The sculpt is identical to the standard release, but the changed color scheme required separating those parts out into new runners.

Alongside the standard release RG Nu Gundam.

This kit is the RG Nu Gundam (First Lot Color Ver.), a Fukuoka Side-F exclusive. It's a straight color variant of the standard RG Nu Gundamwith the molded colors changed. Some parts are provided on new runners due to the updated color scheme.

So all the contents and features are identical to the standard release — it's still an RG kit that shows off top-tier quality, and for this review you really just need to pay attention to how the changed molded colors look. The gray, red, and blue parts that go into the torso are provided on new runners not found in the original kit. The sculpt is the same, but it's a nice touch that they went to the trouble of splitting those parts onto new runners to nail the accurate color scheme.

So at its core this is a color variant kit, but the colors come out really nicely. It's already one of the most acclaimed kits in the RG lineup, so if the new color scheme catches your eye, this is definitely a limited release worth picking up when you get the chance. :-)
