This kit is the HG Gundam Anima[Rize] released as part of the Build Divers Re:Rise series. It features the red Core Gundam Rize, and while the armor is applied in a similar fashion to the Planet System, the overall setup is a bit different from previous entries.

The inner frame uses the Core Gundam Rize, which has a revised head antenna and beam saber unit, and the arm and leg armor each feature emblems symbolizing the power of the tiger, lion, wolf, and bear. These limbs can be posed alongside the Core Gundam Rize using a separate stand. Two beam parts are included — a standard beam saber form and a whip-style beam whip — and the articulation and joint strength are solid, just like the previous kits.

Runner reuse means there are quite a few leftover parts, and even the support mecha parts end up as leftovers. As you can see in the photos above, you can still mount the armor on them just like other kits. On top of that, the Earthree Gundam runners are reused here, and the original Earthree armor pieces are randomly molded in clear plastic — then tossed out as leftover parts. You could use them on the Earthree Gundam if you like, but since you can't swap everything over to full clear, it's a bit of an awkward situation.

So this kit stands out for its clean looks and surprisingly versatile leftover parts (?) . The quality is more than good enough, so if the style appeals to you, go ahead and grab it without hesitation :-)
