This kit is the SD Mushikan (Bujimaru), released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Maruden 3 series. It's immediately obvious that the kit is based on Strike Gundam, and looking at the basic form, it gives off the vibe of a samurai warrior version of Launcher Strike Gundam. As a bonus, you can also attach the shoulder armor to the backpack to recreate an Aile pack-style configuration.

Removing the armor reveals the inner body known as Bushimaru-sama, and moving the top of the head lets you swap to a burning flame eye expression. The three swords of varying lengths can be stored in their scabbards or in the back of the launcher-type weapon called Otakebi (Chujukuka), and the long sword can also be mounted bayonet-style underneath the Otakebi. There's also a feature that lets you combine and rack all the weapons and armaments together, and in terms of articulation, the standard SD-level movement is supplemented by a waist rotation joint and shoulder raise joints.

This kit is especially significant for giving Strike Gundam the samurai warrior treatment, and it's a particularly recommended pick for fans of Gundam SEED. :-)
