The internal torso skeleton and shoulder joint structure have been changed.
The HGUC Char's Z'Gok had the shoulder ball joint fixed directly to the torso, as seen on the left,
while the HG Amazing Z'Gok has been upgraded to a horizontally rotating shoulder joint, as seen on the right.

The original Z'Gok arms are also included, so you can actually build a complete Char's Z'Gok if you want.

The left arm is the original Z'Gok arm, and the right is the Amazing Z'Gok arm.
The Z'Gok arm has three individually articulated segments, but the new arm has one segment fixed in place,
which seems to make it a bit easier to support those big arms.

Accessories for recreating the Juaggu and Agguguy modes

The claws on the forearms also articulate to recreate the Zogok mode.

Leftover parts.
Not only the original torso skeleton (left), but the new torso skeleton and shoulders (right) also end up as leftover parts due to duplicate runners.

The limb articulation itself is pretty much identical to the HGUC Z'Gok.

A horizontally rotating shoulder joint has been added, but
the space is so tight that it doesn't actually move all that much..

This is the HG Amazing Z'Gok, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit from Gundam Build Fighters, HGUC Char's Z'Gokbased on the HGUC Char's Z'Gok, with a molded color change and a pair of massive arms added. Those giant arms are designed to recreate the characteristics of four different amphibious MS (a.k.a. the "seafood" crew).

First off, the original Z'Gok arms are included so you can build a complete Char's Z'Gok — but since this kit is really all about building the Amazing Z'Gok with those massive arms, the standard Z'Gok arms are basically leftover parts. As for the overall molded color, it's in Char's colors, but the pink tones come out a bit brighter and more vibrant compared to the original HGUC Char's Z'Gok.

The torso and legs look identical to the HGUC Char's Z'Gok, but the internal torso skeleton has been replaced with new tooling. The old fixed shoulder joints have been upgraded to rotating articulated joints, though the tight space means they don't help as much as you'd hope. The real highlight of this kit is the oversized forearms — using various gimmicks and accessories, you can pose it in Agguguy, Acguy, Juaggu, and Zogok modes.

By the way, in Bandai Korea's official product promotional imagesthe kit is described as featuring Acguy instead of Agguguy — but Acguy and Agguguy are different mobile suits. The one that swings two whip-like appendages from its hands is clearly Agguguynot Acguy. Probably just a mix-up during translation since the names sound similar.

And the base kit, the HGUC Z'Gok, is a vintage-era kit from 2001. Setting aside the limited articulation that comes with its multi-joint structure, the joint strength overall isn't particularly tight. The shoulders and forearms have been swapped out for new parts seemingly to accommodate the new oversized forearms, but the joints still feel a bit weak for holding the arms out horizontally — they gradually droop down.. That old-school feel throughout is just something you'll have to accept, I suppose.

Anyway, the giant arms that can pull off all those different modes are genuinely appealing. Just keep in mind that this is built on an early HGUC kit that's over 20 years old. :-)
