Not only is the color separation better, but the HG seems to have better proportions too.

Gundam AGE-FX, with 14 glowing panels hanging all over its body, has been released as an HG. As expected, the clean color separation combined with those flashy green clear parts make for a really striking look straight out of the straight build.

To display all those panels in a floating state, a unique clear ring accessory is included. You can plug all 14 panels onto the ring wherever you want, and the ring's mounting angle can be adjusted in various ways too, which really helps with setting up all kinds of display scenes. ^^

The basic build quality is excellent, as you'd expect from a modern HG — great articulation and solid joint strength. The included Stungle Rifle features a charge mode gimmick, and you can also attach extra parts to the top and bottom to turn it into the large Daidal Bazooka, so the weapon options are pretty well covered.

It's a kit full of personality with its varied and flashy panel action — while the fundamentals are a bit on the light side, it's still a fun HG kit that's well worth building without overthinking it. :-)
