This kit is the HG Brutishdog released as part of the Votoms series. HG Scopedogis used as the base, with a molded color change and the addition of Brutishdog-specific parts. There's no new tooling — the runners are recycled from the existing expansion parts sets 3, 4, and 5.

As a result, the structural characteristics are identical to the HG Scopedog, with only minor exterior and color changes. It still delivers a clean build feel with solid articulation and joint strength. Accessories are limited to just one extra left hand and a stand joint part, making this one of the most bare-bones lineups ever. Since you're limited to posing with just the body's gatling claw, pulling off a wide variety of scenes feels pretty tough.

The appeal of this kit is that you can easily build a red Brutishdog without having to track down all the various expansion parts sets. That said, the contents feel a bit sparse, and ¥3800 seems pricey for what you get volume-wise. The parts count is noticeably less than the ¥3500 HG Burglarydog, and it really does feel like prices keep creeping up with every new release. Either way, if you're a Votoms fan, I think it's worth pushing past the value concerns and giving it a build. :-)
