You can also build it as just the base body without the weapons.

In this case, you'll need to swap out the Baselard legs for the humanoid legs.

Base body

The round decorations on the back can be swapped out for verniers.

The horn on top of the head can be positioned at 2 different angles.

Head antenna mounted at an upright angle and a laid-back angle.

You can swap between 4 different facial expressions.

Interestingly, there are 6 sets of hands included — but if you look closely, 2 of those sets are duplicates.

Joint parts for attaching separately sold weapons are also included.

The included stand mounting parts can be used in 2 different configurations.

Articulation is pretty impressive.

The sub-arms and blades are also poseable.

Together with the original Frame Arms Baselard.
You can really see how they carried over the mechanical design concept.

Even next to the well-built Architect, the Baselard's volume is way bigger.

The 7th Frame Arms Girl kit is the Baselard, bringing a bright and flashy visual style. As you can see in the comparison photos above, it carries over the mechanical design elements from the original Baselard — but it's been upgraded so that the Segment Rifles are mounted two per shoulder, for a total of four.

It can also be configured as just the base body without the weapons, though in that case you'll need to swap in the humanoid legs. The weapon pack that mounts on the back is pretty impressive, featuring two sub-arms equipped with laser cannons and poseable blades, plus the Segment Rifle mounts. Because of all that hardware hanging off it, the upper body gets quite bulky, which is why a stand is included. Posing can be a bit tricky with so much stuff attached, but thankfully the joint strength is solid so stability isn't really an issue. Most importantly, the weapons look so spectacular that the action poses are just undeniably cool. ^^

Like previous kits, you can swap between 4 facial expressions — but uniquely, it also includes face parts with no eyes printed on them, along with 10 different eye options provided as waterslide decals. On top of that, the head antenna can be assembled at 2 different angles, and there are 6 sets of hand parts included, which is a bit more than other kits.

This is both the most expensive (¥6300) and the most parts-heavy kit in the Frame Arms Girl lineup so far, but it definitely feels worth the price when it comes to that spectacular visual presence. If you're into girlpla mecha model kits, this is one you really shouldn't miss. :-)
