Alongside the HGUC Full Armor Gundam Unit 7 released in 2009.

This is the HGUC Gundam Unit 6 Mudrock, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. In English it's spelled "Mudrock," so you'd think it should be pronounced accordingly, though Bandai Korea's official sales name came out as "매드록." Either way, this is the first time it's appeared as an injection kit, and despite being an entirely new mold, it didn't get a general retail release.

The overall quality is right in line with what you'd expect from a standard HGUC kit, with excellent color separation, articulation, and joint strength. You can choose between red or green eye stickers, and the shoulder and leg parts are provided in both unfinished and completed versions so you can swap between them. On top of that, the variable thrusters on the legs can rotate, which adds a nice dynamic flair to your poses.

There's nothing really to complain about, but at the same time there's nothing that particularly stands out either — it's just a solid, high-quality kit that nails the basics. The look and build quality are good enough that it probably would've been quite popular even as a general retail release. :-)
