On the note of those possible hands, DONT CUT THE BALL JOINT OFF. That is there on both MGEX kits because, as I’ve found in kits like the MG NU ver.ka, the wrist is exceptionally loose and drops the hand easily. That’s why your remove the present ball joint and replace it.

About the finish on your Hyaku Shiki, the plastic and paint does degrade with time, it is what it is, but you can restore them back up by dusting them off with a makeup brush and coating them or using something like Gunprimer's Glazer to give them a semi gloss sheen. Try it out.

Thanks for taking the extra time and effort on this review... it's super informative and definitely helpful for fans to decide if this is worth... For me, it's going to be on my wanted list once I reduce my backlog a bit...

I bet they're gonna make a clear armor p bandai expansion somewhere in the future, just like the PGU. The inner frame is just too good to be covered by the outer armor.

3:46 Mecha-senpai noticed me! Thank you very much!

I honestly haven't had much interest in this kit until now. I've always respected and appreciated your reviews. You do such excellent work, and we seem to have similar building tastes. I don't really have the time or funds to get into painting and customizing, beyond panel lining and top coats, so your reviews are spot on for me. Thank You

I just finished building this one! This was my first MG build, and I was absolutely blown away with the amount of detail. I accidentally fudged up the adjustable hands, but I don't plan on posing him with them. I want to learn how to place the watersides now.

I just finished this kit and enjoyed it a lot. I had trouble with the metal etched sticker parts sticking at some points and one of the articulated fingers fell off and when I put it back on it would pop off really easily, but enjoyed the building process and the final product a lot. Thanks for the review, it was really helpful in deciding to get this kit. Found this video after you mentioned it in BEST GUNDAM MODEL KITS OF 2022 | MECHA GAIKOTSU.

The original wrist of the articulated hands were notorious for breaking or popping off, so I personally think the new white wrists are an improvement

Thank you for this great review. Im looking forward to get my order for this. Kudos and more power to your channel.

Hey Mecha, you might be interested in DDB’s third party MGEX Wings of Destiny effect parts set. It really takes this kit to the next level. It includes Wing effect parts, little stands to hold the dragoons, and even effect parts for the dragoons themselves. Would love to see/hear your opinion on it.

The reason they changed the wrist on the articulated fingers is because that part often comes undone over time if there is a weapon being held up. Every single kit I own with one of those has the wrist come apart and start drooping awkwardly in the weapon holding hand.

This is definitely an upgrade to the original MG strike freedom for sure

MG strike freedom full burst was my first modelkit to build, i cant believe they actually made a version with improvement, i have been hoping bandai would do this! really happy to see this one!

Can’t wait for mine to arrive! I hope that the wing joints on this one are sturdier than the ones on the old MG and don’t warp as easily after spreading the wings a few times. Crossing my fingers for a future Wings of Light expansion too!

Thank you for answering my question :) I'm actually surprised that the MGEX is a higher quality cause the HiRM felt really premium to me and the funny thing is that I didn't even realize that I have the MGEX Unicorn in my backlog lol. I'll have to build it soon so I can compare that MGEX version (it could lesser quality since it was the first version) to the 4 HiRM I currently have (Barbatos, Both Wing models and the God Gundam) cause I know there is definitely a quality difference there between when Barbatos released and the God Gundam version.

I just received this as a gift this year, it’s gloriously awaiting in the backlog, just have to finish my mg Zeta 2.0 & HG Michaelis, beyond excited for this build

Mecha, the dragoons can clip onto the gold part of the wings, there in the middle there's a bit of a clip you can slot the side of a dragoon onto so they all pount forward around it.

The HG Strike Freedom was the first kit I've ever built, so I have something of an attachment to the suit. The temptation to pick this up is unreal...

Considering how Bandai have been with P Bandai Expansion sets as of late, as well as this being one of their most popular mobile suits, there is no doubt in my mind that there will be a wings of light + flying dragoon stand expansion set coming sometime in the near future.

My buddy bought this for me as a late birthday gift, can't wait for it to get here in the mail

Im surprised nobody on youtube has displayed this as half inner frame and half with armor on. That will look great on Hangar stand. Coz the inner frame has great detail.

