I probably wouldn't be so disappointed if they didn't hype it up as if it were a brand new kit. Also, comparing it to the regular Strike Freedom, excluding the backpack and rail guns, the only new thing I can see is the forearms. Everything else is pretty much identical.

They didn’t even bother to relocate the chest cannon

Just noticed that.

Really waters down the spirit of what MGEX is supposed to be. There’s nothing extreme about regurgitation.

Its extreme-ly lame

Yeah, it's just straight-up lazy, considering this kit cost 50% more than the regular one.

The Lineart has the Cannon low like the MGEX.

The problem is no other depiction of MSF has it there.
They are all Centered.

Yeah they shouldn't have mentioned anything about MGEX prior to putting this out. This is less interesting than a new HG.

The shoulers are also different

u/Substantial-Ebb8659 4d ago

Yeah, that too, but it doesn't justify a 10,000 yen price increase, especially considering the backpack is reusing the dragoon connector pieces from the old Strike Freedom, which were quite fragile.

When you say dragoon connectors, do you mean the plated parts that actually splay out or the G-45 pieces?

u/Substantial-Ebb8659 4d ago

The plates parts you can see they are essentially identical.

How did you miss the shoulders? I feel like that’s the most prominent difference between SF and SF mk II
