HG Tieren Space Type - Either way, all the Tieren kits are top quality!

The third Tieren variation has arrived — the Tieren Space Type in blue. Compared to the ground type, it's got a ton of extra verniers added, giving it a much flashier look overall. Large verniers have been added all over the shoulders, torso, backpack, legs, and more, and there are big tanks mounted on both sides of the knees. On top of that, space-type weapons have been added under both shoulders and on the left arm, making it look even more impressive.

The Tieren Taozi had slightly reduced leg articulation due to its design, but with the Space Type, the legs can fold completely like the ground type again. The leg design on the Space Type in particular gets more interesting the longer you look at it — it has a pretty unique shape that seems to strike a nice balance between proportion and sculpt.

Between the articulation, joint strength, and detailed design, the HG Tieren is a top-tier kit in terms of bang for your buck among HG Gunpla, and the Space Type delivers that same great quality. Aside from the blue molded color which might be a bit hit-or-miss depending on personal taste, it might just be the best-looking kit in the Tieren lineup in terms of how rich and flashy the overall design is.

Either way, the Tieren series is the gold standard for quality HG Gunpla, and it's an easy recommendation for just about anyone. ^^
