This kit is the Gundam Base limited edition HG Zaku II Char's Custom [Metallic]. It's based on the HG Origin Char's Zaku IIreleased in the Gundam The Origin series, with the molded color changed to metallic. As a bonus, a blue Gundam Base exclusive display base is included.

So all the contents and features are identical to the original — in this review, you really just need to pay attention to the changed molded colors. Since it's based on the well-received HG Origin Zaku, it delivers refined quality across the board in terms of articulation, joint strength, and overall proportions. Unlike the shiny gloss of gross injection, this one has a more subtle, understated metallic sheen. The color scheme does a great job of bringing out that metallic feel overall, giving it a distinctly different look from the original kit.

All in all, this is a solid metallic molded color limited edition. If the unique molded color suits your taste, this Gundam Base limited edition is excellent quality and a fun, easy build to enjoy. :-)
