Together with Megami Device Chaos & Pretty Little Red Riding Hood.

This kit is the Chaos & Pretty Grandma released as part of the Megami Device series. It's based on the previously released Chaos & Pretty
Little Red Riding Hoodkit, reusing runners from the separately sold Weapon Unit No. 20 Gatling Gun and No. 29 Hand Gatling Gun, with a number of newly sculpted runners added on top.

Grandma's biggest defining features are the three gatling guns and wolf heads — by disassembling and rearranging the parts, you can configure her into Cerberus Mode or Claw Mode. The base body itself shows the excellent articulation and joint strength you'd expect from the line, though the gatling barrels do tend to pop off or spin around freely. That said, the other joints and gimmicks hold together solidly, so she can stand upright or hold poses just fine even with the large gatling attached.

Bonus parts include a hood-off back head and eye patch parts — though the eye patches don't have any locking pins, so you'll need to glue them on or use double-sided tape. On top of that, the two blades on the large gatling can either be rotated forward or detached for use as separate weapons.

All in all, this is a well-done remodel that sets itself apart visually from the base kit, and the three wolf heads and gatling guns let you pull off some seriously imposing poses. The ¥8,500 price tag does feel a bit steep even by Megami Device standards (which are already pricey), and the value for what you get is a little questionable. That said, the build quality and joint stability are top-notch, so if the style speaks to you, it's definitely worth going for. :-)
