Not a fan of the colors for Freedom, but that Justice is looking pretty slick in blue
ReplyDeleteNow, THESE are the types of kits that should be P-Bandai. But with what they've been doing lately, you never know.
ReplyDeleteIf by some chance these end up being retail releases, I'm not gonna lie: I'll be more than just a little annoyed.
I would be pretty happy if the guns on the wings were like the art. I didn't really like the super pointy, multi fin, extendo cannon.
ReplyDeleteA part of me wonders why Bandai doesn't make Real Type colors for all the other main Gundams and mobile suits, like a Real Type Color Gundam Exia or God Gundam. I understand that the Freedom and Justice Gundams are getting special treatment because it's Gundam Seed's anniversary, but I'd like to see it for the other Gundams.
ReplyDeleteI change my earlier statement. The Freedom looks much better in physical form and the Justice doesn't look as good now.
