Bandai - BAN

$61.00

Starting from this release, most of the recent released MG Unicorn Gundam variants will be using the improved knee and waist joints.

The head can rotate/pivot on an upside-down Ball-and-socket/C-clip joint neck.
Shoulder joints can slightly swing frontward.
The arms can...
- Swing on a peg-and-socket joint,
- Raise horizontally.
The upper elbows can turn.
Elbow joints can be bent up to 130 degrees.
The manipulators...
- Can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Feature 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
The waist can rotate, though it can be hindered by a few skirt armor panels.
Front, side, and rear skirt armors are poseable via ball-and-socket joints, to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
The upper thigh joints can swing frontwards/backwards, raise horizontally and/or rotate on each piece.
Knee joints can be bent up to 80 degrees.
The ankle joints can tilt/pivot on a limited manner.

Unicorn Gundam can convert into Unicorn or Destroy mode.
- The antenna can be swapped with either transforming or non-transforming pieces.
Any of the weapons can be wielded by the poseable hands.
The arms' Beam Saber panels can flip out to form Beam Tonfas.
The Beam Sabers on the backpack can be optionally removed as handheld weapons.
The Beam Magnum's E-Pacs can be swapped.
- The Beam Magnum's barrel can be slightly pulled forward, and one of the upper E-pacs can be removed to recreate its reloading feature.
The Hyper Bazooka can be converted between standby and firing modes.
- Its ammo pack can be optionally separated from the weapon.
The shield can...
- Only mount onto the left forearm via an adapter.
  - The shield's adapter is multi-jointed, allowing for some poses while mounted onto the forearm.
- Convert into Destroy Mode.
- Mount onto the backpack for storage.
Beam Magnum and Hyper Bazooka can mount onto the backpack via flip-out tabs.
- Each of their respective ammo packs can also be mounted onto the rear waist armor.
Unicorn Gundam can mount onto Action Bases 1 or 4 with an adapter.

For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied & panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent and the softer parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated. (If one hasn't top-coated the kit yet, converting it into Unicorn Mode may finish the job)
Care must be taken while transforming the antenna parts (C18 and C19); slightly excessive force and/or mishandling can potentially break the parts.
The Armed Armor DE add-on included with Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Bande Dessinee Vol. 8 can be used for this kit.
The Beam Gatling Gun［x2］ set add-on included from the 4th Volume of Gundam Unicorn can be used for this kit.
