--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW plastic model general notes -----------------
This lineup was newly launched alongside the 2010 anime "SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors," and it uses its own independent numbering separate from the existing BB Senshi line. Basically, a good number of the kits are repackaged versions of the original BB Senshi Sangokuden kits, while some were released as all-new original kits.

The repackaged kits come with slight molded color changes along with added weapons or armaments, though some have no additional parts at all. On top of that, extra eye seals have been added. So honestly, quite a few of the kits feel like little more than simple color variants. Another notable change is that "Shin" has been added to the front of each kit's name, and the base price went up slightly to ¥600.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is SD Shin Kousonsan Ez-8, released as number 9 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's an original BBW series kit that never appeared in the BB Senshi line, and it does a great job capturing the color scheme and design of the Ez-8. Weapons include the Muskdeer Beauty and White Phosphorus Sword, and the cape on the back is built so that each side moves independently. Everything else stays true to the Sangokuden series concept, but thanks to the articulated cape, this kit feels like it has a bit more presence and impact in poses than the others. :-)
