--- SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW plastic model common notes -----------------
This lineup was newly launched alongside the 2010 anime "SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors," and uses its own independent numbering separate from the regular 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 and armaments, though some have no additional parts at all. On top of that, extra eye seals have been added. 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 has gone up slightly to ¥600.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the SD Shin Kakuka Virsago, released as No. 37 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's based on the existing BB Senshi No. 356 SD Kakuka Virsagowith only the molded colors changed — no new parts have been added whatsoever. The only addition is one extra eye seal, and the color change is so subtle (just a slightly different shade of yellow) that it's honestly hard to tell the two versions apart. Everything else is identical to the original Kakuka Virsago, so for this review you really just need to check out the updated molded colors. :-)
