Alongside the HG Jackedge. Maybe it's because the official color scheme is so simple, but it's hard to tell the grades apart just by looking at the colors.

The G-Exes Jackedge has been released as a G-Exes variant in the AG lineup, but since the official color scheme is a bit dark and simple, there's really not much visual difference from the HG. ^^; The basic setup is the same as other AG kits, though there's a bonus option where you can detach the knife mounted under the DODS Rifle II B and use it as a separate weapon.

One thing that's a bit iffy is the price — the original G-Exes is ¥600, while this Jackedge version is ¥700. But the parts are almost identical, with just a head and shoulder swap plus the added knife, so the justification for the price bump feels a little thin. It seems like they just reused the original G-Exes runners and added a Jackedge-specific runner on top, but given that a good chunk of the original G-Exes parts end up as leftover parts anyway... charging an extra ¥100 just for those tacked-on parts feels a bit much. Kotobukiya tends to keep the price the same in situations like this, which makes for an interesting comparison.

The design isn't particularly unique, and the colors aren't exactly eye-catching either — it's a pretty unremarkable unit overall. That said, if you're a fan of the Jackedge's role in the show, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
