Together with Megami Device Agatsuma Kaede.

This kit is the Type Jaeger Edelweiss released as a Megami Device. The character appears in the new game "Busou Shinki," and just like Agatsuma Kaede, it's a collab kit done up in the Megami Device format. The word "Jaeger" might sound a bit unfamiliar, but it's the Japanese rendering of the German-origin word for "hunter."

The basic build stays true to the Megami Device format, and the process of swapping out the head, chest, and limbs to get into bare body mode is similar to previous kits. What sets this one apart is the articulated sub-arm on the back that holds four sabers, plus a large rifle. The rifle is pretty big, but thankfully the grip with the soft hands is solid enough that there's almost no issue holding it.

The body has decent articulation and joint strength, making posing pretty easy, and with the sub-arm moving at various angles, you can pull off some really dynamic poses. That said, compared to other kits, the option parts are relatively limited.
Anyway, even if you have no particular interest in the game Busou Shinki, this is a cute enough kit just on its own merits — if the style appeals to you, it's a solid little girlpla you can enjoy with reasonably reliable quality. :-)
