This kit is the SD EX-Standard Hello Kitty / RX-78 Gundam, released as a collaboration between SD EX-Standard and Hello Kitty. It takes the existing EX-Standard First Gundam, adds gloss injection, and bundles it together with Hello Kitty. The Hello Kitty figure shows off excellent color separation, giving it a cute yet clean look.

The build feel and overall shape of Hello Kitty is somewhat similar to Figure-rise Mechanics. The articulation is simple, but the legs fold all the way forward, so you can actually pull off a sitting pose. Accessories include an apple and an apple-shaped stand, and there's even a giant Gundam head thrown in so you can combine the First Gundam with Kitty's head.

The combined form is a little grotesque, but it's got a quirky charm that's oddly cute. Personally, I prefer Hello Kitty on her own. That said, the price comes in at ¥2400, which feels a bit steep for what you get — probably due to licensing costs. Either way, if you're into adorable little kits like this, it's definitely one worth picking up. :-)
