This kit is the SD Kishin Daishogun Sharyuko, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Kisaragan series. As you can tell from the large box and ¥3000 price tag, it's a DX-class oversized SD Musha Gundam kit — essentially a Musha Gundam combined with three animal-form armors.

First off, this kit splits into four main components: the Musha Gundam light armor type, Shatenkai, Ryutenkai, and Kotenkai. The Shatenkai is the lion armor, the Ryutenkai is the dragon armor, and the Kotenkai is the phoenix armor — each one forms the shape of its respective animal. The name "Sharyuko" itself is a combination of Sha (lion), Ryu (dragon), and Ko (phoenix).

Depending on how you combine these four components, you can build either the giant beast form — the Sharyuko configuration — or the final form, the Kishu armor-equipped state. Thanks to all those parts coming together, it has a really impressive volume and sense of depth. That said, with so many parts locked together, articulation is extremely limited and there's basically no pose you can really strike — it's the kind of kit that just looks cool standing there on its own. Still, it's a relief that the combined form holds together solidly despite all the complex combining.

On top of that, you can mix in weapons from SD Musha Tallgeese and Shinko Gundam — and since this kit doesn't come with its own weapons, pairing it with those really does make it look even more impressive. Either way, as a DX-class oversized SD kit, this one delivers a pretty satisfying volume and visual presence. :-)
