Together with SD Musha F91

This kit is the SD Rekkou Gundam released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Legend of the Great General series. In terms of lore, it's Musha F91 wearing the Rekkou armor, and you can definitely catch a whiff of F91 in the backpack and the Vesbar-style weapon.

The light armor configuration and the parts that attach while still on the runner follow the same format as before, but the spring-launch gimmick is applied to the Bow of Omkou, letting you actually fire arrows from it. On top of that, you can attach the armor pieces to a separate display stand to recreate Touhai's armor, and the feet have quite a bit more forward-and-backward articulation compared to your typical SD kit. There are also tonfa mounted on both sides of the backpack — just like F91's Vesbar — which can be detached and used as weapons.

Anyway, it doesn't have anything particularly unique going for it, but this kit feels like it earns its place simply by doing a solid job of translating Rekkou Gundam into SD form. :-)
