It's nothing to be glad about imo, will DEFINITELY pass for all eternity, that thing will not set 1 plastic foot in this household. As for engineering, i'm assuming it has some similarities to it's 1/60 counterpart.

I'm guessing a lot will be passing on this one. Was hoping for a UC PG, Unicorn, or Nu, or something. At the very least, normal Freedom. Strike Freedom is just stupid. Oh well, I guess Prime92 will be happy

I still don't get why people's reactions are so negative on this one. The lineart looks good and since Katoki's doing it, there can hardly be anything wrong about it. I'm considering to buy this thing once I've gotten better at building Gunpla.

And on the contrary, I believe that this thing is going to sell like hotcakes, SEED DESTINY still is insanely popular in Japan, and that's the market that counts.

This... is a mistake!! I agree that the next PG had to be something from UC!!! Well..., prime92's gonna be happy XDDDD...BUT I'M NOT. Seed has too much PG's for a not so nice series.....Well atleast they made Katoki design it....he mightmake it look even just a little better..

People want to buy model kits of mobile suits they love, especially when they cost as much as a PG these days. The kit must have super, duper engineering before I even consider parting with my money.

What Goomba said, I'll wait until we see how it's engineered.

Not unhappy about it though; was convinced we'd get a 00 recolour. I don't care what anyone says, the SEED designs are generally better than the 00 designs, with Stike Freedom being better than 00 Raiser in my opinion.

Bit disappointed that it wasn't Nu though; I think I'd kind of made myself believe he'd be next. :(

I'm sitting here struggling trying to remember the last time we had a UC timeline PG.

which is upsetting

because UC era is what started gundam, and is what TRUE gundam is.

yet we have.. Strike freedom, 00Raiser, Red Frame Astray, Strike, strike rouge, ail strike, and before that we had GP01. it's been Seven years since GP01. seven years.

wtf bandai.

and then on top of that, you throw at us a gundam, from the worst gundam series in the history of gundam series.

bandai, I am dissapoint.

In the end, it's all about the love for gunpla and mechs right? Can't wait to get mine :) What do you guys think the pre-order "special" parts would be? A stand? Or maybe effect parts? Yays

I'm guessing on effect parts for the wings and the Dragoons. Hopefully we'll see effect parts for the stomach cannon or something too. Kinda disappointed that of all the choices they had, they went with this. Hell, I know destiny is still insanely popular in Japan, but they could have made a PG Impulse or Destiny. I'd have been so much happier. Two designs that I actually love.

its mainly that there are other series that people think need more/a pg. seed/seed destiny has had 3 (4 if you include skygrasper) pg's when there's series like G, V, X, Turn-A e.t.c that have yet to see a few MG's let a lone a PG.

I'm very much on the fence regarding the PG Strike Freedom. I won't get caught up in the hype surrounding this release, and will wait and see how well the inner frame is engineered before making any decisions about possibly getting it.

I would imagine that the PG Strike/Astray frame is going to be re-used for this model.

YES! YES! YES!!!! WOOHooo!! So chuffed it's not a 00 kit I don't care it's Strike Freedom. But to be honest SF is on my top 5 wants as a PG, admittedly its 5th but that's still on the list.

From reading here it's not a popular choice. I liked SEED & Destiny mostly for the music and as a show it's way better then 00 IMO.

As for wanting more UC we got three this year in the "special K"oating editions.

As for Unicron, I'd say a HY2M Unicorn is more lightly... as a complete light up psycho frame would be the way to go with that kit. It doesn't need a inner frame just lots of LEDs!

WTF BANDAI... SRSLY? I'll be on the fence on this release, leaning heavily towards the "not getting it" side. I think price will be the biggest determining factor in my decision. If it's gonna cost close to the same as 00 Raiser, then no, I won't be getting this. And unlike apparently, 99% of everyone here, I don't hate on suits just because they're from a certain series, I like a lot of suits from Seed and Destiny... If I do get this, it'll be custom colour scheme 100%

Surprised no one has mentioned what's missing from that picture... where are the wings? Are they going to be a limited initial release extra! lol :D

Also would like to see this with a gold inner frame, I'm with TC, strike frame reuse would seem a possibility.

They probably couldn't fit on the page.

Besides, this is designed be Hajime Katoki, and since Prime92 is the new Hajime Katoki, THIS WILL BE AWESOME! lol j/k ;)

Perhaps they won't skimp on the gold like they did with the special edition MG; I mean, you could see the non-coated gold parts next to the coated ones. That was shockingly lazy stuff.

It would be awesome if Unicorn got the H2YM treatment, but didn't Bandai scrap that line...?

A completely new inner frame and an impressive set of wings could be enough for me to get this. Considering the amount of plastic and engineering needed to implement the wing gimmick, I would imagine that this model will have a $200+ price tag.

@AdamL316, LOL :D

I don't think they would reuse the Strike inner frame again. Katoki is designing this and I don't think he wants to be restraint by the old frame. The man like his mobile suits to have freakingly long legs and tiny, tiny heads.
