Only the costume on the body has been changed.

This kit is the Kanagata Sugumi [Ga-Shin], released as part of the Megami Device – Alice Gear Aegis collaboration series. It's based on the previously released Kanagata Sugumiwith changed molded colors and a number of newly sculpted parts added. The body's costume has been changed, and the SP Gear has been replaced with a new form.

The new SP Gear comes in the form of two combinable swords packed with various articulated sections, and they can be joined together using joint parts into either a shooting form or a great sword form. The SP Gear is quite large, so you might worry about grip strength, but it locks firmly into the included hands so you can pose it without any concern. Everything else — the Tops & Bottoms Gear and the basic body structure — remains the same as before, still delivering solid articulation and stable joint strength.

As a variation kit with changes to the molded colors, costume, and SP Gear, you really just need to focus on those updated points in this review. The fact that it holds together so solidly given its size and complex structure is once again worth praising. The style is great and the quality is great too, but that ¥12,000 price tag is going to be a sticking point for a lot of people. It's definitely a kit that demands a serious amount of assembly work to match that price, but if you can get past the cost, this is a high-quality girl-pla that's well worth the satisfaction. :-)
