HGUC 1/144 RGM-89M Jegan B Type Unboxing (Premium Bandai Online Exclusive)

Received my order from Gentei Kits last week.
The box condition is pristine unlike the one I got from  Nippon-yasan and they shipped out the order pretty fast too. 
However, I am still "lucky" enough that Gentei Kits messed up my pre-order and only sent me one box instead of two.
They promised to send me the missing Jegan ASAP but I suspect that won't happen until they receive the second run in May.

 Mar 17 Update : Got the remaining Jegan today, box also in pristine condition!

The box art is quite plain, just a bunch of Jegans posing together . 

Overview
Like the previous exclusive Jegan from F91, you can build a complete original Jegan from Char's Counter Attack.


These two little runners are the reasons you buy this kit.


Out of Box Build

Really like the new backpack, making the Jegan more in line  with F91 mech design.
Notice that this Jegan has two light sabers and they are now stored in left arm.
You can have three light sabers if you use the parts from original Jegan runner.


From left to right: Original Jegan from CCA, Jegan Normal Type from F91, Jegan B Type.


Weapon comparison.
The new  beam rifle has two pieces but it still looks pretty nice.




Besides the main body, beam rifle, missile pods and the addition of two square thrusters on the back,
the vulcan pod and blade antenna are also slightly different from standard F91 Jegan.


Swapping painted parts from the standard F91 Jegan. 


The ABS plastic on this kit is quite soft and feels more like the new PS plastic found in HGBF kits. 
It makes the joint more durable and much less prone to break.
Not sure this will hold true when painted though.
