Instead of an internal frame, it uses a mouth-opening mechanism.

Just like the Haro Basic Green, the hands have fixing pegs so they can hold weapons from other kits.

Arms and legs folded in.

The storage method inside the ears and on the stand base is the same as before.

Instead of a paper sheet, the manual is printed on the inside of the bottom box.

2 leftover parts remain.

Same limb articulation as before

Together with the Haro Basic Green

As a collaboration between Haropla and Hello Kitty, the Hello Kitty x Haro (Aniversary model) has been released. The basic build is identical to the Haro Basic Green — which swaps out the internal frame for a mouth-opening design — with Hello Kitty-style stickers applied on top. Ear-shaped parts and a ribbon part have also been newly added.

So the mouth-opening gimmick and the hands with fixing pegs for holding weapons are exactly the same as the existing Haro Basic Green. The Hello Kitty-style molded colors, stickers, ears, and ribbon all give it that signature cuteness. That said, the price has gone up quite a bit considering it only adds three parts and a few stickers — it comes in at ¥1000, twice the price of the original ¥500 Haropla. I'd guess the Hello Kitty license is probably to blame, but it's hard to give it high marks for value.

That said, it's not outrageously expensive in absolute terms, so for anyone who loves Hello Kitty, this should make for a fun little kit — almost like a special event gift. :-)
