This kit combines two of the Shield Boosters that were included with the MG Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Kai] into a single set.

It also includes two joint parts so you can attach them to both arms.

Since the yellow runners from the Hazel Kai are reused here, you end up with a good amount of leftover parts.

It's not an exaggeration to say this is basically an accessory kit just to recreate this one pose.

This is the MG Shield Booster Expansion Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially the Shield Boosters from the existing Hazel Kai pulled out and bundled together as two copies — all so you can build the Hazel Kai high-mobility form, which requires three Shield Boosters total.

Since the Shield Boosters themselves are just duplicates of what's already in the original kit, there's not much new to look at here. The biggest selling point is simply being able to put together the high-mobility form without having to buy another Hazel Kai. With the HGUC version, there's no separate Shield Booster accessory set, so you'd have to buy two more HGUC Hazel Kais just to get the parts for the high-mobility form. At least with MG, Bandai was kind enough to offer this as a clean accessory set — which is a relief, honestly. (Buying two MG Hazel Kais just for the Shield Boosters would cost a pretty scary amount.)

Anyway, the two Shield Boosters naturally look right at home on the Hazel Custom (of course they do???), and if you're planning to build the MG Hazel Kai in high-mobility form, this is one very welcome accessory kit. :-)
