This kit is the RG Gundam Exia Repair IV, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Following the previous Club G releases of the RG Gundam Exia Repair Parts Set, RG Gundam Exia Repair II, RG Gundam Exia Repair III , we've now gotten all the way to the fourth unit. Using the existing RG Gundam Exia+ Repair III runners as a base, a whopping 9 new tooling runners have been added.
Lore-wise, this is apparently the personal unit of Graham Aker, who became a new Gundam Meister after the ELS invasion — as depicted in the reading live performed at "Gundam 00 Festival 10 Re:vision," the 10th anniversary event for "Mobile Suit Gundam 00," which covered events after the theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam 00: A Wakening of the Trailblazer." (Phew... that official description is way too long.)
The main body design is based on Repair III, with the shoulder armor changed and the left arm and chest reworked into a battle-damaged and repaired form. Most of the new tooling parts are concentrated in the new Seven Sword, which has grown larger and more elaborate. The seven blades — GN Tachi, GN Battle Sword x2, GN Battle Blade x2, and GN Bayonet x2 — can all be stored on the GN Shield and the rear arm, and each blade has its own gimmick that allows for various deployment configurations.
The quality of the base body is the same as the RG Gundam Exia it's built on — still a clean, well-made kit. The thick thigh joints limiting hip articulation is the same issue as Repair III, though overall joint strength is excellent. That said, the neck ball joint being a bit loose is also unchanged, so the head tends to rotate on its own every now and then. Even so, the kit holds a stable upright stance and poses well even with the large new Seven Sword equipped.
It's an exemplary variation kit with a ton of new tooling added, though the amount of leftover parts is record-breaking. It's still an RG kit where the tiny parts demand your full concentration during assembly, but that small yet intricate feel stays true to the RG concept. Either way, the base quality is solid and the design looks great, so if the style appeals to you or you're a fan of the Exia series, this is definitely a kit worth recommending. :-)
