This weapon really should have been included with the HG Kampfer Amazing first, but somehow ended up bundled with this kit instead.

Alongside the base kit, the HG Hi-Nu Gundam Brave.

This kit is the HG Hi-Nu Gundam Influx, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a mobile suit from Gundam Build Fighters, based on the previously released HG Hi-Nu Gundam Brave, with the Amazing Weapon Binder (previously released as a Build Custom) included, plus some supplementary parts and weapons added as new sculpts.

First off, the overall color scheme has gotten noticeably deeper and richer, giving it a much weightier presence. On top of that, the large binder and backpack bulk things up considerably. The existing Amazing Weapon Binder has evolved into the Influx Weapon Binder with the addition of wings, and the Amazing Rifle has been mounted as a backpack with extra parts. Two newly sculpted Influx Machine Guns are also included — though these were originally weapons used by the Kampfer Amazing under the name Beam Carbine.

So while the added armaments and weapons definitely bulk up the volume, the main body's joint strength is solid enough to keep poses stable and display-worthy. Articulation is pretty good too, which makes posing all the more fun.

This kit also comes with all the original HG Hi-Nu Gundam Brave parts, so you can build it as the gray Hi-Nu Gundam Brave as well. Swapping the backpack is straightforward, but the head requires disassembly to swap out the mask and head antenna, which is a bit of a hassle. (Though since most people will probably just build it in Influx form, it probably doesn't matter much..)

Between the new molded colors and the upgraded weapons and armaments, this kit has a pretty unique look to it. It's a sturdy kit despite its large size, so if the style appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
