Bought this kit months back because of the fact that it was PINK! Finally, we were able to have time to build it. So here is our little review of the HG 1/144 Tieren Taozi Gundam kit. This mobile suit was piloted by Soma Peries on the series Gundam 00. This kit really stands out on the 00 series because of it’s color. Sadly there is no 1/100 version of this. Fortunately, this 1/144 version was nicely done by Bandai. The articulation though not that dynamic is good for my taste. Also the color separations, plastic quality, polycaps and gimmicks makes the kit worthwhile. Definitely needs painting, but I believe the stickers will do well…

Still part of the torso – this will hold the shoulder and arm units

below is the teeny weeny mono eye

 

When I was building the head unit, I thought that it was just a part of the neck or the collar. Then I realized that it was already the head. LOL

 

Back pack attached

 

 

 

 

 

Beam Rifle

 

This is a really nice rifle… I am use this design on future scratch builds.

 

 

 

 

ARM and SHOULDER units

 

This part controls the shoulder armor

 

Exploded view of the arm

FEET

 

Calves

WAIST UNIT & FUEL TANK?

 

 

Oh yeah… I know what you are thinking *evilsmirk*

 

 

The hand needs to be separated to be able to hold the weapon. Very typical in HG kits.

 

 

Done! Now she stands!
