Alongside the base kit, the MG GN-X.
The head, shoulders, and thigh sculpts have been changed.

This kit is the MG Advanced GN-X, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the MG GN-Xreleased as a standard release, it features revised sculpts for the head, shoulders, and thighs. On top of that, the Proto GN Lance and a mid-type barrel for the Advanced GN Beam Rifle have been added as new weapons.

The basic frame is identical to the MG GN-X, so it delivers a solid frame and joint strength. However, the knee range of motion is significantly reduced due to the Advanced GN-X's characteristically thick front and rear thigh armor. The articulation does take a hit as a result, but the more striking and voluminous appearance along with the expanded weapons help make up for it to some extent.

All in all, the real significance of this kit is that the Advanced GN-X has been faithfully realized in MG form. Sure, the leg articulation has taken a step back, but it does offer a more voluminous proportion and a richer set of weapon options. Either way, if you're a fan of the GN-X series, this seems like a kit well worth building. :-)
