Together with the normal Graze.
The head, shoulders, chest, and backpack have been changed.

The 4th HG kit from Iron-Blooded Orphans is the Graze Custom, a variation of the Graze. It reuses most of the existing Graze while featuring redesigned head, shoulders, chest, and backpack.

Since 80% of the body is shared with the HG Graze, all the construction and articulation characteristics are identical as well. Along with a matte molded color that looks almost painted, it delivers solid joint strength and smooth articulation — an A-grade kit all around. That said, aside from a few changed exterior parts, the weapons are also 100% identical to the Graze, so it's hard to call it a particularly distinctive release.

Anyway, having the HG Graze come out twice in a row as variations does make it feel a little repetitive, but it's still a high-quality kit that's genuinely satisfying to build, so I can definitely recommend it to anyone as a great HG kit. :-)
