This kit is the SD Seiro Gundam, released as part of the SD Gundam Musha Banjou Fuunroku series. It's a couple kit with the previous SD Crimson Lion Gundam, and compared to the Black Dragon/White Emperor Gundam couple that had very little visual difference beyond color, this one shows quite a bit more distinct personality.

The basic structure and the front/rear half recombination feature are still the same as the Crimson Lion Gundam, but the ability to combine two weapons plus four shields in various configurations is unique to the Seiro Gundam. As a bonus, you can also attach and detach a clear scope on the head. On top of that, you can reconfigure it on its own into a beast form called Howling Mode, and by bringing the weapons into the mix, you can also achieve an additional form called the Stealth Wolf.

The front/rear half collaboration feature with SD Crimson Lion Gundam into the Giant Beast King form is still a pretty involved process, but it's at least more stable than the Black Dragon/White Emperor Gundam collab. Sure, there are still some iffy connection points, but it's an improvement over the previous kit where just getting it to stand still was a struggle. The combined form also looks more visually harmonious compared to the Giant Warrior form. (For reference, the Crimson Lion Gundam manual calls it the "Giant Beast Form" while the Seiro Gundam manual calls it the "Giant Beast King Form," so the naming is a bit inconsistent.)

Either way, this is a kit that shows improved durability and visuals over the Black Dragon/White Emperor Gundam, and it's really the kind of kit that's best enjoyed as a pair with the Crimson Lion Gundam. :-)
