Together with the Ryuomaru, released at the same time.

Kohryumaru has been released as the 6th kit in the 2024 Mashin Sozoden Wataru plastic model series. The basic frame and joint structure are the same as the series' 1st kit, Ryujinmaru — only the outer armor has been changed. In terms of lore, it's a dragon mashin built using parts salvaged from the destroyed Kirinmaru.

Since it reuses the existing frame, it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength relative to its proportions. The Ouryujo is included as its weapon, and it can be disassembled and mounted on the back. There aren't really any other special gimmicks, so you can pretty much just enjoy the overall look of the kit. Compared to other kits in the series, it has more clear parts, giving it a more vivid and distinctive appearance.

All in all, it's a well-executed Wataru kit — if the design appeals to you, it seems like a great, easy build to pick up. :-)
