I just bought a RG unicorn.The arm articulation was so f***ing stiff and it seemed to break,so I searched how to fix it and I found your video.Thank you so much! Your video is very useful.
Love to help another fan of the hobby. Enjoy buildibg other Unicorns series.
Same I just wish I found the video before I put mine together the (L)shape part that connected the torsos and the shoulder joints on my kit has stress marks on it because I went to put the RG unicorn in a pose that had the arm aiming up at the roof and when I rotated it the arm fell out or the socket
@@WHITEKNIGHT-2098The exact same thing happened to me. Were you able to fix it?
@@Cydragoesbrrrr I used loctite fun-tak to hold the arm in pace for the time being it will hold but if u constantly changing poses it won’t work its better than trying to super glue it plus I don’t have to buy another kit just to fix the one pice
@@WHITEKNIGHT-2098Thank you dude. I was able to easily repair the piece with glue. Thanks for responding to a comment that responds to one from a year ago lol
If you survive the B8 and B9 joints watch out for the G35's pieces, those parts break easily if you don't loosen the moving shoulder part of the joints enough which would mean you won't be able to transform to destroy mode or even articulate the whole arm. Just make sure the arms are loosened to a certain point or it will be too loose to hold the weapons.
I didn't survive mine XD
@@alexguigui8231 damn bro it's alright a lot of people were also aware but still broke it LOL
@@benyes3607 meh, nothing a little tamyia won't fix ^^
That's the exact problem I have
The way this guy respond to the comments are so wholesome
Keep up the great work!
Appreciated the positive comment.
Thank you sir. Even today this video has saved me from breaking that B8 B9. For any Indonesian builder, a cheap Telon oil does the trick as well.
*sigh* this is the only video that's keeping me a float cause the other videos i think people don't like it at all. 😢 i hope the new video i'm preparing for the channel would be acceptable to everyone.
Thank you bro. The baby oil definitely helps alot. The arm articulation on my unicorn are a whole lot better
Ur Welcome Pal. Glad i could help you.
thanks to you i manage to unlocked the joints, it was a hard battle but eventually it worked
Glad i could help another Hobbyst of Gunplas in enjoying a new kit for his collection.
Just picked up an rg unicorn. Glad I saw this vid first.
Glad , that this video is the only video getting attention at least is the best effort i can do , for the moment i'm giving my all on this channel but if people doesn't appreciated then i think i may be turning down this channel and this info would be lost. so right now your words are helping me keep together.
i just bought my first rg series and its banshee. I try ur vids, i thought i broke mine but its really need my muscles thumb to rotate it after drip them on baby oil, thanks man it works🙏
Ur welcome pal.
Glad to see i'm not the only one having this issue.
Broke first arm before mounting it, and second after twisting it a bit
And of course, nobody sell the runner anymore (no answer from bandai, and sellzr can't help me)
Had to buy one from ebay for 20€...
Yeah sadly many people do that instead of buying a new part, but hey look at the bright side you have a broken gundam that you can use in a future diorama.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea well, would have been better if it wasn't the expensive one that broke x)
Now waiting for the spare part to arrive, and for my flugel tallgeese to arrive :v
@@sevdu31840 nice, best of luck and always share with your friend before they make the same mistakes.
Hey, i'm slowly building rg fa unicorn myself, currently still on the waist segment. Just wondering, will the arm still able to holds all the weaponry after lubricated by the oil?
@Fauzan Arya , for a short answer is a Yes , this way of loosing up the joints on those parts would not actually affect the kit itself instead it will give you a safe relief that you will not end with a bad taste in your mouth so don't fear cause all my kits are still able to pose with their respective guns and even heavy ones.
Depends on the left arm
When I got my RG Unicorn the arms were so stiff I broke one and lost all interest in finishing the gundam, I don’t even know how to turn the arm that remains now.
