Seed was always good at paying homage to UC while doing its own thing.... Although ZAFT going away from Ginns,Cgues and Guaiz at the end of seed kinda sucks- they had their own designs and traded those away for these "millennium series" throw backs
@@MatanumiThe throwback/piggy back/lazy designs are the CE's Turn A markers. I would also agree ZAFTcould have had some original development progressions like the other factions in CE.
@@kaitoyuki maybe the fact that they straight up use zaku IIs and Kapool/Capules (or possibly replicas of them) due to finding them buried in the ground
5:42 that Gyan in art work using atmosphere backpack while in model kit use space backpack. If you want the atmosphere backpack, you should wait for Hilda's version of Gyan. Hilda's version use atmosphere backpack.
The beam axe looks similar to the type that the Slash Zaku Phantom had, obviously a new mold though. And like the Gelgoog Menace, the Gyan's back looks like it can accept Wizard Packs.
God I love that shield. A shield with people is as much a weapon as a sword, and Gundam does have melee shields (built in beam claws,el etc) but the beam around the rim means it can actually do a shield bash and do real damage.
the best part is how it makes like a design that fits the seed universe. the irony is, this looks like a far better implementation to what the age 1 titus tried to do, but without looking goofy. it really feels like an evolution of the beam boomerang, with the throwable shield of the rising freedom or immortal justice.
The lineart shown is with the atmospheric pack (included with the HG Gelgoog Menace), while the HG Gyan Strom includes the space pack. You can swap the backpacks and have Lunamaria's Gelgoog Menace when Hilda uses it in space. The 2 suits canonically share a bunch of weapons (Lunamaria's Gelgoog with the extended barrel version of the rifle, Agne's Gyan with the normal version) and feature similar construction as complementary next-gen suits, so it's nice to see that reflected in the kits. The Seed Freedom kits have among the highest parts counts for regular HGs and certainly don't skimp on the actual amount of colored plastic. If you focus on the degree of color separation it does have, then it surpasses that of G-Witch HGs. It's only when you focus on what colors are missing compared to the overdesigned line art that you start to think of them as "lacking" color separation. By that logic, Bandai could just as easily design a mobile suit in a single color and have a perfectly color-accurate kit. Is that what people actually want? Personally, I don't even like how the proper wing trim colors look on the 2 versions of the bolelo pack. It's too busy and doesn't feel realistic/doesn't seem to serve a purpose in-universe.
Gyan Strom and Cal-re.A gotta be 2 of my favorite non Gundam from the movie. Except the funny name Bolero backpack, this is a really solid design and a worthy update for the old school Gyan. M'Quve would be proud
i really liked the duel blitz. hands down my favorite new suit. the gyan is ALMOST perfect, but i was never a fan of the pointy head. outside ofthat, the shield is just gorgeous. i love how they modernized it. really feel like a worthy upgrade. and genuinely looks like a far better implementation of that idiotic gundam age 1 titus nonsense into a functional design.
I hated the character piloting it, but this GYAN Strom is easily one of the movie's better designs, alongside the Z'GOK disguise for Athrun's Infinite Justice upgrade.
I don't buy HG kits anymore, but if they end up releasing a standalone weapons pack with that shield, I would consider picking that up. Cool accessory.
this kit comes with so many cool stuff, its worthy just for them alone. specially that shield. the beam halberd is always a great weapon for any mech you throw it on and the same can be said about its gyan classic beam saber.
If you want a another good posing Gyan jut you should try to get ahold of a revive Gyan kit, although old it's a kit that can hold itself REALLY well for today standards
Too bad that ball joint is nested in a part that has a seam... which is in turn nested in another part with a seam. 2024 and Bandai still cuts corners all over the place. They did a great job in avoiding seams in the weapons, even the rifle only has a few spots that aren't incorporated as panel lines. That layered shoulder is just cheap lazy design.
IMO you should just put the stickers on.. i mean if you're not really painting it at least? is it really better than showing it like this? Idk.. i have a couple of seed kits and it the end is worth it imo. Of course i would rather paint them if i could..
I personally used a yellow beam for the saber/rapier. Feels more appropriate for a Gyan derivative. Also, I was interested in this the moment I saw it in the trailer.
