Together with the previously released HG Dilanza (Guel's unit).

This kit is the HG Dilanza Standard Type / Lauda's Dilanza from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. Compared to the previously released HG Dilanza (Guel's unit), the head antenna, shoulder decorations, rear skirt, and backpack design have all been changed, and a large heat axe has been added as a new weapon.

True to its name, you can swap out the head antenna, shoulder armor, and backpack parts to build either the standard type or Lauda's Dilanza. The basic frame is the same as the existing Dilanza, so it boasts great articulation relative to its size along with solid joint strength. Being polycap-less, the joints feel a bit stiff to move, but at least they're not loose, so poses hold really well. It also carries over the feature from Guel's unit where the beam rifle and beam torch can be stored inside the shoulder shield.

Since the changes are essentially just the molded colors and a few design tweaks, there isn't a whole lot that's structurally new to look at. That said, it's a kit that delivers a comfortably solid level of quality, so if you like the look of it, feel free to go ahead and grab one. :-)
