This kit is the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X-0, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. HGUC Crossbone Gundam X1is used as the base, with some parts of the body done in new sculpts and additional weapons included. The standout feature of this unit is its metallic silver molded color.

First off, the new sculpts bring changes to the blade antenna on the head and the chest ducts, and on the weapons side, two Butterfly Busters and a Quajac are newly included. By disassembling and reassembling them, the Butterfly Buster can be used in Gun mode or Saber mode, while the Quajac can be used in Smasher mode or Buster mode. The Quajac's Buster mode works the same way as the existing Muramasa Buster — it even reuses the same beam parts from the Muramasa Buster. Beyond that, standard weapons like the Zanbuster, Scissor Anchor, and beam saber are included, though the Screw Whip and beam shield that came with some of the earlier kits are absent here.

The molded color has changed and some sculpts have been updated, but the overall construction is the same as the previous releases, so it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength. As a Crossbone Gundam that stands out with a fresh color scheme and several new weapons, this seems like a pretty worthwhile pickup for anyone who's a fan of the Crossbone series. :-)
