Together with the Frame Arms Girl Stylet.

The Stylet XF-3 has been released as a variation of the Frame Arms Girl Stylet. In terms of content, it's basically the original Stylet with new weapons added — but the underlying frame now uses the new runners introduced in the Gourai Kai Ver.2, so the whole kit feels like it's been upgraded to a Ver.2 overall.

Looking at the appearance, the face expression and head shape have been slightly changed compared to the original Stylet, and drones mounted on the shoulders and back along with a number of additional weapons have been added. Structurally, the Ver.2 frame brings a big improvement in joint strength, and the new extendable hip joint gimmick gives the articulation a slight boost as well.

The Booster on the back can be detached and set up as a separate aircraft with landing gear attached, and the center section can also be swapped to a drone form. The small drones added to the shoulders are removable too, though you'll need a separate stand to display them on their own. With all this stuff hanging off the body, the center of gravity ends up shifted toward the back, making it pretty much impossible to stand upright without the included stand.

To sum it up, this is essentially the Stylet released in Ver.2 form, with a whole bunch of additional weapons thrown in. The improved body structure and beefed-up weapon loadout give it a really high-quality feel. Either way, even if you've already built the original Stylet, this looks like a kit that'll leave you satisfied. :-)
