--- SD Sangokuden general notes -----------------
The SD Sangokuden lineup was released between 2007 and 2010, and all the kits share a consistent, standardized format. The head and waist rotate, and the arms and legs use ball joints, giving them more flexible articulation than older SD kits. The ball joints do tend to pop out during posing, but overall joint strength is pretty decent.

Each kit has a stamp on the sole of the foot with the Three Kingdoms character's name carved in Chinese characters, and slide molds are used on the arms and some other parts for a cleaner finish. Removing the outer armor to get a light armor type is similar to earlier kits, and depending on the kit, some fairly large weapons are included too. System injection runners and color separation across four to five or more colors are also applied, so even with a small number of seals, the straight build looks great right out of the box. All in all, this is a series that delivers a consistently solid level of quality, and it's safe to say it was a hit that did a lot to bring SD kits to a wider audience.
------------------------------------------------------

This is the fifth kit released in the Sangokuden series — SD Sousou Gundam, based on the Double X Gundam. Its standout feature is the large cape on its back. Detach the cape and you can mount it spread open on the front or back of the shoulders, letting you create scenes that really set it apart from other kits.

The Yangudu is included as a weapon, and the left hand has the index finger pointing out, so you can pull off some pretty unique poses. Either way, as one of the central characters of the Three Kingdoms story, this kit can be combined with many other Sangokuden kits down the line — and honestly, that versatility alone makes it worth recommending. :-)
