Alongside the standard release Origin HG RX-78 Gundam (Mid-Type).
Look closely and you'll notice subtle changes to the head, chest ducts, arms, skirts, legs, and more.

This kit is the HG Gundam Roll Out Color (Gundam The Origin Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Essentially, it's based on the standard release Origin HG RX-78 GundamMid-Type, recolored in a white roll out color scheme. But look closely and you'll find quite a few areas with newly tooled parts.

The exterior parts that have been changed include the head, chest ducts, skirts, arms, and legs, among others. Here's a breakdown of the specific changes:

- The head's V-fin has been replaced with two antennas on the back of the head
   - The yellow chest ducts are now recessed into the chest armor and made smaller. The cockpit area's sculpt and color layout have also been changed.
   - The four yellow square details on the front and rear skirts have been resculpted
   - The forearm armor has been subtly revised
   - The thigh armor's molding and sculpt have been changed

So while more exterior parts have been changed than you might expect, it's honestly hard to notice unless you look carefully. -_-; Other than that, the basic inner frame and weapons are identical to the original kit, and it's still a high-quality HG kit with excellent articulation and joint strength.

So for this review, the main things to look out for are the changed color scheme and exterior parts. They may not be super obvious at a glance, but there's a real sense of satisfaction knowing that quite a few areas have been faithfully updated with new sculpts. If you were thinking of passing on this because you assumed it was just a simple color variant of the standard release — it might actually be worth reconsidering. It's a variation kit that has more going for it than meets the eye. :-)
