------ < HY2M-MG General 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 comes with 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 gets close. Each head comes with a small magnet, and by attaching it to a display stand or the back of an MG's neck with double-sided tape, you can switch the LED on remotely.

For detailed info on the LED unit itself, check out the detailed LED unit reviewfrom Kit No. 1.
--------------------------------------------------

1. Gundam GP01 Plated Version Light-Up Head
It's pretty much the same as the regular non-plated light-up head, just with a plated finish added. If anything, the plating seems to make the light-up effect even worse than it already was. This head is compatible with the officially released MG GP01FB Special Plated Version.

2. Gundam GP03 Plated Version Light-Up Head
Again, it's basically the same as the regular non-plated light-up head with a plated finish added. Just like the GP01, the plating makes the already underwhelming light-up effect even worse. The GP03 never got a Special Plated Version release like the GP01 and GP02, though it did come out as an event-exclusive plated version at one point.

3. Guncannon Plated Version Light-Up Head
Same deal — it's the regular non-plated light-up head with a plated finish, and the light-up effect feels a bit worse for it. That said, it's still better than the GP01 and GP03 heads included in the kit — not that it matters much, since I don't have the Guncannon plated version to actually try it on.
