This is SD Gundam Kouen-oh, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Kirakou series. Like the previous SD Muikou Daishogun, it follows the large-scale SD kit concept — specifically, it's designed so that a regular-sized SD Musha Gundam can ride inside it. The kit can be separated into two individual components: the SD Musha Gundam in its Flame Armor form, and the Steel Lion (Metal Leo).

The Flame Armor form is similar in construction to previous regular-sized SD Musha Gundams, just with a different design. When combining with the Steel Lion, you attach the weapon to the head antenna, remove the shoulder armor, and fit the separately included handles into both hands. The quadrupedal Steel Lion can be configured into its combination-ready form by folding the feet and repositioning the wings and head — then you simply slot the prepared SD Musha Gundam form straight into the body and the combination is complete.

As a crossover feature, you can also combine it with SD Muikou Daishogun through a disassembly and reassembly process. Putting two large-scale SD Gundams together gives you an even more impressive, chunky volume — it's a pretty fun setup.

All in all, it's a fun concept kit where a Musha Gundam rides inside a lion, and it'd be even better built alongside its companion kit, SD Muikou Daishogun. :-)
