This kit is the SD Kaiser Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Tensei Shichinin-shū series. True to the Tensei Shichinin-shū lineup, the basic build features two soft frames and excellent color separation, with only a slight hollow gap visible on the shoulders. Stickers are used fairly heavily, and the overall color scheme and combinations feel like they'll be a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it style.

Design-wise, it has large scabbards on both shoulders, and on the back are two Hiyokujin — Seisuika and Sekishouha — that can be deployed. Beyond the standard SD articulation, it also has a unique wrist rotation joint. The kit's signature pose is spreading the Hiyokujin and holding the two Renriken, though the stickers are only applied to one side of the swords, so the look can vary quite a bit depending on the angle.

Either way, it's definitely got a unique look — though it does feel like a kit that'll split opinions. :-)
