With all the variations between the Unicorn, Banshee, and Phenex, sometimes I wish Bandai would give you the option to buy the weapons and Psycho-Frames independent of the kit.
full armor unicorn without much additional armor but sure have loads of weapons. it have weapons, the shields have weapons. even the weapons have weapons..
RG unicorn is an impressive kit on its own but that looks fantastical. So many accessories. Enough to share one with each current RG kit. Price is high but justifiable
I got this kit last week. As well as the normal RG Unicorn. This kit..... it scares me. It has taken over my life with how much I play around with its arsenal, making infinite weapon combinations with its limitless potential. I need help.
@@Akiwaaa_ I did get it. It’s held up pretty well, it surprisingly doesn’t really get ERS. I say get because my other rg unicorn has become a floppy mess from me posing it too much. Also, be extra careful with the shoulders, they break really easy with the added weight of the Gatling shields
@@gundamenjoyer217 Ahhh, that’s kinda sucks the ERS still there even tho it’s not much. Really interested to the Unicorn since that’s a cool gundam, like it looks “basic”(?) But there’s just like something interesting on the design But well, after the last RG that I build which is Force Impulse, I probably won’t and don’t wanna go back to experience the ERS over again. Since yeaa, I got some RG that doesn’t holds up pretty well. Seems like I am just gonna skip it and go with the Hi Nu.
I'm in the exact same boat. I've just started building again and got hooked on real grades. Crossbone had me wanting to go back to 1/100 scale. Those pieces were insane tiny
personally i wish canonically they used the unicorn perfectibility but the full armor unicorn is super cool. seriously i really wish i had that rg, the real grade unicorns are the best versions of all of them
For the folks that make it to the end of your videos, you could through a blooper in for your outro occasionally. (Jump from swing, botch landing. Come down slide, yell as you take out the camera stand upon exiting). Don’t hurt yourself but have fun with it. Something funny. Great job as always!
That piece on the backpack, the one that lowers the shield, isn’t for just lowering them. It’s actually for use with the Armed Armor DE, and the reason it mounts lower is because of how big the shield is. I think that also implies a P-Bandai or manga-related RG 1/144 Armed Armor DE (Awakened Ver.) for the Unicorn (if so, I hope it’s a three pack)
Hey bandai, I'm still waiting for the normal version of the RG Banshee or at least give me an expansion pack that include armed armor BS/VN AND Marida Cruz pilot figure, thank you.
I only hope it's eventually followed by other Unicorn kits in RG. I like to build groupings from each series but don't want to build the MG Unicorns due to nightmare stories and hate stickers for the Sinanju. Shame, that....love MG kits.
I hear some others complain about weight issue and balance, but like....it's a space type suit. Just use the stand lol. Awesome looking kit, waiting for mine to arrive!
BlueFacondor I bought one from Taiwan’s Base 6 weeks ago, and let me tell you - this is a much better choice as compared to the Ka version Its balance on a display stand is great. One downside is that the forearm bit, with the javelin equipped, is slightly loose, but it’s very minor Highly recommend this for Unicorn lovers😍
I was lucky enough that Taiwan’s Base had brought in stock super early during my trip there 6 weeks ago😍 This RG version is SO MUCH BETTER than the Ka version overall, even the after-build maintenance. I highly recommend this kit to all Unicorn lovers😍 10/10
The RG unicorn Bande desinee ver is my first RG and i almost hated it. I should have moved the joints slowly and sand down the pegs on the hip, but even with all the bad experiences i have with my unicorn i'm still happy with it. I made a new shoulder for it and fixed the hip with some super glue and virgin oil. I'm definitely going to pick this up and i need another 1/144 scale Banagher, mine is broken
