--- SD Sangokuden Plastic Model — General Notes -----------------
The SD Sangokuden is a lineup released between 2007 and 2009, and all kits share a standardized format with consistent characteristics. The head and waist rotate, while the arms and legs use ball-joint construction, 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 engraved in Chinese characters, and slide molds are used on the arms and certain parts for a cleaner finish. Removing the outer armor to achieve a light-armor look is similar to previous kits, and depending on the kit, large-scale weapons are sometimes included. 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. It's a consistently solid series that really helped bring SD kits to a wider audience — a genuine hit.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the 29th release in the Sangokuden series — the SD Nanhou Kiba Tai — representing the mounted cavalry of the southern tribal forces. The contents are essentially a recolor of the existing SD Troop Soldier and Hakugin Ryuseiba/Hieizan kits combined into one set, with only the molded colors changed. So all the characteristics are completely identical to those kits. You get a Southern Army soldier that feels more like a bonus freebie in terms of quality, along with the Asura cavalry which is a decent enough build.

This feels like a kit where quantity matters more than quality — the kind you'd want to build in bulk when assembling a full Southern Army force. :-)
