Together with the HG Gundam 00 Sky.

Alongside the HG Gundam 00 Sky, a special version kit with the rather long name of HG Gundam 00 Sky (Higher Than Sky Phase) has been released. The Higher Than Sky Phase represents a temporarily enhanced form of Gundam 00 Sky, and it's essentially a version with changed molded colors on the base body plus added effect parts and a stand.

Since the base body is completely identical to the original, please refer to the HG Gundam 00 Sky reviewfor more details — in this review, you'll just want to check out the changes to the molded colors and what's included in the option parts.

The overall molded colors have gotten noticeably brighter, and the visual impression is surprisingly quite different. The pearlescent white and pastel-toned armor colors go together really nicely. The effect parts attach to the Sky Drive Unit on the shoulders and the Sky Bracer on the forearms, and they can also be mounted on the shin armor to be used as a weapon called the Sky Legas. The stand in bright clear orange is the same one that came out as an option kit a while back, and it lets you position and lock the kit at a variety of angles.

Thanks to the brighter molded colors and the flashy effect parts, the visuals are definitely a step up. The display impact you get for the price is pretty impressive. Sure, it's a Special Variation, but the base kit itself is solid quality too — so it's well worth the money, a really great kit. :-)
