This kit is the SD Jinbu Gundam released as part of the New SD Sengokuden Tensei Shichinin-shu series. True to the Tensei Shichinin-shu lineup, it features two soft-material frames, excellent color separation, and minimal seals. The hollow gaps on the back of the arms do look relatively more noticeable, though.

The biggest highlight of the Jinbu Gundam is its ability to transform into a flight mode called Strike Eagle form. It's a simple transformation — just rotate the head antenna and spread the cape to lay it flat. Articulation is your standard SD-grade fare, but the complex helmet structure makes the head rotation feel a bit more restricted than usual.

It's a kit that delivers a clean, simple look with some fun functionality — overall a solid SD samurai Gundam kit that's easy to enjoy. :-)
