Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl

Hresvelgr=Cornix

Kit Review

Straight build

This kit is the Hresvelgr=Cornix released as part of the Frame Arms Girl series. It's based on the standard release Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgrwith new parts added to the lineup. Two Wing Shotels have been added as new weapons, and the head decoration and some armor pieces have been changed.

The hip joint structure has also been redesigned with a new mold, upgrading from the original simple ball joint to a slide articulation system. That said, the front thigh armor in weapon mode means the hip articulation didn't improve as much as you might expect. It does move a bit more smoothly than before, though. Overall, the articulation feels pretty much on par with the original Hresvelgr, but the joint strength has gotten noticeably sturdier.

The two newly added Wing Shotels can be connected in two different ways to form either an Arrow or a Double Blade. The grip is solid, so you can pull off stable poses despite their size. And just like the original Hresvelgr, you can go through the complex disassembly and reassembly process to configure Assault Crow mode and Air Cruiser mode — though it's still a pretty fiddly transformation that takes a lot of effort.

With some new sculpting and a fresh color scheme, this kit does give off a bit of a new feel. But true to Hresvelgr form, the complex build means it still takes quite a bit of hands-on work. That said, the overall stability and build quality are more than solid, so if the style appeals to you, this seems like a Frame Arms Girl kit that's well worth enjoying. :-)
