The heavy submachine gun's magazine is removable, and the two spare magazines can be stored in the shield.

Using the joint parts, the heavy submachine gun can be mounted in various places on the body.

A total of four types of hands are included.

Optional parts for the head and shoulders

Swapping in the shoulder option parts exposes ports for combining with other equipment.

However, it seems the joint parts are only compatible with the separately sold Kotobukiya Flying Base. -_-

Leftover parts

Excellent limb articulation

The forward/backward range of motion for the shoulders is a bit limited.

The waist bends forward and backward quite a lot.

It also bends slightly to the sides.

The ankles bend forward with quite a bit of flexibility.

This kit is the Bulkarm Lamda Jackal from the Hexa Gear series. Following the Bulkarm Alpha and Beta, the Lamda version is here — and this time it comes with a more streamlined design. The concept of seating a Governor inside is the same as before, but it feels closer to the V-Thor than the previous Bulkarm kits.

First off, the overall parts breakdown is solid and the build goes together smoothly. It's got great articulation along with joints that feel both smooth and secure, making it a really fun action figure-style plastic model to pose. Weapons include a heavy submachine gun, plasma rod, and shield — the plasma rod can be stored inside the shield. Using the joint parts, the heavy submachine gun can be mounted in various spots on the body, and there are also bonus parts included for the head and shoulders.

The signature cockpit hatch open gimmick is well designed to open wide in both the front and rear directions, and you can seat a separately sold Governor inside without much trouble. The Governor's riding pose also looks noticeably more comfortable here compared to other kits.

All in all, this is a mecha plastic model that delivers a level of quality that gives Bandai a run for its money. If you're a fan of the Hexa Gear series or just dig the style, this looks like a kit you can dive into without worrying about quality — it's a lot of fun. :-)
