This kit is the HGAC Gundam Heavyarms Custom, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the previously released standard HGAC Gundam Heavyarms,with changes to the front/rear skirt and backpack designs, and the beam gatling upgraded from one to two.

Aside from the changes mentioned above, everything — including the molded colors — is identical to the original kit. It's still a solid HG kit with decent articulation and joint strength, though it's a bit of a shame that the differences from the base kit aren't more pronounced. So for this review, you can just focus on the updated design parts, and if the differences don't really grab you, you'd be perfectly fine just picking up the standard HGAC Gundam Heavyarms instead.

It's a variation that's admittedly hard to tell apart at a glance, but for Gundam W fans, there's definitely something meaningful about seeing the Heavyarms Custom finally realized in HGAC form. :-)
