This kit is Gundam Yami Gensui, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Hiragang arc. Uniquely, you can detach and rearrange the main unit's weapons to build two separate machines — add a few weapons to the light armor type to make Blaster Gundam, then gather the remaining leftover weapons and combine them to form Jarei.

You can also rearrange some parts from the Gundam Yami Gensui configuration to create a powered-up form. Weapons included are the Sword of Darkness and the Whip of the Evil Dragon. As for crossover options, you can apply SD Tenrei Gundam's Hiragang equipment as armor, and borrow SD Musha Victory's Retsusenkan and SD Master Daishogun's Tenken Zetsudo as weapons.

It's a fun kit with the cool concept of the detached weapons forming a whole other unit — if that kind of thing appeals to you, this one's definitely worth enjoying. :-)
