Together with the original SD Ryūjin Dōsha Nu

This kit is the SD Sanada Yukimura Gundam, released as part of the SD Sengoku-den Mushin Kōrin series. It's essentially BB Senshi No. 275 Ryūjin Dōsha Nu with a changed molded color and a few extra accessories thrown in.

The molded colors are pretty close to the original kit, aside from the chest area changing from black to red. Sure, the colors are a touch more muted than before, but as a color variation it doesn't feel like it brings much to the table. Structurally, only the helmet antennae and decorations have been changed, and a flag that you cut out from the manual has been added. All the gimmicks from Ryūjin Dōsha Nu are carried over as well — the Hiryū is simply renamed Kanryū, but the ability to reconfigure into Musha Kanryū and Ryūjin Dōsha forms works exactly the same.

Much like the previous Naoe Kanetsugu Gundam, there's very little changed outside of the helmet, and the molded color differences are pretty subtle too — so this one feels like a kit that's a bit lacking in value compared to what you'd hope for. :-)
