--- SD Gundam World Heroes — General Notes -----------------
This is a TV anime series produced in 2021 as a follow-up to Sangoku Soketsuden, and just as the title "World Heroes" suggests, it draws inspiration from heroes across different eras. The plastic model line follows the same concept as Sangoku Soketsuden, and even reuses the same shared frame runners from that series. On top of that, the way all the parts are structured and even the material feel are identical, so it's not really a stretch to just call these the same Sangoku Soketsuden series kits rather than a proper sequel.

Like the Sangoku Soketsuden kits, these are also made at Bandai's Chinese factory rather than the Shizuoka plant, and the plastic still feels hard and stiff to assemble. That said, the intricate molding and color separation deliver a great-looking straight build right out of the box, and the price feels pretty reasonable for what you get.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is SD Sasuke Delta Gundam, released as No. 6 in the SD Gundam World Heroes line. It has a silhouette similar in feel to the old Sangoku Soketsuden kits, and can transform into Senkou Form through parts rearrangement. It even makes use of the fox mask on the side of the head to pull off a convincing fox-like form.

The weapons include a sword and scabbard called Doha (Inari), and one extra right hand is included as an accessory. There's also a weapon called the Rokumon Shuriken Mujina mounted on the back of the head. ("Mujina" means badger in Japanese.) The articulation features are the same as previous kits, and the limited range of motion still makes it tough to pull off a wide variety of poses.

The highlight of this kit is the Senkou Form — written with the kanji for "submerge" (潛) and "fox" (狐) — which transforms into a convincing four-legged fox mech. The downside is that you have to disassemble and reassemble the head, which is a bit of a hassle, and the joint structure isn't the most cooperative, so getting a clean, well-proportioned stance takes some effort.

All in all, it's a solid SD kit that's pretty much on par with its predecessors, and it seems like a good pick for anyone who enjoys the four-legged transformation gimmick. :-)
