1:01 I can think of few more iconic moments than the Strike rising for the first time amidst explosions while the opening build-up of _Anna ni Issho datta no ni_ kicks in at full force.
The og Gundam rising up.
@@gerogyzurkov2259 i think he is talking about ending transition song.
For me the best one from that SEED ed is Athrun and Kira on opposite sides of that fence when they meet up again in ORB. That being said, i tear up just thinking about the Red;birthmark drop after the Final Duel in g-witch so personally it's that show
As a proud owner of 1 of this fellas...
The HGCE Freedom and Strike Freedom work wonders together with it ❤
They dont exactly fit 100% because of proportions, but once you manage to settle them... OH BOY!🎉
On a side note.
Took a while for Gaikotsu to get to it.
I built mine around 3 years ago with build stream and review (in spanish)...
Good times.
I find the Revive freedom fists don't work there well so swapped the fists. Which is why the reg release is better than p bandai. The rg fists are even worse
I put the original head on the new HGCE kit. The heads just a little big, but it looks sooooo much better in my opinion.
Does the meteor unit fit with RG freedom or strike freedom?
how does Athrun's MSs fit into them?
The P-Bandai version is the same kit but with additional parts that allows you to mount the RG kit on it. IIRC, it was released around the the RG Freedom was released.
Bandai also released a P-Bandai version of HG GN-Arms with parts to mount RG Exia.
Additional note: both the P-Bandai METEOR and GN-Arms does not come with HG Freedom and HG Exia respectively.
16:00 Like this kit, the GNR-001E GN Arms Type-E got their initial HG run and then a 'Real Type' recolor to be used with the RG mobile suit. Of course the actual connection part was altered to be compatible with the RG kit. It's the same with this 'Real Type' P-Bandai release. It's been slightly colored to look more 'real' and the connection port was adjusted to be compatible with the RG.
@xxnike0629xx Cite your sources. After all, you are still refusing to build a kit again anyway.
@xxnike0629xx in favour of spamming wishlists, building BOX forts ....
My man isn´t curing my addiction, he´s encouraging it
Massive recency bias, but the transitions into RED have been amazing.
I'd say the transitions for Red Birthmark are superior because it's so subtle and soft you barely noticed that it's there before it's too late and that bass hits and then you realized "shit, it's ending alr???"
Love the leviathan box in the back ground lol
Man, that old Freedom reminds me alot of my old HG and MG Wing kits I had as a kid. Still have them in a bin too. Those foil stickers and that fully non colored beam saber are a blast from the past.
Remember that sanding down the pegs on older HGs is a decent idea, makes them take apart easier if you accidentally clamp then together too hard. This will also help you seal the seamlines easier.
Hot take. Gundam Seed Destiny. The switch to outro when stellar died. I still get goosebumps thinking about it
G-Witch had the superior transitions. The hauntingly beautiful instrumental beginning portion of Red Birthmark that plays before the ED goes into full gear... coupled with how it played over credits in certain episodes before transitioning into the full vocal track... my god, it's amazing. That extended instrumental beginning portion had better be on the 4-DISC CD release of the OST.
nahh Seed is better Gtrash has the worst Transition
Not to mention the theme being absent until the end of episode 1 that was hype
my favorite ending transition in gundam is (by all means technically counts) the end of Thunderbolt Bandit Flower
the big reveal into the credits was so good
This is my proudest collection right now, along with GN Arms Type-D I got recently from Japan. I haven’t assembled the latter because I just don’t have space
I really need to color it at some point in the future.
See saw transition is absolutely ethereal. I started watching seed 2 weeks ago which is coincidence since it's 20th anniversary haha
Talking about the HGUC Neo Zeong, I miss it and now currently waiting for a release.
actually Bandai still uses the "toy-like" shiny plastic for their Shokugan Modeling Project or SMP kits for short.
I have the r-gun and the r-1. They feel like kits from decades ago, like they’re designed to recapture nostalgia.
That gunpla marker looks good. Based on this video, the strokes don't look visible at all.
