This kit is the SD Crown Knight Gundam released as part of the SD Gundam Gaiden: Knights of the Round Table series. Unlike Knight Gundam, which was based on the Gundam Mk-III, this Crown Knight Gundam takes the original First Gundam as its motif. You can also swap it into a form equipped with the Magic Armor and Silver Helmet items.

Interestingly, it also uses a system similar to the old V Gundam 1/144 series where you fold the parts while still on the runner and snap them together all at once. Honestly though, cleaning up the gates is a pain that way, so you're better off cutting them off individually. For the spring-launch gimmick, the tip of the lancer shoots off — and it comes with three projectiles in two different colors. True to the Knight Gundam series, you can also cut out part of the manual to use as a cape.

As a knight Gundam kit based on the First Gundam, this one carries some real significance, and it seems like a solid, no-frills SD Gundam kit. :-)
