MG Strike Freedom Gundam ~ an easy choice, being the defining figure throughout the Seed & Seed Destiny Series, my introductory foray into the Gundam universe. One of the best looking Gundam ever, with that magnificient wingspan just adds to the profound visual impact it conjures. MG (master grade) kit ~ coz it's a bang for the buck: impressive articulation with the inner frame construction, very detailed parts, color coded pieces (decent enough for me, no need to go over the top with airbrushing /painting yet; coz it would be my 1st MG kit) ~ comparable to the much more exorbitantly priced Perfect Grade kit; just a tad smaller at 1/100 scale compared to massive 1/60 & yet enough parts for the to assemble to keep me pre-occupied & happy. Chose the MG Full Burst Mode over the conventional type, (though costing near 50% more) ~ the special gold coat parts & the full burst mode effect bowled me over.... Considering the prices of these MG kit, one can only expect the best. Have yet to be dissapointed so far...
