The updated headlight and rear cargo configuration

This kit is a futuristic bike model released by Kotobukiya — the Reverse Trike OP Ver. It's the opening version of the Reverse Trikeridden by the protagonist Sam Porter Bridges in Kojima Productions' game "Death Stranding." Along with a molded color change, the headlight and rear cargo sculpting have been updated.

The front lighting has been changed to a round searchlight shape, and the rear cargo now features newly added sculpted items like a blanket, shoes, and a bag. The naturally folded forms are nicely rendered, giving it a great sense of depth. Everything else — the front wheel steering gimmick and the parts for switching between on-road and off-road configurations — is all included just like before. Since it's compatible in size with most 1/12 scale Kotobukiya girlplas, it looks like it could pair up nicely not just with Kojima Productions' Ludens, but also with Frame Arms Girl and Megami Device figures as well.

Aside from the updated details, it's essentially the same as the original, and it still holds up well as a futuristic bike model kit. The newly added rear cargo has a nice sense of depth to it, which makes it feel like a bit of an upgrade over the standard version. The price did go up ¥800 because of it, but if you're into this kind of bike model kit, it seems like it'd be a pretty fun build. :-)
