Together with the previous release, Principal.

Ruby Eye has been released as the second kit in Kotobukiya's Megalomaria series. Basically, it takes the existing Principal as the inner body and adds new armor on top. The additional armor — the Ex-Armor White Nurse — was also released simultaneously as a separately sold kit.

Since it's built on the Principal as its base, it delivers incredible articulation. For a detailed breakdown of the articulation gimmicks, please refer to the Principal review. Thanks to that, you can still have a blast posing her with yoga-instructor-level flexibility — though the added skirt does limit the hip joint range of motion just a tad.

The White Nurse armor newly added to this kit is literally a nurse concept — the forearm comes with a syringe called an Injection, and the weapon included is a scalpel in the shape of a surgical blade. On top of that, the side skirts hold 4 pills that can be detached and used as accessories. As for the face, you can choose between two options: one with an eye patch and one without.

So what we've got here is a fantastic inner body paired with a unique and characterful armor set. With the eye-catching posing potential and the themed costume on top of that, the overall value of this kit feels even better than before. Either way, as an action figure series that delivers top-tier articulation, if the style appeals to you, this is definitely a kit worth recommending. :-)
