The shoulder GN Drives are also LED-equipped, but I didn't have the right button cell batteries so I skipped those.

This kit is the PG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G Inspection, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release PG 00 Gundam Seven Swordwith the molded colors swapped out for the Inspection color scheme. True to the nature of the Inspection concept, there's no new tooling here — it's a 100% color variant kit.

So for this review, just paying close attention to the color changes should be enough. Compared to the MG Inspection, the colors feel slightly darker here. Thanks to that sculpt-like appearance, the detail and three-dimensionality still look really impressive even in the Inspection colors — I actually found myself thinking "wait, was this kit always this good-looking?" after finishing the build. That said, the short retaining pins mean the shoulders and legs tend to pop off easily, which is a drawback carried over from the original, so you'll want to be careful when posing.

So yes, it's a straightforward color variant, but it's a high-quality PG kit where the Inspection colors really work well. It definitely has a different kind of charm compared to the original blue color scheme, so if you're a PG fan and the style appeals to you, this seems like a PG you can enjoy to the fullest. :-)
