Arm and leg articulation. No knee joints, so the legs are pretty stiff, and the skirt limits the hip joint range of motion too.

Together with Caretguy Sara.

This kit is the Shielder / Mash Kyrielight, released as part of Bandai's new lineup, the Petit'gguy series. She's a character from the smartphone RPG "Fate/Grand Order," and this is an SD-style pretty warrior plastic model.

Overall, the build feel is similar to Figure-rise Burst — the color separation is well done and the material has a nice soft texture. In terms of articulation, the knee joints are solid pieces with no bend, and the skirt limits the hip range of motion, so there aren't a ton of poses you can pull off. Mostly you're looking at small poses with the arms moved around a bit. Also, figure model kits usually come with multiple face and hand options, but this kit only gives you one of each, which limits the posing variety even further.

That said, the sculpt is genuinely impressive, so the satisfaction after a straight build is pretty high. Some of the pretty-girl model kits that seemed to come out in response to Kotobukiya's Frame Arms Girl were disappointing in various ways, but the Petit'gguy series at least came out looking really cute and well done.

Anyway, since this isn't a kit you'd expect a lot of dynamic posing from, if you go in thinking of it as building a figure that can strike a few poses, it's a pretty fun kit. :-)
