Both are plated versions, but the plating color on the 1/144 is a bit deeper.

This kit is the Full Mechanics 1/144 Mobile Suit Sumo Gold Plating Type & Silver Plating Type, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It bundles the 1/144 Mobile Suit Sumo Goldand 1/144 Mobile Suit Sumo Silverwith plated exteriors into a combined set. The basic contents are the same as the originals — it's simply a plated & bundled kit.

So all the characteristics are identical to the original kits. They are older kits, but since they came out in 1999 at the turn of the millennium, they show a decent look, articulation, and joint strength compared to the very early Gunpla releases. Considering the relatively affordable price of ¥2400, the quality of the shiny gloss-plated surfaces feels like pretty great value. For this review, just taking a good look at the quality and color of the plating should be more than enough.

So while it's a straightforward plated bundle kit, it's also a great plated kit you can enjoy without breaking the bank. For anyone who loved the Turn A series, this feels like a charming little special kit that's well worth keeping as a memento. :-)
