Kit Review
Straight build + Stickers
The way a single handle is used to represent both the heat stick and beam saber,
the gimmick of storing the heat stick inside the shield is the same as the existing Genoace Custom.

This kit is the HG Genoace O Custom, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the HG Genoace II released as a general retail kit in 2012, with one new runner added to the mix. Along with the molded color change, the head, shoulders, backpack, and weapon designs have also been updated.
Basically, HG Genoace Customand HG Genoace II were color variant kits sharing the same sculpt. Building on those as a base, the shoulders and backpack have gotten a bit bigger, and the head design has been given a sharper, more edgy look. On top of that, a new weapon called the Doze Rifle and an open left hand have been added. The structural characteristics of the main body remain the same, so it still offers easy assembly and solid joint strength. The one downside is that the hip joint's upward range of motion is quite limited due to the lower body structure — though the waist being flexible in all directions does help a lot when it comes to dynamic posing.
So here we have a new Age model kit after quite a while, coming in as a color variant with some new sculpt additions. As a solid, well-built HG kit with a clean finish, it seems like a worthwhile pick if you're an Age fan or just dig the look. :-)
