Together with SD Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam

This is the Hyper Captain Gundam released as part of the SD Gundam Force series. It was never released as a standalone SD Gundam Force kit, so the BB Senshi version is the only way to get it. The name is the same Captain Gundam, but it shares absolutely no parts with the previously released SD Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam — it's a completely new sculpt.

As you can see from the design, it's based on the Gundam GP01 Full Burnern, and the beam sabers on the backpack can be angled forward like weapons or detached and combined with beam parts. You can also use the included joint parts to connect two beam saber handles into a single combined weapon. The joint structure uses ball-joint polycaps, same as the previous kit, and like the Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam it offers surprisingly flexible articulation — though parts do tend to pop off fairly easily during posing.

Among the BB Senshi SD Gundam Force lineup, this is the kit with the strongest sense of originality, and the overall quality is excellent too — so if you're a Gundam Force fan, this one's a must-have. :-)
