This kit is the SD Gundam Ryuseioh, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Tensei Shichinin-shu series. Like your typical Musha Gundam, you can remove the armor to put it in light armor mode, and just like other kits from this era, it uses a solid one-piece polycap frame. And as is the case with most Tensei Shichinin-shu kits, the parts count is pretty simple, but the hollow areas do tend to stand out. The backs of the arms are noticeably bare, though putting the armor on does cover them up a bit.

Weapons-wise, it comes with a sword called the Meito Kouga, and you can rearrange the armor into a combat-enhanced form. The articulation is your standard SD fare, but for an SD Gundam, the shoulder volume is pretty impressive, so it looks great even just standing there. Anyway, aside from the hollow areas, the overall quality is solid with nothing much to complain about — if you like the style, this is definitely a fun Musha Gundam kit worth picking up. :-)
