<SD Chibi Senshi Series — General Notes> --------------------------------------------
The SD Chibi Senshi series ran from 1992 to 1994 and features the smallest kits in the SD Gundam lineup, coming in at around 4.5–5 cm tall. That's exactly where the "Chibi" (tiny) name comes from. It's a lineup that takes SD Gundam characters from various series and turns them into small, simple plastic model kits.

Every Chibi Senshi kit can be built in Frame Mode by simply attaching the head, arms, and legs to a frame. There are six frames available at random: No. 1 Speed Frame, No. 2 Agility Frame, No. 3 Radar Frame, No. 4 Power Frame, No. 5 Knowledge Frame, and No. 6 Mobility Frame.

Given the simple construction, articulation is pretty one-dimensional — just the arms, feet, and head rotating. Most kits come with a Chibi Medal, so you can collect several and link them together. Some kits also offer a transformation gimmick through parts recombination, or let you mount armor onto a separate display stand. As for pricing, the original release 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 Chibi Senshi No. 7 — the SD Super Dragon Guardian Formulander Jr., a character from Gundlander III: Dragon Guardian. The special gimmick here lets you recombine the parts to transform it into Brave God Super Gundragoon. There are quite a few parts, and it looks like there wasn't enough runner space to fit a Chibi Medal part, so you only get a medal sticker instead. Still, small as it is, the kit's charm lies in its flashy, dragon-style three-dimensional look. :-)
