--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW Plastic Model — General Notes -----------------
This lineup was launched alongside the 2010 anime "SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors," and it uses its own independent numbering separate from the regular BB Senshi line. Most of the kits are essentially repackaged versions of the existing BB Senshi Sangokuden kits, while a few were released as original kits.

The repackaged kits come with minor molded color changes along with added weapons or equipment, though some have no additional parts at all. Extra eye seals are also included across the board. So honestly, a lot of these kits feel pretty much like straight color variants. Another notable change is that "Shin" has been added to the front of each kit's name, and the base price has gone up slightly to ¥600.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is SD Shin Chou-un Gundam Hieisen, released as No. 33 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's based on the BB Senshi No. 311 SD Chou-un Gundam & Hieisenwith updated molded colors, plus added armor parts for Hieisen and new joint parts. The molded color changes are pretty subtle — not a huge difference overall — but the biggest change is the gold armor added to Hieisen's head and chest.

The armor added to Hieisen's shoulders can also be attached to the sides of the Musoukyoku-Ram, and joint parts for mounting the standard weapons San and Fu have been added as well — letting you rack the weapons on Chou-un Gundam's wings and alongside Hieisen's rear legs. Everything else is identical to the original SD Chou-un Gundam & Hieisen, so for this review you really just need to check out the molded color changes and the new parts. :-)
