When the theatrical version of “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM” was announced, one of the most heated discussions among Gundam fans was the design of the Ascend Freedom Gundam, as the main character’s model decays and resembles a mass-produced machine , and the MA deformation This editor cannot actually accept the design.
The popular theatrical version
Unexpectedly, after the theatrical version of “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM” was officially released in Japan, the box office surpassed 1 billion yen in just 3 days; and the two HG models launched on the market during the same period, Ascend Freedom Gundam and Immortal Mae Ustus Gundam, have become popular models; The Ascension editor received a Freedom Gundam to test, and worked on it during the holidays on Saturday and Sunday to review for everyone.
Extra large complementary color stickers
As soon as I opened the box, what caught my attention the most was the oversized complementary color sticker, which is relatively rare among HG series models. I dislike complementary color stickers the most. If it doesn’t have much impact, I’ll choose not to post it. Fortunately, the use of stickers is mainly focused on the bodywork and some details. As well as the necessary eye and crown photosensitive elements, the small auxiliary wings behind the legs need stickers also to complement the colour. Large area stickers are mainly used for equipment, for example, the lining of the backpack thruster needs to be filled with red, the sensor on the MA-shaped machine head, and the dark blue of the long pushers on both sides, etc. , everyone needs to rely on stickers to achieve. Especially the wings of the backpack, the complementary color of the white stripes depends entirely on stickers, and the editor will not paste these parts!
The editor chose not to put supplementary color stickers (backpack), and the effect is not bad even if I don’t put supplementary color stickers at all!
Good color separation HG level
In fact, except for the stickers on the equipment, the color separation of the HG Ascension Freedom body part is well done, of course for an HG class model. However, note that some of the color-separated parts are very small, such as the red part on the forehead, which is as fine as a grain of rice… It can only be assembled with the help of pliers.
The effect after changing color and painting is very good
Even when the HG Ascension Freedom Gundam was released, many comments said it was ugly and looked like a mass produced machine. When I used it personally, I didn’t think it was very ugly, however, the editor used the color the mood of the Freedom Gundam mode After changing the color and painting, I honestly feel… …The Ascension Freedom Gundam is actually a pair of handsome guys.
All this blue has to be re-sprayed, I can’t accept this kind of blue.
The black parts were changed to dark blue like Freedom Gundam
The other parts will be recolored and painted, so I won’t go into details.
Joint mobile expression reaches upper middle level
Let’s talk about the joints The design of the neck part uses a ball joint at the top and a one-way axis structure at the bottom. This design allows the head to rise and fall freely, and it can rotate left and right and swing to the side; large chest section Protrusive split design of the air outlet and the middle section, multi-section configuration of the waist, including the front and back swings of the lower end, the left and right side swings, and the additional bending movement achieved by adding joint parts. The most exaggerated thing is the mobility of the shoulders, which can swing to a great extent.
It is worth noting that the design of the leg also shows a high level of mobility. The pull-down slide structure used at the bottom of the thigh also optimizes the sense of proportion of the legs by adjusting the height, and at the same time improves the range of motion of the legs for front kicks, back kicks and kicks side. The ankle armor is connected by ball joints, and with the design of snap joints and bottom ball joints, the foot can swing forward and backward, swing left and right, and rotate horizontally.
Action Motivation
Form MA…let’s forget about it
The MA form that is criticized or made fun of the most is still the same even if the color is changed. It’s very ugly. I don’t want to mess with’ The Ascension Freedom Gundam is already sprayed with oil, and it will be ruined if I leave the oil again. Ok, so I’ll show you the effect using the official image. I think fans won’t want to put it in this MA form.

Summary: HG model that performs well in all aspects
Although it is only an HG level model, its performance in terms of design and mobility is by no means bad. I am looking forward to the successor machine “Assault Freedom Gundam Max” which will be released in the future, please however, the HG version of the model will not be released until May, so we still have to wait. It’s been a while; but what I want to know more is, when will the movie version of “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM” be released in Hong Kong ?
