The small hand has a sliding back-cover gimmick, which is needed for gripping weapons.
However, since this kit doesn't come with any separate weapons, it doesn't really serve much purpose here.
(For reference, the HG Brave Hound series uses the same hands.)

Shoulder articulation range. The shoulder movement is relatively more limited compared to the Mailes series.

The flexible waist articulation structure is similar to the previous kits.

The fingers on the left hand are articulated.

The ankles bend quite far sideways, which really helps with getting a stable footing.

It's noticeably bigger.

This is the Amaim Ghost, released as kit No. 4 in the Kyoukai Senki HG series. It appears in the show as a mysterious unit, and it has a distinctly different style from the other Kyoukai Senki kits. It's much larger — practically MG-scale — with a rounded yet imposing design.

Since it's on a different platform, the parts layout is completely different from the Mailes series. The reverse-jointed legs characteristic of Kyoukai Senki are still there, and it delivers the same excellent articulation and solid joint strength we've come to expect. The waist, legs, and ankles still show top-tier articulation, but due to design limitations, the shoulders feel a bit more restricted compared to the Mailes series.

True to the unit's nature, no weapons are included at all, and only two right hand options are provided — an open hand and a closed fist. That said, thanks to its large frame and flexible joints, you can still pull off some pretty dynamic poses with just the body alone. As for special gimmicks, the jamming binders on the back can open up.

So aside from the body's articulation, there isn't a whole lot else to explore with this kit — but it does deliver a stylish design with solid, reliable articulation quality. Maybe because the design is less of an acquired taste compared to the other Kyoukai Senki kits, it's actually one of the more popular entries in the series. If the style appeals to you, this looks like a grade-A action model kit that's well worth the fun. :-)
