This kit is the MG 00 QAN[T] Full Saber [Special Coating], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a plated version of the standard release MG 00 QAN[T] Full Saberwith no additional parts whatsoever — a straightforward coating variant, plain and simple.

Unlike the previous 00 series coating releases — MG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G
Trans-Am Mode [Special Coating] , MG 00 QAN[T]
Trans-Am Mode [Special Coating] — this one uses an original color coating scheme. The white armor gets a Titanium Finish, while the yellow and red armor pieces are treated with an Extra Finish coating, making it a hybrid coating kit. On top of that, the blue armor uses metallic molding, so overall it's got a noticeably more premium look compared to the standard release.

The price came in at ¥11,000 — exactly double the standard release's ¥5,500 — which feels relatively reasonable compared to the MG Trans-Am coating releases, where the price hike was more than double despite the coating effect being pretty underwhelming. They probably got so much flak for that one that they held back from going over 2x this time. And yet even with a smaller price increase, the variety and quality of the coating has actually improved — which is saying something.

Thanks to the Titanium Finish white — the king of coating finishes — the whole kit has this gorgeous marble-like sheen flowing across it. Combine that with the Extra Finish and metallic molding, and you've got a seriously premium visual quality going on. The green clear parts also use a particle clear process, giving them a glittery sparkle effect inside. Everything else — the included parts and structural features — is identical to the original kit, so for this review you really just need to take a good look at the updated appearance. The one unavoidable downside, as is typical with Titanium Finish, is that some gate marks tend to stand out more noticeably.

All in all, this feels like a coating release that actually gives you your money's worth compared to the MG Trans-Am coating kits. If you're a fan of the 00 QAN[T] Full Saber design and you love coating variants, this one's definitely worth going for. :-)