Well if you gave up on the old one try by following my solution mentioned on the video and try twisting the parts. With the help of some pliers apply a little of the oil and then give it a twist. Need to be both sides.
Just got my rg unicorn recently and stopped at the arms because I knew about this issue. I'm on the fence either using the baby oil you recommended, or silicon oil like in a speed build video that I saw on another video. I'm just fearful about the joints becoming too loose to prevent holding weapons. Any thoughts?
Yes my friend if you want you can apply over the area you want to make it less stressed and then twist them around after you see that the part has become less stressfull , then you can wipe the excess away with a paper towel.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea Thanks for the reply. How has your unicorn been holding up post baby oil joints? Is it still articulate and stiff with no plastic degradation so that it can hold it's weapons?
@@spyroclone152 well let me tell you the first unicorn i build it was a COMPLETE FAIL cause i didn't know about the stiffness of the joints but after learning it and finding an easy and accesible way possible for people to loosen them up in a cheap way was the "Baby Oil" and , let me tell you i still have two kits, the RG FA and BANSHEE also, right now i have the RG Perfectibility but don't want to build it yet and they still are posable and can keep hold on their weapons too. So don't worry about it the issue would be if you leave the oil for 1 to 2 days. That will make it so loose that would transform into an helicopter. Hahaha. About corrotion no as the silicon oil has properties to not eat the plastic and if you want to wipe the excess away use alcohol.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea Alrighty then, got some Johnson Baby oil and will try it out a drop at a time on my unicorn. Hope it works out. Maybe this will help me with a Sazabi part I messed up last time. When cleaning it out, do you just use paper towels or is there other means of cleaning out the oil?
@@spyroclone152 for the baby oil i used paper towel for the silicon oil is better use a cleaning agent that doesn't eat plastic so Alcohol is the best option.
thank you bro i am finally could make the rg gundam banshee norn perfectly without broken part,thank you very much sir🫡
Ur welcome my friend
Bro! I brought RG banshee yesterday, and the first thing I did was cut out those parts and followed your video. At first I was like...Holy shit, is this thing supposed to be moved? cuz IT was really stiff, like f***ing stiff. My hands really hurt but it worth the effort, Banshee norn is so cool, Thank you so much
Always welcome to help another person with his problems. Thank you for the positive comment.
I only learned about the issue after i built my unicorn. Maybe i got lucky that nothing broke on that gundam when i forced the arms to rotate.
I'll be doing this when my other rg unicorn orders arrive.
Glad to hear it pal and thanka for the positive comment.
Didn’t have any baby oil so I used olive oil it worked fine 👍🏽 thanks for the info
Ur Welcome.
Is the olive oil still working very well for it?
THANKS , AND THANKS SO MUCHO FOR ALL YOUR VIEWS I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT THIS VIDEOS HIT THE MOST VIEWS BY HELPING 10K PEOPLE HOLY MOLLY, THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND ALSO WE HIT 100+ SUBSCRIBERS TO THE CHANNEL LET'S GET THAT GOAL OF 500+
This was actually so helpfull i could not move the arm a singular milimeter but this was so helpfull thank you very much
Well glad i could help.
This is so helpful I am searching the web for any possible issues with the kit because I just got one and it will be mycfirst unicorn gundam I am new to gunpla so this was very helpful
Damn , glad that i'm helpfull to people you're welcome and enjoy the Gunpla Fever.
I just used the fix and so far it's working but I'm using olive oil instead and it seems to work but it is slow
@@averageaviator763 glad that i could help you with your issue buddy.
That was really helpful 🙏🏻 how did you made the custom box btw?
Well it's not made by me but by a company that ended in a bad spot, so they sold out their remaining ones and that's how i got one of the boxes. But you can actually store your gunplas in a plastic bag and the box by making the required measures.
do u know how to fix a actual broken arm so it still posable
The only thing I can think of is a dowel of some kind inserted between the broken parts, like a hot needle or something... kinda peeved my Gundam Base Ltd. Brok at the elbow
You could also use mineral oil I would assume.
