Together with SD Kidou Musha Daikou.

You can combine the Kokuseiho from SD Amkouei or Kokumajin Amkouei.

This kit is Hado Musha Mazaku, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Seven Generals arc. Like its predecessor Kidou Musha Daikou, it features a format that lets you switch between a musha (warrior) form and a real form — but with the added twist that you can break it down into an even wider variety of units.

At the base level, you can build Hado Musha Mazaku in real form and Ammajin Rik Shatko in musha form as separate units. But if you disassemble those two and recombine the parts, you can reconfigure them into three units: Mazaku, Shaman Shatko, and Chojudo Musha Kurayami. So it's essentially a unique disassemble-and-combine system where two units become three brand-new ones. All told, you get five distinct units with their own individual personalities.

The complex transformation and combination process might raise some concerns about how well the parts hold together, but thankfully the fit is reasonably solid. Articulation on each unit does take a back seat to the transformation gimmick and ends up below average, but overall the build quality feels a bit cleaner than Kidou Musha Daikou. On top of that, there's a crossover feature that lets you combine the Kokuseiho from SD Amkouei or Kokumajin Amkouei onto the Shin Kokuseiho.

Going beyond just switching between musha and real forms, the real selling point here is that unique 2-into-3 transformation system. In a word, this feels like a gift kit made specifically for fans who love transformation and combination gimmicks. :-)
