The fixing pin inside the large foot sole can be rotated 180° to switch between two sizes.
The smaller pin fits the smaller-framed Shonen Musha series, while the larger pin fits standard Musha Gundam feet.

The Mukamuka Full Armament form can also use SD Rekka Musha Gundam as the base body.

This is the Gounetsu Karakuri-shi ZZ released as part of the SD Gundam Force Kaiken Musha Retsuden - Mukamuka hen lineup. For an ¥800 kit, it's got a surprisingly big presence — a fairly standard light-armor type that gets loaded up with a hefty amount of weaponry to bulk it up into quite a sizeable build.

The outer armor pieces can be assembled separately into a big, impressive Musha Tank, and you can also equip the Gounetsu Karakuri-shi ZZ itself with the Mukamuka weapons to make it even more imposing. Articulation is pretty average, but the sheer amount of weaponry hanging off it makes for some seriously cool poses. The downside is that with so much stuff attached, parts do tend to fall off during posing, which gets a little annoying.

The real highlight of this kit is the collaboration potential. It can combine with its "son" kit, SD Yunen Gunka Raikan, to form a large and spectacular Father & Son Musha Combined Form. On top of that, the Raikan body unit can ride on the Musha Tank, and Yunen Gunka Raikan's cannon can be used with this kit's light armor form as well.

Beyond the father-and-son combo, you can also collaborate with the body and sword from SD Shonen Musha Retsuken, the chest armor from SD Shonen Kenshi Ramkan, and the wings from SD Shonen Hoshi Mukan to achieve the "Mukamuka Full Armament Form." At that point, you can even swap in SD Rekka Musha Gundam as the base body.

All in all, the collaboration play is really where this kit shines — and it sounds like it'd be even more fun if you build it alongside the son kit, SD Yunen Gunka Raikan. :-)
