This kit is the MG Anavel Gato's Custom Gelgoog Ver.2.0, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the regular release MG Gelgoog Mass Production Type Ver.2.0with a changed molded color and additional weapons. The prototype beam rifle has been added as Anavel Gato's custom armament.

The main body and standard weapons are a straight color variant, so there's nothing new to look at there. The added prototype beam rifle isn't a new sculpt either — it's been recycled as-is from the MG Anavel Gato's Custom Gelgoog 1.0released back in 2003. So for this review, you really just need to pay attention to the changed color scheme and the reused prototype beam rifle. That said, it still delivers the excellent Ver.2.0-based frame and solid joint strength, making it a much more stable MG Gelgoog compared to the 1.0 — and it shows.

So yes, this is essentially a color variant kit with recycled weapons. But the real significance here is that the old 1.0-based MG Anavel Gato's Custom Gelgoog — which had its share of issues — has finally been upgraded to Ver.2.0. That alone makes it worthwhile. :-)
