--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW Plastic Model General Notes -----------------
This is a lineup that 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 existing BB Senshi Sangokuden kits, while some were released as original kits.

The repackaged kits come with slight molded color changes along with added weapons or soldiers, though some have no additional parts at all. Eye stickers have also been added. So honestly, a lot of these kits feel pretty much like straight 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 Ten-i Asshimar & Kaku Ashtaron Koujou Heiki Set, released as No. 31 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. True to its long name, this is a packed set that includes Ten-i Asshimar and Kaku Ashtaron along with two foot soldiers and a siege weapon.

First up, the Ten-i Asshimar captures Asshimar's distinctive design and concept really well, and it comes with an axe weapon called the Hodaibu. Asshimar's signature MA transformation is recreated here as a transformation into a large axe-shaped Daibu form, and when you use some of the siege weapon parts together with it, it can be used as a weapon for SD Shin Kourenjo Cao Cao Gundam. A simple clear stand is included for this purpose, and the Daibu form holds together reasonably well once transformed. Also, since there's no hip joint structure, the legs have a much wider range of motion than a typical SD kit.

Kaku Ashtaron comes with a weapon called the Shinseijo, and if you detach the armor and combine it, you can build a scorpion mech called the Dokugalki. You can even add the Kaku Ashtaron body itself to configure it into the Magal form. On top of that, placing the back structure on the head lets you recreate an assassin form as well. In terms of articulation, the armor design does make it feel a bit more restricted than your average SD kit. As for the two foot soldiers, they're identical to the existing SD Shin foot soldiers in molded color — the only difference is the flag.

The siege weapon can be configured into four different forms: catapult cart, battering ram, siege tower, and warship. In the catapult cart form, pulling the lever using the rubber band gimmick deploys the catapult in three stages, letting you recreate the effect of it launching. Once you've set up the various configurations, you can arrange the other characters around them for all kinds of display scenes. The ram unit can also be detached separately and displayed with a foot soldier holding it.

All in all, this is a really varied and content-packed set, and the quality of each individual piece is solid too — if you're a Sangokuden fan, this looks like a kit you'll have a lot of fun with. :-)
