Together with the bird-type mecha, Alternative Sneak Site.

This kit is the Alternative Track Down, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. Much like the previously released bird-type mecha, the Alternative Sneak Site, this one comes out as a hunting hound-concept mecha. It's a compact-sized kit that pairs nicely with the humanoid Governor figures.

This product includes two Track Downs, giving you a duplicate set, and with some simple assembly you can put together a pretty convincing hunting hound mech. Weapons-wise, a light machine gun and a grenade launcher are included — one each — and they can be mounted on the tail and the swappable shoulders.

It's small, but there are plenty of articulated joints in the neck, waist, tail, and legs, letting you pull off all kinds of natural-looking quadruped poses. And since it's on the smaller side, the joint strength is actually quite solid — it holds whatever pose you put it in without any issues. There's also a unique droid mode where the tail acts as a third leg to prop it upright, letting you set up an attacking pose with weapons locked in both hands.

Small and cute, but with a solid look and great functionality to match — this seems like a really fun item for any Hexa Gear fan to enjoy. :-)
