Bandai 1/144 HG ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam

Kira Yamato's Strike Freedom Gundam in HGCE 1/144

The ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam is the Z.A.F.T. mobile suit Kira Yamato pilots in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This is Bandai's HGCE (High Grade Cosmic Era) version, the first time the Strike Freedom was made as an HGCE, released in Japan on 12 November 2016. It is an all-new tool, with no parts reused from the older 2005 HG kit.

It suits SEED Destiny fans, builders who want a wide-winged display piece without a big part count, and anyone who wants the High-Mat Full Burst pose in 1/144.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates it 8 and over, and Japanese reviews describe a straightforward snap-fit build with very little to paint. A few spots (knee ducts and the inside of the back thrusters) can be painted for accuracy if you want to, but reviewers say the colour separation looks right straight off the runner. It is a good HG for newer builders and a quick display build for experienced ones.

Technical highlights

Bandai says improved wing range of motion lets the kit recreate the High-Mat Full Burst Mode. The waist rail guns can swing forward and to the back, and the Super Dragoon wings detach. Reviewers describe wide leg and arm articulation, double-jointed knees and elbows, and a body that is white with dark grey, blue, red and a yellow V-fin, with gold moulded colour for the inner frame and joints.

What makes this kit special

  • High-Mat Full Burst ready: improved wing movement for the signature firing pose.
  • Super Dragoon wings: detachable, per Bandai, and they hold their positions well.
  • Connectable beam rifles: the two high-energy beam rifles can join together.
  • Waist rail guns: they swing forward or back.
  • Gold moulded joints: the inner frame uses gold-coloured parts for the Strike Freedom look.
  • Low sticker count: parts division covers most of the colour work.

What's in the box

  • Two MA-M21KF high-energy beam rifles
  • Two MA-M02G beam sabers (blades and hilts)
  • MX2200 beam shield with clear effect parts
  • Hand parts, including flat hands
  • Marking seal stickers

Compatible accessories

No display base is included. The weight of the wings means a base helps, and Bandai's press images show the kit on an Action Base in its flying poses.

Fast Australian shipping

Dispatched same day from Brisbane if ordered before 2pm AEST on weekdays. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink. Genuine Australian stock in hand, not ordered through an overseas proxy.

What to watch for

  • Rifle colour separation: two reviewers note the high-energy beam rifles need stickers (or paint) for the blue and red lines.
  • Waist rifles can pop off: one reviewer found the rail guns can push the waist-mounted rifles off when the hips open wide.
  • Thin beam saber hilts and antenna: one reviewer found the saber hilts slip in the hands, and that the thin white secondary head antenna needs care.
  • Cockpit hatch: another reviewer noted the cockpit hatch can fall out while posing.
  • Super Dragoons are simple parts: one reviewer found them hollow and a little plain.

Builder tips: a base helps with the rear weight, and a touch of paint or the supplied stickers will finish the beam rifles.

Build notes

Nippers are enough for assembly, and no painting is needed for a good result. Recommended age 8 and over per Bandai.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sets the HGCE Strike Freedom apart?

It is an all-new HGCE kit with improved wing range for the High-Mat Full Burst Mode, detachable Super Dragoons and waist rail guns that move forward and back.

Do I need glue or paint?

No glue. Colour separation is mostly by moulded parts and a few stickers. Reviewers say a little paint on the knee ducts and thruster interiors is optional.

What is included?

Two high-energy beam rifles, two beam sabers, a beam shield with clear effect parts, hand parts and marking stickers.

Is it good for newcomers?

Bandai rates it 8 and over and reviewers describe a straightforward, stable build.

Does it stand on its own?

With the wings spread it can stand, but one reviewer notes the weight sits at the rear, so a display base helps.

MGEX Strike Freedom Golden Week deal

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
