This kit is the HGUC Byarlant Isolde, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit from "Mobile Suit Gundam Twilight Axis," based on the standard-release HGUC Byarlant Customwith several design changes, and the vibrant violet molded color makes for a really striking kit.

Compared to the original HGUC Byarlant Custom, the head, arms, feet and foot armor, and the large rear thrusters have all been redesigned. The claw-shaped hands can be swapped between two different forms, and the kit comes with beam sabers that store inside the forearms. The basic frame is the same as the original kit, so it still delivers decent articulation and joint strength for its size. Weapons are limited and the range of motion is somewhat restricted, so pulling off a wide variety of poses is a bit tough — but the sheer size of this thing gives it a real sense of presence and impact.

The source material may not have been a huge hit, but it's still meaningful that the Byarlant Isolde got the HGUC treatment with its distinctive color scheme. If the large, eye-catching visuals appeal to you, this seems like a kit that's easy to just sit back and enjoy. :-)
