Two accent colors are included, semi-transparent lime green and semi-transparent bubblegum pink, allowing for either a black and lime green Peridot or a black and bubblegum pink Ruby Eye Creep Poison to be assembled.
Exarmor Black Nurse/Scalpel/Injector:
The two included accent color parts use psychedelic colors that contrast beautifully with black. Assembly with either color is possible.
The included Energeed (Energy Seed) are molded in both accent colors and clear parts, allowing for a total of four to be assembled.
The skirt features a 3mm joint on each part and consists of six points of articulation.
Modeled after surgical knives, the two included Scalpel swords can be connected using the connection part to create a double-bladed sword.
The injectors can be attached to hardpoints on the forearms or removed and used as handheld weapons.
Articulation Features:
This model shares the same base model as the first character, Principal, and features approximately 50 points of articulation throughout the body.
The knee joint is comprised of a single layer of joints and can be bent inward enough to allow the model to sit with one knee up.
The knee armor can move independently and can be adjusted to the desired position.
The shoulders are composed of multiple joints, and they can be pulled forward to recreate a crossed arms pose.
The range of movement around the shoulders also supports a wide range of poses, such as dynamic full body action poses and two-handed sword stances.
The torso part also has an excellent range of motion, allowing the model to be posed lying down. The neck can move in all directions, allowing for poses where the head is turned away. The elbows have a deep bend that makes charming poses such as putting a hand on the cheek possible.
The right and left hip joints can move independently in all four directions, allowing users to recreate stretching and split poses.
The model has an incredible range of poses that can be displayed, from high kicks to sitting curled up.
For the rear armor, there is also a single-piece version that is not separated into left and right parts that can be used freely.
Three-point Wrist Joints:
The wrists are designed to bend inwards almost 180 degrees which allow the hard point to be brought forward. Combining the model with weapon units sold separately can turn the arms themselves into weapons, recreating a monster-like appearance. The normal wrist joints and spacer can be used freely to one’s preference.
Hands:
Seven types of hands are included and consist of hands designed for holding swords and guns as well as knife-hand strike hands and multiple open hands.
Compatibility of Heads and Masks:
The head features multiple layers that can be removed.
The visor has the same design as the bangs of Sousai Shojo Teien models, so it can be used interchangeably.
In addition to the mask with an eyepatch, Peridot also comes with a mask with both eyes open. The mask is also compatible with Sousai Shojo Teien face parts allowing characters to wear the mask or helmet.
*Regarding visor/mask compatibility: Sousai Shojo Teien's Ao Gennai and Bukiko Kotobuki use unique standards so they are not compatible with Ruby Eye.

Recently, our suppliers have made a major policy change and are no longer accepting product returns for non-paying end customers. After much consideration, we unfortunately must also change our policies to align with the realities our suppliers have created.
As our preorder offerings have grown, we’ve found that a large percentage of preorder reservations are canceled or left unpaid without notice. We pay our suppliers for every preorder item that arrives at our warehouse, so when a customer does not pay for their item, we are left no choice but to absorb that cost. We have tried our best to cope with the effects of this change; however, after more than a year of trying, we have found we cannot continue to do so.
We understand that this is an unwelcome change, and no one wants to pay earlier than necessary. However, this is unavoidable in order for us to be able to continue to offer the wide variety of preorder options you’re used to getting from Factory Direct Hobbies. We must now ask that customers pay a 10% good-faith down payment toward the price of their item. This non-refundable good-faith payment is applied to the price of the product, and the balance (plus shipping and any applicable taxes) will be invoiced approximately 30-45 days before the item is slated to arrive at our warehouse.
We thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have questions or would like further clarification, feel free to contact us through the gold chat bubble.
The good-faith down payment is not refundable if you choose to cancel your preorder or do not pay your invoice.
However, if a manufacturer cancels a project for which you have made a down payment, you will receive a refund for your down payment.
Yes. We know that paying ahead of time can be unnerving when delivery dates are distant, and not every project makes it to the production line. Rest assured that, in the event the manufacturer cancels your preorder project, you will be refunded your 10% down payment.
Hobbies should be fun, not stressful!
The manufacturing process involves many different moving parts, and this complexity often renders production timelines unpredictable. Therefore, some level of unpredictability in timing is inherent to preordering hobby products. Down payments are not refundable in cases of routine manufacturing, delivery, or other short-term delays.
However, we know it can be frustrating when a project gets delayed for many months. In the event a project is delayed more than 6 months beyond the delivery window originally estimated by the manufacturer, we will handle refunds of down payments on a case-by-case basis.
Friendly Reminder: Should you choose to cancel a preorder, it will no longer be reserved for you; in the event the item becomes available on our website, all customers will have equal access to purchase the item.
Nope! The policy is not retroactive: if you already made a preorder reservation before this policy update, you do not owe a down payment for that reservation. However, any future preorders you make will require the 10% good-faith down payment.
We make every effort to keep our website updated with information that reflects manufacturers' current estimated delivery schedules. To find the estimated delivery month of an item, you can visit our Preorder Section and use the filters to narrow down your selection.
However, we encourage you to directly visit the manufacturer's site for the most current delivery dates.
Approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse, we'll email your invoice to you to pay in full. At this point, you'll be able to provide your shipping address and select your preferred shipping method.
Your item will be reserved for 7 days, beginning when your invoice is sent. After 7 days, your preorder will be canceled.

After much consideration, we unfortunately must also change our policies to align with the realities our suppliers have created.
As a result, we must now ask that customers pay in full prior to the supplier finalizing shipment to FDH, about 30-45 days ahead of product arrival. This gives us the time we need to cancel with our suppliers any unpaid orders prior to shipment.
We understand that this is an unwelcome change and no one wants to pay earlier than necessary. However, this is unavoidable in order for us to be able to continue to offer the wide variety of preorder options you’re used to getting from Factory Direct Hobbies.
One silver lining is that this change will result in preorder items getting to your door even faster, as all payment processing will be well out of the way and the usual several day wait after product has arrived will be eliminated. We thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have questions or would like further clarification, feel free to contact us through the gold chat bubble.
Manufacturing schedules can sometimes be unpredictable. In the event your preorder item does not arrive at our warehouse within 60 days of your invoice payment, then you will have the option to cancel your preorder and receive a refund OR you may elect to continue waiting for the item.
Friendly Reminder: Should you choose to cancel a preorder, it will no longer be reserved for you; in the event the item becomes available on our website, all customers will have equal access to purchase the item.

Although we try to keep our preorder arrival estimates as accurate as possible, we encourage you to visit each manufacturer’s website to find the most up-to-date delivery information.
For instance, with Athearn and Walthers, you can enter the part number into their websites and navigate to the item. Most of the time, the delivery date will be listed there. Broadway Limited has a published delivery schedule, as does Rapido.
Yes. Rewards can be used on both your 10% good-faith down payment and on the balance of your preorder at invoicing time.
Yes! Preorders are awarded reward dollars at the same 5% rate. You'll receive your reward within several days of paying the balance of your preorder invoice.
