1/144 Real Grade Freedom

ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam is now available in Real Grade Quality!
It is released on November 2011 at the cost of ¥2,500!
"The Real Grade (RG) line of Gunpla is a new line released by Bandai and was introduced as part of the Gundam 30th Anniversary commemoration project. The RG line combines the best aspects of the other three Gunpla lines: The small size and affordable prices of the High Grade, the advanced inner frame technology of the Master Grade and the massive part count of the Perfect Grade. The RG line is known for the Advanced MS Joint where the inner frame of the suit is placed on a single gate for easy construction. The tagline for the Real Grade line is "Excitement Embodied." - Gundam Wiki
 This product is purchasable at any major departmental stores.


The Real Grade line incorporates Master Grade Technology, giving the Advanced MS Joint!
Advanced MS Joint is the inner frame of the new revolutionary line of Gunpla!



Inside the box, you can find:
Manual
Plates'A' and 'B'
Plate 'B' contains the
advanced MS joint!
Which is made of soft ABS plastic!
Seals, Plates'D' and 'G'










Plate 'C' and 'SB1' round type beam sabers
and seals


Plates'F1' and 'E1'

Plates'F2' and 'E2'




















In total, there are 5 bag of plates containing highly detailed plastic!

Once built, these are what you can expect to have...
1. Head Unit
2. Chest Unit

3. Hip Unit
4. A set of Wings

6. A pair of arms
5. A pair of legs
7. Beam Rifle
8. Beam Sabers
9. Shield


With advance injection molding technology, Bandai is able to produce RG freedom with color applications similar to the anime series just with plastic pieces alone! No extra seals to compensate for the missing color application unlike HighGrade models!

Here are pictures to show the Advanced MS Joint of the Freedom Gundam!






Each of part of this kit is made to have very good articulation!
This kit also contains manipulators that have articulation as well, similar to its MasterGrade counterpart.

Personally as a gunpla fan, I would highly recommend this kit as I had a lot of fun building it!

Although it is an excellent kit, but it also have its flaws.
As the kit itself is made out of many tiny pieces of plastic, it is very easy to accidentally lose these pieces. 
I also find that the kit is quite fragile as compared to a HighGrade quality kit.
So do handle with care!
