Together with the Frame Arms Girl Greifen.

This kit is the Greifen Barracuda, released as part of Kotobukiya's Frame Arms Girl lineup. It takes the original Frame Arms Greifenand gives it darker molded colors with additional weapons. On top of that, two sets of runners from the separately sold Weapon Unit 43 X-Cannon have been added.

So all the characteristics of the base kit remain the same as before — it still shows off solid base body quality and an impressive array of weapons. The process of detaching the weapons to form the Ride Vehicle is identical to the original, and the armor still limits the base body's arm and leg articulation just the same. The two newly added X-Cannons can be mounted on the forearms of both the base body and the armed form, and by combining various accessories, you can also configure them in Exhaust Pipe Mode or SF Missile Mode.

As you can see, this is a typical Kotobukiya-style variation kit — essentially a color variant with a separately sold weapon set thrown in. The look is great, but with so many parts hanging off it, this is the kind of kit that takes a fair bit of fiddling to pose or even get standing straight. That said, if you're into powered suits piloted by cute girls, this should be a pretty interesting kit for you. :-)
