A weapon loadout that brings Gundam X to mind.

Rear wings deployed

You can combine the wings, backpack, and shield onto the Moonlight Cannon to form the Moonlight Buster.

Typical SD-level articulation — only the head, arms, and legs rotate.

Together with SD Neiryugundam

Together with SD Gundam X.

You can mix and match SD Neiryugundam's weapons with Gundam Goenenoh's armor.

This kit is the SD Shin-oh Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Kiragang series. The X-shaped wings and weapon loadout make it immediately obvious that Gundam X was the design concept. It even comes with the Moonlight Cannon — a massive weapon reminiscent of the Satellite Cannon.

The basic look is a combination of pearlescent molded colors and gold-plated parts, which can make the overall appearance feel a bit washed out. The color characteristics tend to make the details harder to read, though the abundance of shiny gold-plated parts helps offset that somewhat. As a special feature, you can attach the wings, backpack, and shield to the Moonlight Cannon to create the even more massive Moonlight Buster. On the crossover side, you can also swap in SD Neiryugundam's weapons and Gundam Goenenoh's armor for some fun mix-and-match combinations.

This kit will probably be a bit divisive, given its relatively limited feature implementation and chunky silhouette — but it's still a meaningful release in that it brings the Gundam X concept into the Musha Gundam universe. :-)
