Sword Impulse Gundam

Box Open

The box art on this one is pretty striking too.. (click to enlarge~)

Runners added for the Sword Impulse Gundam.

I got the Japanese domestic version, which has sharp sword tips.
When exporting to Western markets, parts that are too sharp aren't allowed,
so they end up molding separate versions — sharp ones for the domestic market and blunt ones for the export market.

Taking a closer look at the L runner..
Using the single shared part in the middle as a reference, the left side is the Force Pack portion that appeared in the existing MG Force Impulse Gundam,
and the upper right is the new runner for the Sword Pack this time around.
If you look carefully, the lower right is left empty as a system injection zone..
which suggests they're at least giving some thought to a Blast Impulse release. (Though whether it'll actually come out is anyone's guess..)
