This kit is the Omega Color version of the HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 2, released as a Bandai Online Shop exclusive. It's a side-story unit from "Mobile Suit Gundam Katana," serialized in Monthly Gundam Ace, and is essentially the same kit as the original Unit 2 with only the molded colors changed. Lore-wise it's said to be equipped with the Neo EXAM system, but just looking at the colors, nothing really feels structurally different ^^;

As you can see, it's a straightforward color variant exclusive — but to achieve the new color combination, an extra C runner in a different color has been added to the package. Since the basic kit composition is otherwise 100% identical to the original, please refer to the HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 2 reviewfor more details.

Since this is a kit from the early-to-mid HGUC era, the overall quality is clean enough, but the articulation feels a bit stiff, which makes some poses look slightly unnatural. On the flip side, the joint strength is solid, so it holds poses well. Either way, it's a simple color variant with no major new features, but if you enjoyed Gundam Katana, this could be a pretty meaningful exclusive to add to your collection. :-)
