HG OO-related kit collection.

The HG 00 Raiser combo pack that we all figured would come out eventually has finally been released. Basically, it includes the same runners from the existing HG 00 Gundam and HG 0 Raiser as-is, and I guess that alone would've been a bit embarrassing, so they've also thrown in a normal color version of the GN Sword III that was in the Trans-Am version, plus the GN Shield seals from the Designer's Color version. With that, this has become a full-option deluxe combo pack with every option for the HG 00 Gundam covered. ^^

Since the HG 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser were already released separately, there's nothing particularly new about the HG 00 Raiser itself... so in the end, the biggest selling point of this kit is probably the normal color version of the GN Sword III. The beam parts are split off as clear green parts, which looks really nice, and on top of that you get a bunch of extra beam parts thrown in — so in terms of contents, this is one seriously packed kit.

Price-wise... it works out to HG 00 Gundam (¥1000) + HG 0 Raiser (¥800) + GN Sword III & seals (estimated ¥200), landing at ¥2000 for the kit, which seems like a pretty reasonable price point. Given the circumstances, I was expecting it to be set at ¥2200, so it came out a little cheaper than I thought.

The HG 00 Gundam was already an excellent kit, so it goes without saying that the HG 00 Raiser quality is great too. Incredible articulation, solid joint strength, a compact and well-proportioned build... and now with the full-option weapons loadout on top of that — it really feels like this one kit wraps everything up so you don't need to buy the HG 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser separately. :-)
