Together with the 1/3000 Brünhild.

1/3000 BrünhildFollowing the Brünhild, the battleship Hyperion from Legend of the Galactic Heroes has also been released in 1/3000 scale. Unlike the white, streamlined Brünhild, this one is a dark-colored, angular battleship. A serial item code for the mobile game "Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These" — which lets you unlock a memento in-game — is also included.

First off, this kit has that satisfying assembly feel unique to warship kits, and it's definitely a different experience from your typical Gunpla or girlplas. You build it like snapping together blocks, almost like LEGO, gradually constructing the ship piece by piece. The overall detail is noticeably more refined and three-dimensional than the Brünhild, which makes the build a lot more fun. The snap-fit is also well implemented, so you get a solid, stable hold without needing any glue.

That said, there are no articulated parts or optional parts whatsoever, so for this review you really just need to take a good look at the overall shape and detail. After all, the whole point of a kit like this is the presence it commands once it's finished. It's a space battleship model with a feel all its own, quite different from the Bandai Yamato series. If you're a fan of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, or just love this style of warship kit, this one looks like a lot of fun. :-)
