Frame and armor separated

Weapons loadout

The rifle can be stored on the rear skirt.

Like previous kits, you can rotate the eyes to get 2 different expressions.

Articulation is the typical stiff SD-style movement.

Freedom's signature wing and rail gun articulation is also reproduced.

Freedom Gundam is the 8th kit in the SD Cross Silhouette lineup. The basic format is the same as previous kits — you can swap in the separately sold CS Frame to transform the proportions beyond what the included standard frame offers. Even with the standard frame, it already looks slimmer than the BB Senshi Freedom Gundam.

The base body's articulation shows that typical SD stiffness, but the wings, rail guns, and cannon deployment gimmicks are all faithfully reproduced, making Freedom's signature flashy poses totally doable. Swapping to the CS Frame gives you even sleeker proportions, though beyond the longer limbs, the dynamic effect from the added elbow and knee joints feels a bit less impressive than you might expect.

Either way, it stays true to the SDCS format while delivering a clean, quality feel — so if you're a Freedom Gundam fan, this is definitely a kit worth recommending. :-)
