Comparison with Tamotu [White Version].

This kit is the Tamotu Pro [Cool White Ver.] plastic model released as part of Kotobukiya's Marutoys series. It's essentially the previously released Tamotu with additional optional equipment — a large dual arm unit has been added on top, and auxiliary legs with wheels have been added to each of the four legs.

Since the basic skeleton is the same as the Tamotu, it still delivers an excellent full inner frame along with smooth articulation and solid joint strength. The dual arm unit can be deployed in a variety of directions through multiple points of articulation on both sides, and the newly added auxiliary legs can also rotate 360 degrees for flexible positioning. On top of that, the arm unit from the original Tamotu is included as an option, so you can attach it for even more posing possibilities.

Thanks to all this, you can pull off much more dynamic poses compared to the original Tamotu, and the poses hold up well, making it a real joy to play around with. True to the series concept, it also works great for fun collabs with all kinds of girlpla figures. All in all, it's an interesting mecha plastic model with a clean, quality build — if it's your kind of thing, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
