The four legs don't move sideways, so the range of motion isn't as wide as you might expect.

This is the HG Eldora Brute, released as part of the Build Divers Re:Rise series. Just looking at the design, it's clearly modeled after the Death Beast — the four-legged beast form of the Death Army. Three runners from the HGFC Death Army kit are reused here, and some runners are even labeled as HG Death Beast, a kit that hasn't been released yet. It seems like an HGFC Death Beast was planned at some point (possibly as a Club G exclusive?), and those runners were carried over into this kit ahead of time.

Anyway, since the Eldora series as a whole is based on the Death Army from G Gundam, this kit is essentially the Eldora version of the Death Beast. Only two new runners were added specifically for this kit, and the standout feature is the large weapon called the Tetra-Dent. The upper body is pretty much the same as the existing HGFC Death Army, and while the four-legged legs are new, there's no sideways movement — only joints that fold inward — so pulling off a wide variety of poses is harder than you'd think. That's probably a durability consideration, and honestly, with four legs to deal with, too many joints might actually make it harder to get a stable stance anyway.

All in all, the articulation and joint strength are solid enough that the finished kit feels very stable, and above all, being a rare four-legged quadruped kit is definitely a big selling point. :-)
