This is the HGAC Gundam Geminass 02 Ground Heavy Unit Expansion Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a kit designed to recreate the Ground Heavy Unit configuration using the separately sold HGAC Gundam Geminass 02 as the base. Rather than simply adding weapons or equipment, the approach here is to swap out the parts themselves and reassemble.

Looking at the included manual, it might seem like you need to reassemble the entire HGAC Gundam Geminass 02 from scratch — but in practice, you only need to disassemble and reassemble the head, lower body, and feet. For the head, you'll need to swap out the head antenna and rear head parts. The lower body takes just the core frame from the original and replaces everything else with the new skirt. As for the feet, you disassemble them and transplant just the polycaps into the new feet.

Once you get through all that reassembly, the finished look is seriously impressive — enough to make you forget all the hassle. Despite the added bulk and volume, the base kit's joint strength is solid enough to keep everything held firmly in place. The triple missile launcher, which normally mounts behind the right shoulder, can also be swapped to the forearm by changing the joint parts, and it comes with its own two-stage opening gimmick. On top of that, the beam launcher and the shield's handle/joint move around nice and freely, making it easy to pull off all kinds of dynamic poses.

Overall, this is a really excellent expansion set in terms of quality and style. That said, you do need two kits' worth of spending (¥4000) to make it work, so the price is a little steep for what you get volume-wise. Still, it's a pretty cool kit that feels worth the money. :-)
