You can swap out the tip parts of the shield to attach the Heat Rod,
though it feels a bit on the short side.

A newly sculpted Zechs Merquise figure is included too!

Same hand and beam parts configuration as before.

This kit is the RG Tallgeese III released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release RG Tallgeese EWwith changed molded colors and newly added sculpts. The head, shoulders, and back of the neck have been redesigned, and a number of new weapons have been added.

The newly sculpted weapons include the Mega Cannon, shield, and Heat Rod, along with a new 1/144 Zechs Merquise figure. The Mega Cannon features a deployment gimmick at the front, and the tip of the shield can be swapped out to attach and detach the Heat Rod. The Heat Rod has a wire built inside, so you can bend and hold it in various directions — though it came out shorter than expected, which makes it a bit tricky to pull off really dynamic poses.

The rest of the main body structure is the same as before, so it's a solid RG kit with decent articulation and joint strength. For this review, you'll really just want to take a close look at the redesigned head, shoulders, and back of the neck, along with the new weapons. The weapons are a bit bulkier than before, but the body holds up well, so standing and posing don't seem to be much of an issue — which is a relief.

Anyway, with all the new sculpts added, this kit has a much stronger sense of originality compared to the RG Tallgeese II, which only differed in the head sculpt. If you're a fan of the Tallgeese series, this is definitely a kit worth building — should be a fun one! :-)
