<Common notes for the SD Gundam Force series> --------------------------------------------
SD Gundam Force is an anime that aired in 2004. Since it was aimed at younger kids, the model kit lineup was also released as simple 300-yen kits.

Overall, the part count is kept to a minimum, and the color separation is basically three molded colors with a few seals thrown in. It's quick and easy to build, which is a plus, but the straight build visuals are relatively lacking. The hollow areas are limited to the feet and inner thighs — less than you might expect — but most of the kits have a fixed neck, with only the shoulders and feet rotating, so articulation is pretty one-dimensional. Weapons are also kept minimal at just one or two, and there are no extra accessories to speak of.

As a bonus, if you cut the right corner of the manual into 12 strips and stack them, you can flip through them with your finger to get a little animation effect — kind of like those old flip-book comics that used to come with chewing gum!

This is SD Knight of the Wings Zero, released as No. 4 in the SD Gundam Force series. It goes together simply with just 12 parts, and with three molded colors plus seals, it delivers the typical look you'd expect from this lineup. It comes with a sword and shield as weapons — nothing particularly special, but it's a fun little SD kit to enjoy. :-)
