This kit is the Governor Parapawn LAT Mirror Ver.1.5, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. It came out as a variation alongside the Governor Light Armor Type: Rose getting its Ver.1.5 upgrade — and since Rose and Mirror shared the same torso structure from the start, this kit only adds new head sculpts for Mirror along with a few new accessories.

However, unlike the Rose, which got a well-rounded upgrade in terms of sculpt and structure, this Ver.1.5 feels like a somewhat half-hearted update. It does carry over the same changes applied to Rose — 1. switching to PS material for easier painting, 2. revised hand sculpts for holding weapons along with minor tweaks to the weapon sculpts, and 3. reworked collar area to improve neck articulation — but honestly, none of these changes are particularly noticeable. If anything, the pre-painted eyes and chest markings from the original are now gone, leaving the overall look feeling a bit plain.

In the end, compared to Rose — which saw improvements all the way down to hair detail and torso color separation — this ends up feeling like a pretty half-hearted version upgrade. It's a shame they couldn't at least keep the painted face and chest details from the original. Personally, I'd call this more of a Ver.1.1 than a Ver.1.5.

The one saving grace is the newly included rabbit mask accessory and head options, which do add a bit of personality. But all in all, this is a version upgrade kit that leaves you wanting more — really only worth picking up if the original LAT Mirror is hard to find. :-)
