This is the SD Mushamaru Hishogun, released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Maruden 3 series. The first thing that hits you is the overall bright red color scheme, and on its back it sports a backpack that transforms into a taiyaki grilling machine. ^^ Remove the weapons and you get a cute little base form called Muchatoro, and rotating the top of the head lets you switch between two different eye expressions.

For weapons, you get two swords of different lengths — Unjidai: Atari and Unjidai: Hazure — which can both be stored in a single scabbard, one on each side. You can then combine that scabbard with the backpack and spin it around like a roulette wheel, which is a fun little play feature. You can also rearrange the weapons on the main body into the Gohonjuujiki (Okonomibaorii) configuration, or combine the shoulder armor and backpack to form the weapon known as Kouraisaenta. Finally, all the separated weapon pieces can be combined into the Sekihi Armor — and honestly, it kind of looks like the Archangel from Gundam SEED.

Personally, the taiyaki grilling machine was the most memorable thing about this kit, and being able to pull off all these different weapon combinations is definitely one of its strong points. :-)
