Frame Arms Girl & Rapid Raider Set Hresvelgr Ver.

Kit Review

Straight build

This is a collab kit between Frame Arms Girl and Gigantic Arms — the Frame Arms Girl & Rapid Raider Set Hresvelgr Ver. Just as the name suggests, it's a bundle of two kits, both with their molded colors changed to red. The Rapid Raider includes all of its runners, while the Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr only includes the runners needed to build the base body.

That said, even though the Hresvelgr only comes with the base body, there are so many armor parts sharing the same runners that you end up with a pretty hefty pile of leftover parts. (What a waste..) Since this is a color variant bundle kit, the basic characteristics are the same as the original releases. With the Hresvelgr, using just the lightweight base body actually makes the joint strength feel relatively more solid. The Rapid Raider snaps together firmly like LEGO, so there are no durability issues, and when you seat Hresvelgr in rider form, she fits right in without looking out of place.

There's not a whole lot to say about a color variant bundle kit, but the two go together so well that it's actually a pretty fun build. It kind of makes you wonder if they'll keep releasing these in various colors with different Frame Arms Girl collaborations down the line.
Either way, there may not be much that's new here, but the quality is genuinely excellent — so if this style appeals to you, it's definitely worth recommending. :-)
