This kit is Peridot, released as part of Kotobukiya's Megalomaria series. Previously released Megalomaria Ruby Eyewith the color changed to black — it's a straight color variant with no new sculpts.

The basic configuration and accessories are identical to the original, so for this review you really just need to pay attention to the changes in molded color. It still delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength, making it an A-class action figure model kit where you can easily pull off all kinds of poses. The one difference from the original kit is that you can swap the clear green parts for clear pink — though the structure makes swapping them a bit of a hassle, so you'll probably want to pick one of the two colors before you start building.

Sure, it's a simple color variant, but it shows off a completely different vibe from the original with great overall quality. They've thrown in an extra clear parts runner, which bumps the price up ¥400 over Ruby Eye to ¥6,700. Either way, it's a solid kit in its own right — if the darker, heavier color scheme appeals to you, this one's definitely worth building. :-)
