This is the MG Dwadge Custom, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the previously released MG Dwadge, with changes to the molded colors and the head, shoulders, chest, crotch, and weapons. The extra parts bump the price up by ¥500, and the box is also slightly larger.

The basic frame is the same as the MG Dwadge, so it shows the improved shoulder and hip joints compared to the MG Dom. That said, the retaining pins are still annoyingly tight and there's a real risk of breakage, so sanding or trimming them down before assembly is pretty much a must.

The newly added beam cannon has fairly straightforward detailing, but it carries a nice sense of bulk and dimensionality. Thanks to the articulated handle and retaining pin, you can pose it comfortably without worrying about grip strength. The heat tomahawk and heat saber are also included, with the same sculpts as the MG Dwadge.

All in all, this kit is noteworthy for bringing the Dwadge Custom to life as a solid variation, and if you're a fan of hefty, heavyweight MS designs, it's definitely one worth adding to your wishlist. :-)