Strike freedom is up to date my favourite gundam. I feel so happy to see Bandai puts their effort into this kit. Its just out of this world. Love your vids.

I will have to get this kit in the coming year because anytime I am looking at a kit I loom to see if you have reviewed and go off of how you feel about it. I have a MGEX Unicorn that I still have yet to build that I got when it came out I guess I will check the leds before hand again

I've been acting as the primary builder for my friends kit and after taking the large metal frame from around the etched parts. You can take a alcohol swab and rub it around the back of the etched bits allows the parts to lift off the tacky green film easier. Any remaining gunk comes off with a good rubbing of the swab aswell. But clean the metal before gluing the metal etched parts on as the alcohol will effect the finish on the metalic parts.

Great review as always but interesting you bring up those metallic stickers as I had a bit of a nightmare with them on my unleashed RX-78-2 build.

I can see Bandai making an MGEX Wing Gundam Zero EW (Custom) in the future. It’s inevitable. I mean, if they handle it like they did with the Ver. Ka, then it’ll be a solid MGEX. Give it the Drei Zwerg weapons and the Neo-Bird Mode and it’ll be the definitive, ultimate Wing Zero EW kit.

I hope this kit gets to me before x-mas. It looks so awesome :D

So I am fairly new to gunpla. Over the last 2 weeks I dropped about $800 in models and painting stuff (PG Astray, MG Unicorn Ver.Ka, RG Age FX (for my youngest as he wants to try models), and MG eclipse) I just got an airbrush and compressor there too. The owner says to me "seeing as you are a high-paying customer and you like our shop I have this in a box as I just got them in but I have 2 of these. I am happy to hold this for you until you come in for your next purchase. The last time I sold 5 these they lasted 12 hours." I will take it but know I won't be in till May I replied. No problem he smiles and really thank you for your business.

It’s finally here, the review everyone waiting for❤

"So Far..." Technology is always evolving, look back on your models kits from this time last year, 5 years ago, and 10 years ago if you want proof.

I know I've mentioned it in the past, but since you really like that ankle armor articulation, I'll once again plug the Knight of Dark Sky model kit. That was the first kit I've seen that does a similar sliding ankle armor gimmick, plus lots of other small neat things throughout the frame.

As a kid I would always take all the armour of my bionicles leaving a scrawny “inner frame” I’d then put the mask on followed by the rest of the armour and make believe they were powering up, I get very nostalgic building kits like MG Barbados, PG unleashed and now this where you have the inner frame first then add the armour to “power up” the inner Frame

cant wait to get my hands on one of these and do some shading into a titanium white for the amour with a nice deep metallic blue

This thing might be the Perfect companion in an angelic pose near the the zero gravity judge, so gorgeous

It's gorgeous! Unfortunately I may need to wait for another year or two to get this as the reseller's price may require an arm lmao

Super excited to get this model in the next few days it’s gonna be my first MGEX kit hopefully I’m prepared after PGU and PG Banshee

The inner frame looks like gem jewelery 💎

It look more like an over size real grade, wich is fantastic. I was about to buy this kit but it was too expansive, so I decide to go for the past gumpla king (rg hi nu gundam), but that doesn't mean I dont going to buy this kit in a near future 🤫. This review just show me that maybe this is one of those things you cant missing out. Thanks Mecha, amazing work as always.

I can already see the future of top 10 gunpla for this year!

The MGEX really is in a class of it own! I wanted to display it next to my Freedom 2.0 in a hangar with frame exposed on both. but side by side my freedom just doesnt hold up! Im going back into my freedom and giving it a Die-Cast frame and hand painting many more details so they will look more like a package side by side. Lookng forward to what they do next with the MGEX line!

Hope they make MGEX versions of the Nu and Wing zero gundams as well. Fantastic review BTW, can't wait for mine to arrive.

Beautiful kit . As expected from a Strike Freedom kit. Thanks for the review. Its good to have you. More power to your channel 👍👍👍

RG strike Freedom is my first gunola, bought it when it first released. I guess this is my 2nd one.

