Together with the original kit, the MG GM Dominance.

This kit is the MG GM Dominance (Philip Hughes Custom), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's essentially the previously released Club G MG GM Dominance with additional weapons. The main body, basic weapons, and accessories are structurally identical — only the molded colors have changed.

So all the characteristics of the main body are MG GM Dominancethe same, and since it's based on the MG GM Sniper II, it's a clean kit with excellent articulation and joint strength. The new molded colors have a more Gundam-like feel to them, so there'll probably be folks who prefer this over the original colorway.

As for the new weapons, two gun turrets are added along with mounting parts to attach them to the backpack, plus two tripods. You can detach the gun turrets from the backpack, combine them with the tripods, and use them in autonomous deployment mode for action poses. The large gun turrets mount securely to the backpack, and the kit's solid joint strength means there are no issues at all with standing upright or holding poses.

So yes, it's a color variant + extra weapons release, but it's a kit that stands out with its distinctive new armaments and a colorway that a lot of people are going to love. If you're a fan of the GM Dominance or just dig the look, this seems like a fantastic kit worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
