Together with SD Kensei Gundam

This kit is the SD Suisei Gundam released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Tensei Shichinin-shuu series. True to the Tensei Shichinin-shuu lineup, it features two soft-material frames and excellent color separation. On the downside, it uses a relatively large number of seals, and the hollow gaps on the back of the arms are among the more noticeable in the series.

The basic setup lets you choose between the Kouya armor and the Injasoku armed form to attach over the light armor form, and the spring gimmick in the left arm can fire three projectiles (Shinobi Shikoro, Shinobi Kunai, and Platinum Hang). All three projectiles can also be stored on the back of the left shoulder.

The return of the spring-launch gimmick after a long absence, plus the ability to swap between two armor configurations for just ¥500, are the main selling points here. Overall, it's a solid and enjoyable SD Musha Gundam kit. :-)
