The third Bandai Hobby Shop clear limited edition kit commemorating the 00 movie is, as expected, Gundam Harute. Just like its predecessor the Arios Gundam, this kit features a combination of orange and white along with a transformation gimmick into flight mode.

It's a bulky design with a tricky center of gravity, but the joint strength is well-engineered — as long as you get the angle of those big binders on the back right, standing poses are no problem at all. The transformation gimmick is also very simple and clean, letting you switch modes easily in just a few steps. And despite how straightforward the transformation is, the end result actually looks pretty nice.

Personally, I've always thought orange was one of the prettier molded colors among clear color kits, and the combination of milky clear and clear orange is definitely a winning combo here. Bright, vibrant, and just plain pretty.

The HG Gundam Harute Clear Color limited edition is another solid, high-quality kit — one you can enjoy without any major complaints. A great limited release all around. :-)
