This kit is the Xeno Alma Legiant, released as part of Kotobukiya's Arca Nadia series. It's a small quadrupedal mech that fits right in the palm of your hand. It can be used in two different forms: Monster Mode as a standalone mech, and Weapon Mode where it combines as armor onto another unit.

Starting with Monster Mode — despite its small size, it's packed with a surprising number of joints and moves quite flexibly. That said, due to the design, the range of poses you can pull off is fairly limited. The joint strength feels a little loose, but since the kit is so small and lightweight, it doesn't really cause any major issues.

Disassemble the Monster Mode and Arca Nadea Lumitea you can set it up in Weapon Mode, where it combines as armor, a backpack, and weapons. You can even chain multiple Legiants together in Monster Mode form, like a centipede.

It's a fun little kit that's great for mixing and matching with other Arca Nadia characters. The quality is solid enough, so if you're a fan of this series, it seems like a nice, easy build to enjoy. :-)
