The beam sabers plug in next to the hip joints, but the holders are loose and they fall out easily. -_-
In my case, I just glued them in place.

The RG Gundam Exia already had pretty limited hip articulation to begin with,
and with the thicker thighs it's become even harder to raise the legs.

Alongside the standard release RG Gundam Exia.
The sculpt has been changed in various places including the shoulders, thighs, forearms, shins, and rear skirt.

This kit is the RG Gundam Exia Repair II, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release RG Gundam Exiawith newly sculpted parts added. Unlike the RG Repair expansion partswhich required you to separately obtain the Exia body, this kit lets you build the Repair II completely on its own.

With the Repair II, the waist, forearms, shoulders, rear skirt, thighs, and front/rear shins have all been replaced with new sculpts. The original GN Sword has also been remodeled with a new blade section and becomes the GN Sword Kai. Quite a few more parts ended up being changed than I expected — the most noticeable difference is probably the disappearance of the holographic sheet on the thighs.

Everything else carries over from the original, including the Exia frame with its solid joint strength. The RG Gundam Exia already had a limited hip range of motion, but the beefed-up thighs on the Repair II make it even harder to lift the legs. Comparing it to the previously released MG Gundam Exia Repair II, the RG's thighs feel relatively thicker — either way, this kit ends up with one of the most restricted forward leg-raise ranges I've ever seen.

Aside from the pre-existing thigh articulation issue, the overall quality is pretty clean and well done. If you're a fan of Gundam Exia, this is definitely a kit worth building. :-)
