This kit is the HGCE Strike Freedom Gundam Type 2 & Wing of Light Effect Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Content-wise, it's HGCE Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam's body combined with HGCE Strike Freedom Gundam's wings. On top of that, a newly sculpted Wing of Light and various joint parts have been added.

Essentially, it's an upgrade of the HGCE Strike Freedom's body with new gimmicks, resulting in better articulation and joint strength. For weapons, in addition to the standard armaments from the Mighty Strike Freedom, Type 35 Kai Rail Guns (prototype)two of these are included, and using two new joint parts, Type 35 Kai Rail Guns (prototype)they can be mounted on the rear skirt and side skirts, each in two different positions.

The biggest highlight of this kit is the Wing of Light, which is larger and more impressive than the one from the HGCE Strike Freedom Wing of Light DX Editionthat was previously released through Club G. (I forgot to take a comparison shot — I'll update that later T_T) Iridescent molding has been applied, so it shows off gorgeous rainbow reflections depending on the angle of the light. On top of that, joint parts for displaying the launched Dragoons and backpack joint parts are also included, allowing you to display all 8 Dragoons in their launched state. However, the auxiliary stand needed to connect the Dragoons and backpack joint parts is not included, so you'll need to borrow one from elsewhere.

The best auxiliary stand for displaying the launched Dragoons seems to be the The Witch from Mercury Weapon Display Base— though you'll need three of them to launch all 8 Dragoons at once. That said, the Dragoons themselves aren't exactly lightweight, so getting them to hold firmly in place is harder than you'd expect. Stands that have been used multiple times tend to get loose at the joints, causing the Dragoons to keep drooping downward. In the end, it's best to use brand-new, never-used stand parts if you want to pull off the launched Dragoon pose. It's a display that takes a lot of effort and money, no matter how you look at it.

In the end, the Wing of Light combined with the launched Dragoon pose looks absolutely stunning — but since keeping the Dragoons in place isn't easy, long-term display seems pretty difficult. More than that, just arranging and securing all the launched Dragoons is quite a task in itself, so unless you're a fan who's always dreamed of the full Dragoon launch display, I can't really recommend going that route. Honestly, just attaching the Wing of Light and displaying it that way is probably much better for your sanity.

All in all, this kit offers a generous package — an up-to-date body, an upgraded Wing of Light, and a variety of supplementary parts. If you've always been a fan of this mobile suit, this feels like the ultimate HG Strike Freedom Gundam kit, and it'd be a shame to miss out on it. :-)
