This kit is a special edition MG Musha Gundam Mk-II Tokugawa Ieyasu Nanban Dogusoku Ver. Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Nikko Tosho-gu "Nikko no Sha-dera" World Heritage registration, this kit is based on the Club G release MG Musha Gundam Mk-II Tokugawa Ieyasu Ver.with a changed molded color and a newly sculpted helmet. In practice, it's essentially identical in every way to the standard release MG Musha Gundam Mk-IIexcept for the helmet.

So all the characteristics are the same as the original kit, the MG Musha Gundam Mk-II. Since the base body uses the MG Gundam Mk-II 2.0from 2005, it's hard to shake that slightly dated feel. The sculpt and overall structure are solid, but the joint strength leaves a little to be desired. It's not exactly loose, but there's a bit of wobble throughout that keeps it from feeling really stable.

The weapon loadout is also the same as before — you get two tachi "Hocetsu-kan," a naginata "Senkou-kan," and a cannon "Shouryu-kan." The grip is a bit iffy, but it can hold poses well enough.

So while it's essentially just a color variant with a helmet swap, the overall color scheme has gotten noticeably deeper and gives it a different vibe. New washi seals on the back of the head, upper body, and skirt also help set it apart visually from the previous releases. Either way, if you're into the black samurai warrior look, this seems like a kit worth building at least once. :-)
