The AGE-2 Dark Hound, a variant of the Gundam AGE-2, has been released in AG form. It reuses a large number of parts from the existing AG AGE-2 Normal with only the molded colors changed — but since the head, shoulders, and other design elements differ from the original spec, and the overall color scheme is much darker, it actually feels like quite a fresh kit for a variant.

The basic setup follows the AG series tradition, but thanks to the higher number of separate parts and runners compared to other AG lineup kits, the colors after a straight build come out at nearly HG-level quality. The proportions feel a bit stiffer compared to the HG, but with its bold, striking color scheme and the fact that it can stand firmly on its own, it's not bad at all.

Unlike your typical AG kit that can only manage a basic shooting pose, this one adds a nice point of difference — you can detach the shoulder anchor shot and have the figure hold it in hand. Either way, this is a kit that ranks pretty high even within the AG lineup for capturing the feel of the source material through a quick and easy straight build, and if you're a fan of the Dark Hound, it's a fun little easy kit to enjoy. :-)
