BB Senshi Original Design Argama

The spring gimmick lets you launch the head antenna.

To seat it in the Argama, you need to fold the crotch in and lower the feet.

Among the weapons, the shield can be mounted on the back.

You can cut out part of the manual and attach it as a cape.

Typical SD-grade articulation — the head, arms, and feet rotate.

Together with SD Argas Knight Z

This kit is the SD Kihei Densetsu Seiryu Knight Z Gundam, released as part of the SD Gundam Eiyuden series. The name sounds pretty grand, but it's actually a color variant of the previously released BB071 SD Argas Knight Gundam from the SD Gundam Gaiden: Zieg Zeon arc. Not a single part has been changed — it's a 100% pure color variant kit.

That said, the molded colors are different, so it does have a noticeably different feel. The head antenna launch gimmick, the included Argama, the weapon loadout, and even the cut-out-the-manual-for-a-cape feature are all exactly the same.

Anyway, there's nothing new here, so this review is really just about checking out the new color scheme. And if they were going to recycle the kit anyway, it would've been nice if they'd at least thrown in some extra weapons or accessories — a bit of a missed opportunity there. :-)
