Bandai Gunpla Blu-ray "Mighty Edition" Bundle HG 1/144 ZGMF/A-262PD-P Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam [Limited Clear Edition] Review

Hey Gunpla fans! Ever wondered how shiny and fabulous your Strike Freedom Gundam can look? Today, we're diving into the HGCE Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam [Limited Clear Edition], which comes bundled with the Blu-ray Mighty Edition of Gundam SEED FREEDOM. At ¥27,500, it’s a premium package that blends nostalgia and some seriously fancy plastic!

First Impressions: The Box and Contents  

The packaging is straightforward—no fancy new box art here, just a simple design. The manual is borrowed from the regular version, keeping things familiar.  

Here’s what’s in the kit:  

• High-Energy Beam Rifles (left & right)  
• Futsuno Mitama Anti-Ship Sword  
• Akutara Keruta Beam Sabers (2 blades, 1 connector grip)  
• Eglege Beam Shield Effect  
• Disruptor Antenna Parts  
• Flat Hands (left & right)  

Stickers? Yep, you’ll get foil ones for sensors and rifle details, plus plastic ones for the Proud Defender deployment section.

The Star of the Show: Limited Clear Edition Aesthetic  

The Limited Clear Edition jazzes up the standard model with some stellar upgrades:  

• Glittery Clear Plastic: Parts of the armor sparkle with embedded glitter.  
• Metallic Colors: Subtle metallic shades replace the usual light gray tones.  
• Proud Defender Upgrade: Instead of clear white, it now boasts a sleek pearl-white finish.  

Result? A shiny, eye-catching build that stands out while staying true to the Strike Freedom design.

Build Quality: Some Things to Note  

While this kit is based on the standard version, the clear parts make it slightly trickier to assemble. The harder plastic is less forgiving, so take it slow to avoid cracks.  

Key features remain intact:  

• Solid Color Separation: Minimal reliance on stickers—most details come through molded parts.  
• Flexible Joints: Thanks to KPS materials, you’ll enjoy good articulation without the need for polycaps.  

Zooming In: Highlights and Features  

• Head Unit: Glittery goodness! Most parts are color-separated, though a few details (like the close-defense Vulcan barrels) will need painting.  
• Body and Arms: The chest’s red piece uses a tinted-clear black base, making it pop. Arms retain the Eglege Beam Shield generator, which is slightly adjustable.  
• Legs: Glitter-clear parts give a silver-white vibe, avoiding that overly “hollow” look some clear kits suffer from.  

Accessories and Weaponry  

The iconic Strike Freedom armaments are here and ready for action:  

• High-Energy Beam Rifles: Clear black plastic with red and blue sticker accents. They connect seamlessly, just like the standard version.  
• Futsuno Mitama: Its glossy black blade contrasts beautifully against the pearl-white armor.  
• Akutara Keruta Beam Sabers: No glitter here, but they look great nonetheless.  

Playability and Display Options  

The Proud Defender, now with pearl-white and metallic-gray highlights, attaches effortlessly. The wings unfold smoothly, creating a dramatic silhouette that’s perfect for posing. Want a shiny photoshoot? This kit looks amazing under colored lights.  

Summary

The HGCE Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam [Limited Clear Edition] isn’t just a recolor—it’s a glittery spectacle. While assembly is a bit more challenging due to the hard plastic, the dazzling finish is well worth the effort.  

Pros

• Unique glitter-clear and metallic finish  
• Great articulation and build quality  
• Iconic Strike Freedom design, now shinier than ever!  

Cons

• Harder plastic can be tricky to work with  
• Some details are harder to see due to the glittery surface  

If you’re a fan of special editions or just love a sparkling finish, this kit will make a stunning addition to your collection. Ready to let your Gundam shine? This one’s got all the bling you need!