Hey Yeo Here , Reminding to everyone that is watching this video to never forget to leave your support to this channel by giving thumbs up , subscribing and sharing this cheap trick for fixing your kits. A good tip that i can give is before building your kit try to look a review or even searching at posts from other builders about the cons and pros. Thanks and lets make a community full of enjoyment and happiness.
For mine the issue was the shoulder joint
I broke the elbow joint... I live in America so I can't replace it... I can't figure out how to repair it since it's such a high stress area
Well you can always find a community on reddit that live in any place in america and ask if they could sell you the broken part as a replacement.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I repaired it with a Dremel and some plastic to make a dowel out of the sprew
@@ChristochatBTW nice
I know it’s an old video. I’m hoping to get a response what kinds of oil can I use? Can I use veggie oil?
To answer the question, try searching in the comments, if i remember correctly one person tried to do that and he failed so i wouldn't recommend it. Bu for One try the Baby Oil From Jhonsons Baby
Okay thank you❤
I justvbroke the elbow on mine. I was moving the shoulder and the elbow came off. Can't super glue I don't think because it's such a small area. I hope they can send me a new runner. I'd be really disappointed if they don't because I'll have a one armed unicorn
Ouch!! That happened me before don't worry -SeaMagician_704 i hope the best of lucks to get your new frame (arm runner) to get that unicorn looking awesome and also if you want you can buy a new one and leave the other one as a diorama for a project that could be awesome too. Thanks for sharing your issue of the gunpla as everyone had happened before.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea it was a highly rated company on Amazon so hopefully I can get a new one. Last time I broke a part of my strike and I got a whole new kit. If i get that lucky I could have a diorama or something out of the left over parts in future
@@seamagician7042 glad to hear my friend , and also this fix doesn't involve only in the RG there are some MG that need some Lube or else same way they will snap during build try with some kits that you think are really tight when twisting them.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea also a quick question. Should the lowest grey piece on the arms frame rotate or not. That's where it broke off and if it shouldn't rotate, I might glue it for the time being, till I get a new one and just have the unicorn stand there. Also thanks for the replies
@@seamagician7042 well as i have both Banshe and Unicorn and give them a quick look back on them on my Banshee when you mention those part they're jam solid if you twisted from there RIP those part can't twist at all cause when you look at them they actually can twist but not because the Frame is actually Molded together so it seen as if they are separated articulations, but sadly they are not. Hope this comment of mine helped you a lot.
Both my right sholder and both elbows have shattered i will be following your instructions and pinning the broken parts with new pla plate joints.
I snapped the shoulder of my 00 raiser rg by just snapping it because the joint was extremely tight
@@Jameshunt2663 well that ended as a bad experience but hey , you now have knowledge the next time you build any kit that has a stiff joint. By using the method mentioned above.
Thanks bro, really awesome this problem make my first RG Unicorn the Red frame going so smooth build..Thanx for your tips bro
No problem bro thanks for looking the video man, and thanks for the subscription
@@HobbyandFuninKorea no problem bro, keep it up...anyways do you have the rg unicorn full build video?
@@BonBon-fx9gj of course man you can go to my channel and see the sections of video lists and you can check the entire full build of the RG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (its same build like the other unicorn series) , from cutting the runners to even cleaning the nub marks and some stress marks , to the last the would be the build and some poses of the kit. Also sorry for the many transitions.
Can't find it here is the link

@@HobbyandFuninKorea can u give me your whatsapp, any question easy for me to ask/dm you privately.....
@@BonBon-fx9gj sorry bro i dont have whatsapp , but you can follow me on instagram and i will follow you and you can PM there.
Hey my friend 😢 I broke the afterburner of one of the legs and then I saw that the arms also are easy breakable and then your video came sooooo handy. Btw I read that baby oil melt the plastic is that real ?
