Together with the MG Gundam Astraea Type F (Full Weapon Set) released through Club G.

This kit is the MG Gundam Astraea + Proto GN Twin Broad Blade, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the MG Gundam Astraea Type F
(Full Weapon Set)released through Club G, with some weapons removed and the main body's molded color changed to white. On top of that, the Proto GN Twin Broad Blade has been added as a new weapon.

Since the main body and most of the weapons are the same as before, you can focus mainly on the changed molded colors in this review. It's a base kit from 2009, but it still holds up with solid articulation and joint strength. The newly added Proto GN Twin Broad Blade is impressively large for such a simple build — you can combine the two together or insert the GN Blade inside, and it can be mounted on the forearm, waist, or calves using joint parts.

When holding the Proto GN Twin Broad Blade in hand, you can use the forearm locking gimmick from the GN Sword as-is, so you don't have to worry about it staying secure. That said, holding it in combined form with just the hand's grip alone is a bit unstable. That's where the included clear Action Base 7 comes in handy — you can use it to help hold poses when needed.

Now, the Action Base 7 is originally designed for HG-scale kits, but it's sturdy enough that it can hold an MG reasonably well too. The base itself is solid, but the joint parts that grip the crotch area of the main body are a bit loose, so aerial poses can feel a little shaky.

So at long last, the white Astraea has gotten the MG treatment — and rather than being a simple color variant, it comes with a new weapon added to sweeten the deal. If you've been waiting for an original MG Astraea, this is a must-have, and even if you're just drawn to the look, it's a perfectly enjoyable MG kit for anyone to build. :-)
