The shoulders and feet rotate, but just like the other Shishuoh kits, the head can't turn due to the Cheongmae mask.

This kit is the SD Hayabusa Gundam released as part of the SD Sengokuden Tenka Touitsu-hen series. It's the last of the Shishuoh kits following the SD Lion/Dragon/Rhino Gundams, and this time the build involves combining the blue Cheongmae with the main body to form the Hayabusa Gundam.

To combine the Cheongmae with the main body, you need to detach the feet and add them as shoulder armor — and the on-runner parts assembly method is still included as well. True to Shishuoh series tradition, there are special parts included, and this time the claw parts on both shoulders are provided as hefty die-cast pieces. Honestly, you can't really tell they're die-cast unless someone tells you, but they do feel pretty premium in hand.

For its signature battle mode, you can recreate the "Hawk King's Formation" by spreading the Cheongmae horizontally while combined. And just like the other Shishuoh kits, the neck still can't rotate because of the Cheongmae mask, which does limit posing options a bit. That said, the Shishuoh kits all feel essentially the same in terms of build, quality, and articulation — just with different characters.

Anyway, as the last of the Shishuoh kits, it'd definitely be more fun to build all four together if you can! :-)