As i can tell during my research before uploading this video we must difference between the chemical manufacturing of some products therefore i can explain that one ( the one you mention ) and two ( my video ) baby oil products have different chemicals when manufactured the first one for example is made from petroleum directly applying this product will not only damage the part but all the other around the area applied in time it will melt all parts. Meanwhile the second one is based on a mineral oil based from the petroleum but more refined and less toxic so it will help by being used in all required jobs. Hope that this clarify everything. Thanks for the Question.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea duuuude you are the freaking best and your right, I checked the baby oil that I bought and it was made out of mineral oil, leave there for 30 mins and whaaala the arms move easy veeery and I can twist 90deg without issue.
My rg full armor unicorn is coming tomorrow but I'm gonna take my time on it, eventually when I'm at the elbows can i use soapy water with dish soap to leave it in there for a while and then try to move the joints slowly? And with cold, warm or hot water?
Glad that a new hobbyist is joining us. Never tried using it with soap but if you have an old kit try testing it and don't use hot water but instead warm also. Welcome to the Club
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I'd use warm water but I'm sorta new I guess, so I far I actually have 9 gunpla so today I'll be getting my 10th and I'm just trying to prepare for it
@@ShadowMonarch9557 Then The Unicorn Gundam it's going to be a good addition to your collection.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea thank you I'm definitely looking forward to it, I just hope I don't screw up with the elbow parts that's the worrying part rip
I shattered the right elbow on mine so I bought a replacement part. Once the replacement part arrived, I realized that the part G5 was missing and now I can't find a replacement anywhere 😢
Yeah many people on reddit recommended my video an all replacement stores have run out of the specific runners part. Because of me and well that now depends on BANDAI to continue creating the part. If not then you should try 3D Print that specific PART as well.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I'm only 17 and cannot afford a 3D printer sadly.I already checked BANDAI and they also don't have it.I found the part on eBay but it's out of stock...lucky lucky me lol
I was going to buy the rg unicorn but one I saw that the reviews saying the shoulder was stiff and had a chance of breaking i was going to leave it but I saw your video and it made me chance my mind
I mean you should buy not because of the sitfness on some parts , because the aestethics and good looking of the kit also the fix before the build is right here you can follow this to the end.
Thanks so much worked like a charm
Sorry by the late answer , you're welcome.
Can u made a vid how to fix broken horn of mg unicorn gundam
I would glady do it but, as stated before in one of my videos i'm not a big fan of many MG Kits also trying to resell them is quite hard. Because of the price and keeping them is another story.
for some reasons all of my unicorn gundams broke at B8 & B9 joints at the shoulder part even though i have already used olive oil on these parts many times and it still snapped, and i have no idea how to repair those joints
Sad to hear that but as i followed one comment from my past comments on this video i actually bought another kit and used the olive oil meanwhile i have my banshee with the baby oil applied and in fact after 1 year with the baby oil one and 3 months the olive oil the baby oil one still moves smoothly meanwhile the other one dried out and Boom Snapped. The only way to fix those parts is by buying a new part.
Gonna buy a full armor after breaking 2 previous kits, I saw on reddit that oil could potentially damage the plastic however i dont know how credible this information is. However I will say on both times i used baby oil the arms snapped at the twists very easily even when i was already done twisting it, and rhe elbows both shattered after trying to put the armor on, so I will be trying the new unicorn i bought without the baby oil and maybe that will make a difference
@@tekizera well i can relate that my kits ( Full Armor , Banshe Norn ) they still can move their arms and everything even after so long. And i used the baby oil so, maybe that kind of baby oil you must be using could have another chemical integrated and that could react with the plastic. Remember if you have the brand od Jhonsons Baby that would be better if it's another baby oil with a different brand then that could be the issue.
Okay thank you
A part for the chest cracked on me, it connects the arms to the chest, so I might use the slightest amount of super glue or wait for the metal replacement parts
Thanks for your tip.