no, the beam sabers only fit in to the arm the way that he had them, its partially because the arm piece doesnt close again when they are faceing the other way and partially so that you can use the beam tonfa when the kit is in destroy mode.
@@rodneyrinehart7513 That's actually the Unicorn Perfectibility, thankfully (Even though I really want that, too). We still have yet to see any word on an RG Phenex, but all they need to mold now is the v-fin for it.
@@Studio_OZKai watch. That announcement was made about 2 months before the movie released. You might be right, but I'm pretty sure they are releasing Phenex exactly the same as they did Perfectability.
My first kit was a high grade Kshatriya and I only really wanted to keep a small collection with a Bael and Exia, but now I want this... WHEN WILL IT END?!
Can the beam gatlings be attached to the RG Sinanju's shield (or the RG Sazabi?) the way the MG ones can? Also is the javelin the same that came with the magazine a few years back?
If you get another handheld beam rifle and Joplin could you stack the javelin in the weapon stack in the other arm and can the other left and also hold the extra beam rifle if you were to get one like have the absolute most armored up each arm
My main gripe with this kit is the ecaps for the beam magnum should be blue. It wouldn't have been that hard to have that part on one of the blue runners.
@@ZakuAurelius I know it would be easy to paint myself and I always want to paint my kits. I just never do it and then there is the winter where it's just too cold to paint anything in my home.
Hey complete Gunpla newcomer here. I was looking at my first model to buy and came across this one. I found a Master Grade version of it too. Can anyone tell me what the differences between the MG and RG version are?
I’m not sure how much I talked about it in the review, but the biggest difference, aside from the size, is the stability. This kit is much more stable and easy to pose. The MG is essentially a brick
@@ZakuAurelius cool thanks for the response. I think I´ll go with the RG then. Really pumped to get back into model building and painting. All these Gunpla look so sick and like much more of an actual long time project than the Warhammer models I used to build.
Which is a better kit to buy: the RG z'gok or the RG gundam mark 2? I can only buy one and I want to know which one is the most fun to build and pose and the overall solidity.
i know the Mk-II is great, and haven't built the Z'Gok but I've heard its good. I think you can't go wrong with either. get one now and the other later!
Beautiful kit. Horrible experience to build and extremely fragile. And yes, I have this and the Banshe Norn. Beware with those arms, back leg trusters and the antenas/horn
Hi there Saku, I’m glad you decided to do this review, I enjoyed it and it was insightful. I know it can be repetitive but still good to hear your take on the the “full armor”, btw off topic, that decal website’s name is? (: thanks bro ‘till next time, keep on swinging or sliding! Later bro!😎👍🏼
such a mess... gundam mecha designers have basically gone insane. If this actually had to move it would be clumsy as hell. lol All space mechs end up being visually busy mess of thrusters and flaps and chunky bits on thier backs lol
I wish there was a red version of the full armor RG Unicorn - the green frame looks nowhere near as cool, plus it reminds me of how dumb the ending of the series was.
With all the variations between the Unicorn, Banshee, and Phenex, sometimes I wish Bandai would give you the option to buy the weapons and Psycho-Frames independent of the kit.
Ramiro de Souza Bandai did that with the PG Banshee, which was cool
or atleast a clear ver
Ramiro de Souza and then you have to remove the psycho frame parts with the risk breaking the pieces
Ramiro de Souza but then how would they milk money from us?

