This kit is the HGAC Vayeate Suivant & Mercurius Suivant, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the HGAC Vayeate & Mercuriusreleased through Club G, it features changed molded colors along with a number of newly sculpted parts. On the body, the head and crotch vernier designs have been revised, and the calves are longer, making the overall height taller.

These body changes are shared between both the Vayeate Suivant and Mercurius Suivant. On the Vayeate Suivant, the beam cannons and generators have been increased to two on each side, while the Mercurius Suivant's Planet Defensers have doubled from 10 to 20, now arranged in an X-shaped formation. On top of that, four additional stand support parts have been included to mount all 20 Planet Defensers at once, letting you display them in a circular arrangement or split them up into various configurations. The Vayeate Suivant also comes with a Planet Defenser container, allowing you to recreate the final battle configuration from "Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W G-Unit Operation Galiarest."

The basic joint structure is the same as before, so articulation and joint strength are still solid and reliable. The two small stands included can only be used for mounting the Planet Defensers, so you'll need to borrow two additional stands if you want to display the kits in the air. That said, the doubled-up armaments make for some seriously impressive combined shots, and the poses hold together really well — it's just a lot more fun to pose these than before.

With all these beefed-up weapons and numerous new sculpted parts, this comes together as a highly original variation kit. The build quality is right in line with what you'd expect from an HGAC kit, so if the look appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
