This kit is the HGUC G Defenser & Flying Armor, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It combines the G Defenser from the previously released standard HGUC Super Gundamwith the Flying Armor from the HGUC Gundam Mk-II + Flying Armorinto a single set. RG-style realistic seals are included, and the kit was released with the goal of pairing with the RG Gundam Mk-II rather than the HGUC.

The kits themselves share the same sculpt as the originals, so all the details and gimmicks are identical. However, the molded colors have been subtly shifted to an RG-style palette — slightly brighter and more vivid. The biggest highlight of this kit is really the realistic seals, which are nicely arranged in an RG style and help reduce any sense of mismatch.

One newly sculpted piece has been added: a joint part that attaches to the RG Gundam Mk-II's backpack. This part is meant for connecting the G Defenser, and since the hole sits higher up, the G Defenser ends up positioned a bit higher than it does on the HGUC. As a result, the RG Super Gundam feels just a touch taller overall.

All in all, this is a solid combined kit of the G Defenser and Flying Armor designed to match the RG Gundam Mk-II. Sure, the detail level falls a little short compared to a true RG kit, but the realistic seals do a great job of tying the overall look together. Either way, if you've got the RG Gundam Mk-II, this seems like a pretty fun accessory kit to pick up. :-)
