This kit is 1000% fantastic. Excellent color separation, posing, and silhouette. I did actually was get a few 3rd party accessories, that being the v-fins as well as the wing effect parts. In terms of color separation, this kit does still have a few color issues. The Disruptor is the worst offense simply because its details are pretty small, but it has easy to paint colors. The beam rifles are lacking their blue and red, however the sight section is color separated. The Proud Defender needs red, light gray, and black on the front intake below the cockpit section as well as the blue at the tail end. If they can be considered, the pink sections on the wings as well. However, those are reproduced by those special plastic stickers that are thicker than usual. On the main body, the Vulcan guns, the inside of the knee vents, and the gray sections on the feet require paint. Plus, the pommel on the Futsunomitama requires gold. After the color issues, the posing on this kit is fantastic. Subtle balljoints in the forearms produces a double wrist joint, allowing for fantastic arm poses when paired with the Seed Action System. The legs have a dropping mechanism that is a little annoying to use sometimes compared to the dropping mechanisms from the Rising Freedom, but it's bearable. The Mighty Strike Freedom is a 10/10 and it pairs perfectly well with the Infinite Justice Type II and Destiny Spec II. Plus it makes for a good Vs with the Cal-Re.A.

Truly a wonderful build, the proud defender’s stickers have an incredible shine to it, and paired with the katana, this gundam can make poses similar to the lord and savior himself. It’s only flaw is bandai not making a mg version of this suit!!

Not the biggest fan of the Strike Freedom, but this design got me head over heels. I thought the gold inner frame with the original was a bit gaudy, but with the Proud Defender, the gold becomes a really awesome accent to the whole kit. This is a Freedom kit, so it does have quite a lot of color correcting stickers, but they really work with the kit, making it able to pull of some aura-farming poses.
