Bandai Hobby - Gundam UC - #100 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode), Bandai Spirits HGUC 1/144 Model Kit

I was surprised by the level of detail in this High Grade 1/144 Unicorn Gundam! I did hope that it could transform, but this version does not. I have come across some 1/144 scale models online that they say transform from Unicorn to Destroy mode, but they are expensive, seem to be online exclusives hard to get outside of Japan. Well, understandably it's not a big deal to me. You do have to be careful with the V-fin as you take it off the tree. Too much pressure can easily snap it. I've made this mistake a few times. The pose-ablity is good! You get a little extra movement at the shoulders, 90 degree bend at the knees, decent movement on the head and arms. The shield can attach to the arm or the backpack. You get a little ammo pack that can attach to the skirt armor at the back. There are 4 beam saber handles, but no beam sabers. It seems that you have to buy the 1/144 High Grade Unicorn Gundam in its Unicorn mode in order to get the beam sabers, but if you have more gundams, you can easily use one from them. The pyscho-frame is clear red color, and it really looks nice. There are a few bad nub marks to watch out for, so be ready to cut, file, sand them down, etc to get rid of them. There are a few stickers which I really like! I am not a fan of stickers. The stickers go on the eyes, 2 white shoulder parts, the gun scope, and the light on the head. You will have to paint the ammo pack if you want the colors to match the anime. Other than that there is really not much need to paint or panel line this kit, which is an added bonus for me! I don't like to paint either. I also bought the 1/144 Banshee Destroy mode High Grade, and 1/144 Banshee Norn High Grade kits. They both are the same height, and they both are a little taller than the Unicorn Gundam Destroy mode. This is a very nice kit to add to your 1/144 scale Gundam collection!

While not a perfect kit in terms of the amount of accessories you receive, this kit is perfect for a beginner to Gunpla. From opening the box to starting to pose the final product, this kit took me a little under 6 hours to complete. The end result is incredibly satisfying.The amount of pieces gives the result a great level of visual intricacy, which works in tandem with the white and translucent red color scheme. The amount of sticker decals used is minimal and even if they dont look perfect close up, don't look too bad at a distance. The Unicorn stands at around 6 inches tall and while not very articulate, looks amazing in darn near every pose you put it in. A wonderful addition to my High Grade collection

This is a great gunpla to build Easy assembly It's very durable True to size Every thing was in the box when delivered, nothing missing It's better than other mech models and will be buying another soon.

The Unicorn Gundam is a very striking mobile suit, the large v-fin and red psychoframe give it a kinda whimsical feel while the mix of blocky and angular design of the armor gives it that real world military machine feel. Bandai went all out in achieving the full look of the psychoframe here and that makes the build process very unique, the clear red pieces can be annoying to deal with at times due to it being hard to see where the pegs and slots are on them so they'll some trail and error involved in getting them snapped in just right, the little grey vents you'll add across the whole model are impressive to see on a HG usually they'd be be molded onto the piece requiring panting while this kit has nearly perfect animation accurately in it's color separation, the only parts that don't and well require paint are the head vulcans and the sensor on the back of the head (you're given a sticker for the front camera but not the back a odd omission), this brings me to a the strangest little decision Bandai made, the chest vulcans use a white sticker rather than have it sandwiched between two white pieces while they aren't that hard to apply they're a blemish considering the effort the designers went to get to in getting the mix of the red psychoframe and white armor without resorting to stickers. The second bizzare decision is the omission of accessories, you get four beam saber hilts and no effect parts, you'd think for the 200th kit they could at least include some. Overall this a great looking Gundam that will look striking and unique in your collection if the lack of accessories bothers you consider the full armor version.

This thing was a blast to build! I loved every second of it! There is one minor problem that A ton of people have though. the pegs that hold the beam saber hilts on the backpack are really thin and can break within a moment's notice. I bought The banshee and it too had this problem. Just be careful when you're taking off that part off the sprew. If it does break hey it's not really a big deal. a little glue on the beam saber hilt goes a long way. I used modelling cement on mine. It worked like a beaut. Hope you guys have fun with this kit as much as i did!

One of my favorite Hg builds thus far,it being my eighth Hg. Everything about this model was perfect-poseability(taking into consideration the expected limitations of not being Burning Gundam haha),overall completed look once assembled was beautiful,if you're picky there are some panel lines that need detailed but honestly you're not losing much if you decide to leave it as is out of box, it's still nice. Is taller than all seven of my other Hgs when side by side,a also took a little longer to build but not by much. A total of FIVE stickers! So you won't have much to stress over there either. As for the seller I purchased from,(HOBBYONE) they have all my interest in future purchases of gundam models-ordered on June 25 and received on July 5th which was 20 days before the earliest expected arrival *from Japan*. Absolutely recommend this model,its good whether you're a beginner or seasoned builder of gundams.

The mot fun I've had with a build. I have several other models and compared to them, this was my hardest one. It was also my longest build as you have to do so much extra because of the psycho frame, but it was well worth it in the end. It's Slightly taller than my other models because of the unicorn's actual height, adding on that it is naturally taller in gundam mode. It is also one of my most stable models. I think the only model I have that is more stable may be the zaku sniper, but that is because of its' wide feet. Really fun build for sure!

Its a pretty solid kit. Holds poses well and has average HG articulation. The build was not the most enjoyable experience in my short time building gundams as there are lots of small parts that are hard to clean up and make pretty if your not a very experienced builder. Dont recommend to people new to the hobby

ガンダムシリーズについての知識は殆ど無くこれまでガンプラを購入した事がありませんでしたが、ユニコーンガンダムの見た目が好きでサイコフレームと一部のパーツをバンシィと取り替えた物を作りたかったので、安価で手頃なサイズかつ組み立てが簡単そうなHGのユニコーンをバンシィと共に購入しました。 箱を開けてみてまず、パーツ数が想像していたよりも少なく思ったより組み立てが簡単だった事に驚きました。確かに説明書で分かりにくい部分はありましたが、そこまで難しい事は要求されておらず、組み立ては１日とかからずに終わりました。 そして、組み上がった物を見てそのクオリティの高さに驚かされました。塗装無し・素組みでもそのディテールは十分高く、このクオリティで２体で3000円もしないという事に驚愕しました。 可動面に関しては装甲の干渉等で制限がありますが、工夫をすればそれらしいポーズを取らせる事ができ割とガシガシ動かせるので、いじっていて楽しいです(ただしあまり動かしすぎるとジョイントが弛くなってしまいそうなので、程々にした方が良さそうです)。 以上から評価を★5とさせて頂きました。

Buena figura fácil montaje ya son varias figuras que llevo compradas

Mi primer Gundam, ahora si, vamos a ver que onda con todo este mundo

Não recomendo se esse for o seu primeiro kit. O modelo é todo molenga, articulações dos cotovelos soltam toda hora. A V-fin cai só de olhar pra ela.

Le montage a été sans problèmes, tout s'est assemblé facilement, les autocollants collent bien, et le résultat final est sensationnel. La figurine est assez grande pour sa gamme, le rouge transparent rend magnifiquement sous la lumière, ça a vraiment du style! Attention à certaines articulations (épaule,coude) délicates à faire bouger quand même. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'épées en plus du simple fusil. Sinon, point sympa, il n'y a quasiment rien à peindre si on veut le même rendu qu'en photo.
