This kit is the HG Gundam GP Rasetsu Ten released as part of the Build Divers Re:Rise series. As you can tell at a glance, it's based on the Gundam GP02 Physalis, and three of the runners are reused from the HGUC Gundam GP02. Depending on how you combine the parts, you can build it as either Gundam GP Rasetsu or Rasetsu Ten.
First off, the GP02's signature massive shoulder armor is reimagined here as the Flexible Ogre Binder Ten. It's significantly larger than the original and gains a GN Eyes Blaster opening gimmick, plus extension and articulation gimmicks for the Ogre Claw. Add beam parts to the Ogre Claw and you can use it like a beam saber, and with the adapter parts you can even have it grip the large GN Ogre Sword Type 2. Combine the two GN Ogre Sword Type 2s and you get the GN Ogre Twin Sword Type 2, and the two GN Revolver Bazookas on the back can be detached and the grips pulled out for use as separate weapons. The kit's unique weapon, the Rasetsu Kinsakubo, can also be used in two ways — rifle mode and staff mode.
The basic body structure is nearly identical to the existing HGUC Gundam GP02, with solid articulation and sturdy joint strength. Despite the hefty added armaments, everything holds together well, making it a very easy kit to pose. The grip strength for holding the large weapons is more than adequate, and even though the articulation is fairly standard, this thing has such a beefy build that it looks imposing with even the simplest poses. Especially when you bring the Ogre Claws into the mix and wield multiple weapons at once — you can pull off some seriously impressive, high-volume scenes.
In terms of color scheme alone, it almost feels like a certain someone's personal GP02, but overall the generous weapon loadout, the options, and the solid joints and stability despite its sheer size all add up to a really high-quality feel. Even if you've been put off by Build series designs feeling a bit too patchwork, this one might just win you over — it's a powerhouse of a kit with top-notch quality. :-)
