You can also attach the Thruster Armor Type S to either the ribbon or the verniers.

You can swap between a total of 3 different facial expressions.

Together with Frame Arms Girl Zelfikar.

This kit is the Zelfikar ST Ver. released as part of Kotobukiya's Frame Arms Girl lineup. ST stands for Standard, and the look is essentially the Zelfikar dressed in Baselard's color scheme. On top of that, the original Zelfikar's weapons have been replaced with 4 Gun Rapiers, each of which can be split into a handgun and a rapier.

Since the core body is identical to the original Zelfikar, all the same characteristics apply — decent articulation and a flashy array of accessories. Sure, it's a kit that can be tricky to pose thanks to all the weapons hanging off it, but that also means you can pull off some seriously impressive displays, just like before. The newly added Gun Rapiers can be mounted on the shoulder racks in 2 different configurations, and if you equip all 4 hands with all 4 Gun Rapiers, you can create an even more dazzling display than the original Zelfikar. Everything else — the Blast Shield setup, the extra support parts — is all the same as before.

And just like the Zelfikar, this kit has a brutal runner and parts count, so assembly takes quite a bit of time — though the spectacular end result more than makes up for it. At the end of the day it's essentially a color variant kit, but the bright and vibrant Baselard color scheme plus the addition of the Gun Rapiers give it solid value in its own right. If you're a fan of flashy Frame Arms Girls, this one is definitely worth going for. :-)
