit

Great kit, was my first and won't be the last

I am currently still building this model currently will post another review once completed, but this was my first try at building anything on this scale and I would have to say I am really impressed at the level of detail that goes in to this product is amazing!! If your a fan of Gundam and want to have something from the anime in you're collection! I am looking forward to finishing this build and adapting the Kosmos Lighting kit to this model to give it that extra pop. I would recommend to anyone buying this to assemble everything very carefully and ensure you don't break anything, in my case I had broke one of the wing elements where it would hold the wings in the back module on model. In my case I ended up buy a cheap replacement part online made of metal, which turned out great. Its nice to know that there is still such a demand for parts in this kit! Love the build so far and cant wait to finish this build! 1000% must buy!!

This model is on a completely different level. I was in awe when I first opened the box and saw the amount of sprues and runners. The build process was really fantastic, it has you build the internal frame before covering it in armour. It was such a satisfying feeling watching it all come together. The metallic sections really pop in the light. The MGEX Strike Freedom really makes a fantastic centrepiece for any Gunpla collection!

A christmas gift so cant give to much of feedback but looks like it will be a great kit to build. Looks great and all parts included. Delivery was on time.

Great kit specially if your into gunpla the attention to detail is amazing and it will take a bit off time to complete, I would definitely recommend this if your into the hobby but if you decide this is going to be your 1st ever build then your in for a treat..

They are amazing had for birthday and now for christmad

If you’re ever going to pick just one Gundam for your collection, make it this one. I spent time in Japan, hunting through all kinds of Bandai models, from MetalBuild to the intricate PG kits. Trust me, this MGEX is the pinnacle when it comes to quality and detail. It's an absolute joy just to look at. A must-have for any collection.

Arrived as described

This is the pinnacle of Gunpla engineering. It is by far the most complex, articulated, detailed, accented model I've ever assembled. I couldn't even fit all of the sprues on my kitchen table, there's SO much. It comes with its own stand because it has to: when you attach the wings to the main body, the whole model is so heavy that its knees can't hold it up. It does stand up on its own if you remove the backpack + wings. To be honest, I think this is at or even a little bit beyond the limit of what you can physically do with plastic. The legs are incredibly articulated, the thing can cross its ankles and go on tiptoe and honestly it could probably twerk in stop-motion if I spent the time on it. However, with so many articulation points in the legs, just getting a single leg into the pose you want is an exercise in joint isolation: you gotta hold all 3 other joints still and then move just the one you want, and then repeat that for every single joint. I almost wish it was simpler and less articulated, now that it's built. The inner gold frame is amazing, and it was super fun to build the whole thing twice: once for the inner frame, once for the outer armor. However, I didn't realize just how covered up the internal gold frame would be. There's a dozen etching stickers (which are a nightmare to work with, by the way), and while they're all visible on the inner frame, more than half of them are *completely* covered up on the finished model, and the instructions don't indicate which ones those are, at all. I almost wish I hadn't bothered with putting them all on. Also, I straight up broke off one of the four wings when trying to pose it. I wasn't even using that much force, I was just pivoting in the wrong direction. This should be considered an experts-only kit, if that wasn't obvious already. I got this for $180, and I'd say it's definitely worth that price. A lot of sellers are offering this for $250 and I don't think it's quite that good, but I don't think any model is that good.

Nice delivery. The box arrived in good quality.

The driver was friendly. Is just that I received the item, the box was broken/damaged, even the items box was damaged. Still I accept hoping the items inside not broken

Veio na caixa sem nenhum amassado e perfeitamente embalado. Todas as peças estavam incluídas. A entrega também foi bem mais rápida que o previsto. Os decalques waterslide não tinham uma fixação tão boa quanto a de outros kits que já montei, mas esse kit tem tantos detalhes que nem faz tanta falta não colocar todos eles. Outro problema são o par de mãos articuláveis que vem junto. Os dedos saem com muita facilidade e tive que colar eles na base da mão, limitando um pouco o movimento. No entanto esse kit vem com outros pares de mãos em poses fixas que podem substituir as articuláveis. Foi extremamente divertido e satisfatório de montar.

My boyfriend was so happy when he got this as a gift for his birthday and new year. I’m glad it came on time and is in good condition. Although the box is not in perfect form
