This kit is the HGCE Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A (Redelard & Daniel & Liu Custom), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive.
Daniel & Liu Custom). It was released alongside the HGCE Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A (Griffin Arbalest Custom)and is simply a color variant combo set of that same kit — three identical kits bundled together, each with a different accent color for each pilot.

So all the contents and features are identical to the original kit, and it comes out as an HG-class kit with solid articulation and joint strength as before. In this review, the main thing to look out for is really just the three different accent colors for each unit — orange (Redelard), blue (Daniel), and pink (Liu).

Since it's essentially just a color variant combo set, there's nothing new to speak of — but the appeal is that, combined with the standard release, you can field all five members of the Black Knight Squad. The kit quality itself is pretty good, and building the same kit three times over wasn't nearly as tedious as you might expect. And having them lined up by color actually looks quite lovely. The real question is whether it's worth shelling out ¥8,100 for a bundle of HG kits like this — that's where the value proposition gets a bit iffy. That said, the kits themselves are nice and well-made, so if you're a fan of Gundam SEED Freedom or just love the design, it's probably worth the investment. :-)
