Alongside the HG Local-Type Gundam North American Battle Specification.
Only the torso and some weapons have been changed.

The Gundam FSD has been released in the HG Origin lineup as a variation of the HG Local-Type Gundam North American Battle Specification. FSD stands for Full Scale Development, referring to a pre-production type unit that appears in The Origin Sidestory: Cucuruz Doan's Island. It's a kit based on the existing HG Local-Type Gundam North American Battle Specification with a revised torso design and some additional weapons.

Visually, the addition of a gatling gun on the right arm and a large shield on the left arm stands out far more than the tweaked upper body design. The gatling gun is connected via an ammo belt to a tank that mounts on the side skirt, which gives it a pretty cool look. The large shield also features a fold-in-half function, and all the weapons from the original North American Battle Spec are still included as well.

The base kit — the HG Local-Type Gundam — already delivers solid joint strength and excellent articulation, so the overall quality is still A-grade. If you like the design, this seems like a high-quality HG kit well worth picking up. :-)
