The base body is identical to the BB Senshi Perfect Gundam's, just with different molded colors.

Following the BB Senshi Perfect Gundam, the Full Armor Gundam has now been released in SD form with a similar concept. The base body is identical to the BB Senshi Perfect Gundam's with only the molded colors being different, so you could really think of this as a variation kit that just swaps out the outer armor.

As you'd expect from a modern SD kit, the inner base body quality, outer armor, and the attachment/detachment process are all clean and tidy, and the color separation is done well enough that you get a decent range of colors even from just a straight build. Articulation does take a bit of a hit with all that armor piled on, but the sheer variety of weapons it's carrying means it looks great even in a simple pose.^^

Just like the Perfect Gundam, it also comes with a dedicated G Base and special head gear, and the feature of being able to mount all the Full Armor armor pieces onto the G Base is carried over as well. What's fun is that you can even combine the Perfect Gundam's G Base with the Full Armor Gundam's G Base — it's a non-canon special feature, but that kind of quirky charm is part of the appeal.

At ¥1000 it's on the pricier side for an SD kit, but the fun and well-rounded package makes it a satisfying build overall. As a rare SD release of an MSV design, it'd make a great gift for fans of the First Gundam side stories and original mecha. :-)
