----- SD Legend BB plastic model general notes ------------------------
The SD Legend BB line, which launched in 2012, is an upgraded lineup that reimagines the major SD kits from the old Musha and Knight Gundam series using the latest technology. The engineering is on a completely different level from older SD kits, and the key improvements are as follows.

- Size increased by roughly 1.5x
- Reduced seal usage with significantly improved color separation
- Latest polycaps introduced, improving articulation and the feel of movement
- Elbow articulation added, and shoulders can now swing forward
- Disassemble the head and rotate the eyes 180° to swap to a different eye style (Zaku-type units get an added mono-eye rotation gimmick)
- 4 types of eye seals included (some kits include 2 of each)
- 1–2 additional hand types included

Beyond that, the Legend BB line also includes some original units that didn't exist before, though the variety isn't huge. Everything comes out at a high quality level, and it's a lineup that's earned a lot of love not just from SD fans but from Gunpla fans in general.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the Full Armor Knight Gundam, released as the 9th entry in the SD Legend BB line. It's essentially an upgraded version of the Three Sacred Treasures equipped state that was included with the original SD Knight Gundam — so in the Legend BB line, the standard Knight Gundam and the Three Sacred Treasures equipped version ended up being released separately.

The Three Sacred Treasures consist of the Sword of Fire, the Shield of Strength, and the Armor of Mist, and the inner body parts are identical to the existing Legend BB Knight Gundam. That said, the inner body's color has been changed to blue throughout, so when you display it next to the Knight Gundam it definitely has a distinctly different look. Everything else about this kit is the same as the Legend BB Knight Gundam, aside from the changed armor and molded colors.

It's a little disappointing that the Three Sacred Treasures weren't bundled together with the Legend BB Knight Gundam, but I guess the upside is that it ended up feeling like a completely different kit — so that's something to appreciate. :-)
