--- 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 on heroes from various eras as its motif. The plastic model line follows the same concept as Soketsuden, and even reuses the shared frame runners from that series. On top of that, the way all the parts are structured and even the feel of the plastic are identical, so it's really not much of a stretch to just call these the same Sangoku Soketsuden series kits rather than a true successor line.

Like the Sangoku Soketsuden kits, these are made at Bandai's Chinese factory rather than the Shizuoka plant, and the plastic still feels hard and the assembly is a tight fit. On the flip side, the intricate molding and color separation give you a great straight build right out of the box, and the kits feel pretty reasonably priced for what you get.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the SD War Horse, released as number 7 in the SD Gundam World Heroes line. Various horse kits have come out before in the SD Sangoku series and Musha Gundam lines, but this War Horse looks like the biggest and best-proportioned of the bunch. It looks clean on its own, but it's also designed to serve as a mount for various SD kits.

The basic articulation covers the neck, tail, and legs, and there's a retractable stand pin on the underside of the body. You can extend and open up the midsection to comfortably seat another SD kit on top. There's a fixing pin on the saddle that plugs into the hole at the bottom of the hip frame on Sangoku Soketsuden or World Heroes SD kits, so you can lock the rider in place more securely than on any other horse kit out there.

All in all, this is a War Horse that's compatible with most SD Gundam World Heroes and Sangoku Soketsuden kits that use the shared frame, and it really does seem like a kit with great versatility and a solid feel to it. :-)
