This kit is the MG Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the previously released MG Gundam Heavyarms with a changed molded color, and comes with two double Gatling guns added to the lineup. As a bonus, a Pierrot mask is also included.

So all the structural features are identical to the existing MG Gundam Heavyarms, delivering solid articulation, joint strength, and functionality. The weapon bay open/close gimmicks on the chest, shoulders, skirt, and legs are all carried over as well. The newly added double Gatling guns can be securely attached to either the forearm or the backpack by swapping the fixing pin, which makes it possible to pull off some really dynamic full barrage poses.

All in all, it's a variation kit that doesn't go beyond what you'd expect, but it's still a meaningful release just for the fact that the impressive Heavyarms Custom has finally made it into the MG lineup. :-)
