This kit is the Frame Arms Girl Handscale Gourai with Jinrai Armor, a collaboration release between the Frame Arms Girl Handscale and Frame Arms lines. As the name suggests, it combines the Handscale Gourai with the Frame Arms Jinrai, using the Hexa Gear Woodpecker as a recycled base for the body. The concept is essentially the same as the Governor riding the Woodpecker, but now with the same-scale Handscale Gourai in the pilot seat instead.

The Hexa Gear Woodpecker has been modified in a few ways to serve as the Frame Arms body, and the Handscale Gourai boards it by attaching joint parts to her back. Just like the original Woodpecker, the hatch opens in two stages, and it pairs really nicely with the Handscale Gourai.

This kit includes not only the Jinrai armor but also the Gourai armor, so you can have the Handscale Gourai ride in Gourai Armor form instead of Jinrai Armor. On top of that, the original Frame Arms Jinrai/Gourai body parts are also included, giving you a total of four different cross-combination configurations. That means there are quite a lot of parts, so it comes in a large box — and considering how much is packed in, ¥5,400 is actually pretty reasonable for a Kotobukiya kit.

The basic limbs are the same as the existing Architect-based Jinrai/Gourai, so articulation is solid and dependable. Since it uses the improved later-version Frame Architect, joint strength is stable enough that posing shouldn't give you any trouble.

So this is quite the mashup collaboration kit — Handscale Gourai combined with the Frame Arms Jinrai/Gourai, plus the Hexa Gear Woodpecker thrown in for good measure. Officially, the product is categorized under Frame Arms Girl (Handscale). There's nothing drastically new here in terms of content, but if you enjoy getting a lot of variety out of one kit at a reasonable price, this should be a pretty satisfying build. :-)
