--- SD Sangokuden General Notes -----------------
The SD Sangokuden lineup was released between 2007 and 2009, and all kits share a standardized format with consistent characteristics. Basically, the head and waist rotate, while the arms and legs use ball joints — giving them more flexible articulation compared to 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 engraved with the name of its Three Kingdoms character in kanji, and slide molds are used on the arms and some other parts for a cleaner finish. Removing the outer armor to achieve a light-armor form is similar to previous entries in the series, and depending on the kit, some pretty large weapons are included. On top of that, system injection runners and color separation across 4–5 or more colors are used, so even with a small number of seals, the straight build looks great right out of the box. It's a series that consistently delivers solid quality, and you could definitely call it a hit that did a lot to bring SD kits to the mainstream.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the 34th release in the Sangokuden series — the SD Senjingasshin Shuu Gundam — and it's a combination form made up of five units: Sima Yan Zaku II, Sima Zhao Xi Gundam, Sima Shi Penelope, Shuu Neue Ziel, and Dark Jade Seal Psycho Gundam.

Since Sima Yan Zaku II needs to be stored inside the Dark Jade Seal Psycho Gundam, it comes out much smaller than a typical SD kit. It wields an axe called the Ensei Bu, which is way bigger than its own body. Being so small, its articulation is pretty one-dimensional — only the neck, arms, and feet rotate — but honestly, the tiny size makes it kind of adorable in its own way.

Sima Zhao Xi Gundam and Sima Shi Penelope Gundam share the same basic build with different designs, and both have a unique waist structure to allow them to transform into the arms of Senjingasshin Shuu Gundam. Their size and joint structure follow the standard SD Sangokuden format, but the waist doesn't rotate. They come with the Hakuhou Bun (Xi) and Hakuhou Kyou (Penelope) as weapons, and both feel like their proportions and articulation have been sacrificed for the transformation gimmick.

Shuu Neue Ziel has a completely different format from the other SD Sangokuden kits due to its design, but the arms and waist do move, so you can pull off some aggressive poses. As a bonus, two extra eye seals with an off-center mono-eye are included, and since it has no foot soles, the stamp is engraved on the base of the stand instead — a nice little touch. In terms of overall quality and looks alone, it's probably the best of the five units.

Finally, the Dark Jade Seal Psycho Gundam lives up to its name by coming out the largest and most imposing of the bunch — you can remove some of Sima Yan Zaku II's parts and store them inside its body. Inside the head is a separate face for the Senjingasshin Shuu Gundam form, so you can swap between them, and hidden inside the large shield are blades on a movable mechanism.

Combining all five units into Senjingasshin Shuu Gundam is a pretty involved process — it's basically a full disassembly and rebuild. The finished size and presence are impressive, but parts stability is a real issue. The arms formed by Sima Zhao Xi Gundam and Sima Shi Penelope in particular feel pretty shaky — they tend to fall apart easily, and it's hard to raise the arms or hold a pose. The finger structure isn't great either, so getting the Houma Gasshin-tou — the weapon formed by combining various parts — to stay in the hands is a real pain.

There's also a feature where you can combine the two arms of the Dark Jade Seal Psycho Gundam to form the Tenma Bakurenho, but overall, as a combining robot, it leaves something to be desired in terms of durability. As a bonus collaboration, you can apply Shuu Neue Ziel's parts to SD Sun Ce Psycho Gundam to create the Shuu Majou form.

Anyway, looking at it as a combining robot, the various combination gimmicks are pretty fresh and fun, but it's a kit that leaves you wanting more when it comes to stability after combining. That said, if you've got a soft spot for combining robots, there's plenty here to keep you entertained. :-)
