Together with the original SD Retsuha Musha Gundam

This kit is the SD Takeda Shingen Gundam, released as part of the SD Sengoku-den Mushin Kourin-hen series. It's essentially BB Senshi No. 267 Retsuha Musha Gundam with a changed molded color and a few extra accessories thrown in.

The main body's molded color has been changed so that the original Retsuha Musha Gundam's red and black are basically reversed. It also gets newly designed Sengoku-style head antenna, and the Hofu-sen has been added as a new weapon. On top of that, there's a flag you cut out from the manual, plus the Takeda Shingen Army Foot Soldier Bakuyu — a Ball-inspired addition — included as well.

Since the original kit was already a pretty high-quality release, this one carries that over with great articulation and a clean, solid feel. It's a reuse kit, sure, but if the design speaks to you, it's definitely a fun build. :-)
