Bandai Spirits prize division brand Banpresto will be releasing Lacus Clyne, from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom film, to their “GLITTER & GLAMOURS” female anime figure series. With the “GLITTER & GLAMOURS” series, Banpresto aims to create figures that exude the female form, including amazing hourglass figures, ideal body curves, and proportional balance.
Lacus Clyne was introduced as the tritagonist and heroine of the 2002 Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series. She is a pure and innocent young girl with an easygoing demeanor. Her father was the Chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council and she is a songstress beloved by the people.
In the 2024 Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom film, Lacus has assumed the role as President of COMPASS, a world peace monitoring organization with its own military forces contributed by the PLANTs, Orb, and Atlantic Federation.
The tagline of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom is “The wings of freedom to seize the future”. The film is directed by Mitsuo Fukuda, featuring a script by Fukuda, Chiaki Morosawa, and Ryu Goto. Hisashi Hirai returns for character design, while the mechanical design team includes Kunio Okawara, Kimitoshi Yamane, Kazutaka Miyatake, Junichi Akutsu, Manabu Shintani, Zenseava, Takuya Io, and Hiroyuki Taiga. Satoshi Shigeta returns as mechanical animation director. Toshihiko Sahashi is the composer for the film’s music, and the theme song “FREEDOM” is performed by Takanori Nishikawa with Tetsuya Komuro.
