FINAL THOUGHTS: 

Personally, and besides stating the obvious, this is way,  way beyond my level of comprehension and capabilities. It's just too time consuming for the causal collector like myself, even-though the temptation to challenge myself with the enormous (pun intended) task  sometimes does occur in my mind. The pricing discount on the Amiami Japan website, is a life saver to those who intend to buy this humongous, intricate and mind-blowing piece to add to their Perfect Grade collection. While I am strictly a Transformers fan-boy, sometimes the sheer force of all things Japan-inspired really does deserve the dose of attention and admiration it deserves, even though for a short moment. In addition, before I forget, the blog post inspiration was spurred by a little conversation I managed to have today with another GUNDAM enthusiast and colleague. Seems to me personally, he should just forget the niggles and just tackle this monster head on-- lol! --as too, to those how are steely enough and not to mention experienced enough to handle the complexity and all the hardships  associated with  the art of GUNDAM model building! 
Eh, I'll just stick to Robot Spirits or Gundam Fix Figurations, thanks very much!

UPCOMING RELEASES # 04: Robot Damashii- SIDE MS Strike Freedom Gundam!!

9:23 AM in BANDAI JAPAN, Gundam, GUNDAM SEED DESTINY, Limited, ROBOT SPIRITS, STRIKE FREEDOM

Hi there, all! A very warm welcome once again to another mini-blog post of a totally uber-cool release from the Bandai Co. Japan line of super-poseable resin models: Robot Damashii/ Spirits! Judging from the production shots, this will be a very cool representation of the popular Gundam SEED Destiny main Mecha

BASIC INFORMATION:-

Product Name	THE ROBOT SPIRITS -Robot Damashii-  SIDE MS Strike Freedom Gundam from Gundam SEED DESTINY [Bandai]
Item Code	TOY-GDM-1219
Manufacturer	Bandai
Release Date	late Aug-2010
Product Line	THE ROBOT SPIRITS
Original Title	Gundam SEED

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS:-


IMHO, this looks great, and is one of the more accurately made version of the MS Strike Gundam from the Damashii line. Im not really a avid collector of figures, especially Gundams, but this added to the fact that there will be a limited release of the 
super robot's "plasma-energy wings" and display stand, makes it worth the effort to get. This are really neat bonus items which adds an even more completed look and mimics the Animation model to the core. Love anything that uses clear and transparent plastics to achieve the desired effect on a toy! LOL! THE JAPANESE ARE FAMOUSLY KNOW FOR BEING KINDA OBSESSED WITH ANIME ACCURACY...PERHAPS IT'S EMBEDDED IN THEIR CORE CULTURE AND HAS BECOME A STAPLE OR RITUAL SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. I FOR ONE, WONT EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR QUIRK, AS THIS MEANS MORE ADMIRATION AND "EXCUSES" TO ADMIRE AND PURCHASE MORE MECHA! 

FINAL IMPRESSIONS:- 


THE EXTRA DIMENSION OF THE VERY VISUALLY STUNNING WING EFFECTS IS THE MAIN REASON ANYBODY WOULD BE NUTS NOT TO PURCHASE THIS RELEASE! NUFF' SAID! ALTHOUGH IT'S A SHAME BANDAI DECIDED TO GIVE THE AWESOME ADD-ON'S A LIMITED RELEASE, THIS ROBOT SPIRITS MS STRIKE FREEDOM GUNDAM IS A MUST GET FOR FANS AND NON-FANS ALIKE. SCULPT IS EXCELLENT AND HIGH QUALITY RESIN/ ABS PLASTIC. A++
