This kit is the Booster Pack 004 Multi Pod, released as part of the Hexa Gear series. It's a pod for seating humanoid Hexa Gear figures, and there's nothing particularly fancy going on — it's basically just a cockpit-style kit where you plop your figure in and that's about it.

The top canopy and front control section both open up, and the top canopy can be swapped for a closed-type version, though in that case it won't open. When you seat a humanoid Hexa Gear figure inside, the interior feels a bit roomy so the figure's back doesn't sit flush against the seat, but you can still pull off a decent seated pose without too much trouble. And true to its name — Multi Pod — the kit encourages you to buy multiple units and link them together in a row. Joint parts for connecting pods are included for exactly that purpose.

For those collecting humanoid Hexa Gear figures, this seems like a pretty fun little item — though at ¥3,200 a pop, buying multiple ones could get a bit pricey. :-)
