------ < HY2M-MG Common Info > ----------
The HY2M-MG series is part of the HY2M lineup released between 2002 and 2003, featuring 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 turns on remotely when a magnet is brought close. Each head comes with a small magnet, and by attaching it to a display stand or the back of the MG's neck with double-sided tape, you can switch the LED on remotely.

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

1. Zeta plated parts version light-up head
It's pretty much the same as the standard version light-up head, just with a plated finish added. If anything, the plating seems to make the already underwhelming light-up effect even worse. This head is compatible with the MG Zeta Gundam plated parts version released for Gundam's 20th anniversary.

2. Gundam GP02 plated parts version light-up head
Again, it's essentially the same as the standard version light-up head with a plated finish on top. The lack of color separation makes it look pretty plain, and the light-up effect is weak on top of that — pretty disappointing overall. This head is compatible with the officially released MG Gundam GP02 Special Coating version.

3. Zeta Plus C1 light-up head
Just like the Zeta Plus A1, the sculpt is similar to the original but the lack of color separation and stickers makes for a pretty bland look. The light-up effect is still barely noticeable, which is a real letdown for a light-up head. Set #12 is probably the weakest of the bunch when it comes to the light-up effect overall.
