--- SD Gundam World Heroes — general notes -----------------
This is a TV anime series made in 2021 as a follow-up to Sangoku Soketsuden, and just like the title "World Heroes" suggests, it draws on heroes from various eras as its motif. The model kits follow the same concept as Soketsuden, and even the shared frame runners from Soketsuden are reused as-is. 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.

Also like the Soketsuden kits, these are made at Bandai's China 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 Gundam World Heroes No. 34 — Nobunaga's War Horse. It's based on the previously released SD War Horsewith new molding added on top. As an accessory designed to be ridden by the separately sold SD Nobunaga Gundam Epyon, it comes with various armor pieces and accessories added.

The base body itself, minus the extra armor, is identical to the original war horse, so the articulation features and rider deployment gimmick carry over unchanged. As a bonus accessory, a two-row saddle is included that attaches over the hind legs to make it a two-seater. Being Nobunaga's personal mount, the colors and style match well with SD Nobunaga Gundam Epyon. And with the saddle attached, you can even add the SD Hero Reborn Resurrection Goku Impulse Gundam & Sanzang Strike Freedom set's included Resurrection Goku Impulse Gundam (Childhood) as a second rider.

As you can see, this kit puts on quite a flashy display when combined with the other kits in the lineup. If you already have SD Nobunaga Gundam Epyon, this one is definitely worth picking up. :-)
