Bandai Gunpla HGCE ZGMF-X191M2 Infinity Justice Gundam Type II Review

From the movie "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM," the Infinity Justice Gundam Type II has been newly released in HGCE format. Priced at 3,080 yen, this kit includes an array of accessories such as a High-Energy Beam Rifle, Beam Carry Shield, Beam Shield Effect, Grapple Stinger Wire, Beam Saber Actuta Rakelta Blades, a left hand, Spitzschwert Beam Horn Effect, Shining Edge Beam Boomerang Effect, Tonitrus Beam Heavy Slash Leg Effects, and Beam Ryza Slasher Mode Effects.

Design and Build

Detailed Additions

The Infinity Justice Gundam Type II incorporates elements from its predecessor, Infinite Justice, with notable additions like the M2X32E Forrantes pack, reminiscent of the Star Wars X-Wing. This pack features foldable wings and adds significant volume and weight to the model. Despite this, the model remains capable of standing independently, though a stand is recommended for long-term display.

Structural Enhancements

This latest kit from the SEED FREEDOM series boasts intricate construction, with all joints composed of KPS material instead of polycaps or ABS. The color separation is also finely detailed, minimizing the need for stickers. The structure includes intricate separations for parts like the wing edges and red lines, ensuring accurate color representation.

Visual Comparison

Head and Body Details

Upon close inspection, the head and body of the Infinity Justice Gundam Type II display distinct differences from the original Infinite Justice. The "Sagittarius 20mm CIWS" is now mounted on the temple, and the head sensor has been replaced with the "MMI-GAU4 Spitzschwert Beam Horn." The torso design also features sharper edges and modified details like the absence of thin green lines.

Arm and Shoulder Configuration

The arms retain a similar design to the original but with minor differences in molding, especially around the elbows. The shoulder armor now includes additional armor in the center, and the division of parts ensures minimal seam lines.

Leg and Hip Articulation

The hips of the new model come with inner reinforcements on the front armor, unlike the previous version. The new design allows the hip joints to swing open without adjusting the rear armor, facilitating easier posing. The knee joints now include a lateral swing mechanism, enhancing the flexibility for dynamic poses.

Accessories and Weaponry

Forrantes Pack

The Forrantes pack, capable of independent flight, includes details like the "MA-M50E3F High-Energy Long-Range Beam Cannon" and the "AIM-1913D Autonomous Guided Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile Scorpio." The wings can switch to the "MA-R259 Beam Ryza/Gun Mode" with beam effect parts, maintaining the kit's impressive array of weaponry.

High-Energy Beam Rifle and Beam Carry Shield

The kit also features the "MA-M1911 High-Energy Beam Rifle," with a new runner but familiar design and movable scope. The "MX2002 Beam Carry Shield" incorporates separate yellow parts for improved color separation and includes various gimmicks for interactive play.

Beam Saber and Tonitrus Beam Heavy Slash Leg Effects

The "MA-M03D Beam Saber Actuta Rakelta" allows for seamless blade attachment, and the "MMI-S1M7 Tonitrus Beam Heavy Slash Leg" effects are carried over from the Infinite Justice, enhancing the versatility of poses.

Summary

The HGCE ZGMF-X191M2 Infinity Justice Gundam Type II offers a significant upgrade from its predecessor, with new design elements, detailed weaponry, and enhanced articulation. Its unique features, like the X-shaped Forrantes wings and comprehensive weapon effects, make it a standout addition to the SEED FREEDOM series.
