BANDAI SPIRITS Company's HOBBY Division in Japan today announced the latest product from the theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM", the "SD GUNDAM EX-STANDARD Rising Freedom Gundam", from the SD Gundam model kit series 『SD GUNDAM EX-STANDARD』, scheduled for release on January 26, 2024.
The new mobile suit appearing in the theatrical film, the Rising Freedom Gundam, is a mobile suit designed by the neutral nation Orb, based on data from the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam and incorporating the transformation mechanism of the MVF-M11C Murasame. It shares the same frame design as the Immortal Justice Gundam, features an all-around monitor cockpit, and its exterior armor is equipped with a VPS armor system, numerous long-range armaments, and an MA transformation mechanism resembling a fighter jet. The overall design omits the "Super DRAGOON" mobile weapon wings used as funnels, making it closer to the Freedom Gundam manufactured in C.E. 71.
The "SD GUNDAM EX-STANDARD Rising Freedom Gundam" is redesigned into an SD proportion of approximately 2.5 head-heights based on its in-story appearance. In line with the series' style, the overall model does not feature many color separations or separate parts, requiring most colors to be painted by the user for accurate reproduction, and there are quite a few parts with visible hollows. Armaments include a beam rifle, beam saber, and shield, which can be equipped. By replacing some parts, the MA form can be reproduced. Furthermore, this product can link with separately sold HG series Gunpla, such as the "HG 1/144 Rising Freedom Gundam", allowing the backpack and rifle to be combined into an original weapon for equipment.
