Together with the Frame Arms Girl Magatsuki that served as the base.

This kit is the Ayatsuki, released as part of the Frame Arms Girl series. It's based on the previously released Frame Arms Girl Magatsukiwith a different molded color and additional weapons. All of the original Magatsuki's parts are included as well, so you can also build it in the same Armed Mode configuration.

In total, you can build three different configurations: Kunoichi Mode (the base body form), Armed Mode, and Ayatsuki's own form. Compared to the Magatsuki, Ayatsuki has a somewhat more streamlined design, and rearranging the existing weapons gives it quite a different feel. The head features a distinctive twin-tail hairstyle, and you can choose from 4 back-of-head options — no side hair, or attached on the left, right, or both sides. Two front hair styles and three facial expressions are also included, and the abdominal armor can be selected from 3 different forms.

On top of the Magatsuki's original weapons, the arsenal now includes a kusarigama (chain sickle), 4 daggers, and 4 flame blade parts. The kusarigama in particular comes with actual metal chain parts, giving it a premium feel. Otherwise, the kit's underlying structure is identical to the Magatsuki, delivering solid articulation and joint strength.

With the weapons rearranged and new head parts and armaments added, Ayatsuki has a pretty distinct personality compared to the original kit — it's impressive how much differentiation they managed with relatively few changes. Overall build quality is comfortably solid, so if the style appeals to you, this is definitely a kit worth recommending. :-)
