Whoa! These metallic coated kits came out in 1999 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gundam; for some strange reason (maybe to promote the upcoming 20th anniversary of the 20th anniversary), Bandai has produced them again in limited quantities! The build and accessories are the same as the Ver 1.0 model kits, but it's finished in an incredibly flashy metallic-plated look! We're going to go ahead and say you just should NOT transform this, but if you must, at least buy a second so that you can have one posed in each form. It's just not worth the fuss otherwise.
