The latest issue of Hobby Japan has new pictures of the upcoming MG ver 2.0 of the Freedom Gundam.
Voila! Redesign.
Instead of just updating the old design with new technology (or maybe even using the more recent Real Grade design which was pretty good IMHO), Bandai gave the famous Gundam of Jesus – er – Kira Yamato a face-lift.
First off, the wings don’t just look different, they ARE different. Down to the wing cannons that now open-up. That beam rfile also looks different, and the kit itself seems to be really detailed. So detailed that my plans to switch to RGs has just hit a snag.
I don’t even have an idea of how this will work. But it was a cool idea nonetheless. As is the added panel lines and detailing.
I believe this kit will use the X-Frame like the GAT boys which is good, because it’s one of the most stable frames around (and a joy to put together). Hopefully we get to see an MG Justice too.
