The white and dark blue sections on the head are nicely color-separated.
You'd normally expect stickers to handle that, but it's all done through intricate parts separation instead.

This is the HGAC Gundam Deathscythe Hell, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the HGAC Gundam Deathscythestandard release, with the head, torso, arms, and weapons updated to match the design specs, plus the large active cloak added.

The core structure is the same as the base kit, so it comes out as a standard HGAC kit with smooth articulation and decent joint strength. The active cloak, which reuses parts from the 2021 HG Gundam Livelance Heaven, shows excellent color separation and holds its position well — you can spread it out fully and still get stable poses. The mounting point for the active cloak also moves in all directions, letting you position it flexibly in a variety of ways. On top of that, the newly designed twin beam scythe and Buster Shield's articulation gimmicks are faithfully reproduced, and a stowed version of the twin beam scythe is included separately so it can be stored in the rear skirt.

The color separation deserves a special mention — not only is the white/red separation on the active cloak well done, but the head's color separation really stands out too. The white band sections on the head have been carefully broken up into individual parts one by one. That's the kind of area you'd normally just slap a sticker on in an HG kit, but the engineering here is so meticulous it almost makes you wonder if they really needed to split up such a small head that much.

All in all, this kit carries on the excellent quality of the HG Gundam Deathscythe and adds a rock-solid active cloak on top, making it another high-quality release. Honestly, it probably would've sold just fine as a standard release — but either way, if you're a Gundam W fan or just love the look of it, this is one you can grab without hesitation. :-)
