Thanks to that, the price quietly crept up from ¥5300 to ¥6000..

This kit is the MG Re-GZ (Char's Counterattack Ver.), a Side-F exclusive. The original MG Re-GZwas released as a general retail kit in 2001, and then in 2019 a heavily revised version with updated molded colors came out as a Club-G exclusive — MG Re-GZ (Unicorn Ver.)This kit is simply a color variant of that revised Unicorn Ver., brought back to the original color scheme.

So all the features are completely identical to the Unicorn Ver. — it's essentially the same kit with the colors reverted back to the original scheme. The colors are similar to the original MG Re-GZ, though if you look closely they feel a touch deeper. The changes that came with the Unicorn Ver. included revised upper body/head/forearm sculpts, a rotating hip joint, swappable fingers, beam sabers, and more. It wasn't a complete overhaul, but it felt like roughly a v1.5 upgrade — for the detailed differences, check out the MG Re-GZ (Unicorn Ver.) review.

As for the B.W.S., it's included with the same sculpt as the original release, just like the Unicorn Ver. One notable addition is a black action base that wasn't included with the Unicorn Ver. That said, while this kit boasts a clean look and improved joints over the Unicorn Ver., the 2001-era base does show its age in a few spots — like the bolt-assembled leg joints and the B.W.S. feeling a bit bare somehow.

In that sense, this kit is meaningful as an original-color MG Re-GZ that incorporates all those improvements. The subtitle "(Char's Counterattack Ver.)" is a bit of an odd name though, since the Re-GZ was a Char's Counterattack unit to begin with. It probably would've made more sense to just call it MG Re-GZ v1.5 — it feels like a name they forced on it just to distinguish it from the older kit and the Unicorn Ver.

Anyway, if you were a bit disappointed by the murky Unicorn-colored Re-GZ, this is a kit that lets you build an improved MG Re-GZ in its original colors. As long as you keep in mind that the underlying frame is a bit dated, the overall content is generous for the price and the value is solid. If you're a fan of the Char's Counterattack lineup, this seems like a fun MG limited kit worth picking up. :-)
