A tiny Petit'gguy-style Kapool is also included.

You can see some hollow areas on the back of the arms.

Open the head hatch and remove the Petit Kapool's arms and legs, and you can seat it inside.

Both the Momokapool and Petit Kapool come with 6 different eye seals each.

Even without applying the eye seals, the eyes already have color separation built in.

The arms and legs have a partial inner frame structure.

The Momokapool is the 4th Build Divers HG kit to be released. It's based on the Kapool from Turn A Gundam, and comes out looking like a Haro-style body with Hygog-like arms attached.

Since the structure is quite different from your typical MS, there are a bunch of unique features to note. Like the Kapool, the chest armor and head hatch both open and close. Remove the arms and close up the armor panels and you can put it into ball mode, and the arms and legs also have a partial inner frame structure going on.

The kit also includes a tiny Petit Kapool, and you can remove its arms and legs and seat it inside the Momokapool's head hatch. Both the Momokapool and Petit Kapool each come with 6 different eye shape seals, so you can recreate a variety of expressions.

The joint strength is solid overall, so whatever pose you put it in holds up well. The 5 small claws have a limited range of motion, but they can each be moved individually. Since the design naturally lends itself to wide arm-spread poses, it's really satisfying that the joints are sturdy enough to hold those positions without any trouble.

All in all, this kit wins you over with its cuteness, and the build quality is clean and tidy — so if the style appeals to you, it's an easy recommendation. :-)