Love the Leviathan Easter egg but with your schedule don't know when you're going to be able to build it 😁
The old HG Freedom I like it. It feel more toyish but still fun kit u can practice painting on.
Man I wish you start reviewing 3rd party add ons like the MG and RG Metal frames. Seed Metal frames and Nu, Hi-Nu and Sazabi Metal frames would be nice to look upon.
Okay, so related to comparing old kits to newer kits. I've got a 1990 HG Gundam Mk-II and when I got back into plamo, I ended up getting the RG of the Mk-II. The two standing side is both funny, but also shows how far kits have come.
waiting for this man to review hg Gundam X and Double X
i'm glad i have bought this stuff for a good price because today scalper may sell this one as abnormal prices
I bet they'll realease a P-Bandai version with the Revive Freedom
I should buy this and the revive, so I should get idea for Modded, I should thanked to MechaGaiKotsu’s ideas, I barely gotten thinking to make one.
I also do plan on getting this but painting it to match my custom strike freedom... When I finally get a chance to grab one
I've got one of these that I haven't built yet. Been sitting around for several years. I finally decided I want to mate it with the HGCE Infinite Justice.
some of the transitions in to red:birthmark had me in tears and seed never did that to me
Kira sounded like SpongeBob if he snorted a bunch of coke and just lost his marbles.
You gotta check the runners on the back of the letter part to see when that specific kit was printed
Nice thngs about the msv gundam marker set is its matte finish- love the dark gray and i used the blue and green to make a 21st century color custom hg gouf custom with the limited flight type colors from gundam base
I've always wanted to buy this kit
You think thats crazy. I started out building the old Endless Waltz kits when I was a kid. The ones that had feet that were all one color. Gunpla definitely has come a long way. . .
My first kit was the 1995 Wing Gundam. Hooo boy that was a thing. I kind of miss my HG Tallgeese III, but I'm sure that's just nostalgia talking...
@@MrMyu Definitely all nostalgia, but that's okay. I really wish I still had all those kits now too. Especially Tallgeese III. They were great for their time.
I still have my HG 1/144 Tallgeese mint in packaging with the shrink wrap still on it. I also have my HG 1/144 Tallgeese 2, HG Tallgeese 3 both 1/144 and 1/100 kits all built. I also have the P-Bandai Tallgeese 3 still mint in package. I still want to get the P-Bandai MG Tallgeese 2 for my collection. I also still have the HG 1/100 Serpent still mint in package and the HG 1/144 Wing Zero still in the shrink wrap. I just got the new P-Bandai HG 1/144 Deathsythe Hell last week. I still have my HG 1/144 Wing Gundam and Wing Gundam Zero revive to build. I also have most of the EW MG kits still to build. All of my other Wing kits are built- PG 1/60 Wing Gundam Zero, HG 1/60 Wing Gundam Zero, HG 1/100 Wing Gundam, Deathsythe, Shenlong, Wing Gundam Zero, Deathsythe Hell, Altron Gundam, Gundam Epyon, EW Wing Zero, EW Deathsythe Hell custom,EW Heavyarms, EW Sandrock, EW Nataku MG 1/100 Wing Gundam Ver Ka, Wing Gundam Zero, Deathsythe Hell custom, EW Gundam Heavyarms, MG Wing Gundam tv version, no grade 1/144 Wing Gundam, no grade Deathsythe and Deathsythe Hell, no grade Shenlong and Altron, no grade Sandrock, no grade Wing Gundam Zero, no grade Gundam Epyon, 1/144 revive Deathsythe, Sandrock revive, Heavyarms revive, Shenlong revive. And many more.....
@@willisjackson7029 I'm extremely jealous. Literally all of mine have been lost to time.
