Though since the beam saber parts aren't soft plastic, it doesn't quite look the part..

A fateful encounter..
These are the units of father and son..
In the show, Sergei's son pilots a GN-X III and ends up destroying Sergei's Tieren Taozi.

It might feel a bit been-there-done-that, but.. here's yet another Tieren variation kit. It's Sergei's Tieren Taozi — the last unit piloted by Sergei, who left such a strong impression in the show before going out in a blaze of glory.

At its core, it's 100% identical in structure to the previously released pink Soma Peries Tieren Taozi, with only the molded color changed to a space-type style. Unlike the vivid blue of the existing space-type molded color, it's been shifted to a slightly more matte, calmer shade of blue.

And while the main body is a variation with no changes whatsoever, as a bonus Sergei's exclusive beam rifle has been included. Getting extra weapons thrown in with no price increase — that's actually pretty appreciated. ^^

The Tieren itself is top-tier quality among HG kits, so there's not much more to add in this review.. But if the sad final scene of old man Sergei in the show comes to mind, this is a great kit well worth building. :-)
