--- SD Gundam World Heroes — general notes -----------------
This is a TV anime produced in 2021 as a follow-up to Sangoku Soketsuden, and just like 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 the feel of the plastic are identical, so it's really not much of a stretch to just call this part of the same Sangoku Soketsuden model series rather than a true successor.

Also 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 stiff to assemble. That said, the intricate molding and color separation give you a great-looking straight build right out of the box, and the price feels pretty reasonable for what you get.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is SD Robinhood Gundam AGE-2, released as No. 20 in the SD Gundam World Heroes lineup. True to its name, it's an SD rendition of Gundam AGE-2 done up in a Robin Hood concept. You get a green outfit, hat, and bow to match the character's theme.

First off, you can separate various parts to mix and match different weapon configurations. Detach the head antennae and combine them with a separate part to form a bow called the "Element Arms," and if you remove the hat and add the shoulder ornaments, you can build the Bird-Type Support Mecha. The Bird-Type Support Mecha can be displayed using the included support stand, or you can lock it into the hand for a different look. There's also a separate visor that can be attached over the eyes.

Beyond that, the main body is pretty much in line with previous releases — the articulation is still a bit limited and the joints feel stiff to move. That said, it's a kit that stays faithful to the iconic Robin Hood concept, and if the style appeals to you, it seems like a fun little build to enjoy casually. :-)
