--- 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 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 this part of the same Sangoku Soketsuden model series rather than a true successor.
Also like the 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 deliver an impressive straight build right out of the box, and the price feels pretty reasonable for what you get.

This kit is the SD War Horse - Knight World Ver., released as No. 23 in the SD Gundam World Heroes lineup. It's a version of the SD War Horsepreviously released as No. 7, color-variant in white — making it a 100% color variant. As the name implies, the coloring is designed to go with knight-themed SD Gundam kits.
Since it's just a molded color change, all the features are identical to the original SD War Horse, including the rider gimmick deployment and articulation. It's recommended to pair it with knight-themed kits like SD Arthur Gundam Mk-III, SD Knight Strike Gundam, and SD Robin Hood Gundam AGE-2.
So with this kit, just checking out the new color scheme should be plenty — and if you're into knight-style SD kits, this makes for a pretty handy accessory kit. :-)
