Bandai SDW HEROES Tenkamuso Daishogun

$19.99 AUD $30.99
Nobunaga Gundam Epyon's promoted form from the SDW Heroes Kirahagane story, with a deployable backpack cannon and two phoenix transformations, one of them a separate support mecha. Snap-fit and moulded in white, gold, dark grey and red, with a sticker sheet covering the front. Reviewers found the thick armour limits posing, so it suits display and transformation more than action poses.

Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai SDW HEROES Tenkamuso Daishogun

Nobunaga Gundam Epyon, promoted to Great General

Tenkamusodaishogun is the new outfit Bandai gave Nobunaga Gundam Epyon in the SD Gundam World Heroes "Kirahagane Story" line, and Bandai's own text calls it a lavish new shogun with a large volume of parts. It carries a big backpack with cannons and wing blades. It went on sale in Japan on 16 March 2024.

Build difficulty

Skill Level 2. Bandai rates the kit for ages 8 and up. It is snap-fit and moulded in colour, so no glue is needed and painting is optional, but you will want nippers to take the parts off the runners. The two phoenix transformations are plug-in swaps rather than fiddly engineering, and Japanese reviewers describe them as quick. The catch is the armour: it is thick, so posing takes patience (see What to watch for).

Technical highlights

  • Two phoenix forms. The kit itself transforms into its Ultra Phoenix form, and rearranging only the weapons and backpack makes the Zero Phoenix support mecha (Bandai).
  • The sword stores inside the buster cannon, and the backpack cannon can be deployed (Bandai).
  • Elbow joints for a wider range of poses. One reviewer notes they are simple axle joints rather than ball joints.
  • Parts are moulded in white, dark grey, gold and wine red, plus a dark blue hair plume, with a sticker sheet covering some front details. The kit has no clear parts and no Kirahagane foil parts of its own.
  • Accepts the Kirahagane parts that come with the separately sold Onmitsu Gundam Aerial (Bandai). One reviewer fitted it in place of the chest centre part.

What makes this kit special

  • Ultra Phoenix mode: the whole kit folds into a long flying phoenix. One reviewer measured it at about 29 cm nose to tail.
  • Zero Phoenix support mecha: swap only the backpack and weapons and the cannon backpack becomes its own phoenix, leaving the main figure free to pose.
  • Cannon and sword gimmicks: the backpack cannon deploys and the sword slides into the buster.
  • Nobunaga Epyon heritage: reviewers comparing the two kits can still pick out the Epyon design cues in the helmet, collar and back.
  • Kirahagane upgrade path: the Kirahagane parts from Onmitsu Gundam Aerial fit, if you want some foil colour on the chest.

What's in the box

  • Runners for the main body, backpack and wing units
  • Sword
  • Weapon set (the buster cannon)
  • Joint parts used for the phoenix transformations
  • Sticker sheet
  • Instruction manual

Not included: a display stand, and any Kirahagane parts. Bandai's promotional photos show parts from other kits, which are sold separately.

Compatible accessories

The kit has a Kirahagane-compatible chest, and Bandai lists the Kirahagane parts that come with Bandai SDW HEROES Onmitsu Gundam Aerial as a fit. No display base is included. One reviewer displayed the main form on a standard 3mm peg stand, which is sold separately.

What to watch for

Drawing on Japanese builder reviews and blog build reports (the kit has little English-language written coverage, mostly video):

  • Several reviewers found the backpack comes off the back easily when an arm or shoulder brushes it. One found it falls off even with all three of its pins seated.
  • Several reviewers agree the armour is thick and the parts interfere with each other, so poses are limited. Two reviewers note a shoulder armour piece is fixed in place to suit the transformation, which stops the arms raising far to the side and clashes with the forearm armour.
  • Reviewers also report that the sticker sheet only covers the front, and that the back, wings, cape and cannon are moulded in a single colour and need paint if you want the box-art finish.
  • Two reviewers note the Ultra Phoenix form has no stand hole, so it is hard to display in the air.
  • One reviewer found the heavy backpack tips the kit backwards unless you balance the pose.
  • One reviewer found the gold waist piece between the upper and lower body shifts easily, and warns that the small chest bead part is easy to lose when swapping it.

Builder tip: take the shoulder armour and backpack off when you want to move the arms freely, as one reviewer found this removes most of the interference.

Build notes

No glue needed. Nippers are recommended for taking parts off the runners, and a hobby knife is handy for tidying the gates. Painting is optional. Suitable for ages 8 and up per Bandai.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SDW HEROES Tenkamusodaishogun?

It is the Great General outfit for Nobunaga Gundam Epyon in Bandai's SD Gundam World Heroes Kirahagane story line. Bandai released it in Japan on 16 March 2024.

Does it transform?

Yes, two ways. The kit itself transforms into its Ultra Phoenix form, and rearranging only the weapons and backpack makes the Zero Phoenix support mecha. Reviewers describe both swaps as quick, and the Ultra Phoenix form has no stand hole for aerial display.

Does it come with Kirahagane parts?

No. Reviewers confirm it has no Kirahagane foil parts and no clear parts of its own. It can take the Kirahagane parts that come with the separately sold Onmitsu Gundam Aerial.

Does it need glue or paint?

No glue. It builds from snap-fit parts moulded in white, gold, dark grey and red, and a sticker sheet covers some front details. Reviewers say the back and many small details would need paint to match the box art, but painting is optional.

Is it suitable for first-time builders?

Bandai rates it for ages 8 and up and it needs no glue, so a newcomer can finish it. The thick armour interferes when posing, which reviewers found fiddly, so go gently with the joints and the backpack.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
