This is the SD Gundam Hakuryuu Taitei, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Densetsu no Daishogun-hen line. As the name suggests, it's an upgraded version of SD Hakuryuu Gundam — though the kit itself is a completely different sculpt. That said, the design concept based on the GP01 Full Burnern is similar, so it comes with a backpack vernier of the same style (Sōbakufu) and the sword (Jin Sōryūtō) that stores inside it.

The runner-attachment gimmick found in most kits in the series is here as well, and the spring-loaded projectile-firing weapon is built into the Sōbakufu backpack. On the articulation side, a gimmick has been added that lets the arms raise out to the sides. On top of that, like SD Fūsha no Hyaku-Shiki and Chikameki Zakurello, the kit includes extra armor pieces that can be applied to other kits — and they can also be displayed on a separate stand.

The additional armor includes shoulder parts and seals to outfit SD Sekiryū Gundam and configure it as Kōryū Gundam, as well as shoulder parts and seals to outfit SD Seiryū Gundam and configure it as Sōryū Gundam.

The main kit itself is already packed with content, and the extra armor on top of that makes this a really versatile kit. It'll be especially useful for anyone who already owns SD Sekiryū Gundam or SD Seiryū Gundam. :-)
