This kit is the HGFC God Gundam Vs. Master Gundam Hyper Mode Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It takes the HGFC G Gundamand the HGFC Master Gundam & FuunsaikiMaster Gundam from that release, applies gold plating to both, and bundles them together. There are absolutely no new sculpt parts — it's a straightforward plated parts kit.

So for this review, you really just need to pay attention to how the gold plating looks and the color of the yellow-molded joint parts — for a detailed breakdown of the gimmicks and features, please refer to the original kit reviews. One thing worth noting: like most plated parts kits, the added coating layer makes some joints a bit stiffer than on the original kits. That does help with pose stability a little, but since the originals already had pretty solid joints, it's not exactly a dramatic improvement.

The overall plating quality is fairly average — there is some variation in coating thickness depending on the contours of the parts. That said, in terms of color, it came out with a richer and deeper tone compared to other gold-plated kits. As you can see in the comparison shots with the other Hyper Mode plated kits above, the color reads closer to gold than yellow.

Sure, it's a simple plated parts kit at the end of the day, but it does a nice job of capturing that premium feel unique to Hyper Mode as a combined set. If you're a fan of the G Gundam series or just love gold-plated kits, this is definitely worth picking up. :-)
