Together with the standard release MG Zaku II F2 (Zeon version).

This kit is the MG Zaku II F2 (Neuen Bitter Use), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially based on the standard release MG Zaku II F2
(Zeon version)with a changed molded color — a simple color variant. Both the Zeon and Federation weapon runners are included.

The overall molded color is a uniform yellow-green tone, and since there are no newly sculpted parts, everything else is identical to the original. The base kit is from 2002, so it uses the old bolt-assembly style joints, but even so, the overall proportions and standing stability still feel like some of the best among MG Zakus.

The weapons and accessories combine everything from both the previously released Zeon and Federation versions. You get the shared 280mm Zaku Bazooka and Sturm Faust, the Zeon version's missile pod and MMP-80 90mm machine gun, and the Federation version's MMP-78 120mm Zaku machine gun and heat hawk — all in one box. Throw in all the little accessories on top of that, and this kit boasts a fuller weapon loadout than just about any other kit out there. Thanks to that, you can pull off all kinds of fun mixed-armament poses.

So yes, it's a simple color variant, but it comes together nicely as a full-option MG Zaku F2. The structure is straightforward, but it's still an MG Zaku that delivers solid articulation, good joint strength, and excellent stability. Either way, if the style and weapon lineup are your thing, this looks like a kit you'll have plenty of fun with. :-)
