This is the MG Gundam W EW Series Expansion Parts Set (Glory of Losers), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. The set includes three expansion parts in total: the Houtie equipment for the MG Altron Gundam EW, the heat saber equipment for the MG Tallgeese II EW, and the Hornet equipment for the MG Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW.

The Houtie equipment for the Club G MG Altron Gundam EW consists of a backpack with wings and beam cannons, along with additional parts for color separation and assembly. True to its name — Houtie meaning butterfly — the wings spread out like butterfly wings and come with articulated tail-like beam cannons. On top of that, you get replacement parts to reproduce the correct color settings for the shoulders and forearms, plus replacement inner frame parts to connect the Houtie equipment to the backpack.

The heat saber equipment for the Club G MG Tallgeese II EW can be stored by adding a storage piece to the existing shield joint parts. The mounting method — inserting the saber from the bottom up against gravity — had me a little worried about how well it would hold, but it actually stays in place just fine. A dedicated hand for gripping the heat saber is also included, so grip issues are taken care of too.

The Hornet equipment for the standard release MG Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW attaches to the side skirts and can rotate and deploy. As a bonus, you can swap out parts on the existing beam scythes to recreate them as twin beam scythes.

All three sets of equipment fit their respective kits really well. The previously released Glory of Losers MG kits — all four of them — came with extra weapons bundled together with the base kit, but this time around they've just collected three weapon sets and released them on their own, leaving you to source the base kits yourself. Both approaches have their pros and cons, but either way, the fact that we can now build a full lineup of seven Glory of Losers MG kits is pretty significant. :-)
