This is a fairly simple kit... There's five runners in the box, but two of them barely count. And it's clearly a variation on what we've seen with the other Grassley suits I've built like the Michaelis and Beguir-Pente. That inner-frame looks almost identical to what I've built before.

There's a tiny little cockpit in the chest just like the Michaelis and Beguir-Pente... But this one is completely hidden by the chest armor.

I kind of love this head. I love the purple/pink visor... But it's got such a derpy look to it. Some little bucket-headed thing.

The arms and legs are very reminiscent of the Michaelis and Beguir-Pente... Just a little simpler. None of the shiny shell-unit pieces.

There's not a lot of accessories in this kit... There's the backpack, a shield, and then the weird shield/gun/lance weapon.

I'm really liking the simplicity of this kit - it kind of reminds me a bit of the Graze grunts I've been building. Very no-nonsense.

A benefit to a simpler grunt suit like this is that I don't have a lot of spare accessories to store away.

I really like the neat, goat-y feet... But they do make posing a little difficult. They've absolutely got enough surface-area to balance nicely, but they don't articulate in quite the ways I want them to.

That gun/shield/lance weapon is kind of awkward. The lance gets in the way in a lot of poses... And I really kind of wonder at the decision-making behind it. I would love to see the meeting notes that led to that thing being approved for production.
