Only one new-sculpt part is included — the head top cover.
As you can see, it's shaped so the head sits just a little lower in height.

This kit is the Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive RG High Mobility Type Zaku II (Team Monstrol Custom). It's essentially based on the Club G exclusive RG Black Tri-Stars Zaku IIwith the molded color swapped out for Char's color scheme. It was also released alongside the Club G exclusive RG RX-78-2 Gundam (Team Bright Custom)as a unit that appeared in "Gundam Build Real," the video work produced to commemorate Gundam's 40th anniversary.

So the weapons, accessories, and structural features are all the same as the existing RG High Mobility Zakus. The high mobility unit still hurts leg articulation, and the foot grip isn't great either. Aside from that, the joint strength and overall sculpt quality are excellent as you'd expect from an RG. On top of that, the head top cover gets a newly sculpted part with a slightly lower profile, and waterslide decals have been added separately from the existing seals, letting you add some nice accent details here and there.

So for this review, you really just need to pay close attention to the changed molded colors, the head sculpt, and where the waterslide decals go. The real appeal here is simply that the RG High Mobility Zaku is now available in Char's colors. Either way, if you're a fan of the RG Zaku lineup or you're into the idea of combining Char's color scheme with the High Mobility Zaku, this is definitely a kit worth picking up :-)
