The fixing pin at the rear of the Hyper Mega Rifle still doesn't hold well,
so I stuck double-sided tape on the forearm to keep it in place -_-

Comparison with the standard MG Nu Gundam Ver.Ka combined with the Club G HWS expansion set (left).
The white molded color has been changed to ivory, and the red/dark blue are slightly brighter.

This kit is the MG Nu Gundam HWS Ver.Ka released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially a combined package of the standard release MG Nu Gundam Ver.Kaand the Club G release of the MG Nu Gundam Ver.Ka
HWS Expansion Setbundled together as-is, but with the molded colors overall changed to ivory and pastel tones.

So all the characteristics are the same as the original kits — it's still big and flashy, but the durability is still a bit worrying. The fin funnels still look like they'd fall off at the slightest breeze, and the body still tilts to the left because of the Hyper Mega Shield. Posing with the Hyper Mega Rifle is still a bit of a struggle too, but with some double-sided tape and a support stand, you can manage to get it standing upright and posed well enough. When you put in the effort to get the pose just right, the sheer presence and style of this massive kit makes you forget all those little gripes.

One more thing — along with the change in exterior molded colors, the internal psycho-frame has also been changed from green to blue. As such, for this review you really just need to check out the updated molded colors, and which color scheme you prefer ultimately comes down to personal taste. :-)
