This is the OLD 1/100 G Falcon Unit Double X from the Gundam X series. It's a combined kit of the existing 1/100 Double X Gundam with the G Falcon included — though in exchange, the extra weapons set that came with the original Double X Gundam has been left out.

The G Falcon comes packed with all sorts of gimmicks — you can separate the front A parts from the B parts and swap the various locking mechanisms in and out. This lets it combine not only with Double X Gundam, but also with Gundam Airmaster Burst and Gundam Leopard D.

Visually, the large size and bold color combination give it a strong presence, but the molded colors look a bit cheap in person, which is a little disappointing. (The photos actually make it look better than it really is.) The G Falcon itself has quite a few moving parts, which makes it hard to hold poses, and the parts don't lock together all that securely — so the overall build quality isn't quite what you'd hope for.

That said, it does have a great silhouette, and combining it with various mobile suits is genuinely fun to play around with. If you paint it, it could really come alive as a pretty spectacular piece of armament. Anyway, plenty of people are drawn to it for that big, flashy look — and as long as you don't go in with sky-high expectations, it's a quirky old-school kit that can be a pretty enjoyable build. :-)
