Both the SD frame and CS frame are included for the arms and lower body, so you can pick whichever you prefer.
The torso doesn't use either of the standard frames, so it can't be swapped out.

The two beam parts can also be combined into a shield form.

This is the SDCS F-Kunoichi Kai released as part of the Gundam Build Metaverse series. It comes with both the SD frame and CS frame that are characteristic of SDCS kits. The upper body uses its own newly designed frame, so only the arm and lower body frames can be swapped out.

At its core, this kit is based on the concept of Gundam F91, and the name itself is a bit of a wordplay. "Kunoichi" originally refers to a female ninja, but it's also a play on the numbers in F91 — rearranged as 9-no-1 (ku-no-ichi) — which sounds identical in Japanese. It's basically a dad joke (...). As a result, the overall design and color scheme have a distinctly feminine feel, and the kit comes with a variety of options including both SD and CS frames.

First off, the equipment mounted on the back like a Buster can have its handle inserted in two different directions, and you can attach beam parts to the handle to use it as a beam kunai. The two beam parts used for the beam kunai can also be combined into a shield form. There are also clear heat fin parts that attach to the shoulders. You can swap the head out for a GM head with a mono-eye and the kanji "忍" (endure) engraved on it, or use the included joint parts to borrow the cape from BB Senshi Knight Gundam and attach it.

So it's a kit that offers plenty of options, and the base quality isn't much different from previous SDCS kits. Articulation is a bit limited as you'd expect from an SD kit, but switching to the CS frame at least lets you bend the elbows and knees, which helps a little. There are quite a few detachable parts, so some of them do pop off during posing, but as long as you handle it with a bit of care, it's nothing too frustrating.

All in all, it's a kit with solid SDCS-level quality and the unique appeal of a feminine ninja design. If you enjoyed Gundam Build Metaverse or the style catches your eye, it's definitely worth giving it a shot. :-)
