Together with the Hexa Gear Bulkarm Beta Lumberjack.

This kit is the Bulkarm Beta Standard Type released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. It takes the previously released Bulkarm Beta Lumberjack and swaps the molded color to a desert tone, replacing the original weapons with a machine gun and heat knife. Basically, you can pretty much consider this a color variant kit.

So naturally, the articulation, cockpit hatch open/close gimmick, and the feature where you detach the feet to form a hovercraft are all identical to the previous release — for this review, just checking out the new color scheme and new weapons should be plenty. It is a color variant kit, but it still delivers that satisfying heft and solid articulation/joint strength, so the overall quality remains dependable.

Sure, there's not much that's genuinely new here, but if you like the color scheme and design, this seems like a mech model kit that's well worth enjoying to the fullest. :-)
