  • The waist can swivel, though it can be hindered by some hip armor panels.
  • Each of the hip joint axis can slide down to provide extra articulation space for the legs.
  • The upper thighs can swing frontward (and backward in a very limited extent due to the single-piece rear skirt armor) on a peg, raise horizontally and/or rotate on each piece.
    • Front and side skirt armors can flip up to avoid interference.

    • The "Futsunomitama" Physical Katana can be optionally detached from the Proud Defender as a handheld weapon.

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and paint details.
    • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
  • Exercise caution while removing the yellow antenna/red forehead panel pieces; Depending on the thickness (caused by paint layers) of the socket on the white head, forcibly removing the parts may snap off its molded tabs. Cutting those tabs short (in an extent) can reduce this issue.
  • The Advanced Prototype Railgun (and its storage adapters) from the Option Parts Set Cavalier Aifrid can be used on this Gunpla.

Customizing-based tips

  • The DRAGOON backpack from the HGCE Strike Freedom Gundam can mount onto this kit to form the ZGMF/A-262B Strike Freedom Gundam Type II.

Notes & Trivia

  • As with the MGSD Freedom Gundam, the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam uses the "Real Metallic Gloss Injection" for its frame/joint parts, which gives an enhanced metallic luster.
  • Despite appearances, the Gunpla does not use the parts from the HGCE Strike Freedom Gundam, as the Mighty Strike Freedom uses the SEED Action System frame used for every HGCE kits based on the Mobile Suits from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom movie.
  • The Gold plastic from the C runner is UV reactive, which means it can illuminate with Ultraviolet lights.
