This kit is the SD Bui-oh Daishogun, released as part of the New SD Sengokuden Mussha Shinkei series. It's a DX-class large Musha Gundam that boasts quite a bit of volume thanks to its elaborate wings. The clear parts even feature pearl molding, which gives the whole thing a really premium feel, and there are large seals to apply behind the clear wing sections as well.

Remove the weapons to get the light armor type, then add just the helmet and you've got the Seiko armor equipped form. Bend the waist 90 degrees and reassemble the weapons and you get the Star Phoenix, or combine just the weapons on their own for the Twin Phoenix. As for crossover features, you can swap in SD Victory Daishogun's helmet, and the manual also includes a guide on how to collect parts from BB Senshi kits #157 through #161 to build the Wushen Statue.

It's a big kit, but the articulation isn't really any different from a smaller SD Musha Gundam — though the sheer volume and vibrant color combination do make for a pretty satisfying visual. One downside is that the polycap joints holding the backpack wings tend to be loose, so the wings end up wobbling around a bit.

That said, the visual impact is excellent, and it's definitely a highly recommended pick for anyone who loves large SD Gundams. :-)
