Comment
High Complete Model Progressive, first announce by Bandai on April 2004, is a series of almost-completed poseable models with superb design and engineering giving them exceptional mobility and realistic posing. The new HCM Pro items are, in contrast, precision scale models. The designs are perfect scale replicas of the original designs, as if they were Master Grade kits that had been reduced to half their original size. They are made of hard plastic (with PVC joints), have superb coloring and markings, and feature far more details than the MSIA figures (there's even inner details revealed by removing some of the parts!).

The last HCM Pro, RX-77-2 Guncannon, that I purchase was about 2 years ago. I did not think that HCM Pro is worth collecting. Moreover, the price are a tad high for such small piece of plastic. I am buying this box set just because it is on sales at Low Yat Plaza.

 
 
 
 

Packaging
Since this is a set release, the packaging is different from your standard HCM Pro boxes. It comes 3 piece of HCM Pro includes the Char Z'Gok and 2 identical Acguys. This set comes with exclusive 3 pieces of "stepping out of water" diorama base. As the usual HCM, the figures comes with additional parts that come in loose parts and others in runners.

 
 
   
 

MSM-07S Z'Gok
This is the S-version of Z'Gok that mean it is the personal Mobile Suit use by Char Aznabel. It is colored in pink, identifying him as the "Red Comet". There is no external weapon provided for this unit. The only accessories provided for this unit is a spanner-like piece of plastic use solely to position its mono-eye.

   
 
 
   

MSM-04 Acguy
These 2 are the standard production type Acguy as seen in Gundam anime series. Additional accessories includes 4 pieces of arm extension (2 pieces for each side) and its shoulder ball-joint. These parts are use to replicate Acguy in extended arm mode. It's claw can be replace with arm beam cannon with the additional parts provided.

   
   
   
   
 

Conclusion
This is not recommended unless you are intending to create a diorama out of these items. The additional special base does not justify for the purchase. I will most probably throw that away and remake my water diorama.