This Gunpla kit looks good even when it's under-detailed (straight-up assembly & sticker application only).

I can see this as best kit of 2022

Great review. Unluckily not available to purchase at now. After having airbrushed my RX78-2 Unleashed… I’ll sure paint this one as well: too nice! Any examples out there?

Just a wow masterpiece and i hope i can grab one coz here in our country it gets more pricey as the kit becomes rare and hard to find finally a Strike freedom that surpasses all

Damn this thing looks way better than I thought it would

Got that one and boy, what a pleasure it was to assemble and to deal with the final product, I can only wish for MGEX infinite justice now to make the pair, maybe MGEX providence or Destiny as well (or both).

in the korean bandai channel it had a demo where you can attach the dragoon bits in way that its facing forward you may want to look into that but the official manual doesnt suggest it so it might not be recommended, mileage may vary

this on my Christmas list now!

Damn, truly worthy of the MG EX line. Wish it was even more flashy with the gold though!!! Truly the peak Strike Freedom look. Better than the PG I would argue.

Is there a way to enhanced the adhesive side of the metal etched parts without ruining the plastic? will glue stick work? or CA glue will work without damaging the details of the plastic behind? thank you!

Finally bought it and ordered the metal parts, delphi gold holo water slides and looking for LEDs to incorporate

I’ve seen that people use water based adhesives when applying photo etched parts, i guess you should try that and as for the wrist on the articulated hands, Bandai has opted to not use the articulated one anymore as it is prone to breaking and leaving the other part stuck in the socket, its happened with my MG Sinanju stein and i’m hoping it doesn’t happen on my Rx-78-2 3.0

Great review as always, Mecha. I'd love to have the chance to build this beauty, but sadly, at near or over $200 dollars, it puts it in the too high price point. Now I know that it msrp on hlj say about $120, but they are sold out sadly.

im not a huge fan of clear kits, but i imagine this would be stunning with clear translucent armor

It totally has the complexity of PG unleashed. So, in the future for kits like this, in MG scale it will be called MGEX, and for PG scale it's PGU. I wonder if they're gonna do the same for the 1/144 scale, considering the modern RG is a big upgrade from the HG line in terms of details for 1/144 scale. Even the SD line got the MGSD treatment, i cant wait what the future will bring to the gunpla world

What technique were you using for applying the decals? I just got into model building, and I've been avoiding decals until I'm more experienced and can adhere them in a way that they'll stay. I also still need to get some pens/markers for doing panel lining.

This looks like a metal build gundam straight out from seeing it . I LOVE IT

Im waiting for mine to ship, but hotdamn im super excited to ge it here. Strike Freedom is my favorite gundam ever and even tho im still amateurish in gunpla I went and spend on this one because I need a crown jewel of my collection.

I'm in the middle of building this kit. I just finished the Inner Frame and the Wings and good lord this kit is awesome.

Hey, love your videos. I have a pretty important question. When you do panel lining on your kits, say this one for example, do you go e them a top coat befor you panel line. I have a few kits that I'm starting out doing Gunpla with. I got myself this one, a Moonlight Judge, Red Astray kai. I started with my Astray using Gundam pin type markers and there was a part that cracked and fell apart. So yes I was wondering before I started the other kits if you top coat first? Was it my mistake or a one off that the part cracked. Much appreciated in advance

I jumped into the deep end, this is my first Gunpla!! so hyped!!!

Ngl kira's cockpit seat must be insanely warm considering he sits on top of a giant cannon

27:08 NGL, that rightmost hand caught me off-guard 🤣

@Mecha Gaikotsu you may not have mentioned in the articulation of the wings. Will you be doing a separate video about it? The only reason i'm asking is, the old MG strike freedom has issues with the wing connectors and how they lock into each other and swivel in and out. Once you get that connection wrong its over for the wings. So design and build wise, does the MGEX Strike Freedom have a different wing construction that would allow it to openly move its wings

such a bummer most sites are sold out of this, been wanting a Strike Freedom MG for quite a while
