Not just the projectile — the shield launches too! ^^;

The firing switch is located at the back, underneath the backpack.

This kit is the Kouki Gundam released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Seven Super Generals arc. The series is based on the concept of past heroes being reincarnated, and Kouki Gundam is set up as the reincarnation of Musha Alex. As a special part, a fabric-material sticker is included for the cape.

There's a unique gimmick where a spring fires a projectile from the chest, with the switch located at the bottom rear of the body. You can launch not just the projectile but the shield as well — though the shield is really more meant to be mounted than fired. By mounting the shield in the center of the chest, rotating the cape around, and moving the head antenna downward, you can recreate the Ryoja form. You can also lay the figure flat and reassemble the armor and weapons to create the Biyonghak form.

Beyond that, the articulation is pretty much standard SD level. You can also combine the special weapons of SD Neo Alex, Phoenix Gundam, and Lightning Gundam as backpack add-ons. All in all, it's a solid enough SD kit, and it feels significant as the kit that kicked off the Seven Super Generals arc. :-)
