Together with the Hexa Gear Bulkarm Alpha.

This kit is the Bulkarm Beta "Lumberjack" released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. It's a variation of the existing Bulkarm Alpha, featuring one newly sculpted head, along with redesigned torso and leg designs. On top of that, true to its Lumberjack name, a large sword called the Slugger Blade has been added.

First off, the molded colors have been changed to something heavier and more subdued, and the legs have been bulked up for a chunkier, more voluminous look. The feet in particular have been redesigned into a hover unit form — detach them and add the auxiliary parts to build a hovercraft that can seat a humanoid Hexa Gear kit. Everything else, like the articulation characteristics and cockpit hatch opening gimmick, is the same as the existing Bulkarm Alpha.

It's a big kit, but the joint strength is solid enough that poses hold well, and the large Slugger Blade combined with the beefed-up lower body gives it an even more powerful, dynamic feel when posing. Either way, if you're a fan of chunky mechs, this looks like a kit you'll have a lot of fun with. :-)