I swear if this turns into a mgex for the recent Strike Freedom, then it'll be so worth it
i like how this kit is so old that it doesnt get a bronze tier rating
A while back,my local comic book /hobby shop, had this kit but it wasn't in my price range
RED:BIRTHMARK HANDS DOWN
I would love to see you review any of the motor nuclear model kits
I just ordered the motor nuclear ao bing for myself
Nothing could have prepared me for all white beam saber complete with severed hand
Mecha Gaikotsu when he realizes that Gunpla are model kits and not toys: :0
That freedom looks like a happy meal toy
Seed's best Transitioning is still Seed Remastered Episode of Orb's Destruction after Cagali's Screaming into Akatsuki no Kuruma's Chorus🥲🥲
I just switched the old freedom with the Revive freedom and swap fists. I find the Revive fists don't work that well on this. The rg fists are even worse.
That 2004 looks about like the no-grade 1/144 Wing kits I had. O.O
I was just looking for this kit
Its gotta be red birthmark
Oh that textured moulding, I've seen them do that on nerf guns while I was growing up, thought it was the coolest thing. Didn't know it ever made its way onto gunpla.
G-Witch by a county mile.
That Freedom be looking like an Entry Grade. 😂
hopefully tyou can also make a review for the SMP line of model kits, especially the SRX
Stop saying its a 20 year old kit, I'm not old aaaaaah!
But seriously, I love that you showcased this because I've been on a run getting SEED/Destiny (specifically Kira)'s suits that I missed getting back in the day due to the new movie coming (HYPE), and I think this one can fall on the "maybe later" pile because I don't have much time for the amount of paint work it requires. Now if only I can find one MG SF.
Side note I wish you had tried on the RG Freedom on the METEOR tho, I'm looking at mine and it seems like the back wings on the RG can swerve back enough to fit, maybe.
1:33 is that the mobile armour used near the end of stardust memory?!
> buy old HG
> complain abt everything
never changes, mechagaikotsu
Just one question: Have you tried the METEOR unit with the other variations of the Strike Freedom, since it was also used with the Strike Freedom in the show...
The little peg/wings used to hold up the model at the waste are so obnoxiously fragile
Those massive beams would look great modified so that a 1/144 HG/RG could hold them as handheld beam sabers. And then doing that famous two-handed sword pose where the tip of the sword is close to the screen. Idk what the pose is called.
Is that a warhammer Leviathan box in the back
now i am interested to see comparison of hg meteor and p bandai rg meteor
Mecha, did you try it with the new HGCE Infinite Justice?
can’t wait for that metal gear rex to be built 😬😬
Thats my fav Gundam Meteor unit❤❤❤❤❤
Also My HG Gundam 00 1/144 Gundam Dynames with GN Arms Type-D and HG IBO 1/144 Barbatos Long Distance Transport
I got 2 of them for my HG Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice
Hmmm... have you tried the Metior unit with the Justice, Strike Freedom and Infinate Justice? Cause you will need 3 more Metior units. But cool retro model kit.
Still need to build mine
The only thing the old hg freedom did better than the revive is how you attach the shield to the arm
It would be cool to get a version of this that didn’t come out the year I was born.
Find the 1/400 meteor. I bought those. Because they fit the SD kits!
I"ve always wanted one, especially use it for the RG freedom, but it's just too damn big it'll be impossible for me to display it.
I'm excited for the new gundam seed movie
YEY!!!!! IT'S HERE!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
10:32 I happen to own a Gundam Universe Freedom Gundam which is quite similar in proportions, as well as backpack (the wings are identical), arm and skirt design. However, it features simpler PVC hands and a much better head.
holy moly that 03 freedom sure brought back memories lol Def remember the crap wings but dont remember the rest being that bad!!!
The M.E.T.E.O.R. Unit reminds me of the Dendrobium from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.
Us: Please bandai release us an MG of this already.
Bandai: Sure, in about 20 years or more so.
Nah at best they just make a metal build out of this, like the GN Arms
Don't diss that HG Freedom. When I was 7 or 8 it is what made me love building and Gunpla. I'd actually be down to getting it again 🤣
0:28 welp can't unsee this now xD
For old stickers wihtout more glue and you dont get a gundam marker y recomend use model kit glue for solve that problem
I wouldnt be surpsised if we see another release of this kit when the movie comes out. I wonder if this is compatible with the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice
does RG justice and/freedom will fit into the HG meteor?
