The gimmick of combining the small shields to form 2 different blast shield configurations is carried over as-is.

The thrust armor separation/combination gimmick works the same way as on the Baselard.

Alongside the previously released Zelfikar/NE.

This kit is the Zelfikar/GA from the Frame Arms series. A while back, a Zelfikar/NE was released as a variation special edition of the Baselard, and this kit takes that Zelfikar/NE as its base — dropping the NE-spec weapons and adding GA-spec weapons instead. On top of that, the overall molded colors have been changed, and a new-type frame Architect has been applied.

So the body shape and parts layout are the same as before, giving you the same level of articulation. That said, with the frame swapped out for the new type, joint strength has improved to some degree. The gimmick of combining shields to form a blast shield is also included just like on the Zelfikar/NE, and transparent clear parts are included alongside the green ones for custom painting purposes.

The GA-spec weapons that were added are basically the Baselard's thrust armor with just a knife thrown in — honestly, it doesn't feel all that new. What stands out more is that the overall molded colors have been changed to something noticeably brighter and more vibrant.

Either way, it was already a pretty flashy design to begin with, so it still looks sharp and stylish. And thanks to the improved frame, the build quality is definitely a step up from the old Zelfikar/NE. Since the Zelfikar/NE was practically a limited release to begin with, this kit feels more significant as the proper retail release of the Zelfikar. :-)
