Among the three druggies' HG kits, the Calamity Gundam was the first to be released in the SEED Remaster version. Since it follows the same concept as the previous remaster kits, this is really just a kit where you look for the subtle differences.

First off, the molded colors have changed overall — broadly speaking, they've shifted to deeper, heavier tones. The base teal and dark green molded colors have been changed to a darker, more blue-leaning shade with the green largely stripped out, white has become a light gray, and the joints and weapons have been switched to metallic molding. All these subtle color changes come together to give it a noticeably different feel from the original version. You could say it looks heavier and more imposing?

The rest of the features aren't much different from the other kits — seals have been added to the shoulders and shield, and stand joint parts B are included. The joints also feel slightly more secure thanks to the switch to metallic molding, same as before.

Anyway, the original kit itself already had a pretty clean look among the HG SEED lineup, so the slightly upgraded Remaster version delivers solid quality as well. The real question isn't so much the quality, but whether the kit itself is popular enough to sell ^^;;
