Together with the Governor Exarmor Type Bishop.

This kit is the Alternative Creepvenom, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. Governor Exarmor Type BishopIt's essentially the chain blade, rifle, and effect parts from that kit split off into a separate release — with a snake head part added on top.

The chain blade and rifle are the same as before, with only the rifle's molded color changed from white to dark blue. The chain, which has lead wires built in, holds its shape well at any angle you bend it, making it easy to pose and lock the snake into all kinds of positions. The snake head, exclusive to the Creepvenom, can open its mouth, and the rifle + effect parts on either side of the head can be detached and used as weapons for other kits.

All in all, it makes great use of the lead wire-embedded chain to pull off a convincing mechanical snake look. The fact that it holds its pose well at any angle is a real plus — if the style appeals to you, this seems like a fun kit worth giving a shot. :-)
