Together with SD Hakuryu Gundam

This kit is the SD Seiryu Gundam released as part of the New SD Sengokuden Strongest on Earth series. Following the Hakuryu Gundam which was based on the GP01, the Seiryu Gundam takes the GP02 Physalis as its concept. The overall configuration is nearly identical to the Hakuryu Gundam with only the design changed — it comes with the dragon horse "Sou" and a paper flag, and the parts-assembled-on-runner build style carries over as well.

Being a unit based on the GP02, it comes with a stocky build and a large shield. The heat sword weapon can be stored inside the shield, just like the GP02's nuclear bazooka. As for the dragon horse "Sou", its distinguishing feature is the wings on either side. Unlike the Hakuryu Gundam where the firing gimmick was built into the horse's head, the Seiryu Gundam puts the spring gimmick into its weapon, the Seiryuho cannon.

Either way, it's essentially a sibling kit to the Hakuryu Gundam with just a different design — and it feels like a pretty distinctive SD kit that really gives off strong GP02 vibes. :-)
