The Tenshinken can be stored in the center of the Tendoiku.

The Tendoiku features a linked gimmick where moving one side causes the opposite side to follow.

Typical SD articulation — only head, shoulders, and feet rotate

Together with SD Neo Alex

This kit is the SD Houhou Gundam, released as part of the SD Sengokuden Tenka Touitsu-hen series. It's a bit bulkier than the Neo Alex, which has a similar silhouette, and with the large Tendoiku mounted on its back, it boasts quite an impressive volume. The Tendoiku features the same linked gimmick as the Neo Alex's Jimyakuyoku — move one wing and the other follows.

For weapons, you get the Lambda, which fires a projectile via a spring mechanism, and the Tenshinken, which stores inside the Tendoiku. There are no other special options or transformation gimmicks, and the articulation is on par with the previous kit.

As the centerpiece unit of the Tenka Touitsu-hen, this kit boasts a relatively large frame. For an older kit, the straight build looks pretty clean — it's a solid SD kit all around. :-)
