If you try building just from the leftover parts, you can get about as far as shown above,
but some parts are omitted so you can't complete the right shoulder and foot armor. T_T

The limb articulation is still pretty frustrating..

SD Superior Formular Final Dragon - Together with the Superior Formular Final Dragon, built by combining the SD Superiole

The SD Superiole Strike Freedom Dragon and SD Alternative Justice Infinity Dragon released as standard retail kits,
combined together to form the Superior Formular Final Dragon.

This kit is the SD Gundam World Heroes Superior Formular Final Dragon, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a combined set of the standard retail releases: SD Superiole Strike
Freedom Dragonand SD Alternative Justice
Infinity Dragoncombined into one package, with gloss plating added to two of the armor runners.

Basically, the Superior Formular Final Dragon is SD Superiole Strike
Freedom Dragonthe right side of SD Alternative Justice
Infinity Dragoncombined with the left side of. (These names are way too long -_-;) In this kit, the silver molded color of the SD Alternative Justice Infinity Dragon has been changed to purple, and a good portion of the armor pieces have been given a coating, giving it a slightly different look from the originals.

SD Gundam World Heroes kits are flashy by nature, but the articulation is pretty limiting so pulling off a wide variety of poses is tough. That said, the striking appearance means it looks pretty cool just standing on display — it's that kind of SD kit. The only extra accessories included are one set of open hands, and by the nature of the kit, about half the parts end up as leftover parts. If you collect all those leftovers, you'd have enough to build a whole kit. However, this kit is missing some of the D runner parts from the SD Alternative Justice Infinity Dragon, which means you can't fully assemble a complete SD kit from the leftover parts alone. (See review photos for reference.)

As an SD kit, the visuals are pretty solid. But with the added coating, the price jumped to ¥4,500 — quite a bit more than the ¥2,400 you'd pay combining the two standard kits. On top of that, since about half the parts end up as leftover parts by design, the value proposition feels a bit off. That makes it all the more disappointing that they didn't include enough parts to let you build a complete kit from the leftovers.

That said, the kit itself looks great, so if you can make peace with the slightly questionable value, it's a fun build. If you're into the style or you're an SD Gundam World Heroes fan, it's probably worth going for. :-)
