This kit is the Kyoukai Senki HG Amaim Ghost Mk-II, released as a Premium Bandai online exclusive. Based on the HG Amaim Ghostas its base, quite a few areas have been redesigned, including the head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and backpack. The articulated sub-arms mounted on the back are especially striking and give it a really impressive silhouette.

The core frame is the same as the original, so it still delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength. Thanks to the beefed-up legs and sub-arms, you can pull off even more dynamic poses. The six cracking wires provided as lead wire hold their position better than you'd expect, so you can get some pretty convincing firing poses out of them. On top of that, the sub-arms can be fully stowed by swapping out the claws for the folded versions.

It's great that the Mk-II from the show got a release at all, even if it's a limited edition — and that alone makes this kit meaningful. The added bulk gives it a more premium feel too. Even if you haven't watched Kyoukai Senki, if the design catches your eye, this is a solid HG kit that's well worth building. :-)
