Together with the HG Eldora Brute.

This is the HG Eldora Daughtress, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a mobile suit from Build Divers Re:Rise, and it came out with a whopping 100% new tooling. The manual is also nicely done in full color, which makes me think it was originally planned as a general retail release before being shifted over to Club G.

It's a completely new-tooling kit, but the overall parts breakdown and build quality feel a bit old-school. Part of that is just the chunky design itself, but the material feels stiff and the parts layout is pretty simple — it almost feels like an HG kit from the early 2000s. Joint strength overall is very solid with no stability issues, but the articulation is pretty average so dynamic poses are a bit of a challenge. On the plus side, the key weapon — the Multiple Barrel Rifle — does have a fully implemented deploy function that opens up in all directions.

After this, the original mobile suit, the Daughtress, was also released through Club G based on this kit — and it seems like the HG Build series often puts out the variant kit before the original. Anyway, while it's a somewhat rough-around-the-edges, average-quality HG kit, there's still something meaningful about seeing the Eldora faction's mobile suits get the plastic model treatment at all. :-)
