--- SD Sangokuden model kit general notes -----------------
The SD Sangokuden lineup was released between 2007 and 2010, and all kits share a standardized format with consistent features. The head and waist rotate, and the arms and legs use ball joints, giving them more flexible articulation compared to 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 bottom of the feet with the character's name engraved in kanji, and slide molds are used on the arms and certain other parts for a cleaner finish. Removing the outer armor to get a light armor type is similar to previous entries in the line, and depending on the kit, some fairly large weapons are included. On top of that, system injection runners and color separation across four to five or more colors mean you get a great-looking straight build with minimal seals. All in all, this is a consistently solid series that really helped bring SD kits to a wider audience — a genuine hit.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the 8th release in the Sangokuden series — SD Kakouton Giros — and as the name suggests, it's based on the Berga Giros from Gundam F91. It features a distinctive one-eyed design and comes with a weapon called the Sakotsugooken, which can switch between a sword and a whip.

Inside the Sakotsugooken is a metal chain, so you can separate the sword's five segments and use it like a whip. There's also an extra open left hand included, which adds a nice little point of difference. Either way, this is a kit with a strong personality in both looks and weaponry — if you're a Sangokuden fan, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
