For weapons, it comes with a Cho-Netsu Jinshiki Pato and a binding electric net launcher.

When you deploy the Cho-Netsu Jinshiki Pato, it becomes a very long naginata-like weapon.

The hand configuration is the same as Kenbu/Jogan, and you still have to swap the back-of-hand parts around.

The rear skirt spreads out wide to the sides, almost like wings.

The flexible wrist, waist, and forward/backward shoulder articulation, along with the chest cylinder linkage gimmick, are the same as Kenbu and Jogan.

In Reiki's case, there's a gimmick that lifts the entire shoulder armor up slightly, and another that opens the side armor panels.
You need to use all of these together to get the same level of up/down shoulder range of motion as shown above.

The ankles also bend quite a bit to the sides.

Together with HG Mailes Kenbu and Jogan.

This kit is the Mailes Reiki, released as number 5 in the Kyoukai Senki HG series. This makes it the third Mailes from Yatagarasu, following Kenbu and Jogan. While it shares the basic inner frame and some armor parts, 90% of the exterior features a new design.

That said, since the basic inner frame is the same as the previous kits, it still delivers that flexible shoulder and waist articulation. However, due to Reiki's shoulder design, you need to lift the shoulder armor up slightly and open the side panels to get a similar up/down shoulder range of motion to the previous kits. Beyond that, it shows off nicely articulated reverse-joint legs and flexible ankles, and with the joints still being nice and sturdy, you can comfortably pull off all kinds of dynamic poses.

The main weapon is a foldable Cho-Netsu Jinshiki Pato, which connects securely to the hand so posing is no problem. As an additional accessory, a binding electric net launcher that attaches to the left arm is included, and the hand configuration is the same as Kenbu/Jogan with 5 hands included.

As a Kyoukai Senki kit that takes the same structural foundation and wraps it in a fresh new design, the significance here is that all three Mailes units from Part 1 of the anime have now been released. Since each one has its own distinct personality, if you're a Kyoukai Senki fan, it's definitely worth collecting all three. :-)
