As shown above, the handle can be extended in two stages,
and the mace at the back can be detached for separate use as well.

Fully extended, it's nearly 40cm long — incredibly lengthy.

Honestly, you could probably carry this around for self-defense..

Two rocket launchers are also included.

I originally planned to detach the mace from the back of the Valkyria Buster Sword and put it in the left hand, but I forgot. ^^;
(That would've looked a bit more dynamic, though)

This kit is the Expansion Parts Set for MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's an accessory kit designed to be used with the MG Gundam Barbatos Lupusreleased as a standard retail kit. It includes battle-damaged parts to recreate scenes from the show, along with various weapons and accessories.

First, for the head parts, you'll need to fully disassemble the existing head and reassemble it part by part. It recreates the limiter-released red eyes, broken antenna, effect parts, and the damaged left head armor. On top of that, there's a blue effect part for the left shoulder and a replacement shoulder joint to recreate the damaged right arm. Swapping the parts is a bit of a hassle, but it does feel like everything has been recreated with decent attention to detail.

The massive Valkyria Buster Sword measures a whopping 40cm when the handle is fully extended, and a lot of people have noted that it came out oversized compared to the source material. The mace at the back can be detached and used as a separate weapon, and a dedicated set of hands is included so you can lock it in with a solid grip. A clear stand is also included to support the Valkyria Buster Sword depending on the pose — though since the base kit has pretty good joint strength, it can hold most poses on its own without the stand.

All in all, this is a solid accessory kit that applies without any real hassle. Despite the massive weapon, the combination of the dedicated hands and the base kit's firm hold means posing is virtually stress-free — and that's a big plus. Either way, if you've got the MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus, this seems like a kit well worth picking up for some extra fun :-)
