The gimmick of rotating the forearm's electric knuckle 180 degrees or storing the beam saber
is the same as the HG Gundam Ez-SR.

With the long barrel attached to the beam rifle, it's just too heavy for the wrist joint to hold up.
The wrist keeps drooping downward and it's hard to keep it straight — in my case, I used double-sided tape to hold it in place for the photos.

Leftover parts

The articulation is the same as the original HG Gundam Ez-SR.

The Shadow Phantom equipment on the back can be raised to a horizontal position.

Alongside the base kit, the HG Gundam Ez-SR.
Overall it's a rearranged loadout configuration,
with changes made to the head, chest, front skirt, shoulder and backpack connection pins, and the weapon joint parts.

This kit is the HG Ez-SR Foxhound, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit that appears in Gundam Build Fighters Try, and is based on the previously released HG Gundam Ez-SR— more precisely, it takes the HG Ez-SR Maxima released as a Pro Shop exclusive, changes the molded colors, and adds a few extra parts. (Related link: BANDAI HOBBY PROSHOP)

First off, the molded color has been changed to red compared to the HG Gundam Ez-SR, and the sculpt has been tweaked here and there — the head, chest, front skirt, shoulder and backpack connection pins, and weapon joint parts have all been changed. It also consolidates the various armament combinations that were possible on the Gundam Ez-SR into one unified configuration, and the backpack section with the Shadow Phantom in particular gains a lot of bulk with all the weapons combined onto it. On top of that, a long barrel has been added that can attach to the existing weapons — though attaching the large long barrel does cause the wrist joint to give out under the weight and droop downward.

Since the HG Gundam Ez-SR is based on the HGUC Gundam Ez8, the base quality is on par with HGUC standards. The slightly reduced ground contact that came with the foot changes in the Ez-SR carries over here as well, but overall it's an HG kit with excellent articulation and joint strength. Aside from the wrist joint going limp when the long barrel is attached, it's a solid kit — and if you're into kits loaded up with flashy weapons, this one should be a pretty fun build. :-)
