Together with the HG Gundam Lfrith.

This kit is the HG Gundam Lfrith Mass Production Prototype, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the existing HG Gundam Lfrithwith changes to the molded colors and some exterior parts, plus new weapons added. Specifically, a newly designed beam rifle and a large launcher have been included.

The main body only has minor changes to the head and chest design — the remaining 90% is identical to the Gundam Lfrith. It's a solid HG kit with excellent articulation and joint strength. The large launcher can be deployed both front and back, and inside it stores 5 gun-bits "Kyronians" per side, for a total of 20. Six gun-bits in their deployed form are also included separately, so you can use a separately sold stand to display them in a launch configuration.

The large launcher mounted on the backpack can be repositioned significantly up or down, and it holds its position well at any angle. That said, the gun-bit storage bay covers have a tendency to pop off entirely when you open them, so it takes a bit of practice opening and closing them a few times to get the hang of it.

With its new color scheme and new weapons, this kit has a really unique personality. There are 3 new runners included, meaning roughly half the parts are newly tooled — making this an exemplary variation kit. Either way, it's a solid, quality kit, so if the distinctive style appeals to you, it's definitely worth recommending. :-)
