RG vs HG !! Strike Freedom Gundam 

I've built it a couple months ago and it's quite satisfying except the tiny metallic stickers and etching metallic parts that were a pain for me but got through it.

@@xxraverxxonxtacy I can imagine building the MGEX must be quite an experience, I am very patient as you can tell from my other videos that I take my time to polish my Gundam Models a lot, so building the MGEX will definitely take me a while. I will schedule to build the MGEX later this year, right now I'm building something else, you will get to see what it is in my next video. The video is currently under editing, and will be available on my channel pretty soon. Keep an eye on it, I think you will like it too. 😊👍🏼

Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching my video. You are right about the RG, although it is more detailed, the proportion of the body is slightly different to the HG. The HG has the body shape like the Ver.Ka. Another thing about the RG is that it is very detailed with the colour separation, but the backpack is a lot heavier than the HG backpack, so it struggles to stand up straight, but propping it on a display stand will resolve the issue. With the Advanced MS inner frame, the RG is just too floppy comparing to the HG. My HG can stand on its own feet without any support regardless whether the backpack is opened or not. I also find the RG required a lot more effort in polishing and cleaning up nubs in order to look good, the HG is a lot easier. It is fair to say the RG really did test my patience. I can imagine your HG must look really good with all the additional painting, nice work! I hope Bandai will release a RG Strike Freedom 2.0 soon to fix up the Advanced MS joints. The more recent released of RG are great though, as they do not have the early RG syndrome, and they are all pretty firm in terms of their joints, like the RG Tallgeese, RG Zeong, RG Nu Gundam, RG Hi-Nu Gundam and RG Sazabi, they are all very top class RG model kits. I can't wait to buy the soon to be released RG RX-78-2 2.0, it looks so good comparing to the last one, and it also has a lot more details on the inner body frame. Really looking forward to the release and will definitely get one. 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 You're right that the RG SF really test the patience! Mine is also more floppy than the HG (I also have the RG Freedom & Justice, and they all seem to share the exact same pre-molded inner frames which really explains why), at least it's not that bad compared to Zeta or Sinanju, but definitely worst than a few later kits (despite also beeing early RGs) like Wing/Zero EW or 00 series, let alone the even newer ones as you mentioned lol I hope so, about Bandai releasing the 2.0 for other early kits, like what they will do with Granpa 2.0. The early RGs even though are not as stable as the new mini MGs, I still think they are worth collecting, mostly because they are unique (both good and bad), beautiful to look at (minus the proportion issue), and really helped me to enhance my skill through the years haha (man I hate Zeta, but it's absolutely the best looking version, even better than MG 2.0 or ver Ka IMO), so that's why I still keep collecting them, till this day. Really appreciate your review (and love) for these older ones! Looking forward to see more of your videos in the future!

@nguyenx86 thank you do much for your support, it is much appreciated. I think the more recent RG are great as they are more robust, the earlier ones though, a little sloppy, but we would always glue the joints to make it a fixed model. We appreciate the shape and the details more than anything, it is not like we would pick it up and play with it and twisting all the arms and legs all the time. To me, I don't mind gluing everything, as once they are built, they are display pieces, more like art works than toys that you play around with. So whichever ones they are, they definitely have their values. Just my personal preference that I like those with a lot of details, as eveeytime I look at it, it would give me something to look at and to appreciate the details and design. 😊👍🏼
