10 soft black hands are included.

3 facial expressions are included, each with different mouth shapes.

The thigh side parts and shoulder parts can be swapped out to attach additional weapons.

It's a shame that the waist joint is a bit weak and tends to pop out during posing.

Since it was developed as a base body, the basic articulation is quite good.

You really have to move it around with your hands to feel just how flexible it is — photos don't do it justice.

This kit is the Normal Ver. of "Materia," the 3rd Frame Arms Girl release — it's 100% identical in content to the separately released White Ver., differing only in molded color.

Since the contents are the same, all the characteristics are identical to the White Ver. It's a kit that shows improved articulation, designed for use as a base body for future Frame Arms Girl kits. The more flexible waist joint is a particular highlight, and it also shares the same features: swappable face parts with 3 different eye directions, and 10 soft hands included.

That said, the more flexible waist joint can pop out depending on how you handle it, which is a bit of a letdown. The wrist joints have also been improved with a more flexible structure, but durability seems a little lacking — so be careful, or they might snap. (Mine broke... T_T)

Just like the White Ver., there's a lot of fun to be had posing this flexible base body in all sorts of ways. I'd recommend this kit to anyone who wants to build a cute girl character model without all the armor. :-)
