Frame Arms Girl
Frame Arms Girl is a series of heavily customizable model kit girls produced by Kotobukiya, originally released in 2015 as a moé reimagining of the more traditional, equally customizable Frame Arms mecha line and acts as a sister series to the Megami Device line of more traditional, non-derivative mecha musume kits, of which the line has regularly crossed over with.
A prequel manga for the anime by Tsuneo Tsuneishi began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Comp Ace magazine in December 2016. An anime television series inspired by the line aired from April 3, 2017, to June 19, 2017. A recap film Frame Arms Girl: Kyakkyau Fufu na Wonderland was released on June 29, 2019.
Summary
Based on the original Frame Arms line, Frame Arms Girl features the robots from that line re-portrayed as anthropomorphic mecha musume, known as F.A. Girls for short, who can be equipped with various armor and weapon parts, including mixing and matching those from other original Kotobukiya kit lines, Frame Arms and the M.S.G accessory series included. The result resembles a doll or figure with accessories attached, ranging from heavy armaments to articles of clothing, sold at the size of 1/1 scale for lore purposes, but translate to 1/10 by default and 1/24 scale for handscale versions when compared to the human body. The line's initial character design was illustrated by Fumikane Shimada, loosely inspired by Takayuki Yanase original Frame Arms mecha designs, but has since expanded to commission other artists to help on new F.A. Girls.Multimedia Storyline
