HG Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom Rouge - Together with the HG Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom from the Build Breakers Battlogue

Together with the HG Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom from the Build Breakers Battlogue series.

This kit is the HG Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom Rouge released as part of the Gundam Build Metaverse series. It's a molded color variation of the HG Gundam Perfect Strike Freedomfrom the Build Breakers Battlogue series, with no new sculpting whatsoever — just a straight color variant kit.

So naturally, all the features and included parts are identical to the original. For this review, you really just need to pay attention to the changed molded colors. Overall it shows the clean, polished quality you'd expect from an HGCE-level kit, and still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength. One big plus is how well it holds poses even with all that gear hanging off it. The backpack is big and heavy, but it can double as a support stand of sorts, so standing it upright isn't really a problem.

Sure, being just a color variant means there's not much new to offer, but the look is sharp and the build quality is solid — so if the style appeals to you, this seems like a kit that's well worth the fun of putting together. :-)
