Together with the previous release, SD Musha 0 Bishougun

This kit is the SD Marujuika & Kaijumaru released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Maruden 3 series. The name might make it sound like two separate kits bundled together, but Kaijumaru — a Musha Gundam — is the main figure here, and when you detach its armor pieces and recombine them, they form Marujuika, which takes the shape of a squid-like mecha.

First, remove all the armor and you get the base body called Tono. Attach just the feet to that and you have Kaijumaru Type 1, and equip all the weapons to get Kaijumaru Type 2. From there, combine just the feet and backpack to build the Marujuika body, and attach all the weapons to complete Marujuika in its four-legged squid form.

Honestly, Marujuika — the quirky squid mecha — has more personality than the main figure Kaijumaru, and if you're into this kind of unusual concept, this kit might be right up your alley. :-)
