If you look closely, just one of the hand back parts has a different molded color.. -_-;

The large beam rifle is reused as-is from the existing HG Demi Trainer (Chuchu's custom unit).

The thrusters on the sides of the legs can slide up/down and rotate.

The basic articulation characteristics are pretty much the same as the Demi Trainer.

This kit is the HG Demi Garrison, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the HG Demi Trainer / Demi Trainer (Chuchu's custom unit) released as standard retail kits, this one adds a number of newly sculpted parts — though it feels less like a design overhaul and more like a massive addition of new weapons.

The main body gets redesigned head, knees, and shoulders, along with a heavier, more subdued molded color. New weapons include the short & long barrel rifles, bazooka, beam saber, and missile launcher, while the large beam rifle from the existing HG Demi Trainer (Chuchu's custom unit) is reused as-is. On top of that, newly sculpted parts like the beam vulcan energy pack and additional hand types are thrown in too — all in all, it's a pretty accessory-packed lineup.

The basic frame and articulation characteristics are the same as before, delivering solid articulation and joint strength. That said, the stiffness from having no polycaps is still there. The joints aren't exactly smooth, so getting the pose you want takes a bit of patience — but the pose-holding ability is excellent.

So this is a variation kit that brings a new molded color, revised design, and a hefty load of weapon accessories. The base quality is clean and solid, so if you like the look and what's in the box, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
