The design concept is the same, but the sculpt and proportions have changed across every part — the camera eye, visor, chin, you name it.

Together with the standard release HGUC Gundam Ground Type Ver.2.

This kit is the HGUC Gundam Ground Type [Parachute Pack] released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially the standard HGUC Gundam Ground Type Ver.2 with a Parachute Pack added. As a bonus, the HGUC GM Ground Type's 180mm Cannon and Rocket Launcher from the standard release, plus the HGUC GM Sniper's Missile Launcher from the Club G release are also thrown in.

The Parachute Pack is a new sculpt and shows clean color separation and solid detail. There aren't any special gimmicks to speak of, but it's a design we've never seen in plastic model form before, so it has a refreshing feel to it. On top of that, three weapons are included, making the options really generous. Since the base structure is identical to the HGUC Gundam Ground Type Ver.2, it delivers the same top-tier articulation and joint strength — A-grade quality all the way.

All in all, this kit is significant simply for being the first time the Parachute Pack has ever been made into a plastic model. The main body itself is the same as the standard release, but the sheer amount of content makes this a very satisfying variation kit. :-)
