--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW plastic model 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 slight molded color changes along with added weapons or equipment, though some have no additional parts at all. Eye seals have also been expanded with more options. So honestly, a good number of these kits feel like little more than simple color variants. Other notable changes include the addition of "Shin" to the front of each kit's name, and the base price went up slightly to 600 yen.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is SD Shin Gouka Ryuusou Ryubi Gundam, released as No. 21 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's a DX-class large kit — essentially a big-scale version of the Shin Ryuushou Yuubi Gundam — and with the increased size comes a noticeable upgrade over the standard SD in just about every way.

At first glance it looks like a straight 2x enlargement of the SD Shin Ryuushou Yuubi Gundam, but look closer and you'll spot differences in the details throughout. The gold patterns on the shoulders and feet are cleanly rendered using gold-plated parts with proper color separation, and a clear part layered over the eyes adds a nice sense of depth. On top of that, gold plating is also applied to the chest ducts, the gold sections on the head antenna and skirt, and the post-awakening Ryuuseiken — all of which give the kit a really premium feel.

Befitting a large kit, the elbows and knees both bend, and sturdy polycaps keep everything nice and tight. The fingers are articulated too — the 4th and 5th fingers are joined, but all the others move individually. As for special gimmicks, there's now a function where you turn the pin at the back of the head to rotate and swap the eyes via a gear mechanism, and there's also a linked wing gimmick where moving one side automatically moves the other.

Bonus parts include Kiaryuu's tail/shoulder armor and Rairyuu's tail/shoulder armor — originally parts from Shin Raishou Choubi Gundam and Shin Kiashou Kanuu Gundam respectively. You can attach them to this kit to create the Trinity form, and a dedicated display stand is included so you can show it off that way. There's also a small action base joint part included so you can mount it on an action base.

All in all, this kit lives up to its "Gouka" (luxurious) title by making full use of everything a large kit can offer. The build quality is excellent with nothing to complain about, so if you're a fan of large SD kits packed with gimmicks like this one, it's a definite recommendation. :-)
