By swapping parts, you can build it in two configurations: Yami Shogun or Zakuto.

This kit is the SD Yami Shogun released as part of the SD Gundam Musha 7-nin Shu hen series. It's based on the Zaku concept, so swapping the armor and feet lets you build it in Zakuto form as well. Despite being a mono-eye design, it has a face that looks like one eye is covered.

It does have a silver metallic plating, but given the nature of that color, it doesn't have quite the luxurious look of the previous Musha Hyaku-Shiki. The Dark Cannon — which fires a projectile via a spring — is included, and you can use it as a rack to mount the armor pieces and weapons on.

Above all, the real appeal here is that it's an SD Musha version of the Zaku — and personally, I actually prefer the Zakuto style over the Yami Shogun look. :-)
