A joint part not included in the previous Black/White version is provided, and can be applied to the top as shown above.

You're left with 4 universal joint parts and 2 leftover parts.

The articulation is the same as before.

This kit is the Marutoys Tamotu [Orange Ver.] plastic model released by Kotobukiya. It's a color variant of the previously released Tamotu Black/White version, with the molded color changed to orange — though as a bonus, new joint parts are included.

The body itself is the same as before, so all the features carry over from the previous release. Thanks to the beautifully sculpted full-body frame and the highly articulated legs and arms, you can pull off all kinds of fun poses. The added joint parts let you change the mounting position of the arms or even add extra arms. On top of that, you can still do all sorts of fun collabs with other kits.

If they keep rolling out color variants like this, it could turn into an endless series — but since the quality is excellent, it's definitely worth recommending as long as you like the color. :-)