Does the oil have any side effect with the part? Because rg unicorn joint parts is made of abs resin, almost all.
Not at all the oil itself is safe on use over any plastic part, because of the chemical properties you will not need to worry about melting or other issue.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea
Thank you, because other kit, like frame arms girl use abs resin and some of the joint is too tight and will break if use force on them, same with unicorn, need something too lose it a bit
@@andrii8100 glad that i could help you having issues with those ABS parts.
This is informative and all but what got my attention is your custom box (where you store the banshee)
May I know where'd you get it? That'll help me with organizing my kits.
Well if you live in Korea you can actually buy them for 20 Bucks each one of them the issue is that the place that sell them run out of the product the last time i saw it and can't argue in that the owner even sold the last batch of each one of them to a certain customer on other country. The name of this product PLABOOKS i'll leave you the link of the store for worldwide selling , if the owner ask how you find this place you can tell him that you see it in a youtube channel.

@@HobbyandFuninKorea thank you
my unicorn gundams joint just above the elbow bend snapped on both arms, they told me to do this in directions, help???
Well if you scroll down in the comments the only possible way to fix them is by Super Gluing them together but remember onces is glued no more free pose.
boo womp :(
ur real abt it tho thank
does warm water work with the rg banshee norns stiff arms if yes then what temperature should i use to not risk the plastic being damaged?
@@Hennerd. to tell you the truth i don't think anyone has tried that. So i can't possibly tell you if it works.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea very well then thats fine
Hello. I have the Banshee, his arm broke at the connection in the Torso, any tips on repairing that?
Well , first of all welcome and yes there is a way to fix it but you will not like it , because of the reason , you can either use Tamiya Cement and hold it together so the parts melt and combine or the other option use superglue. But all have more reason for that , either can be posable ( if you handle them carefully ) or not Posable anymore will be like a stiff ms that can't move that damaged part.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I tried Option A before but didn't work that well, I'm going to try Option B soon and thank you.
@@TheUltimizer. well you're welcome the issue is that as you quote before "the connection part broke" in that moment the only thing that i had in mind is telling you the truth or a lie and chose the truth. Hope that you understand me , either buddy if you live close to a country that sells the specific part online for example Ebay or Amazon or either other online buy shops then that would be another thing that you can try too. If you want to pose the banshee.
wish i saw this video before i broke my RG unicorn ;-;
Thx for your tips, just happened with my RG Banshee Norn Arms 😄
Ur Welcome , don't forget to enjoy the other videos as well.
bruh i swear banshee norn is soo delicate 💀 mine is on the arm and the back calf thruster flap
Hello! Just bought an RG unicorn perfectibility. Do you think that doing this will make the joints too loose for the perfectibility (since it has a lot of weapons) or will it still be tight enough?
If you do not apply too much then it should be fine mine is still holding up
@@HobbyandFuninKorea Thanks man! Great vid btw!
Wait is this common on unicorn this video so helpful thank you so much
Since the release of their 1st Unicorn the next models were having the same issues and instead of fixing the problem they just let it be fixed by the customers.
THANK YOU FOR THE 1K Views on this Video appreciated the help for all those viewers thank you so much.
HOLY SHIETT THANKS AGAIN WE ARE CLOSE FOR THE 4K OF VIEW DAMN GUYS.
THANKS GUY FOR THOSE 5K HOPE WE GET TO 10K VIEWS IN THIS VIDEO.
Thanks for helping everyone with this model kit!!
Thanks all for your feedbacks , i will start soon on other projects and some of them need to be taken away so i can start making those reviews also, we are close for the 100 subs on the channel , keep up with sharing the channel over many other places and , Thanks for the awesome views and comments it means a lot for me guys.
Is there any way to fix the shoulder joint? Mine just break recently...😢
As mentioned before in other comments the only way to fix it is by just buying a new part or even worst using a rod.
