--- SD Gundam World Heroes - General Notes -----------------
This is a TV anime series made as a follow-up to the 2021 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 even the material feel 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 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, and the price feels pretty reasonable for what you get.
------------------------------------------------------

This kit is the SD Saizo Gundam Delta Kai, released as No. 22 in the SD Gundam World Heroes line. It's an SD kit based on the Gundam Delta Kai concept, with the three shurikens on the back and back of the head being the main highlight. Overall, it stays faithful to the series concept.

For weapons, you get the sword Izuna, which can be stored on the rear skirt, and the Rokumon Shuriken Mujina, which mounts on the backpack. The Mujina can be detached from the backpack and held in the hand, and with the extra right hand included, you can pull off some pretty cool poses.

It's a new SD Gundam World Heroes kit with a fresh design executed at a solid quality level — if the style appeals to you, it seems like a fun little SD kit to enjoy casually. :-)
