Club G HGUC

Crossbone Gundam X-0 Full Cloth

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

This kit is the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X-0 Full Cloth, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the Club G release of the HGUC Crossbone Gundam X-0, with the Full Cloth's signature cloak and various additional weapons added to the mix. HGUC Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Clothfeatures a somewhat different cloak and weapon configuration compared to this one.

First off, the front cloak uses a newly sculpted design different from the X1 Full Cloth. Above all, this kit boasts the most loaded weapon selection in the lineup — compared to the X-0, the Murasame Blaster and Peacock Smasher have been added. And compared to the X1 Full Cloth, the beam shield and screw whip are gone, but in their place you get the X-0's Butterfly Buster and Kujaku. On top of that, the Butterfly Buster B has been added as a brand-new sculpted weapon exclusive to this kit.

Just like the Butterfly Buster, the Butterfly Buster B can be switched between gun mode and sword mode by disassembling/reassembling it and adding the beam parts. They're both blade-type weapons, but the naming is a bit all over the place — the Butterfly Buster B is called "sword mode" while the Butterfly Buster is called "saber mode." (Feels like they just named them on the fly..)

The main body itself is the same as before, so it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength. The selling points of this kit are really the newly sculpted cloak and weapons, plus that incredibly generous weapon loadout. Honestly, the HGUC Crossbone series has such a scattered weapon lineup across releases that it's hard to keep track of what's included in what. But with 8 HGUC Crossbone Gundam variations coming out through Club G, it seems like every weapon from the lore has finally made an appearance.

Either way, this kit is significant in that the Crossbone Gundam lineup is now complete in HGUC form, all the way up to the X-0 Full Cloth. With its own new sculpts and the most weapon options we've seen yet, it feels like a fitting grand finale for the series. :-)
