--- 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 separate numbering system independent of the existing BB Senshi line. Most kits in the lineup are essentially repackaged versions of the original 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 armaments, though some have no additional parts at all. On top of that, extra eye seals are included. 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 Choukou Zaku III, released as No. 41 in the SD Gundam Sangokuden BBW series. It's based on the existing BB Senshi No. 320 SD Choukou Zaku IIIwith only the molded colors changed — there are absolutely no newly added parts. Other kits at least came with a few extra seals, but this one doesn't even have that. That said, the molded color changes are significant enough that you can clearly tell the two versions apart just by color alone. Anyway, everything else is identical to the original Choukou Zaku III, so for this review you really just need to check out the updated molded colors. :-)
