This kit is the HG Accelerate GN-X, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a mobile suit that appears in Gundam Build Fighters, and HG GN-Xis the base, with a large number of changes made throughout. Story-wise, it's a kit with a unique look — it rides GN Skis that can glide across Plavsky particles, giving it a very distinctive foot design.

First off, compared to the original GN-X, the head, chest, lower body, shoulders, thighs, and feet have all been changed, making it feel like an almost completely different unit — it's been remodeled that thoroughly. The GN Skis on the feet in particular are definitely a unique visual. On top of that, the weapons have been swapped out for new ones too — the Shield Rifle and Shield Saber — and the claw on the Shield Saber can be slid forward and mounted in either a forward or rearward orientation. The standard GN-X feet are also included, so you can reposition the GN Ski and shoulder structure and swap them in.

That said, the core frame of the body is the same as the HG GN-X, so it's still a pretty standard HG kit — the limb articulation is decent but a little stiff, and the joint strength is nothing special. But with the bigger overall size and flashier weapons, the poses do feel like they have a lot more impact than before.

All in all, it's a solid-quality HG kit with a genuinely unique personality. If you enjoyed Build Fighters or just dig the style, it's definitely worth building. :-)