@@marcosdheleno Yep! How its beam field basically turns it into a buzzsaw! And this is not the first time I've seen an energy buzzsaw shield. That would go to that Dukemon/Gallantmon Amplified kit.
4:18 I mean.... what do you expect? This is them saving major money while selling popularity.... At least these kits move much better and have tons of accessories. I'm cheesed that these cost closer to 30 bucks for an HG now though.... 20 makes more sense
The size of the box for this and the Gelgoog Menace is as big as a basic MG box like the MG Exia, Jesta, Age-1, etc. and there's no empty space or anything. You're getting your money's worth in terms of plastic content.
Very much enjoy the 'unironic cool' factor of this. Would've liked it to be darker grey instead of the... cream? Extremely light grey? Would've liked the blue to be more steely as well, but it's okay. Fun stuff, especially with the equipment!
these seed freedom kits look great but 30€ for a normal sized hg hurts..... rgs used to be 25€/$ and while these are premium hgs i dont see why they're so much more expensive. They dont even include a simple stand or marking seals like some other premium hgs like the origin line.... :
why no seed backpack fashion show? like strike or gelgoog menace? They use the same backpack connector system lol! *It a shame this dude only know the standard backpack fashion show* 🤦
And they literally used both in the movie lol. The Gelgoogs and Gyans all used the atmospheric pack in the first few sorties and then Hilda equipped Luna's Gelgoog with the standard colored-space pack once she inherits it and sorties in space (ditto for Agnes in her Gyan). We're getting a P-Bandai of Hilda's Gyan Strom with the atmospheric pack... It would be really funny to see a P-Bandai of Luna's Gelgoog with the space pack dubbed "Gelgoog Menace (Lunamaria Hawke Custom) (Hilda Harken Use)" lol
I just picked this one up from my local con this past weekend as my first model, and I really like it! Fell in love with the axe and shield combo. I decided to go with the Eclipse next after watching anther of your vids, just waiting for it to arrive. I was okay with the stickers except for the smallest ones that go into the missile pods on the backpack and the eye one, those are just too finicky to get done well and i didn't bother.
You know, I don't get why putting on stickers is seen as a such a chore. Here, they seem pretty easy to put. And overall, I can't remember High Grades setting up such a standard of parts/color separation before.
it is still strange that SEED Destiny all of a sudden ZAFT named their Mobile Suits after Universal Century Zeon units while other Gundam alternate universes at best only has the same model number but not the actual MS's name.
The head has a notch on its back that allows you to get a good grip on it. The real limitation to its posing is the collar which gets in the way a lot.
Please stop playing anime in the background. It's very distracting. I found myself trying to figure out what episode of Zeta that as more than watching the model.
Dont care what anyone else says, I fuckin love the design of the gyan strom its so cool! Seeing that beyblade shield in the movie in action was pretty sick.
I'd say that the Michaelis works better as an updated Gyan than this does. One of the distinctive design aspects of the Gyan was how rounded many parts of it were, and this suit has none of that. If it weren't for the visor shape I'd never have even considered this to be a Gyan.
I was so looking forward to the gyan storm (THAT SHIELD) but after finding out the pilot was basically flay pt 2 I said screw it, used some leftover hgbd ogre gnx shoulder and kampfer chain mines, and made my own wired beam chakram shield
booby gatlings, a weapon to surpass metal gear.
i can imagine an austin powers fan making a custom of this suit 💀
the only weapon for the pick me girl of CE
Best comment
But no weapon have surpassed the Metal Gear, yet...
I already did@@a.p.studios8713
Ahh yes, the mobile suit piloted by Flay Allster 2: Electric Boogaloo
Come on bro, don't do Flay dirty like that.
Agnus is more a Quess 2.0 anyway.
Agnes is Quess 2.0 not Flay 2.0
Flay actually has some character development.
Get ready for it to go on sale like the Michaelis
@@MasterSwo-MKbecuz same voice of flay
Flay is atleast understandable why she become like that
Man, looking forward to the Sasaki siblings cooking something up for this Gyan.
I have to agree. Can't wait to see what they have got planning something cool for this Cosmic Era Gyan variant.
Honestly, I can see it being customized as a wizard like MS. The Gyalin.
Well the Build universe's game Gundam Breaker 4 has to sell well to justify another Build series after Metaverse's poor reception.
I just enjoy seeing a modern HG CE beam axe
seed freedom kit while the background is Zeta. And the original design is from 0079.

