But ever since Gundam Double 00 series was out. None-Grade (NG) kit like 1/100 Astraea has changed my perspective on these 'inner frameless' kit. Then came HGUC Nu and so on. The articulation of this Astraea kit is as flexible as the MG Strike Freedom. Of course, the down side of this NG kit is that the joints won't last and tends to worn out if you pose a lot like me with my Astraea.
This is my Astraea with the Gunpla stand. She won't be able to do some battle pose on the ground. Not until I reinforce the joints of the leg parts.
