With the addition of the coating, quite a few of the connection pins have gotten thicker.
This can make assembly difficult, or in some cases the pins snap because they're just too tight.
You'll inevitably need to use sandpaper to carefully shave down any pins that look like trouble as you go.

Together with the Frame Arms Girl Durga I.

This kit is the Durga <Gold Ritter> released as part of the Frame Arms Girl series. It's essentially the existing Frame Arms Durga Iwith a gold coating applied and a few extra weapons added. The separately sold MSG Virtue Style 01 Sword Set has been reused, and the shoulder parts on both sides are newly sculpted additions.

First off, with gold coating applied across no fewer than 10 runners, the price has come in at a pretty steep ¥14,400. The coating quality itself is excellent, but it does end up costing more than twice the original kit. Content-wise, all the parts from Durga I are included, and the hair runner from Durga II has been added as well — when building the actual Gold Ritter configuration, you attach the Durga II ponytail hair.

With so many gold-plated parts, even a straight build delivers a seriously flashy look. That said, with the coating added to so many connection pins, there are quite a few spots where assembly gets really stiff. The main articulation pins on things like the feet and backpack in particular are so tight that they either won't go together properly or are likely to snap during posing. Any pins that look risky during assembly absolutely must (!!!) be sanded down one by one to remove the coating before you can even get the kit together.

In my case, I actually snapped one of the stiff backpack pins while posing it. T_T I got careless and plugged it in without sanding it first, and it broke as I rotated it. I ended up barely scraping through the review with double-sided tape holding things together. T_T If you're planning to build this kit, I strongly recommend giving any coated connection pins a light sanding before assembly.

And since all the original parts are included, you can also build it as the original Durga I. By recombining parts in body mode, you can also recreate the Gold Ritter (Amazones Form). In that configuration, you can hang the scabbard on the soft waist belt — though the belt material isn't all that flexible, so getting it to sit naturally isn't the easiest thing.

So all in all, you can build it four different ways: body mode, Durga I, Gold Ritter, and Amazones Form. The gold coating looks fantastic, but this is a kit that demands a fair amount of care and time sanding down those connection pins. (Skip that step and you will absolutely regret it.) On the plus side, the reduced clearance that comes with plated parts does mean the joint strength is rock solid. Either way, this kit is very much a tale of two extremes — if you love gold coating, don't mind sanding work, and your wallet can handle it, it's definitely worth going for. :-)
