This kit is the HGUC Slave Wraith (Parachute Pack) released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially based on the Club G release of the HGUC Ground Type Gundam
(Parachute Pack Spec)with some new tooling applied and a changed weapons loadout.

First off, the molded color has been changed to a heavy dark gray tone, and new tooling has been applied to the head, shoulders, and backpack. The head gets a new design with an added face guard and antenna, while the shoulders gain wearable armor. The backpack has also been redesigned with four thrusters, and new joint parts allow the parachute pack to be attached. Everything else on the parachute pack reuses existing parts as-is.

The weapons loadout is basically the HGUC Ground Type Gundam Ver.2 plus the HGUC Ground Type GM'srocket launcher added in. In the end, the 180mm cannon and missile launcher that came with the HGUC Ground Type Gundam (Parachute Pack Spec) are dropped, replaced with the original Ground Type Gundam's beam rifle, 100mm machine gun, and 180mm cannon. In short, the kit itself is similar, but the weapons combination has changed quite significantly — check the individual reviews for a detailed breakdown of the differences.

All that said, it's meaningful that they went as far as adding new tooling to bring the Slave Wraith to life in HGUC form. With the parachute pack thrown in on top of that, it makes for a pretty appealing variation kit overall. The base body is well-proven quality at this point, so if the look appeals to you, this should be a satisfying build. :-)

* Just a note — some kits use one romanization of "parachute" in Korean and others use a slightly different one, and some people keep flagging it as a typo. There's no single correct way to romanize foreign words, and fans argue about it endlessly, so I'm just going with Bandai Korea's official product names as-is. (The mixed usage isn't on me — that's Bandai Korea's doing~)
