This kit is the MG Gundam Astray Outframe D, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the MG Testament Gundamreleased through Club G, it features changed molded colors and a number of newly sculpted parts. Switching to the original Gundam coloring gives it a very different feel.

Starting with the main body, the head and chest designs have been changed — though honestly, the new molded colors make an even bigger impression than the design changes themselves. A newly designed backpack with multi-jointed sub-arms has been added, and the new weapons include a beam rifle, Gun Camera, and Armor Schneider. The backpack's sub-arms can be deployed and positioned at various angles, and you can mount the beam rifle and Gun Camera on them. Thankfully, the weapon attachment points and the sub-arms themselves hold their position well, so whatever angle or direction you place the weapons, the pose stays stable.

The main body shares the same structure as the MG Testament Gundam, so it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength. It's a lot of fun to use the new sub-arms and weapons to pull off all kinds of unique poses. As a variation kit with a distinctive look and some great weapon action, this seems like a fantastic kit worth recommending not just to SEED fans, but to all Gunpla fans. :-)
