Together with the original Hoihoi-san Heavy Arms version.

This kit is the ID-3 Hoihoi-san Heavy Arms - Nightmare ver., released as a Miyazawa Models exclusive. It's the same kit as the standard Hoihoi-san Heavy Arms with no changes to the included parts — just a different molded color, and as a bonus, more waterslide decals are included.

Since this is essentially a straight-up color variant, all the basic characteristics are identical to the standard Heavy Arms version. The outfit color has changed to black, the hair to yellow, and the eyes are now red — other than that, it's 100% the same.

The original orange-outfit Heavy Arms version felt a bit too bright compared to its weaponry, which just emphasized the cuteness. The black version, by nature of the color, gives off a slightly weightier feel. In a way, that means it's a little less cute — so it's not something I'd particularly recommend to those who already have the standard Heavy Arms version. But if you only have the normal Hoihoi-san, it might be worth building one in a darker color scheme too.

Aside from the series' unique concept of assembling a cute robot girl, this is a simple color variant without any major distinguishing features. That said, if the color scheme appeals to you, it's a kit you can build without any worries about quality. :-)
