This kit is the Alternative Cross Raider Forest Color Ver., released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear lineup. Like the Forest Buggy released previously, it's a vehicle-type mech, and while it's small, you can build a surprisingly solid little bike.

Being a bike, there aren't many articulation gimmicks to speak of, but the front wheel does steer, and the handlebars and kickstand are movable. Ultimately this kit really shines when paired with another Governor kit, and the sizing fits together nicely. That said, actually getting a Governor to sit on it convincingly takes more time than you'd expect — the shoulder and wrist joints tend to pop out easily, and getting a fully snug riding pose is surprisingly tricky.

Anyway, if you're collecting the humanoid Governor kits from Hexa Gear, this seems like a fun little item to play around with. :-)
