HG 0 Raiser collection

This kit is the HG 00 Raiser Clear Color version released as a 2008 Gunpla Expo exclusive. In the regular HG lineup, the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser were sold separately, then a combined pack came out under the Designer's Color version, and after that the standard and Trans-Am versions of the 00 Raiser with the GN Sword III bundled in were released as well. This kit is a bit tricky to pin down as a clear version of any one specific HG kit — if you had to compare it to something, it has the same parts configuration as the Designer's Color version, just without the GN Sword III.

The overall clear parts quality is on par with previous releases, and while the kit already had solid joint strength to begin with, going clear has made the joints even stiffer. That actually makes posing a breeze, and everything holds together really well.

It's a clean, solid limited edition release, and for 00 Gundam fans it should make for a pretty sweet treat. :-)
