<SD Chibi Senshi Series — General Notes> --------------------------------------------
The SD Chibi Senshi series ran from 1992 to 1994 and features the smallest SD Gundams around, standing just about 4.5–5cm tall — which is exactly where the "chibi" (little one) name comes from. It's a lineup that takes SD Gundam characters from various series and turns them into simple, compact plastic model kits.

Every Chibi Senshi kit can be built in frame mode by simply attaching the head, arms, and legs to a frame. The frame included is one of six types chosen at random: No. 1 Speed Frame, No. 2 Agility Frame, No. 3 Radar Frame, No. 4 Power Frame, No. 5 Knowledge Frame, or No. 6 Mobility Frame.

Given the simple construction, articulation is pretty basic — just the arms, feet, and head rotating. Most kits come with a chibi medal included, and if you collect several you can link them together, which is a nice touch. Some kits also offer a transformation feature through parts recombination, or come with a separate stand for displaying the armor. One more thing to note: the original release price was ¥300, which was about as cheap as it gets, but reprints from 2008 onward have gone up to ¥400 due to inflation, so keep that in mind.

This is SD Knight Gundam GP03 Jr., released as No. 6 in the SD Chibi Senshi series — a character from SD Gundam Gaiden: Seisenshi Monogatari. Like the Burning Knight Gundam F91 Jr. and Knight Gundam GP01 Jr., it's another knight-type Gundam kit, and it comes with the same features: a cape made by cutting out part of the manual, and a stand for displaying the armor. With this release, the Chibi Senshi Knight Gundam trio is complete — these three are definitely more fun to build together! :-)
