This kit is the HG Gundam Dryon III, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit from Gundam Build Fighters Try, and is based on the previously released HG Gundam Tryon 3Structurally, only the head antenna has been changed, but with the entire body molded in black and a large number of gold foil stickers applied, the overall look feels quite different.

Aside from the larger head antenna, the main body and accessories are identical to the existing HG Gundam Tryon 3. Since it's based on the HGUC ZZ Gundam, the articulation is nothing special, but the joint strength is solid and stable. The split/transformation gimmick into Riku, Umi, and Sora Dryon III is also carried over as-is. So for this review, you really just need to take a good look at the bigger head antenna and the changed molded colors.

Even without any major structural changes, this kit still delivers that reliable build quality with a unique color scheme. It's pretty much a color variant, but if the style appeals to you, it looks like a kit you can have a good time putting together. :-)
