This kit is the Alternative Sneak Sight, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear lineup. As you can see, it's a bird-shaped mech that comes in a small size to match the humanoid Governor figures. Priced at ¥1500, it's relatively affordable compared to other Governor kits.

The large wings are multi-jointed and move freely in all directions — up, down, left, and right — and the leg articulation is pretty good too. Joint strength is solid overall, though the shoulder connection tends to pop off during posing, so watch out for that. The feet can be swapped between two versions — claws spread open or claws folded together — and thanks to the excellent articulation, you can pull off all kinds of dynamic poses. With the folded-claw feet, you can even borrow weapons from other Governor kits and use them.

This kit can also be combined with a Governor — you can remove the head and swap it with the Governor's head, then replace the chest hex pin with the longer version to mount it on the Governor's back. Doing it this way opens up some pretty flashy and creative poses. Either way, it seems like a fun mech accessory that pairs really well with the Governor kits. :-)
