------ < HY2M-MG Common Info > ----------
The HY2M-MG series is part of the HY2M lineup released between 2002 and 2003, and features LED light-up units built into MG heads. Each kit includes three MG light-up heads, and the sculpts tend to differ slightly from the original MG heads. All light-up heads share the same LED unit structure, with the LED color varying by kit — white, green, or red. There's no external switch on these LED units; instead, they use a Hall IC that remotely switches ON when a magnet comes close. Each head comes with a small magnet, and by attaching it to a stand or the back of the MG's neck with double-sided tape, you can remotely turn the LED on.

--------------------------------------------------

1. Zaku II Black Tri-Stars Light-Up Head
Much like the Char's Zaku II, the sculpt is nearly identical to the original — though the power cable section is done in simple plastic parts, which leaves a bit to be desired detail-wise. The light-up effect itself is excellent thanks to the mono-eye design, and it'd be pretty much perfect if you just swapped in the power cable from the original.

2. Zaku I Black Tri-Stars Light-Up Head
Just like the mass-production Zaku I, the sculpt comes out nearly identical to the original, and the mono-eye gives it a great light-up effect.

3. Char's Gelgoog Light-Up Head
Similar to the Gelgoog Cannon, the sculpt feels slightly more squished than the original, which reduces the mono-eye's exposed area. Due to the design, only about half of the light source is visible even though it's a mono-eye, which is a bit of a letdown — but compared to Gundam-type heads, the light-up effect is still pretty good.
