This kit is the HG Chuchu's Demi Trainer from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. It's a unit characterized by the large beam rifle mounted on the body, and following the series concept, it's been released with a polycap-less joint system.

Overall it's a simple yet clean kit that delivers solid articulation and joint strength. Weapons-wise, you only get the one large beam rifle, with two open hands thrown in as a bonus. The large beam rifle is mounted at the belly area of the body and connected to the backpack via a rubber tube. The two handles rotate 360 degrees, making it fairly easy to grip with both hands. On top of that, the mounting arm keeps everything nice and secure, so you can pull off a stable two-handed firing pose. That said, since there's only the one large beam rifle and it needs to be held with both hands, the range of poses you can go for is a bit limited.

The overall setup is pretty straightforward, so this isn't really a kit with a ton of standout features to talk about. That said, it's got a distinctive style and a solid feel to it, so if the look appeals to you, it's definitely worth recommending. :-)
