Expert Review

The Z'Gok (Seed Freedom Ver.) from the theatrical anime "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom" has been released as an HGCE kit. Since the HGUC Char's Z'Gokcame out back in 2001, this is a completely new-tooled HG Z'Gok appearing for the first time in 24 years. In terms of lore, it's actually not a separate MS — it's an external package designed to conceal the Infinite Justice Gundam Type II.

Because of that, the kit features a unique assembly method where the head, upper body, shins, and feet of the Infinite Justice Gundam Type II are partially sculpted and built into the interior of the body. These are newly sculpted parts made specifically for internal insertion, but the Forantes on the back is straight-up reused from the HGCE Infinite Justice Gundam Type IIwithout any changes.

The multi-jointed limbs on this Z'Gok — coming 24 years later — don't use the old segment-linking method. Instead, a system is applied where rings are slipped onto a movable frame one by one. Thanks to that, it nails both smooth articulation feel and solid joint strength at the same time. The one slightly tricky thing is that the direction of bend can be a bit confusing given the round joint design, but after moving them a few times you get the hang of it pretty quickly. Also, instead of the sliding hip joints that have been trendy lately, a special gimmick is used where the side skirt mounting plates rotate and swing to the rear, expanding the leg range of motion.

For accessories, you get beam parts for the Forantes, a damaged head armor piece, and red-hot glowing claw parts. It would've been a pain if only the claws were swappable, but thankfully two full sets of hands are included so you can swap the entire hand. Beyond that, the Forantes detachment and articulation work the same as on the HGCE Infinite Justice Gundam Type II. When the Forantes is mounted on the back, the center of gravity shifts rearward, so you do need to balance it carefully when standing it upright.

So while the lore treats it more as an external armament rather than a proper MS, as an HGCE kit it's been pulled off as a slick, standalone unit. It seems like a well-done kit that should appeal not just to SEED fans but also to Universal Century old-timers. :-)
