Newly added Shin'iki's Spear and Koufuu's Bow

The spring-loaded bullet-firing gun is the same as the SD Gunsaver Z.

The eye-swapping gimmick using the lever on the side of the head is carried over as well.

Together with SD Gunsaver Z

This kit is the SD Musha Gunsaver released as part of the New SD Sengokuden: Legend of the Great General series. The original SD Gunsaver Z is a unit from the Commando Senki series, with a backstory of having warped over due to a spatial distortion. The kit itself reuses two runners from the existing SD Gunsaver Z.

Since it reuses the Commando Senki kit, the runner-combining feature has been dropped — but the spring-loaded bullet-firing gun, the eye-swapping function, the articulation, and the gimmick of folding the waist and combining with the weapons to form a flight mode are all identical to the SD Gunsaver Z. New weapons include Shin'iki's Spear and Koufuu's Bow, and thanks to Shin'iki's Spear the flight mode does end up a bit more elongated.

Either way, it's a unique crossover concept kit, though the straight build visuals and overall quality feel a little lacking. That said, if you're a fan of both Commando Senki and Sengokuden, this is probably a pretty meaningful kit in its own right. :-)