Olive oil also works but it takes a little while longer to soak in
True , it's a good to loosen up the part if you have it in your kitchen but don't forget to clean the part you soaked in.
when it tells me to twist it 90 degrees my frame won’t turn at all is this manufacturing error or is there a way to loosen it since it doesn’t look like it turns at all
Possibly two factors, when you assemble it you should have twist that part alone and if you cannot twist it then the second option comes out apply with a cotton bud some Baby Oil or Even Kitchen Oil but telling you baby oil will be a long shot for duration meanwhile kitchen oil is messy and sometime with the weather it can stiffen back that part.
Thanks! It worked
Ur welcome pal.
I'm placing an order online for that baby oil ASAP! The shoulder part is so stiff and there is already some stress. I hope it's not too late and all! Is there a good way to fix the plastic on the shoulder if it does snap? I really don't want to mess this up!
If you think the part is stiff and takes a lot of strengh to move then i should recommend apply some of the lubricant as well.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea it's a great kit with that bring a major flaw. There's no support for the shoulder connector so with the joint being that hard to move, it's bound to snap. I actually found some of that oil at thr store today! So I'll follow your guide and losen those joints. You use tweezers to twist the shoulder part to avoid damaging it at first right?
@@Zephyr_The_Robot well nope , i dont use tweezers , i just actually use a little of my own strengh to move the parts and make them loose, and answering the question that you mention about "flaws" this is not the only kit the entire RG Unicorn Banshee and other like Perfectibility have the same issue. So now you know.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yeah I'll have to make sure that when I get them I try this method! You let them soak in the baby oil for one minute right? Then wipe then off, dry them and twist them?
@@Zephyr_The_Robot Process:
1• Soak the Parts 1 min.
2• Twist the parts while they are still wet with the solution.
3• Wipe of Any excess away.
Should I do this to all the frame parts? Or just the arm
Apply the Arms and the twisting mechanism they have on their shoulder to make that move front and back and 360°, don't apply too much or else you will end up with a loosen arm and your kit will not be able to hold their weapons as they should be.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea thanks
How do I put the oil in that 90 degree turn arm joint?
In between the twisting locations. You can add the Oil and if you can't then try other solutions.
I need somewone to confirm this for me:
Is the Unicorn RG able to lift his arm all the way up like pointing to the sky or did i just break the L part that joint the arm and the chest for no reason?
I think that you forced it a little too much
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yeah, i thought so, i think i'm gonna have to disarm the hole thing and glue the piece back together.
Just for claring: i'm talking about the little L piece form by 3 little holes that alows the arm to move forward in horizontal like moving your elbow to the front
can you please make a video on how to fix the leg, the exact piece i’m talking about is runner B piece 3 i broke the part that your supposed to punch up to make the knee armor come up, please make a video or give me a solution, i used high quality super glue and it just snaps anyway😭
Sadly if that part broke already with even super glue, you must buy a replacement part for that amd if you cant then you need to buy a new kit, all those parts are hard to fix because the are the transformation mechanism for the kit.
So un resume, i have to leave the arm in the baby oil for one minute, then let them dry, after that try to move them until it works perfectly?
Yes and No, you could let it dry or even use a paper towel to clean the excess away.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea thanks for the info man
Guys since i need to get more subs to get that option enable of uploading any news related to the channel i need help so you can be up to the news , also i couldnt upload anything cause i have been taking my time on the COMBAT PATROL of the Blood Angels so hope you all understand and be patient.
Use cilicon oil
Do you have any techniques to make the waist of the HG lupus rex taller?
Sadly nope , you see i'm not a fan of that series so i don't own any of their tree tech (kits).
Which would you recommend more baby oil or silicon greese?
It depends on wich one it's the easiest to acquaire on your location.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea one more question, does this only apply to unicorn rg's or do you need to do it to all rg kits?
@@MayhemBR a good question deserves a good answer basically all the RG kit line need some fix there are some kits that need to be loosen up a little not too much.
