Together with the SD Musha Gundam.

This kit is the SD Knight Gundam released as part of the SD Gundam Gaiden: Zieg Zeon arc series. It's the lead kit that kicked off the SD Knight Gundam series, and for old-school fans it's also a familiar kit as the Academy version "Knight Gundam."

Just like the SD Musha Gundams, you can remove the armor and display it in light armor type, and you can also swap it into a form equipped with the Three Sacred Treasures (Sword of Fire, Shield of Power, Armor of Mist). There's a spring gimmick that launches the tip of the lance, and folding the legs on the back downward lets you put it into a four-legged centaur form. You can also display both armor sets on their own individual stands, and there's a clever little feature where you cut out part of the paper manual to use as a cape.

This kit is significant for establishing the format and structure of the SD Knight Gundam line, and it's a historic item that any SD Gundam fan really ought to build at least once. :-)
