The Tallgeese from the Gundam Wing TV series has gotten the SD treatment, and true to its supporting-role status, it comes molded in just two colors. Sure, the original color scheme is pretty much all white to begin with, but there's no getting around the heavy seal work needed.
The Tallgeese's signature knight-like feel does carry over nicely into SD form, but compared to other SD kits, the head isn't quite as oversized, so it feels just a little less cute. ^^; SD is all about the big head, after all. On top of that, the eyes aren't the big, wide SD eyes you'd expect — they're more of a narrow, squinting shape, which probably adds to that feeling.
The gimmick of rotating the Dober Gun on the right shoulder to be held in the right hand is recreated here.. but the articulation is so limited that the poses end up looking a bit awkward. On the plus side, the shield on the left shoulder and the backpack verniers on the back do have some movement to them.
Overall, the proportions are a bit lacking for an SD kit, and with no standout gimmicks or special features, it's a relatively low-value proposition compared to others. That said, if you're a fan of the Gundam Wing series and Tallgeese in particular, just having it in SD form is probably enough to make it worthwhile. :-)
