This kit is the Magatsuki [Kikka] released as part of the Frame Arms Girl series. "Kikka" means mandarin blossom in Japanese, and the molded colors have been changed to reflect the white of those blossoms. On top of that, the front skirt design has been slightly revised, and a ponytail option has been added alongside the original long twin braids. Three sizes of pink shuriken — two of each — have also been added as weapons, and they can even be mounted on the shoulders or various parts of the body using joint parts.
Since the basic frame is the same as the original Frame Arms Girl Magatsuki, all the structural features are identical. The solid articulation and joint strength give it a reassuringly stable feel. That said, the dramatically different color scheme really changes the overall vibe — with all that pink mixed in, it's got a brightness to it that could easily pass for a Sakura edition. As a bonus, a 20-page special booklet is included, packed with various illustrations and descriptions (see theInfo page for reference).
Anyway, it's a color variant kit with a few tweaks and some extra parts, but thanks to the color scheme, it actually feels a bit prettier than the original Magatsuki. :-)
