This kit lets you build both the Normal and Double Bullet configurations.

A dedicated stand with storage functionality is also included.

Once you build the Normal configuration, the leftover parts can be stored on the stand.

Just like the SD AGE-1, the head section comes off like a helmet.

To transform into Strider form, you first need to disassemble the parts as shown.

Looks pretty cool~

Following the AGE-1, the SD Gundam AGE-2 has now been released — and just like its predecessor, it comes as a combo/swap kit that includes both the Normal and Double Bullet variations.

The overall kit quality and feel is identical to the SD AGE-1, sporting a modern SD proportion and a reasonably solid color separation. Swapping between the Normal and Double Bullet feels slightly more fiddly than with the AGE-1 — changing out the forearm and foot parts is a bit of a hassle. ^^;

One thing that sets it apart from the AGE-1 is that both the Normal and Double Bullet can transform into Strider form as per the show's design. True to SD fashion, it's a simple swap-style transformation — just pop a few parts off and back on and you're done. And just like the AGE-1, a dedicated stand is included for storing the leftover swap parts, so everything can be neatly put away in one place after transforming.

It doesn't have any standout gimmicks, but as a combo kit covering both the Normal and Double Bullet, it delivers a clean package with solid quality — making it a well-rounded SD kit that AGE fans should definitely appreciate. :-)