Or you can just use gelogoog menace backpack instead
Hilda's Gyan Strom is pb. so sad
"Machinegun jublies, how did I miss those?" - Austin Powers
This thing definitely gives off some escaflowne vibes
i feel silly for saying this but.......
erhm... actually its Gyan Strom 🤓
Honestly, the only sticker I'd consider a "Must use" here would be the red ones.
Beyond that, it looks perfectly fine OOB, so I'll be going that way.
The beam axe looks similar to the type that the Slash Zaku Phantom had, obviously a new mold though. And like the Gelgoog Menace, the Gyan's back looks like it can accept Wizard Packs.
Slight correction: It's The OG "Zeon" Knight Reimagined!

cool, this hg seed line is really on another level of design
so does this mean that this is the first female gyan since it looks quite feminine (besides the bf designs) because it was piloted by Agnes
no, technically, the build series did the female gyan first.
The lineart shown is with the atmospheric pack (included with the HG Gelgoog Menace), while the HG Gyan Strom includes the space pack. You can swap the backpacks and have Lunamaria's Gelgoog Menace when Hilda uses it in space.

I know it's minor, but it's actually Strom, not Storm.
Mine will arrived in next 3 weeks.. Cannot wait for this
I need a MG of this kit! Please Bandai PLEASE.
Ah yes the suit piloted by the worst character in the movie😆😆
When you gonna build the Avatar Fumina?
11:54 is this me or that beam sword handle looks like a -17th century soup ladle- toilet plunger
You can duel it with Shenlong Gundam with a Frisbee-shield throw match! 😋
Just saying, the illustration you compared for accuracy, was comparing the atmospheric pack drawing, not the space pack, which the kit uses
Just want to mention I'm pretty sure the kit uses the Space pack and the image you showed was the Flight pack so the grey is inaccurate
Machine gun jublies, austin powers must be proud.
I don't buy HG kits anymore, but if they end up releasing a standalone weapons pack with that shield, I would consider picking that up. Cool accessory.

I wait with excitation the mighty strike freedom
Happy to see the HG Penelope again used for size comparisons. Hahahahaha
If you want a another good posing Gyan jut you should try to get ahold of a revive Gyan kit, although old it's a kit that can hold itself REALLY well for today standards
I just might wait and pay for the P-Bandai Hilda version. That's how much I hate Agnes.
Did enyone else had Quess vibes from Agnes? Because I did
To me, more like Flay 2.0 (same VA as well...)
a platinum tier kit coming from a platinum tier movie nothing better than that
Why storm but in the box it says strom whats the real one( I havent watch the movie so maybe its my mistake too sorry)
I think Strom as in Maelstrom
Very nice looking. Hope they put these out in MG.
Is that Cyclonus from The Transformers: The Movie (1986)?!!????!!!!
Man I love the Gyan line
This seed freedom line is literally making the sticker as an useless thing(unless for the head camera) since they looks better with no sticker instead
it really depend, on the mighty freedom, the pink stikers for the inside of the wings look amazing when put on.
I feel like this seed line are purposely color inaccurate to prevent them from being too perfect.
I'm glad that this kit uses a more standard shoulder ball joint.
Too bad that ball joint is nested in a part that has a seam... which is in turn nested in another part with a seam. 2024 and Bandai still cuts corners all over the place. They did a great job in avoiding seams in the weapons, even the rifle only has a few spots that aren't incorporated as panel lines. That layered shoulder is just cheap lazy design.

