Just like the Orange Ver., new joint parts are included and can be attached to the top as shown.

Using the joint parts, you can pull off scenes like this.

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

The articulation is the same as before.

You'll need the extra joint parts included with the Bulk Arm to pull this off.

This is the Marutoys Tamotu [Sky Blue Ver.] plastic model released by Kotobukiya. It's a couple kit paired with the Tamotu Orange Ver. released at the same time, and it also includes new joint parts.

The main body is identical to the previous release, so all the features carry over — the beautifully sculpted full-body frame and the versatile leg and arm articulation let you pull off all kinds of fun poses. On top of that, the added joint parts let you mount two arms at once, so it's a pretty handy kit in its own right.

Either way, the build quality is top-tier even among Kotobukiya kits, and the real appeal here is the variety of color options on offer. :-)
