Personal Note (from Ah Chong)

MGSD Barbatos is a good example of how much engineering can be packed into an SD-sized kit. The linked movement gimmicks and internal frame details make it enjoyable not just to display, but also to pose and handle. If you like Barbatos and want something smaller than MG but more complex than standard SD kits, this one sits right in the middle.
