--- BB Senshi Sangokuden Gaiden Buyuu Gekitourok common kit notes -----------------
Sangokuden Gaiden Buyuu Gekitourok is a side story to SD Sangokuden, featuring 12 characters who don't appear in the main series — each getting their own episode as the protagonist. A total of 12 kits were released, all of them variation kits based on existing releases with one or two new runners added. Most use kits from the 90s through 2003 as their base, so compared to the SD Sangokuden kits they tend to be smaller and feel a bit lower in quality. The biggest highlight of this series seems to be that each character has their own unique finishing move.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the 4th release in the Sangokuden Gaiden Buyuu Gekitourok series — SD Kyocho Gundam — and is based on the SD Yuanzhong Wudi & Huawei Shuhuan released in 2003. The molded colors have been changed to a more subdued gray and yellow scheme, with updated shoulder, arm, and chest armor along with added weapon accessories.

The new Steel Ball weapon can be combined with the Five-Enemy Steel Sword to form the Heavy Iron Sword, and it comes with a finishing move called the "Heavy Iron Ball Chain," where the Steel Ball on the Heavy Iron Sword spins to attack. There are no bonus stickers or extra gimmicks beyond that, so there's less new stuff compared to previous entries in the series.

Compared to the original kit's toy-like color scheme, this one has a more warrior-like feel to it, which is its main selling point. Since it's based on a Maruden kit, the kit itself is decently sized and doesn't feel like a huge step down in quality. At least it seems like a more accessible release than the SD Yuanzhong Wudi & Huawei Shuhuan :-)
