  5. awesome episode! thanks for bringing us a review of not one but both MG Freedoms. i’m kind of disappointed that the 2.0 has been reduced in height and wondering what their reasoning is behind it. is it still true to the scale of the mechanical specs listed on the manual compared to a hypothetical actual size? lol just nitpicking on numbers and specifics. still a terrific kit and can’t wait to build it.

  6. I’m a twin too! We’re both into Gunpla but he doesn’t normally keep up with you guys :C Nevertheless I am excited to see what the hobby show has in store!

  7. when i see the Freedom 2.0 i really can’t imagine the next 12 years for the 3.0!!! Because the detail on 2.0 really look amazing and the articulation is on the serious level that i see from a pro gunpla custom. gonna get it one while it last!!!! and Tod and Syd for the review!!!

  8. i like the design, but as a gunpla kit, the freedom seems very fiddly. that backpack just feels like it has too much going on…
    kinda like ryan!! congrats man; best of luck with the new fatherhood mayhem double edition! looking forward to a triumphant return to GPTV once things’ve gotten settled in with the new family life; until then, somebody’s got some lines to learn (lookin at you, todd)! no pressure…

  15. The new Freedom looks cool, all those shoulders and hips gimmicks, but no knee sliding, nor LEDs… What is Bandai up to? Also congrats to Ryan for his family upgrade, but I still want that Masterpiece Liger built. As for the song, i vote for Fight for Freedom by ManowaR. Thanks again

  16. No doubt Freedom 2.0 is the best looking one so far. And the build is certainly unique. I must have it!

  17. Congratulations Ryan,I imagine your kids will probably be 13 by the 3.0 Freedom comes out lol.

  18. Great show guys. Syd I’m looking to pick up a Zeta MG but there are so many versions. I know you’ve weighed in before on the best version of the sinanju and the RX-78, what are your thoughts on the Zeta?

    Reply
  19. Two thumbs up and congratulations to Ryan!

    I’ve been catching up on all the old episodes from the start at 125% speed, and I watched this one on a train trip at normal speed. It’s really weird to hear you speak so slow! 🙂

  20. CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!

    I like the Freedom 2.0. I think it’s a major improvement on the regular Freedom design. Dunno why but the original designs never spoke to me, the 2.0 on the other hand looks awesome!

    Reply
  21. Loved the review guys. I’m dying to get mine in the mail any day now. Freedom!

    Reply
  22. The previous Freedom which is less busy is indeed more accurate to the anime (iirc). Drawing all those details which the 2.0 offers, would probably have given the production team a lot more work. I rather have it this way than them using 3D models.

    Also lol, was that intro blooper (the freedom 2.0 intro) suppose to be left unedited as a joke? xD

  23. Congratulation on Ryan’s healthy new born twins.

  24. sorry to let you down, there is no more mythbusters. That Tested actually is a youtube channel not part of mythbusters and the mythbusters ended already somewhere in March this year. one of the main star of mythbusters (Adam) do collaboration with Tested and always appear in some talk, 1 day build, and his explanation on his coming project. Tested usually do random stuff from tech gadget and hobby thing (more to hollywood movie replica). yes recently see them build (group build) perfect grade zeta gundam. funny to see them first time unboxing it, with that so many parts it like they no have idea what to do and where to start, but they manage to build it bit by bit. but one thing for sure no testing from mythbusters to test gundam since the program ended already. actually its a fun too if they want to test gundam technology in real life. to see what it look like if they exist and how its working.

  31. Salut to Ryan.
    Go Liger man, there will be no small plasticparts for you in years,
    and since megasize is dead, it is your last chance to inhale the spirit
    of a fresh unboxed runner.

  32. Great stuff as always guys! And congrats to Ryan!

  33. OMG!!! Can’t believe I won the Guntank 🙂 Thanks guys. Also, congrats to Ryan and hope you manage to get a good look at the MG FA-78 Thunderbolt ver Ka next week, really looking forward for it. Thanks again all at HLJ!

    Reply
    • I’ve seen 3D rendering of the FA-78 and was pleasantly surprised to see that Hajime Katoki had designed the inner robot. But I was truly shocked to see a rendering of the Escape pod and it will be interesting to see whether its inclusion will aid or hinder movement of the waist and upper torso section.

  34. Oh, man…! Now that I have a stable income I can’t really buy gunplas without being broken cause USD is too expensive here in Brazil. T_T These Freedom are so temptive!

  37. Congrats to Ryan!! Nice review on Freedom 2.0 !!

    Reply
  38. All this talk about freedom 1.0 and freedom 2.0 reminds me of George Michael’s freedom (Wham) vs freedom ’90. Same guy, but two very different versions.

  39. Freedom 2.0 looks sick!! Waiting on an RE/100 Kshatriya!! BANDAI JUST MAKE ONE ALREADY!!

  40. Hi Guys,

    Great show!
    I have the OG, that I purchased years ago, and it was interesting to see the differences. Also, Congratulations and Gambare to Ryan and especially Mrs. Ryan on the new additions.
    Does this mean we will be seeing even more of Todd on Gunpla TV?
    If so then, well played Todd…well played.^-^

    Looking forward to seeing the gang on the Shiz Videos.

  41. The V-fin of the 2.0 is way too long. I like the extra details on the kit though.

  42. Love the on screen comparison!! Great job!

    Reply
  43. I need that 2.0 kit. been waiting for it ever since it was first announced @.@

  44. Gunpla is Freedom! Gunpla is Justice, where’s the MG justice!?

    Reply
  45. Very nice! Too bad I’m not into MGs (though the Sazabi and Nu may convert me yet…). I intend to get the RG at some point. 🙂

  46. Freedom!!!

  47. Another great episode guys and keep up the great work!

    The cries for the MG 2.0 Freedom sounds like it could be a rally cry from Full Metal Jacket.(I changed it up a bit, but you get the feeling)

    Bandai: “What do we do for a living, ladies!?”
    Todd and Syd: “Gunpla! Gunpla! Gunpla!”
    Bandai:”What MG do you want to build!?”
    Todd and Syd: “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!”

    So question for Todd and Syd, what initially got you into building model kits or gunpla?

    Reply
  48. Great episode guys and a late congratulations to Ryan on the birth of the twins! May they bring you joy and frustration in equal measure, as children are wont to do to their parents.

    Also Todd and Syd, good work on the Freedoms, it looks like either are great kits its a shame however that I don’t really have enough room to collect anything bigger than HGs and RGs.

  49. Grats Ryan,
    great show looking forward to the next one!!

  50. Really good episode and great side by side review. The Freedom brings back all my memories of building the MG freedom gundam OG, I’ve built quite a lot of seed kits and good to see Bandai are still showing some love to the series and I’m very tempted to pick up Freedom 2.0

  51. Strike Freedom 2.0 When?

    I would really like to see more AOZ kits tho 🙂

  52. Where’s the Wallace references 🙁

    Reply
  53. FINALLY!!!! Nice comparison for both gunplas. Can’t wait to build that kit!

  54. Happy to see that my comment got read! Thanks guys!

  55. Congrats, Ryan!

    Those railguns are too damned long. I still like the compact design on the RG Strike Freedom better. The V_fins are too damned long. What’s your wow factor on the original and 2.0?

    I’m gonna break the mould and say ‘Raise You Flag’ by Man On a Mission (OP1 for IBO).

    Yeah, MythBusters has been over for awhile now. All the members are on to their own things, after 13 years. Tested is independent.

    • I think the best on tested are Adams on day builds.
      Haha and whats with Hasselhofs “looking for freedom”