ZakuAurelius RG Full armor Unicorn vid pop up
Me: oh...
me too ! turned out I slept over the vid, and now rewatch it
there is no way the MG could do somthing like that, It is awesome
I got on the Rg Unicorn bandwagon way late but I built up a Banshee recently and man what a great kit. May have to get this soon
bro same
I'm in the exact same boat. I've just started building again and got hooked on real grades. Crossbone had me wanting to go back to 1/100 scale. Those pieces were insane tiny
I'm building this one right now and my god is it a beast of a real grade!

Awesome! Now we can recreate the Unicorn in its configuration from the battle of Palau or the Aassault on Torrington Base!
The only RG I've built yet that required some Gunpla-yoga for fear of breaking parts 😅

Great review, definetlly gonna buy this kit
Hey bandai, I'm still waiting for the normal version of the RG Banshee or at least give me an expansion pack that include armed armor BS/VN AND Marida Cruz pilot figure, thank you.
It's true now!! It's true!!!!
I only hope it's
eventually followed by other Unicorn kits in RG. I like to build groupings from each series but don't want to build the MG Unicorns due to nightmare stories and hate stickers for the Sinanju. Shame, that....love MG kits.

1 question, please. Can we put the shield on the back without having the gatling gun attached? Thank you.
God dang I need it now as well as the sazabi

This RG version is SO MUCH BETTER than the Ka version overall, even the after-build maintenance. I highly recommend this kit to all Unicorn lovers😍 10/10
Dexter's Gaming Channel hell even the hg full armor is better then the ver.ka
Excited to see what it looks hooked up to banshee and eventually phenix

I can't stop seeing that beam javelin as a toothbrush with red bristles...
that extension piece for the backpack rack is probably an option to mount em on Banshee Norn since that guy has bigger pack
Clos, but it's actually to display the three gatling shields without the rest of the FA assortments, ala final battle of Episode 7.
maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have the red psycho-frame over green. makes the full armour version look "angrier", if tt makes sense.
Considering it also was only in the Full Armor configuration with the red frame, you're not wrong.
Emcron I agree green should be default unicorn destroy mode.
Red is hardcore mode
Nah. The green is minty fresh.
If I had the space I would get the FA Unicorn and then several regular unicorns and have each one be armed with one of the weapons.
I think you had the beam saber holders reversed. The hollow spaces should probably face forward so they're not visible as much.
no, the beam sabers only fit in to the arm the way that he had them, its partially because the arm piece doesnt close again when they are faceing the other way and partially so that you can use the beam tonfa when the kit is in destroy mode.
@@henrymiller7162 I meant the ones on the backpack
@@backstept oh yeah, I think the instruction booklet said to put them that way buy I'm not sure.
I'd love to have that green on the PG kit but just didn't wanna pay so much for final battle 😭
Hi Zaku, I don't think u have the time to answer, but does the psycho frame color green also glow when exposed to a blue light?
Completely unarmed in regular mode it already looks so awsome
Imagine getting two of these and combing them to make a double full armor unicorn...
And now we wait for RG Phenex and the Banshee’s other two Armed Armor parts for the RG……
I the heard the Phenex is only going to be a Gundam Base exclusive combo'd with the Narrative Blu Ray. :(
The and the. Yeah, can tell I wrote that before finishing my coffee. Lol

I can’t find the piece to connect the shield to the arm without the Gattling gun help me please
Can somebody tell me what part the shield connector is without using the gattling gun please
Overkill never looide this good
Are you using the Action Base 5 to display the model in your video? I just ordered one, but I don't think it includes a stand.
Lol, I'm probably going to buy it just for the green psychoframe and javelin
The perfect grade actually has nice articulation, it is just a little heavier than the tiny one.
yeah too heavy to hold most poses. that's the problem with most PG kits
Such an awesome kit
My first kit was a high grade Kshatriya and I only really wanted to keep a small collection with a Bael and Exia, but now I want this... WHEN WILL IT END?!
It never ends with Gunpla!
so should i get the rg or mg FA unicorn? I want to pick up MG sazabi ver Ka and Sinanju RG or MG.
2 years late but u should pick up the FA unicorn :D
It could've used some stands for the Shield Funnels
Too bad they don't come with those shield stands that the HG does
KiteIkutsuki Hey I thought about that as well! I also want to display the 3 shield funnels being controlled remotely
Yeah. I aslo thought a bout that.
maybe pbandai
KiteIkutsuki watch them make a green unicorn with just the shields and Gatling guns for that like the robot spirits figure
You know you can do that three shield funnel with tamashi nation stand because it has a claw to hold the shield (look builders tv)
Hi Zaku....May I know the dimension of this Gundam with its backpack after build?
are there any place that sell the rg unicorn Gatling gun only??
Can the beam gatlings be attached to the RG Sinanju's shield (or the RG Sazabi?) the way the MG ones can?
Also is the javelin the same that came with the magazine a few years back?
Not sure about the Gatling guns but the javelin is different from the HG version
Reads comment section
Drops Axis on it
Did this have the tri-shield defense gimmick?
If not, then most likely the RG Unicorn Final Battle Version will be next (along with the Banshee)
it doesn't
tons of different configurations you can do with this.
can i still complete the rg line up from 1 up 30?
I don't see why not, unlike most kits, RG kits always seem to be available online.
If you get another handheld beam rifle and Joplin could you stack the javelin in the weapon stack in the other arm and can the other left and also hold the extra beam rifle if you were to get one like have the absolute most armored up each arm
Be super careful my banshees left arm didn't make it😥
My main gripe with this kit is the ecaps for the beam magnum should be blue. It wouldn't have been that hard to have that part on one of the blue runners.
true. it's a small thing but considering RGs are made to look as good as possible without painting- they should have done that.
@@ZakuAurelius I know it would be easy to paint myself and I always want to paint my kits. I just never do it and then there is the winter where it's just too cold to paint anything in my home.
Don't need to use glue, you can use double sided tape.
can you explain that ?
I think he meant the fuel tank, since zaku explained if the kit leans to backward those will fall off
No shield connector?
My standard RG unicorn is jealous
Guys, either this or RG Sazabi... Which one is better?
RG sazabi is awesome, if you can afford the space
Why would we choose what you prefer?
I just wanted to know others opinion since I've never built any RG kit.
If anything... Sazabi is a bang for your buck.

