Together with the Geirail Scharfrichter (left) built by applying MS Option Sets 8 & 9 to the standard HG Geirail.

This kit is the HG Geirail Scharfrichter & Landman Rodi Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard retail releases of the HG Geirail and HG Mandro, with parts from the MS Option Set 8 and MS Option Set 9added in, transforming the Geirail into the Geirail Scharfrichter and the Mandro into the Landman Rodi.

In the end, there are absolutely no newly sculpted parts — it really feels like four previously released standard kits bundled together with just the molded colors changed. The Geirail Scharfrichter has the same sculpt as what you'd get by combining the standard kits (see the review photos above), with the only difference being that it comes unified in a sand color scheme. As for the Landman Rodi, it's completely identical to the one included in the Tekkadan Complete Setreleased through Club G. On top of that, the Pickel and Land Mace for the Geirail Scharfrichter from MS Option Set 8 are included as additional weapons.

So yeah, there's really nothing new to look at here. The main appeal is that you get a more complete Geirail Scharfrichter than you'd have by piecing together the standard HG Geirail and MS Option Sets separately. And hey, not having to hunt down multiple kits is a plus in its own right. The kit quality itself is solid, so if the packaging appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
