Armor and weapons removed

The inner body, Bright.

An extra eye seal is included for Bright.

The weapons include the Zanbuto and Shotgun, and you can combine the two into the Dengeki Zanbuto.

The weapons can also be stored on the back of the head.

When transforming from Bright to Buraimaru, lowering the ear structures automatically swaps the eyes.

For the transformation, you extend the waist downward and lock the top and bottom in place with the backpack.

SD Buraimaru - You can recombine the weapons to form the Hekkouyi (Metal Wing Mode). (1/3)

You can recombine the weapons to form the Hekkouyi (Metal Wing Mode).

Bright and the Hekkouyi form can be configured independently.

Deploying the four Jeolindo hidden in the shoulders and feet lets you configure the Insok form.

With the Jeolindo deployed, rearranging the wings and weapons lets you form the Hekkoujeongjo (Metal Thunderbird) as well.

Together with the previous release, SD Yakshinhwan.

This kit is the SD Buraimaru, released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Maruden 2 series. It's a kit defined by its black armor and numerous blades — remove the armor and you get the inner body known as Bright. There's a neat gimmick where lowering the mechanism on the side of the head automatically changes the eyes, and the waist can be extended and locked in place with the backpack.

The weapons include the Zanbuto and Shotgun, which can be combined into the Dengeki Zanbuto, and they can also be stored on the back of the head. On top of that, there are several alternate forms to play around with: the Hekkouyi (Metal Wing Mode) made by recombining just the weapons, the Hekkoujeongjo (Metal Thunderbird) made by recombining both the body and weapons, and the Insok form achieved by deploying the four Jeolindo hidden in the shoulders and feet. As a bonus, an extra eye seal for Bright is also included.

The big selling point of this kit is all the different forms you can transform it into — it's got a pretty distinct personality as far as SD Musha Gundams go. :-)