Which is a better kit to buy: the RG z'gok or the RG gundam mark 2?

Mk II is known for being a super solid kit.

think you can't go wrong with either. get one now and the other later!
ZakuAurelius thanks Zack. I think I'll go with the mark 2.
Is it me or the bazooka Unicorn especially the tip didn't plug right in?
The magazine for the bazooka also didn't clip right
Can you use micro sol and set on sticker type decals?
Microsol won’t do anything to help stickers
Beautiful kit. Horrible experience to build and extremely fragile. And yes, I have this and the Banshe Norn. Beware with those arms, back leg trusters and the antenas/horn
Is this the best unicorn gundam that you have built, excellent review by the way
You can use the spear part of the beam javelin on the beam magnum to create a bayonet
that's right! I forgot that
Does the 3 shields combine like in the anime and hg?
Your gonna have to use maybe the HG ver stand or some other stand to make the illusion of the tri shield as far as I can tell.
Does the hyper beam javelin react to UV light too?
the pink effect parts do not
Hey bandai ! RG avalanche exia ? Any time now

@@riceboycruz1300 I'm just not a fan of the version of the Unicorn
@ZakuAurelius - ah I see. Thanks. Well, looking forward to ur future Gunpla reviews
Regular rg unicorn or full armor
Is this kit worth it though if you already have a gundam unicorn?
Arnold Schwarzenegger favorite mobile suit.
no doubt
Does the head still fall off easily?
no
Did this actually happen in the anime? It looks like overkill. oh and yeah... 100th!
Yep in the final episode
Mine broke on the hand bc the instructions was not helping me🤣
Dollar Hanjabam same here
Fuck the manual book
neat!
It bugs me how is called a beam "javelin" if it is a beam "halberd"
It's a reference to the original Beam Javelin that was used by the RX-78-2.
Want
i use HG full armor unicorn weapon on my RG unicorn, rather than buy this kit...lol
Wtf its already built? 😂
built it on twitch the other night!
Any chance you could move your sponsorship shoutout to the very beginning of future reviews rather than a minute or two into describing the kit?
Or at the end. Make it a feature. And the sponsor for the weak is!!!...
Jk, I'm fine with the current format.
first
such a mess... gundam mecha designers have basically gone insane. If this actually had to move it would be clumsy as hell. lol All space mechs end up being visually busy mess of thrusters and flaps and chunky bits on thier backs lol
I wish there was a red version of the full armor RG Unicorn - the green frame looks nowhere near as cool, plus it reminds me of how dumb the ending of the series was.
Wow, I got the MG version and it's just a brick 🧱. Had I watched this video I would rather get this RG and not the MG.
