This kit is the RE/100 Gyunei Guss's Jagd Doga [Special Coating], a Fukuoka Side-F exclusive release. It's a plated version of the previously released standard RE/100 Gyunei Guss's Jagd Doga— though not the entire exterior is coated. Only select armor pieces have the coating, while the rest are handled with metallic molded color.

The bright gold plated surfaces feature a clean semi-gloss Extra Finish-style coating. The remaining exterior uses metallic molded color, and notably the black runners even include a pearl finish. This gives the whole kit a consistently metallic feel that really sets it apart visually from the standard release. That said, there are only 2 plated runners included, and the price has more than doubled from ¥4,500 to ¥9,900.

The original kit itself was already massive — MG Sazabi-class big — and the joints were already a bit shaky because of that. With this kit, the metallic molded color does make things slightly tighter, but the polycap joints still struggle to support the size and weight. It's not so bad that it's floppy or can't stand on its own, but lifting those heavy legs is tough, so posing options are pretty limited. Ultimately, this is the kind of kit where the sheer volume and presence does all the talking just standing there on display.

So while it does come out as a pretty distinctive plated version, the iffy joints and questionable value for money are a bit of a letdown. That said, given the massive size and visual impact, ¥9,900 doesn't feel completely unreasonable. Either way, if you're a fan of plated kits and large-scale builds, this is definitely worth going for. :-)