I brought unicorn rg destroy mode,first time the joint of that arms got broken off,it snapped.....then I brought another one and now the circle part that attaches to the arm broke from holding a hyper bazooka in one hand......what is with the rg unicorn line having arms broken constantly
Well that's the issue of this line it has a lot of issues and you know those big companies they are not going to fix their products until they announce a new version so we will need to suffice with what we have.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I brought a replacement part off of eBay for the skeleton arm and hope for the best....I used Tamiya cement but I can't hold any weapons as it tends to lower it's arms holding the weapons so I might as well replace it
@@undying1177 that's the best thing about getting a replacement and if that part is broken as well then you must do it as well.
Hey can you summarise how you actually put the baby oil on it’s not clear to me in RBI’s video? Thanks
Sure , so basically you just submerge the parts on the container (baby oil) and then wait for 2 to 3 min and after that just take them out and wipe off any excess , you can use alcohol to clean if afterwards , dont forget to twist the parts.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea many thanks man this is really helpful. I thought my arms were broken until I saw this video
@@tombrand236 ur welcome bro
Can I use this method for its legs as they are too stiff to be broken as well?
You can use this technique with any kit that has stiff parts , the cheat behind of this is the oil will only loose the part when you try to some action poses , but even when holding a gun the weight will not affect the loosen part.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea many thanks, bro
@@honghuynh9322 ur welcome bro
So what do you recommend after you twisted it too much and snapped it haha “asking for a friend”
Well Sadly the only thing you can do is pin them with some hobby rods (they are metallic parts and you can find it in your closes hobby store tools) or next buy a replacement in any of the communities on reddit close to ya.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea cheers my guy !.
@@HobbyandFuninKoreacan you make a video showcasing how to do this?
@@tanvrhello1 well buddy there is no chemistry or physics involved the way to do it is just use super glue on the affected areas and just wait and done. Or as the other solution try asking in a reddit community close to you if they can send you the part that snapped.
i have a problem since i fixed my arm problem the new problem is the G23 piece cracked on me, while rebuilding the Unicorn, for the right thigh
Well if it's a small crack then you can fix it with tamiya thin cement but if the crack is bigger and you think it could actually break at some point then i would recommend you to find a new piece for that specific part, you can try your luck in many reddit community close by they could have a spare for you.
Is there a way to take apart the unicorn frames arms
No, if you do that you will end up with both parts breaking so basically the entire thing is fixated and if you try to take it apart is over.
Can I get other baby oil products????
Depends on your country, the same chemicals used on the product itself can be found in other oil products as well.
can i buy the runner b in ebay?
You can , but it will take you some time to find a vendor willing to provide the specific runner for you. But you can try always with a 2nd opinion if you see down below you'll find another good way to fix them. Using a 2mm copper rod.
Does any kind of oil work or does it have to be baby oil??
It needs to be Baby Oil, because for easy cleaning also if you use another kind of oil you need to read the appliances or utility over some specific materials. If you are not catious then you might end up with a Pudding instead of a plastic model.
@@HobbyandFuninKoreadoes olive oil work??
@@Joe_Nuts1 it would work but at the same time i don't know if the properties of the Oil would be dangerous for the kit because of the friction. You could give it a try, dip a cotton bud on the Oil and apply it over the area and if there is too much use Alcohol dip on a tissue and wipe the area you want to clean.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I used olive oil and it worked well

Can olive oil be used instead of baby oil?
Hmmm, as a nature oil thats commonly used in most ways to cook and for skin care , is possible to use it cause of it's manufacturing ingredients also it's safe to use as alternative if you don't have or can't buy the baby oil, just one thing to remember clean them after you apply enough of the substance on the parts.
do you think cuticle oil could work?
I should recommend you, that you try it on some plastic or runners and leave it there and wait like 5 min and after that see the result and if everything is ok then you can use it otherwise then it's a no.
Is that type of oil really safe for that type of plastic?
