Pretty decent quality for something painted on the runner itself.

Natural kneeling pose.
Probably because the backpack is heavier than the normal type,
the waist joint tends to lean back a little.

Border Break series lineup.

Border Break Volume 4 is a Variation kit — it's the Cougar type-I body in a changed molded color (Class-A color) combined with the Heavy Guard type-II's weapons, giving it the rather long name "Cougar type-I Heavy Arms Class-A color."

As you can see, it's a combination of the Cougar and Heavy Arms runners, so there are absolutely no new parts — it's a straightforward variation. That said, the molded color has changed significantly, and as a bonus all the blue metallic sections come neatly pre-painted on the runner, so it does feel visually quite fresh.

Since the base Cougar type-I body was already pretty solid quality, the detail, articulation, and joint strength are all good — however, the heavy backpack means you'll need to pay a bit of attention to the center of gravity when posing. Also, just like with the Heavy Guard type-II, the large Titan Grenade Launcher that mounts in the center of the back doesn't lock in very securely and keeps falling off. Gluing it feels a bit drastic, but just plugging it in means it keeps dropping, so it looks like you'll need a little bit of tuning (?) — like wrapping a layer of tape around the peg — to improve the hold.

It's a kit that combines existing kits without a single new part — squeaky clean — so there's nothing particularly exciting about it, but judged purely on its own merits, it's a solid kit you can build without worrying about quality. :-)
