Alongside the existing HGUC Silver Bullet.
Aside from the different backpack design, it's essentially a color variant kit.

This kit is the HGUC Silver Bullet Funnel Test Type, released as a Club G exclusive. The base body is the same as the original Silver Bullet, but the exterior color has been changed to a combination of light sky blue and deep blue, and the backpack design has been revised.

This kind of light sky blue molded color can sometimes look cheap, but they've pulled it off nicely with a bright pastel tone. Either way, the real highlights of this kit are the newly added funnels and the redesigned backpack to match.

The two funnels facing each other in a stacked arrangement are reproduced cleanly and can be detached. The spot where the funnels attach can be covered with a cover panel, though it's not articulated — it's a removable piece instead. The binders on either side of the redesigned backpack have taken on a more angular shape compared to the original, and the flip-open anti-ship missiles have been dropped.

It's a big kit overall, but the joint strength is decent enough that posing it isn't really a problem. The structure doesn't lend itself to super dynamic poses, but it's such a detailed and flashy suit that just standing it up looks plenty cool. ^^

Either way, the Silver Bullet Funnel Test Type is a kit worth having simply for the fact that it got a limited release at all — if you're after a Silver Bullet in fresh colors with funnels attached, this one's an easy recommendation. :-)
