Together with the Hexa Gear Bulkarm Alpha.

This kit is the Bulkarm Alpha "Lux Ape" released as part of the Hexa Gear series. As the name suggests, it shares the same frame as the existing Bulkarm Alpha, but with most of the outer armor redesigned, it comes out with a fresh new look. It's a bit shorter in height, but it's been reborn with a stocky, powerful image.

First off, you can remove the cockpit shell mounted on the body and attach the head to display it in body form. The large basket arm on the left arm can also be swapped out for a regular hand, though it's not a simple swap — you'll need to disassemble the wrist and reassemble it. The basic articulation structure is the same as the Bulkarm, so it still delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength, making it easy to pull off all kinds of dynamic poses.

Weapons include a submachine gun, heat knife, and solid shovel. The solid shovel can be stored on the sub-arm at the back. The submachine gun is recycled from the Bulkarm Beta standard spec, while the solid shovel is an original accessory made exclusively for this kit.

Overall, this is a well-executed kit that reuses the existing frame while giving it a remodeled exterior with a brand-new design. The base quality is more than good enough, so if you're into this kind of mecha, it seems like a fun build. :-)
