This kit is the MG Crossbone Gundam X0 Ver.Ka, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release MG Crossbone Gundam X1 Ver.Ka, the molded colors have been changed to silver/metallic, the head antenna has been revised, and X-0's unique weapons have been added to the lineup.

First off, the silver and red molded colors come out in a nice metallic finish — the color looks even better than the HGUC X0. As for new weapons, the Kujaku and Butterfly Buster have been added, and each can be converted between Smasher/Buster mode and Gun/Saber mode respectively. These new weapons lock firmly onto the palm's mounting pin, so they hold their position no matter what pose you put them in. Everything else about the kit — the main body and standard weapons — is the same as before, so there's a slight looseness to it, but it still shows decent articulation and joint strength overall.

All in all, this kit is significant just for the fact that the silver X-0 finally got the MG treatment, and the new weapons are reproduced at a level that's well worthy of the MG grade. Crossbone is basically a color variant series at its core, but each color scheme has its own charm. Either way, if you're a Crossbone Gundam fan, this is definitely a kit worth picking up. :-)
