------ < HY2M-MG Common Notes > ----------
The HY2M-MG series is part of the HY2M lineup released between 2002 and 2003, and these kits come with LED light-up units fitted into MG heads. Each kit includes three MG light-up heads, and they tend to differ slightly in sculpt 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 stand or the back of an MG's neck with double-sided tape, you can switch the LED on remotely.

For detailed information on the LED unit itself, please refer to Kit No. 1's detailed LED unit reviewfor more info.

1. Nu Gundam light-up head
It's pretty similar to the existing normal version light-up head — the only addition is the plated finish. The light-up effect still isn't great, though. This head can be used with the MG Nu Gundam metallic coating version, but the semi-gloss metallic body and the glossy plated light-up head do look a bit mismatched.

2. Gundam Mk-II light-up head & 3. ZZ Gundam light-up head
Again, it's basically the same as the normal version light-up head with a plated finish added. The ZZ Gundam's LED still comes out pretty dim — probably a clear parts issue — and the difference is really noticeable compared to the Mk-II. Either way, I didn't have the plated kits for either of them, so I couldn't try them out. ^^;
