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

- Size increased by roughly 1.5x
- Reduced seal usage with significantly improved color separation
- Updated polycaps applied, improving articulation and the feel of movement
- Elbow articulation added, and shoulders can now swing forward
- Disassemble the head and rotate the eyes 180 degrees to swap to a different eye style (Zaku-type units get a mono-eye rotation gimmick)
- 4 types of eye seals included (some kits include 2)
- 1–2 additional alternate 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 in the lineup is high quality, and it's been a hit not just with SD fans but with Gunpla fans in general.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the Nidaime Gundam Daishogun, released as the 10th entry in the SD Legend BB line. It's an upgrade of the original SD Gundam Daishogun — and since a separate Shodai (first generation) Gundam Daishogun exists, the kit that was originally just called "Gundam Daishogun" effectively becomes the second generation here.

The overall package stays true to the Legend BB concept, and the system of combining the separately detachable armaments with the Phoenix to form Musha Phoenix is carried over from the original kit. On top of that, a new Musha Fortress mode has been added by reconfiguring the main body and armaments. There's also a newly added configuration where you attach separate armaments to the inner frame to recreate the red Raihou Gundam look. And as mentioned, you can fold the head antenna back to put it in Head Buster mode.

With all the original features plus a bunch of new functions and gimmicks on top, this kit really shows off what a top-tier upgrade looks like. In terms of sheer size and overall solidity, it ranks among the best in the Legend BB lineup. If you have any nostalgia for Gundam Daishogun, this one's a must-have. :-)
