You can also mix and match the Force Armor's limbs onto the Rockman X Force Armor Rising Fire Version.

This kit is the 1/12 Rockman X Force Armor Rising Fire Version, released as part of Kotobukiya's Rockman series. It takes the previously released 1/12 Force Armor and swaps out the molded colors, adding a large Plasma Charge Shot effect parts set. The effect parts require four runners of considerable size, so the kit comes in a box twice as large as usual.

Since the main body is completely identical to the existing Force Armor, all the same characteristics carry over — the smooth build experience, excellent color separation, solid articulation, and joint strength are all still there. The Plasma Charge Shot effect parts included with the Rising Fire Version are made up of two different clear-color molded combinations, and they're large, flashy, and nicely sculpted. That said, the addition of these parts does bump the price up by ¥1,000. You can also mix the limbs from this kit onto the Rockman X Force Armor Rising Fire Version, just like in the game.

So yes, it's essentially a color variant with effect parts added — but it's built on a base kit that already ranks among the best in quality across all Kotobukiya kits, and now it comes with some really cool effect parts on top of that. If you're a Rockman X fan, this seems like a kit that's well worth picking up. :-)
