Together with Bai Hu & Ling Hu.

Ling Hu is the 3rd variation in the Frame Arms series, following Bai Hu and Ling Hu. The previously released black one used the character 影 (shadow) for its name, while this one uses 零 (meaning "to fall" or "zero") — both can be romanized as "Ling Hu," so to avoid confusion I'll be referring to this kit as Ling Hu (零虎).

Basically, this kit takes the black Ling Hu as its base, changes the molded colors, and adds a few new head parts. The additions include a V-shaped head antenna and two types of armor pieces that attach to either side of the head. Everything else — weapons, accessories — is identical to Ling Hu, so it still looks great and has excellent articulation, though the shoulders still tend to pop off easily.

At the end of the day, Bai Hu, Ling Hu, and Ling Hu are all pretty much the same kit, just rolling out color variants one after another. Since it's an original design kit, it's probably one for fans who are already into this style — if that's you, it's a decent enough kit to enjoy. :-)