Cmon Bandai, new movie, give us some new master grades to go along with it!
Or at least some new full mechanics kits...
I'm losing it here man.
the backpack look kinda plain if you didn't use the sticker lol 🤦 *better use the given stickers lol than wasting it!!!*
Rambal Ral, "This is no [robot], boy! No [robot]!" 😂
There's a gonna be Zeon fans that would paint it in M'quve colors, right?
Its a rotary machine gun......
Go
BRAP BRAP BRAP WAPAPAPAPAPAAPAPA!
I wish this suit never reminded me about the existence of Agnes. Such a horrible character..
Can you please review hguc gyan please triple double pretty please 🥺
Gelgoog and gyan is so underrated. Just because they are not the main character

Bro plss review HGCE Strike Freedom
Very much enjoy the 'unironic cool' factor of this. Would've liked it to be darker grey instead of the... cream? Extremely light grey? Would've liked the blue to be more steely as well, but it's okay.
Fun stuff, especially with the equipment!
You might know already but there will be a P Bandai version with darker grey I think
@@armandocalleta3710 I didn't, thanks.
what a divisive suit
Maybe the Transformers fan of me but I get the impression of Cyclonus from this. Which saying I could see doing a custom version
It's St-R-om, not Storm
They remade Zaku, Gelgoog, Dom, Zgok and Gyan.
Where is muh Zock's, Gogg's and Acguys? Y'all coordinators scared of getting a bit wet?
good looking kit for something piloted by an even shittier less justified version of flay
Too bad, this is what you get

Design wise this feels a lot like "If ZAFT built a gundam, but didn't copy the design aesthetics of the original G-Weapons"
We are now all awaiting for the Destiny Spec II + Zeus Silhouette. Hoping they also corrected the few concerns of the original HG Destiny.

What a coincidence I’m about to build my universal century Gyan from the original Gundam
Love the ms, but screw the pilot tho
it is still strange that SEED Destiny all of a sudden ZAFT named their Mobile Suits after Universal Century Zeon units while other Gundam alternate universes at best only has the same model number but not the actual MS's name.
Also hype hype! Hype!!! Now I gotta buy this beauty dang it mechagaikotsu!❤❤❤
I could see this being great for kitbash purposes. That head is just too dumb for me to take seriously. Put a zaku warrior head on there and boom.
has there been any yet?
What is the number for the box?
Gonna stick with Hilda’s Gyan… despite being P-Bandai…
Not my cup of tea, but it is a good design. Especially since you could make phenomenal customization with its parts!
With gold instead of som blue and Gyanko would be proud. 😂
The head has a notch on its back that allows you to get a good grip on it. The real limitation to its posing is the collar which gets in the way a lot.
This Gyan's shield...Thank you Gallantmon/Dukemon.
Also i hate to keep harping, but the concept ideas for seed are most awesome! ❤❤❤
Amazing suit really hope in the new gundam breaker game would love to use this as a base for main unit
Take a shot everytime mgk says "ridiculous" in this video
Ouch! stickers for tiny piece ✨️omg also beautiful for lack of use of stickers but still auper vibrant!
Can the eye sticker be replaced with the lens sticler from the 30MM option lens?
Wow, the reimagined Gyan Storm is incredible! 😍👏
I regret not pre ordering this Kit, I bought an MG Aile Strike Instead
COOL COOL COOL!
This mech hasn't came out in austraila yet I realy wanna get it but scalper price is 120 aud bro
Are the hip joints compatible with WFM kits?
Please stop playing anime in the background. It's very distracting. I found myself trying to figure out what episode of Zeta that as more than watching the model.
Aplogies on the distraction...
...but did you figure out what episode it was?
@MechaGaikotsu It's episodes 46 and 47.
I just ordered mine I'm extra excited now it looks great ! 💯
Dont care what anyone else says, I fuckin love the design of the gyan strom its so cool! Seeing that beyblade shield in the movie in action was pretty sick.
I still wouldn't buy it though 😅
The mobile suit - Awesome!
The pilot - She belongs to the streets!

could not disagree more. thing is, this doesnt look like an evolution of the gyan, it looks like an in between of the gyan krieger and the gyan kai.
NOW I WANT A SEED VERSION OF GAZA D OR SAZABI, GEARA ZULU ALSO GOOD THO
Hot damn. Never been this early before
Extra articulation these days is ruining the look of the frame for me. It doesnt look robotic, it just looks more like a toy/ joint that moves.
nah, definitely not
I was so looking forward to the gyan storm (THAT SHIELD) but after finding out the pilot was basically flay pt 2 I said screw it, used some leftover hgbd ogre gnx shoulder and kampfer chain mines, and made my own wired beam chakram shield
Not only Flay 2. 0, but a TRAITOR as well
Looks rlly great but probably won’t be picking it up.
Yup. The pilot of this MS is a Flay 2.0
