Its sibling unit, the Infinite Justice Gundam, was reviewed much earlier. In comparison, while Infinite Justice feels less bulky than the Justice Gundam, it offers a greater sense of agility.
The Justice Gundam features a slightly darker color scheme, with a deep red that almost evokes a melancholic feel.
Its articulation is comparable to the Freedom Gundam, fitting for these sister units.
They look great together, a perfect match!
Over the years, I've grown to prefer the Justice. Its more frequent and dynamic combat scenes in the anime have often served as key references for my photography poses.
Its basic armaments include the Beam Rifle.
The Beam Sabers are also included. Notably, Justice's beam saber hilts are slightly longer than Freedom's.
The Lacquerta Beam Boomerangs are mounted on the shoulders. It's a minor disappointment that the figure can't quite replicate the iconic pose of the left hand reaching to retrieve a boomerang from the right shoulder – achieving that level of articulation would be truly astounding.
The Fatum-00 backpack's wings can spread wide, creating a truly imposing silhouette.
The Fatum-00 can also be raised, though care must be taken with the head's V-fin during this transformation. Once elevated, however, the head's articulation becomes almost non-existent due to obstructions on both sides.
The Fatum-00's wings themselves offer a good range of motion, allowing for more dynamic and expressive posing.
Justice can stand atop the Fatum-00 in its flight mode. While foot pegs are provided for stability, attaching and detaching them can be quite a hassle.
Overall, the Justice Gundam offers a more satisfying handling experience compared to the Freedom. Freedom's wings, in particular, often prove to be quite cumbersome during posing.
