The Zelfikar weapon pack mounted on the back has quite an impressive volume to it.

A differently configured stand is included compared to previous releases.

This kit is the Zelfikar released as part of the Frame Arms Girl series. Just like how the original Zelfikar was essentially an expanded version of the Baselard, this kit also comes out as the Frame Arms Girl Baselard's configuration with additional weapons added on.

The basic concept stays true to the existing Frame Arms Girl series — the Zelfikar's weapons are mounted on the cute girl base figure in a design that's nearly identical to the original. Zelfikar is divided into the NE spec and GA spec depending on the additional armaments, and since this kit is the full-option version, all the weapons are included. That means the sheer amount of weaponry loaded onto the girl figure is at an all-time high, and that's really the main selling point here.

That said, with so much gear hanging off her, there are quite a few headaches to deal with — as you'd expect, getting a pose set up takes a fair bit of effort. Fortunately the parts hold together well and nothing really falls off easily, but the shoulder joint strength balance issue is still there, where the shoulders pop out too easily. (The shoulders are stiff but everything else is loose..) On top of that, the backpack is so massive that displaying her without a stand is pretty much out of the question. Maybe that's why, unlike previous releases, a sturdier style of stand is included this time.

The level of weapon detail matches that of the original Frame Arms Zelfikar. The shields are a bit smaller, but the color separation and the Blast Shield combining feature are all faithfully reproduced. You can also attach separate hands to the sub-arms for some impressive 4-arm poses.

Overall the quality is solid, though the ¥7,600 price tag is still a bit of a hurdle. That said, it boasts the most elaborate weapon loadout of any Frame Arms Girl kit, so if this kind of kit is your thing, it's definitely worth the investment. :-)
