This kit is Musha Victory, released as part of the New SD Sengokuden: Seven Shogun arc. True to its name, the design draws heavily from the V Gundam, and it comes with a premium option in the form of the gold-plated "golden armor." The golden armor parts can also be assembled separately to form the Metal Garuda.

The main body itself sticks to the standard SD Gundam format. Beyond the usual SD-level articulation, the arms and legs can spread out a bit more to the sides, which helps with posing. The golden armor equipped look is definitely far more flashy than the bare body — it feels like at least half of this kit's ¥1,000 price tag goes toward those gold-plated parts.

As for cross-compatibility, the Metal Garuda can be attached to SD Oukigudam's Hiyoku Tsuru form and SD Raimei Gundam's Inazuma Raigeki form — and going forward, the Metal Garuda ends up being compatible with a whole bunch of other kits too. On top of that, there's also the option to combine SD Rekkou Gundam's head antenna with the light armor type.

It's a great kit with a clean look that also lets you enjoy the flashiness of the gold plating. I think a lot of people will want to build this one just to get their hands on the Metal Garuda, which goes on to be compatible with so many future kits. :-)
