Product Features
The "Look Up" series is distinguished by its design concept, where each figure is sculpted in a characteristic sitting pose, looking upwards (見上げ＆おすわりポーズ). This posture is designed so that when the figure is placed on a desk, the character appears to be looking directly at the owner, creating a sense of connection.
Each figure stands approximately 110 mm tall and features a neck joint that allows for slight adjustments to the head's angle, personalizing their expression. The standard edition includes the pre-painted figure of the selected character. The exclusive Premium Bandai set contains both the Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha figures, along with a special bonus: two "original mini cushions" (オリジナルミニ座布団) for display.

Character Summary
The choice of Lacus and Cagalli for this collection is grounded in the culmination of their narrative arcs in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, where both assume complex leadership roles.
Lacus Clyne
Lacus's evolution reaches its peak in the film, where she serves as the first president of the world peace monitoring organization, COMPASS. This role forces her to make pragmatic and difficult decisions that test her pacifist ideals, especially when the Foundation's machinations lead her into direct conflict with Kira Yamato. The plot reveals Lacus is an "Accord," a type of Coordinator genetically engineered for leadership, adding a layer of conflict between determinism and her own will. The figure represents this hardened and emotionally complex leader, who actively participates in the final battle by providing tactical support to the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam.
Cagalli Yula Athha
As the Chief Representative of the Orb Union, Cagalli has matured into a respected stateswoman who operates with great strategic depth. Although her role is more subtle, her actions are decisive: she sends Athrun Zala to infiltrate the Foundation, assigns the Akatsuki mobile suit to Mu La Flaga, and is the main sponsor of the clandestine organization Terminal, which develops the protagonists' mobile suits. Furthermore, it is revealed that she participates in combat remotely, assisting Athrun during his climactic duel by controlling the systems of the Infinite Justice Gundam. The figure celebrates a leader who wields her influence not only in diplomacy but also in covert military strategy.
