--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW model kit general notes -----------------
This lineup was launched alongside the 2010 anime "SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors," and uses its own numbering system separate from the regular BB Senshi line. Most kits in the lineup are essentially repackaged versions of the existing BB Senshi Sangokuden kits, while a few were released as original kits.

The repackaged kits come with slightly changed molded colors along with added weapons or accessories, though some have no additional parts at all. They also include extra eye seals compared to the originals. So honestly, a lot of these 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 Sonsaku Physalis Gundam, released as No. 17 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's based on the existing BB Senshi No. 349 SD Sonsaku Physalis Gundamwith only the molded colors changed — there are absolutely no new parts. That said, it does include two types of eye and flag seals as extras, similar to Shin Hahouyen Gyros. The molded colors are overall a touch darker than before, and everything else is identical to the original Sonsaku Physalis, so for this review you really just need to check out the color changes. :-)
