It's definitely a lot cleaner-looking compared to that cheap non-woven fabric cloak.

This kit is the MG Gundam Sandrock Kai, released as a Club-G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. The main body is a 100% color variant of the existing MG Gundam Sandrock with changed molded colors, with the only addition being a full-body cloak gimmick.

So everything about the main body — all its features, weapons, and accessories — is identical to the MG Sandrock, and it delivers solid articulation and sturdy joint strength. Adding the large cloak doesn't really affect durability or stability, but since the cloak is made of a rigid material, it significantly restricts the range of motion for the arms and legs. That means there's not much you can do pose-wise with the cloak on, which is a downside — but at least it looks a lot better visually than the old 1/100 Gundam Sandrock Custom with its cheap-looking non-woven fabric cloak.

Anyway, aside from the cloak there's really nothing new to look at here, but it's still meaningful in that it completes the MG lineup for all five EW version units. :-)
