This kit is the SD Captain Gundam released as part of the SD Command Senki G-Arms series. It's based on the Full Armor Gundam, and true to its name, it comes loaded with a hefty amount of weaponry — including three spring-loaded projectile-firing weapons.

There's also a unique gimmick where pushing down a lever on the side of the head switches it to a different eye expression. You can also arrange the weapons around the front and back of the body to recreate the Gun Vehicle mode. Beyond that, the basic articulation is pretty much the same as any other SD Gundam.

For an SD Gundam, this is quite a flashy and voluminous kit — and even though it's an older release, it's still a fun build that holds up well today. :-)