A vote for Red Birthmark, from a guy that couldn't wait for each fansub of SEED to go up.
I’ve seen this this in the wild but whenever i find it i have no money. I also have no where to put this thing
Hopefully the new seed movie is good, want to see this one there xD
How does this compare to the limited edition one from 10ish years ago ?
red birthmark slap hard
This was my first and only model kit that I owned. My dad got me this as the toy to shut me up for asking anything else, and it worked. We even built it together while traveling. Nostalgia hit me in the feels with this one 🥹
Calibarn gundam when? I really want to see you reviews it
I bought mine at release, for the time, yeah great kit. Never realised how bad the old freedom was, I basically repainted mine and did some work on it, that's how I "fixed" it. It just a really old kit, I find the HG freedom still ok. You may not agree, but I hate the IBO HGs more than I hate this old freedom. (feet & waist area are really problematic)
I do have older kits like the old wing kits, the old Gundam G kits, old gundam X kits, my oldest kit is a gundam ZZ, that one is...special. I would say from the ones I own, the old Gundam G kits are the worst of them all. I do prefer gundam seed kits over IBO kits, even the older seed kits. gundam 00 have other issues but they're better and then you got all the newer revives, those are great, but you have newer RGs which are so much better. I don't have any witch kits at home yet, though they most are paid for at HLJ, will ship later.
I have seen quite a lot of HG to EG which are marked as HG, but in truth are EG (looking at you old G-unit kits and HG Endless waltz kits)
The meteor... yeah it needs a lot of work to look good, I painted mine (btw I know you got warhammer, the purple is Genestealer purple). As you said, it's big project to work on, even to this way, I've always wanted to get a second one.
As for the build, hate to say, but you did something wrong, mine closed up correctly, you left something in there in the way. I disassembled mine to paint it a bit.
A couple of things you didn't mention/don't know:
It's quite the solid kit, seriously, I've dropped this kit more than once, it's a brick, parts come off, but no breaking, remember I bought mine at release.
The one part that does break is the top part of the base, it's too small, the unit is too heavy, eventually it broke on me, but it was easily fixed, I re-enforced it though and you don't see it since it locks inside. It is quite stable even 20 years after, it may have plenty of flaws but it's a solid kit, the arms are solid, the missile stuff is weirdly solid even after 20 years.
1 thing I found annoying is how in the anime you can do like 1 beam full left, 1 beam full right, basically beams spread like a double giant beam saber, you can do it here, but it looks odd, not sure how the hell they even did it in the anime, I looked at the anime, couldn't figure it out.
The other fun part is you can take parts off to look like the damaged version from the finale.
A few final things I'll say about bit kits like these which I love, 1 aspect I hate: you gota clean them, dust them off from time to time. It's a big kit, I got it on some furniture, it's too big for my displays. 0 regrets getting it though, it was cheaper at release, it's awesome. It looks way better properly painted up.
Hi can the RG freedom fit?
1:12 use me as a replay button for satisfying moments
Biggest until they bite the bullet and release HG Quiet Zero.
Imho this NEEDS a Metal Build Version just like we NEED a Metal Build Skygrasper. !!! 🙏
Ngl, with all of those overstyled freedoms and strike freedoms lately, seeing this simple freedom with barebone color sceme looks fresh
Which store do you usually use in buyee?
Oh, I got a Meteor alright. But I didn't plan to strap a Freedom to it. There's an FA Girl kitbash in there somewhere. And I'm gonna' find it.
When will we see your customs?
Tbh the 2003 freedom looks kinda cute
PLEASE please say you are gonna do a build video for the Dandrobium because I'd sit down and watch that with popcorn.
the Dendrobium is a awesome kit but there's only one build of it on YT and the guy did a bit of a hack job on it, he didn't properly align some of the core parts so none of the panels on the body fit right
The 2003 freedom was my first gunpla and it already started to fall apart after finishing it.
Since there is a release of hg meteor unit please review it with the infinite justice on it
