(tentative)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHG 1\/144 Strike Freedom Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO Ver.\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003eBandai Spirits\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a new representation of the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/strong\u003e as it appears in \u003cstrong\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO\u003c\/strong\u003e. Piloted by \u003cstrong\u003eKira Yamato\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Strike Freedom holds a central place in this prequel that directly bridges the events of \u003cstrong\u003eGundam SEED DESTINY\u003c\/strong\u003e and those of \u003cstrong\u003eGundam SEED FREEDOM\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn SEED FREEDOM ZERO, the Strike Freedom Gundam is transferred to the \u003cstrong\u003eprovisional COMPASS base located on Onogoro Island\u003c\/strong\u003e. The goal is to extract data from this exceptional machine to contribute to the development of new Mobile Suits. However, the Strike Freedom is stolen under mysterious circumstances, triggering one of the major events in the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe SEED FREEDOM ZERO Strike Freedom in a new HG version\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition has been specially developed to reproduce the Strike Freedom Gundam as it appears in \u003cstrong\u003eSEED FREEDOM ZERO\u003c\/strong\u003e. For this model, Bandai Spirits adopts the \u003cstrong\u003eSEED Action System\u003c\/strong\u003e, a joint design used in recent HGs from the Gundam SEED saga to achieve more natural and dynamic poses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit's structure has also been designed around the \u003cstrong\u003eiconic poses of the Strike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is intended to make it easier to recreate the highly recognizable gestures of Kira Yamato's machine, particularly during combat scenes using multiple weapons simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSEED Action System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSEED Action System\u003c\/strong\u003e aims to combine a wide range of articulation with the slender silhouette characteristic of Gundam SEED Mobile Suits. For this version of the Strike Freedom, Bandai Spirits specifically announces a structure that allows for the reproduction of the characteristic poses seen on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis evolution is particularly interesting for a machine like the Strike Freedom, whose design relies heavily on aerial poses, wide-open movements, and the simultaneous use of multiple pieces of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Beam Rifles included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes the \u003cstrong\u003etwo Beam Rifles\u003c\/strong\u003e iconic to the Strike Freedom Gundam. They can be used simultaneously to reproduce its characteristic firing configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of both rifles is particularly important for maintaining the visual identity of the ZGMF-X20A, whose combat style relies significantly on the combined use of multiple long-range weapon systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBeam Sabers with gradient effect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the new features highlighted by Bandai Spirits concerns the \u003cstrong\u003eBeam Saber effects\u003c\/strong\u003e. These use a \u003cstrong\u003egradient molding\u003c\/strong\u003e intended to directly reproduce a color variation within the clear part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis process adds more depth to the energy blades than a classic monochrome effect and allows for a more spectacular finish without the need for additional paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe legendary ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eStrike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ultimate evolution of the Freedom line used by Kira Yamato before the arrival of the Strike Freedom Gundam Type II. It is powered by the powerful \u003cstrong\u003eHyper-Deuterion\u003c\/strong\u003e system, which combines a nuclear engine with the Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine is most recognizable by its imposing winged dorsal system and its extremely versatile arsenal. Its golden design visible on the internal structure, combined with its white, blue, and red armor, makes it one of the most iconic Mobile Suits in the entire Gundam SEED saga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis SEED FREEDOM ZERO version thus represents the Strike Freedom during a particularly important period in its history, before the modifications that would later lead to the \u003cstrong\u003eStrike Freedom Gundam Type II\u003c\/strong\u003e and then the \u003cstrong\u003eMighty Strike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn essential version for the SEED FREEDOM timeline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSEED FREEDOM ZERO takes place after the fall of the Destiny Plan and during the period of \u003cstrong\u003eCOMPASS\u003c\/strong\u003e's creation. The Strike Freedom used by Kira during previous conflicts thus becomes a source of data for the development of new machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts role in this story serves as a link between the original \u003cstrong\u003eZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom\u003c\/strong\u003e and the more recent Mobile Suits seen in Gundam SEED FREEDOM, giving this version special interest for collectors wishing to follow the chronological evolution of Kira Yamato's machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications of the HG Strike Freedom Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO Ver.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLicense:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Grade (HG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersion:\u003c\/strong\u003e SEED FREEDOM ZERO Ver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kira Yamato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganization:\u003c\/strong\u003e associated with COMPASS during the events of SEED FREEDOM ZERO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bandai Spirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulation system:\u003c\/strong\u003e SEED Action System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e structure optimized to reproduce the Strike Freedom's iconic poses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmament included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beam Rifles x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMelee combat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beam Sabers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeam Saber effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e gradient molding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e set of hand parts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e stickers included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnnounced Japanese release:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 2027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap-Fit, no glue required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCurrently confirmed contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHG 1\/144 Strike Freedom Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO Ver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Rifle x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Sabers x1 set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHand parts x1 set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStickers x1 sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe product name is still provisional and Bandai Spirits has announced that additional information regarding the kit will be unveiled at a later date.
