Model Kit Overview
The Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl Architect Black Version is a plastic model kit from the Frame Arms Girl spin-off series. It is based on an illustration by Humikane Shimada transforming Takayuki Yanase's Frame Arms Architect mecha design into an original female character. This special colour variant features armor parts molded in black and gunmetal. Three pre-painted face parts are included for varied expressions.
Articulation and Joints
The kit uses pop-out shoulder joints shared with the Frame Arms Girl Innocentia release. Included knee joint parts connect to Frame Arms Architect shins while elbow joint parts connect to Architect forearms. These connection points allow integration with existing Frame Arms components for expanded display options.
Connectivity and Build
Standard 3mm connection points are provided across the kit for attaching accessories or custom parts. The pre-painted face parts reduce the need for painting to achieve a character-accurate look. Molded colour separation in black and gunmetal minimises painting requirements for the armor. The kit is supplied new and unassembled.

Questions about this item
How do I assemble the snap-fit armor parts and which step causes alignment issues?
Remove each black and gunmetal armor piece from the runners, then snap them onto the inner frame; the pop-out shoulder joints from the Innocentia design must be fully seated before locking the torso halves or the arms will sit unevenly.
Which parts will need replacement after repeated posing?
The 3 mm connection joints on the shoulders, elbows and knees wear first; keep spare joint caps from the included Architect-compatible knee and elbow parts so you can swap them without tools.
What limits how long the figure can hold a dynamic pose?
The friction-based 3 mm joints gradually loosen under the weight of the black and gunmetal armor, so extended display in wide stances will cause the limbs to droop until the joints are tightened or replaced.
