From Gundam Build Fighters comes the Star Winning Gundam of Fumina Hoshino that was released as a Super Deformed Kit by Bandai. Initially I thought that with the number of pages in the manual that there was just too much manual for a Super Deformed kit, then I realized that this mecha can transform to "Real Mode", where in takes the shape of a realistic looking Gundam. Really ingenious if you ask me on the part of the designers of this mecha. It's what I refer to as doing a Kawamori *snicker*
