btw... Strike Freedom isn't really considered a 'Strike Gundam', is it? lol

Well, if you ask me, go for Aile Strike Gundam, Master Grade. Not only do you get the original beauty of Strike Gundam but you also get this really tuff looking stand. As dalong kinda indicated, Noir is better suited for Noir fans, but if you want a Strike, go for THE Strike. Again, just my opinion. I'd rather get that than IWSP or Noir.


The way I went about this is, I got Strike Rouge, Strike IWSP, and Strike Noir.
That way, I'd have Noir, and I could still interchange Rouge and Strike's striker packs without an extra Strike lying around.

You know, I was about to ask that question. But I think "Strike Freedom" is a different (much different) variation from the "Strike Gundams." But yeah, I already own the SF, which I'm still pretty disappointed in due to the wings primarily.

what didn't you like about the wing unit?

philmein 2007-06-20 23:04

Well, the wings aren't very rigid. Everytime I would move or shake the gundam a bit, the wings are just so flabby that they can't be still. A bit loose. I highly doubt it was due to poor building. Also, that one piece that connects the first wing to the second wing. It's like if you move the wings apart to much, that plastic piece breaks and so the the wings become loose. Not sure if I make sense, but I'm pretty sure everyone can vouch for me that the wings were the most troublesome part of the model kit.

Lol who shakes their gundam models :rolleyes:, your talking about the master grade strike freedom? There nothing wrong with the wings, but I agree the joints arent invincible. Pulling/tuging on the winglets will damage & loosen the internal mechanism, constant reposing has the same effect so just be gentle with it ;).

aikming 2007-06-21 21:38

Nothing wrong with the wings. Just the design is bad. It's primarily designed for normal mode but not well-designed for wing-mode. Look at the joints and you'll realize. Once you rotate the wings, it'll move from the connectors and end up loose.

Also the stand is one of the worse stand. With the weight of MG SF, it's so shaky. The three flexible parts are badly designed, especially the lowest part which could bend.

philmein 2007-06-21 23:21

Well, I don't shake it like a baby playing with a rattle. I mean gently moving it around. Then again, I don't think that's even conventional either. I'm weird. Also, is it just me or are the flaps around its waist completely loose? Seriously, the front and back two flaps are so loose. Anyway to fix this?

thephreak 2007-06-22 00:26

is there also the same problem with the F.B.M?

well, i've never had any problems with the connectors or the joints for the wings eventhough i play and pose it a lot. Perhaps it is because i sprayed a layer of gold and topcoat at the joint, that is why it ain't loose. And i agree, the stand sux!!!it can't hold the weight of the model, just as you said, the lowest part keeps falling off...

I also spray with a layer of gold and topcoat. But still nothing change. When I pose the wings like the front cover of the box. The back wing actually dropped, showing it's loose. It could differ from other people's gundam since I have come across issue that others didnt have and those that others have but I didn't have.

lol... Rouge-Noir sounds kinda awkward... even somewhat contradictory.

btw, that Turn A is looking tuff, even though it doesnt seem like anything spectacular (like e.g Hi-n or Xbone FC, SF full burst, etc.), it just... has something about it.

Also, I used to hate the Gelgoog and a lot of other Zeon designs, but that MG actually reduces my disrespect for em a little. But still, I won't plan on getting one.

heh, I'm liking that Zok somewhat. (Zok right?)

Maybe it's because I wanted those Seed Amphibie's in a HG form :heh:
