This is the old-release 1/220 Marasai from the Zeta series — the second time it was made into a plastic model, following the 1/144 version. As you'd expect from a 1/220 kit, the molded color is a single shade of purple, though the overall proportions and detail feel pretty comparable to the 1/144. Assembly follows the same snap-fit approach as previous kits, so no glue needed.

Articulation is relatively decent, so you can pull off a fair variety of poses, and the small size means joint strength isn't really an issue either. All in all, it's a solid little small-scale kit for the size and price — nothing particularly standout about it, but it seems like a fun build to enjoy. :-)
