This kit is the Gundam Daishogun released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Shichinin-shuu arc series. True to its name as the "Daishogun" (Great General), it's noticeably bigger than the other Musha Gundams — and the two mega cannons on its back make it look even more imposing.

That said, visually the white and yellow color combo leaves the straight build looking a bit washed out, so even if you can't do a full paint job, at least some panel lining would really bring it to life. Instead of alternate form configurations, you can combine the included phoenix with the backpack and various parts to build the Musha Phoenix — and the phoenix can also be used as a weapon.

The two mega cannons on the back feature a spring gimmick that lets you fire projectiles, and the other weapon included is a sword that fits into a scabbard. The main body is quite large, but the accessories are relatively few by comparison. Either way, since the straight build looks a bit plain, this is a kit I'd recommend to anyone who's planning to do at least some panel lining or painting.
