The effect parts that came with the Build Burning Gundam are included here as well.

Some of the swap parts tend to fall off easily due to loose fitment..

Limb articulation is excellent.

Alongside the HG Build Burning Gundam with its orange flame clear parts swapped in.
(I was going to swap in the blue clear parts for comparison, but some of those parts went missing, so orange it is.. T_T)
It looks almost identical to the Build Burning, with the main difference being the shape of the clear parts.

The Try Burning Gundam — an upgraded version of the Build Burning Gundam — has been released in HG. The basic body construction is pretty much the same, but the clear effect parts have been redesigned. On top of that, an extra flame effect runner has been added, and overall more than half the runners in the kit are made up of new parts.

Since the core body structure is largely unchanged from the Build Burning Gundam, this is an action kit that delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength. That said, the shoulder-popping issue when pulling the arms forward is still there..

The highlight of the Try Burning Gundam is the newly added flame effect parts. Swapping in and attaching the generous amount of flame parts completes the Burning Burst System, giving it a spectacular look that puts the Build Burning Gundam to shame. It really feels like the whole body is blazing with fire! And if you throw in the original Build Burning Gundam's effect parts on top of that, it looks even more awesome.

Overall, this kit definitely feels like a clear step up from the Build Burning Gundam, and it's a lot of fun to go all-out with all three flame effect runners and strike some flashy poses. It's a great kit I'd highly recommend not only to fans of the Build Gundam anime, but also to anyone who loves super robot-style mecha. :-)
