Parts assembled by layering runners together.

The included SDV original transport mech even has wheels so you can roll it around.

You can also combine Kikoshin Elgaia's weapons, the Sekirin Kouken and the Ray Defender, into one.

Inside Elgaia's torso there's a green frame.

The green frame can be swapped out for Neo Gundam's torso.

Together with SD Lord Gundam EX Junior from the Chibi Senshi series.

This kit is the SD Kikoshin Elgaia, released as part of the SD Gundam Gaiden: Kikoshin Legend series. It's the core unit for the separately sold BB Senshi No. 121 Super Kikoshin Gungenesis, and it's a pretty sizeable SD kit — almost DX class.

The biggest highlight is that the Mystic Knight Neo Gundam is included, and its torso can be used in place of Elgaia's green frame. Conversely, you can also put Neo Gundam's armor onto Elgaia's green frame. This way, you can always configure two mechs at once.

Neo Gundam is your typical chibi Gundam style, coming with an inner frame and a paper cape. Its weapon is the Neo-exclusive Great Sword, and also included is the SDV original transport mech that came with some Chibi Senshi kits as well. Elgaia's weapons include the Sekirin Kouken and the Ray Defender, and you can combine the two into a single weapon.

All in all, this is a great value kit where you essentially get two mechs for ¥800, and if you're a fan of the Knight Gundam series, this one looks like a lot of fun. :-)
