Even the GP04 from the old-edition G Generation joins the lineup!

One of the hottest SD items out there — it's the SD Dendrobium! The Dendrobium is a special icon in the Gundam world that causes a buzz no matter what scale or grade it gets released in.

This kit is a combined set of the Dendrobium and the GP03 Stamen, letting you display the Stamen separately or dock it with the Dendrobium. The GP03 Stamen is a solid, no-frills SD kit on par with other BB Senshi releases. The massive Dendrobium has been shrunk down in that cute, stubby SD style, and they've even recreated the container opening and the beam saber/claw combination. Unfortunately though, the weapon storage inside the container and the claw deployment aren't reproduced.. T_T

To combine the Stamen with the Dendrobium, you first need to open the Stamen's waist and bend it 90 degrees backward, then open the Dendrobium's container section upward like a lid and slot the Stamen in. The connection between the two isn't super tight so there's a little bit of wobble, but it holds well enough that it won't just fall out.

It's a bit of a shame that some of the Dendrobium's gimmicks weren't fully reproduced, but just having it released in SD form is fun and exciting in itself ^^ The straight build alone feels a little bare, but with a good paint job this kit would look absolutely adorable. If you're a fan of SD and love 0083, this is a must-grab hit item before it sells out :-)
