The two-figure set pairs the Freedom Gundam piloted by Kira Yamato with the Providence Gundam piloted by Rau Le Creuset, and includes the Ambidextrous Halberd formed by joining the hilts of the Lacerta beam sabers.","whyItMatters":"The set is built around one specific duel from the series, and the halberd is the piece that makes that duel reproducible on a shelf, so the release sells the final battle rather than the two mobile suits on their own.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe set is a two-figure package at roughly 55mm tall and 75mm wide, aimed at buyers 15 and up, with gum included. Bandai\u0026#39;s CORE line leans on paintwork to carry the mechanical look, and the Freedom\u0026#39;s weapon here is the double-bladed Ambidextrous Halberd made by connecting the hilts of its Lacerta beam sabers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrders run through Premium Bandai, and the listing notes the set may be sold at general retail stores overseas, with release dates possibly differing outside Japan. The order period can change without notice.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Ambidextrous Halberd is the detail that sells this set: it only exists if you join the Lacerta beam sabers' hilts, so the Freedom and Providence figures are built to be posed against each other.","twitterPost":"Bandai's Freedom and Providence set only forms the Ambidextrous Halberd by joining the Lacerta sabers' hilts, so the pair is designed as one pose.","threadsPost":"Bandai's Freedom and Providence set carries the Ambidextrous Halberd, which forms only when the Lacerta beam sabers' hilts join. The two figures are built to be displayed as a single final-battle pose, which is why they ship as one set at 6,996 yen rather than separately.","newsletterBlurb":"Bandai has opened pre-orders on Premium Bandai for a FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE set pairing the Freedom Gundam and the Providence Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
