Together with the HGUC Diquitus (Calisto Light).
As you can see, it's a left-right mirrored configuration.

This is the HGUC Diquitus (Calisto Shade), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit from the manga "Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7," piloted by Calisto Shade — the younger brother of Calisto Light. It's a variation kit of the previously released HGUC Diquitus (Calisto Light) flipped left-to-right.

So all the features are identical to the HGUC Diquitus (Calisto Light) — great articulation, solid joint strength, and that shiny gloss injection finish. The various beam parts and the hand-shaped MA mode transformation gimmick are the same too, though there is one difference: while the Calisto Light version transforms into a left hand, this mirrored Calisto Shade version transforms into a right hand instead.

The parts count still feels a bit lacking for the price, but it's a kit that delivers a reasonably solid sense of quality. Either way, it's significant that both versions of the Diquitus have now been released. :-)
