Alongside the standard release SD Legend BB Musha Victory.

This kit is the SD Legend BB Musha Victory Super Hagane Ver., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release SD Legend BB Musha Victorywith slightly tweaked molded colors and added gold plating. There are no new mold parts whatsoever — it's essentially the standard kit with plated parts added.

So all the features are the same as the standard release — you can still configure it as the Metal Garuda using the golden wing armor, or build it as Musha Victory, just like before. With the plating added, the joint strength and overall tightness have improved a bit, so it holds poses and stands up a little better than the standard version. The standard release had a particular issue with the wings drooping down, but true to its plated nature, the wing height holds up nicely here. That said, there's still a feeling of structural instability, so standing it upright and posing it can still be a bit of a hassle.

As for the Musha Victory body itself, the white armor parts have a pearl finish applied, while the remaining molded colors use a metallic finish — though neither effect is as dramatic as you might expect, and they can look like just a color variant at a glance. On the other hand, the beam wings use a proper lamé clear molding, so the glittery pearl inside comes through quite nicely.

Either way, the added gold plating gives this kit a flashy visual upgrade. Joint stability has improved a bit too, so if you're a fan of the Legend BB series, this one looks like a fun build. :-)
