This kit is the SD Tensei Daishogun, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Tensei Shichinin-shu series. Being the final main character kit of the series, it's a nicely packed kit priced at ¥2000 with plenty of content. The set combines two figures — Tensei Shogun 01 in SD form and Tensei Bushin in a more standard Gundam form — which combine together to form Tensei Daishogun.

First up, Tensei Shogun 01 has a bigger, chunkier volume compared to your typical SD Gundam, and while there's nothing particularly standout about it, it pulls off a solid look overall. Tensei Bushin, on the other hand, has proportions that feel a bit awkward — probably a trade-off for the transformation gimmick. You can also disassemble and reassemble Tensei Bushin's parts to form the Kousei Phoenix (Rainbow Phoenix).

Tensei Daishogun is formed by combining Tensei Bushin onto Tensei Shogun 01 in backpack form, which ends up making Tensei Shogun 01 look like it's wearing a set of powered armor. The large wings and all the extra bits hanging off it make for quite a flashy look, but the limited range of motion means you can't really pull off many poses — pretty much the same story as earlier kits with similar combination setups.

Anyway, as befitting the finale of the series, this is a big, flashy deluxe-class SD Gundam, and if you're into large SD kits like this, it should be a pretty enjoyable build. :-)
