This kit is the Tensho Karyudo Mk-II, released as part of the SD Gundam Force Kaiken Musha Retsuden Muka Muga series. It can also be converted into Bajam General — based on Bajam, the brother unit of the Mk-II — and you can put together all sorts of different mechs through various weapon combinations.

By combining the weapons, you can build mechs called Musha Eagle and Tekki Eagle, and if you gather just the armor pieces together, you can turn them into a display stand form. Lower the visor hidden inside the helmet and combine it with the main body to get Super Musha Eagle Mode — and there are wheels on the bottom, so you can push it along like a mini car and watch it zoom off! You can also reconfigure the weapons to build Mach Battle Mode, which comes equipped with a massive crossbow. All in all, it's a kit that's a lot of fun to play around with thanks to all the different combinations you can make.

The articulation is also a step up from older SD kits — the arms and wrists each rotate independently, which makes it much easier to get the right angle when posing with weapons. The Eagle Top weapon also has a spring-launch gimmick built in, and there's an extra open left hand included that you can swap in. On the crossover side of things, you can equip SD Gangryeol Gigyesa ZZ's weapons onto the light armor mode, and you can attach SD Sonyeon Geomsa Ramhwan's head antenna to Bajam General's helmet.

It's a kit that lets you enjoy not just Bajam but all kinds of combinations based on the Mk-II, and considering the ¥600 price tag, it's pretty solid value for money. :-)
