Or you can insert it into both ends of the scabbard to form a windmill sword!

Together with SD Rekkou Gundam

A crossover look combining the Reppa armor from SD Gōten Gundam.

This kit is the SD Reppa Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Legend of the Great General arc. In terms of lore, it's Gekkou Gundam wearing the Reppa armor. The basic structure is similar to its predecessor, Rekkou Gundam.

The gimmicks of attaching parts while still on the runner and the spring-loaded projectile weapon (Strong Grenade) are similar to before, but the scabbard on the back and the sword called Kyōbōkan have some pretty unique uses. The sword can be used as a weapon on its own, inserted into the scabbard normally, plugged into both ends to form a windmill sword, or even fitted onto the front of the Strong Grenade like a bayonet. You can also attach the weapons to a display stand to recreate Jinmu's armor, just like with Rekkou Gundam, and there's also a waist rotation gimmick thrown in as well.

It's a solid, no-frills SD kit — if you're a fan of the Legend of the Great General arc, this one's definitely worth picking up. :-)
