MG Crossbone Gundam X1 (Patchwork) Ver.Ka - Together with the Crossbone Gundam X3 released through Club G. The main body

Together with the Crossbone Gundam X3 released through Club G.
The main body is completely identical except for the right shoulder color.

This kit is the MG Crossbone Gundam X1 (Patchwork) Ver.Ka, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. The main body is based on the MG Crossbone Gundam X3 Ver.Kareleased through Club G, with only the right shoulder's molded color changed to X1 colors. On top of that, a hook shield has been added as a new weapon.

True to its name "Patchwork," the design concept is a mix of the X1 and X3. The forearms use the X3's design, and the shoulders are a blend of X1 and X3 colors. The newly added hook shield is cleanly reproduced as you'd expect from an MG kit, and you can display the hook in its deployed state using the included wire. Everything else — the main body and standard weapons — is identical to the X3, so joint strength is still good, with just a slight bit of looseness here and there.

It's essentially a color variant with a new weapon thrown in, but that addition does give it some reason to exist. The colors and overall quality are solid enough, so if the look appeals to you, this should be a fun kit to build. :-)
