--- SD Sangokuden common notes -----------------
The SD Sangokuden is a lineup released between 2007 and 2010, and all the kits share a standardized set of features. 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 character's name carved 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 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. All in all, it's a series that delivers a consistently solid level of quality, and you could definitely call it a hit that did a lot to bring SD kits to a wider audience.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the 27th release in the Sangokuden series — the SD Tenshouryuu Koumei Nu Gundam. As the name suggests, it's based on the Nu Gundam, though the color scheme and styling of the fin funnels feel more like they were borrowed from the Hi-Nu Gundam. The price is ¥1200, which is a little on the steep side, but the package contents are suitably premium to match.

In addition to the main Koumei Nu Gundam, a phoenix-shaped Bakuhousen is included, and the two combine to form the Tenshouryuu Koumei Nu Gundam. Combined with the Bakuhousen, the finished model has a really impressive volume — quite the presence for an SD kit. The separated Bakuhousen has articulation in the neck and legs, and the wings move in two stages as well.

The Koumei Nu Gundam comes with the Housenjin and Ryuendo as weapons, and you can rearrange its armaments to create the Fukuryuu Hishou form. By recombining it with the Bakuhousen, you can also build the large Ryuukou form, and the included clear green stand lets you display it in a mid-air pose. The stand can be disassembled and used as various effect parts — for things like the fin funnel launch scene, the Bakuhousen's tail wings, and weapon firing effects.

It's a kit packed with features, and in terms of sheer presence, it's probably one of the most impressive in the entire Sangokuden lineup. :-)
