This kit is SD Musha Max, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Shoki Doutai Taishou arc. Like its predecessors, it's based on the Kidou Butouden concept, and this time around it's essentially Gundam Maxter done up in musha style. The design does a great job of staying true to the original so you can instantly tell it's Gundam Maxter.

Just like before, you can remove the armor to get the inner body mode, and with a few accessories added you can also set it up in Ryoja (traveling) form — think Wild West vibes with a cowboy hat and dual pistols blazing. You can also rearrange the parts to build Super Mode, and Maxter's signature gimmick of pulling out the shoulder for a Burning Punch is recreated here too.

On the articulation front, on top of the standard SD range of motion, an elbow joint that bends inward has been added, which really helps with posing.
On top of that, you can collaborate with the Radiant Shield made up of weapons from SD Asura, Niou, and Shiranui Gundam, and you can also throw in Tetsuki Musha Kougan's rifle for a collab.

All in all, this feels like a textbook SD musha kit — it reinterprets the original design really well and packs in a solid variety of features. :-)
