This kit is the Stylet Interceptor [Full Option Set] — a Kotobukiya Shop exclusive release. As you may know, while it's technically a limited release, it's not so much about low stock as it is about not being reprinted; the initial run was distributed to stores at pretty much the same volume as a regular release. ^^;

Just as the name says, it's a compilation kit based on the Stylet Interceptor with all the related parts bundled together. Being a limited release, the Frame Architect is provided on runners rather than as a pre-built figure, so you'll need to assemble it yourself. Content-wise, you can build it in a total of 3 configurations: Khanjar, Stylet Interceptor, and the Extended Arms No. 04 form.

Of those, the Khanjar and Stylet Interceptor are the renewal versions, while the separately sold Extended Arms 04 attaches onto the Stylet Interceptor configuration. In the Extended Arms 04 combined form, the shoulder articulation is pretty unique — the front and rear shoulder armor can be deployed, the upper verniers can be rotated backward, and the upper/lower verniers can be spread open. You can also swap out the backpack wings for a rotating version, and up to 4 ACS Cradle weapon units can be mounted on the arms, legs, or in place of the backpack wings.

On top of that, there's an extra Gatling runner beyond what was included with the Stylet Interceptor, so you can pull off a double Gatling action. Strangely though, the weapons that came with the Khanjar renewal version are missing. That makes it a little hard to call this a truly complete full option set, but either way, pretty much everything Stylet Interceptor-related has been thrown in here.

Beyond just bundling the weapons together, the molded colors themselves have been changed to a combination of light sky blue and white, which gives the kit its own distinct personality. Personally, I'm not entirely sure how much value these kinds of "collect everything in one box" limited releases really offer, but for those who enjoy swapping out weapons and playing around with different configurations, this should be a pretty fun kit. :-)
