This kit is the HG GN-X IV (Commander Type), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially based on the Club G release HG GN-X IV Type GBFwith additional weapons added to the lineup. The main body and standard weapons are completely identical to the original kit, differing only in molded color.

So the basic weapon loadout and structural features are exactly the same as the HG GN-X IV Type GBF, and it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength. The common GN-X trait of the foot armor falling off easily is still here too. On the plus side, two newly sculpted NGN Bazookas are included — they come with an extend/retract gimmick and look great alongside the main body.

You can also choose between two commander unit configurations by mixing and matching the shoulder armor. You can build either Patrick Colasour's unit with GN Shields on both shoulders, or Andrei Smirnov's unit with a GN Buster Sword on one shoulder.

For this review, the main things to check out are the updated color scheme and the new weapons. If you're into a GN-X with a bold, weighty color palette and a generous weapons loadout, this kit is definitely worth recommending. :-)
