Together with the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X1 Kai.
The Kai Kai adds the chest skull design and the Peacock Smasher.

This is the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X1 Kai Kai, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X1 Kaireleased through Club G, it adds a chest skull design and the Peacock Smasher to the lineup. On top of that, all the weapons unique to the X1 Kai — like the ABC Mantle, Screw Whip, and Scissor Anchor — are included as well.

So the articulation and structural features are the same as before, and it's still an HGUC kit with excellent articulation and joint strength. The main body only differs in the chest skull design, but it's quite a striking detail that sets it apart from the other Crossbone variants. The newly added Peacock Smasher is rendered at a solid quality, and you can pull off action poses without worrying about grip strength. Worth noting that the Peacock Smasher isn't a completely new sculpt — it's actually reused from the HG Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Cloth Type.GBFTthat came with that kit.

The changes aren't huge, but there's something meaningful about seeing every Crossbone variant get the HG treatment like this. :-)
