Remove the bird's head, rotate the blade 180 degrees, and flip it over to use it in bowgun form.

The blades are linked — move one side and the other follows.

Reposition the bird's head and spread the blades to recreate the Torimeka form.

The left shoulder armor can be unfolded and mounted on the back.

Super Mode

Standard SD-level articulation, with an added joint that lets the arms raise out to the sides.

The lower body parts included with Tetsuki Musha Kouwan can be combined as a backpack.

You can combine SD Kikoujin Elgaia's weapons with the Ryoja form.

This kit is the SD Musha Rose, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Chou Kidou Taishougún arc. True to its name, it's based on the Rose Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, and the cape-style shoulder armor makes it instantly recognizable — the original design concept comes through really well.

The signature weapon is the Caliber, which can be used in either sword or bowgun form. There's also a fun gimmick where moving one blade automatically moves the other in sync. On top of that, you can reposition the bird's head and spread the blades out like wings to recreate the Torimeka form.

You can also add armor and accessories to set it up in the Ryoja (traveling) form, and by rotating the back head armor 180 degrees and spreading the shoulder armor out like wings to mount on the back, you get the Super Mode. As a special extra, a fabric-material seal is included for the shoulder armor, and you can even combine the lower body parts from Tetsuki Musha Kouwan as a backpack.

All in all, this is a solid SD Musha kit that stays true to the series' concept, and if you're a fan of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, it's definitely worth adding to your collection. :-)
