The articulation is your basic SD-level stuff, and the Super Omega Cannons mounted behind the shoulders get in the way, making it hard to raise the arms.

This kit is the Yondaime Gundam Daishogun released as part of the SD Sengokuden Tenka Touitsu-hen line. The overall silhouette is similar to the 3rd Gundam Daishogun, but it feels a bit bigger and more elaborate. True to its 1000-yen SD kit status, it's got more bulk and visual flair compared to other kits in the line.

The weapons include two Super Omega Cannons and one Phoenix Cannon, all equipped with spring gimmicks. The head antennae can be folded and spread using a gear-linkage gimmick in the center, and you can lower the legs on the backpack to transform it into the four-legged Super Centaurus form. You can also spread the wings and front legs, then reconfigure the Phoenix Cannon to attach it and create the Super Phoenix form.

The flashy styling does come at a cost to articulation. The joint layout is already pretty one-dimensional even by SD standards — basically just the head, shoulders, and feet rotating — and on top of that, the Super Omega Cannons behind the shoulders make it hard to lift the arms, and the neck barely turns at all. So there aren't many poses you can pull off, but honestly, this is the kind of kit that looks great just standing there doing nothing.

Anyway, if you're a fan of big, flashy SD Musha Gundams, this is definitely one you don't want to miss. :-)
