Look closely and you can see the face mask part has been changed, and the feet are oriented 180 degrees differently too.

This kit is the HG Gundam G-Else (Before), a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive release. Basically, it's a HG Gundam G-Elsecolor variant that swaps the standard release's darker molded colors for lighter ones. Only one new sculpt part was added — the face mask.

First off, this kit represents the "Before" era coloring of Gundam G-Else, piloted by Zenie and Arc from "Gundam Build Divers Break," released as a pair with the Gundam Shining Break (Before). Since all the basic construction and accessories are identical to the original kit, in this review you really only need to check out the changed molded colors and the mask part. It still shows the same solid articulation and joint strength as before, and the unique Grow-Up Arm on the forearm works exactly the same way.

So while it's essentially a simple color variant, the completely different coloring does give it a distinct feel compared to the original kit. If you like the style or are a fan of the Build series, pairing it with the simultaneously released HG Gundam Shining Break (Before)as a couple set would make it even better. :-)
