Muv-Luv Shiranui Second Tarisa Manadal Ki Ver.1.5 - Together with the non-scale Shiranui Second Tarisa Manadal Ki (1.0) relea

Together with the non-scale Shiranui Second Tarisa Manadal Ki (1.0) released back in 2011.
Structurally, the improvements are limited to slightly better articulation in the waist and weapon rack.

With the Ver.1.5 update, a painted section has been added to the head.

This kit is the non-scale Shiranui Second Tarisa Manadal Ki Ver.1.5 released as part of the Muv-Luv series. It's an upgraded version of the 1.0 released back in 2011. Content-wise, it's based directly on the previously released Shiranui Second Yuuya Bridges Ki Ver.1.5and comes as a 100% color variant kit.

So the basic characteristics are identical to the Shiranui Second Yuuya Bridges Ki Ver.1.5. Compared to the original 1.0, the waist joint has a slightly wider range of motion, and a movable section has been added to the weapon rack, upgrading the armament to a support assault cannon configuration. Because of that, it's hard to tell the difference between the 1.0 and 1.5 just by looking at them — but the Ver.1.5 does have added paint on the emblem at the top of the head, so you can tell them apart by checking that.

That said, the improvements are just too few and far between to really justify calling it a Ver.1.5 — it feels more like a v1.1 at best. It's probably better to think of it as a slight upgrade thrown in alongside a reprint of the Tarisa Manadal Ki. :-)
