Comparison with the MG Drei Zwerg.
The detail and gimmicks are nearly identical, though the shape of the handle section has changed slightly.

This kit is the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW & Drei Zwerg [Titanium Finish], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release RG Wing Gundam Zero EWwith a coating applied to the armor, plus the Drei Zwerg added to the lineup. It shares the same concept as the MG Wing Gundam Zero EW & Drei Zwerg
[Special Coating] that was previously released through Club G.

Unlike the MG which had a pearl mirror coating, the RG comes with a titanium finish. It has a shiny, deep luster to it, though gate marks tend to show up quite visibly, which is a bit of a shame. Everything except the Drei Zwerg runners is identical to the existing RG, so all the structural features are the same as well — for this review, you can probably just focus on the look of the plated surface and the Drei Zwerg itself.

The newly added Drei Zwerg delivers the same level of functionality as the MG version. The separation into three Messer Zwergs and the combination with the Buster Rifle are both well executed. On top of that, a support stand is included to prop up the weapon during posing. There's also a bonus shoulder brace part that slots into the back of the shoulder to keep the arm from drooping when you raise it horizontally and have it holding the weapon.

Worth noting — the Drei Zwerg runners in this kit aren't new tooling. They're actually recycled from the runners that came as a bonus with the February 2015 issue of Monthly Gundam Ace magazine. The only change is that the molded color has been switched from dark gray to metallic, but it does pair nicely with the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW.

As a variation kit built around coating + additional weapons, it delivers both a great-looking finish and solid functionality — though the visible gate marks may be a dealbreaker for some people (especially on the wings). That said, if you're a Wing Gundam fan or you've been eyeing the Drei Zwerg in 1/144 scale, this is definitely a kit worth going for. :-)
