This kit is the Ashsaviour released as part of Bandai's Super Robot Wars HG series. Since it's never been released as a Kotobukiya kit, this is the first time it's been made into a plastic model. Its standout feature is the 6 Sword Breakers it carries, which are a homage to the Nu Gundam's fin funnels.

Overall, the straight build looks pretty solid with decent color separation and sculpting. Assembly feels smooth, but the polycap-less joints are quite stiff. That does mean joint stability is excellent, but the stiffness makes posing a bit of a chore and there's some risk of breakage, so it's best to handle it with care.

Weapons include the Halberd Launcher, Gun Rapier, and Laser Blade, and you can open the chest hatch using separate parts to recreate the Fire Dagger. The 6 Sword Breakers mounted on the shoulders can be detached and deployed, and the included stand lets you recreate the launched state. Worth noting — this kit comes with a clear Action Base 7 and two stand runners that were originally accessories from The Witch from Mercury, so you get a really generous selection of stand options.

All in all, this is a kit with a solid look, sturdy joint stability, a rich weapon lineup, and a generous stand package. Aside from the joints being a bit stiff, the overall quality is clean and tidy. Super Robot Wars fans will no doubt be thrilled to finally have an Ashsaviour in plastic model form — and if the design appeals to you, it's a fun, easy kit to enjoy. :-)
