This kit is the HG Alteisen Nacht from Super Robot Wars, released as a Bandai Hobby Online Shop exclusive. Starting from the previously released standard HG Alteisen, the molded colors have been changed and the Nacht's signature Shishio Blade has been added to the lineup. The added parts and stickers do bump the price up by ¥300.

Since the main body is canonically identical to the original Alteisen, it still delivers that clean parts separation, smooth assembly feel, solid articulation and joint strength you'd expect from a Bandai HG kit — and it pulls it off well. For this review, you really just need to pay attention to the changed molded colors and the Shishio Blade. The Shishio Blade, being the only new part, is reproduced well enough with decent parts separation and stickers, and it does open up some posing options that set it apart from the standard Alteisen.

It's a simple color variant, sure, but there's real value in the fact that the blue Alteisen Nacht got the HG treatment at all — and for Super Robot Wars fans, even an online exclusive release is something to be happy about. :-)