Baby Oil is a safe product that can be used over plastic product and also i a good lotion for your Hands xDD.
How long has it been when you did this method to your RG Banshee? Did anything bad happened to the joints?
@@arvinlalicanjr.8220 well to tell you the truth when building the Banshee i was focused on finding a easy method , to the kit cause i didn't wanted to make the same mistakes on the Unicorn and thats when i searched and tested it with the local oil items i had , first i used a oil that was used over face and that didn't work ( The arms didn't break and all was normal cause literally i just tried to twist the arms slowly to make them lose friction over the areas that were having problems ) and then i found that Baby Oil was the most cheapest and friendly environment and with it the Kit Friction was good enough to maintain any weight from other kits.
I'm going to upload a new Build of the RG Banshee with sime extra parts to make it look like the full armor Unicorn.
PD: Like 6 months ago.
Thanks, I will definitely try this
@@arvinlalicanjr.8220 your Welcome and See you in another video.
Where did you get that banshee box?
It was a limited time only for storing many RG line products but due to COVID the Seller has stopped making them and selling the remaining ones nationally.
Is olive oil good instead of Jhonson baby oil?
If you dont have the Baby oil a substitute like olive oil could work try it i never did it myself.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea ok, thanks, new subscriber 🙂
@@KathyaVazquez thanks for the sub
Mine broke on the lower ring part because I thought it moved
@Ethan Fry well that happened even if you are not looking at the manual or not having any experience but don't worry if you are not going to pose it too much you can fix it with Super Glue but if you are going to pose it a lot then i recommend you can ask to a friend to make a identhical copy of the runner in his 3D Printer works the same for trying to get a new Runner.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea I found a ring type piece from a 30mm kit so I just drilled a 3mm hole in the arm to fit it
@@ms-07b3goufcustom9 yeah , thats another way to fix the kit but remember some people actually don't have the money to buy expensive stuff or don't want to spent any money at all so , your tip is another good one that can be viable to help others. Thanks for sharing it.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea that's ok, it seems to work for now
@@ms-07b3goufcustom9 sorry for not answering thanks for the Answer and enjoy your stay as long as you want in this youtube channel.
Yo ty so much
Ur Welcome
Can soapy water help?
Never tried, but you can give it a try
I also found that putting it in hot water for a minute or two can loosen. At least for me 🤷♂️
That could work i never tried that but it must be in between of the temperature because if the water is too hot like really really you will want to say goodbye to the part. xDD
Idk if it’s just me but on mine the head keeps popping off is there any way to fix is or is it designed like this
@@kinjychampion9651 sadly it's the same for my Norn as well, maybe they designed it like that.
Im like 11 i have a rg unicorn Gundam red ntd ver and your help with this problem help out thanks
Ur Welcome.
Just busted the left arm of my rg unicorn.
Really mad. Not doing real grades anymore, just master grades.
1/144 scale with that many parts and they are so fragile, cant even build without destroying things, so forget it.
Feels like i wasted 80 bucks on this guy.
Solutions at this point is glue, and sacrifice articulation...
Its the damned L shaped piece that connects the inner torso to the shoulders. That is a horrible design.
Well i can't argue with your decisition cause the Unicorns entire Line is so bad in terms of articulations but aesthetics they look amazing. So if you wait a little bit cause i got an info of the entire RG getting a revamps in every way possible so give them a try afterwards.
can i use cooking oil ?
If you are trying to cook your kit , then i say try it if not the i suggest you that you try at least using baby oil.
that didnt break on me
Well , you should still lubricate the parts cause at first glance it will look like it will not break , but trust me after you pose him a lot of time it will break because of the stress thats been applying to the parts.
My shit snapped off
This is going to be the most saddest thing to say but right now i'm on the verge of something really bad at the point of just choosing of keeping the youtube channel alive or deleting it the reason of this as i mentioned on one of my videos all products are not from your money but from mine and this could be a harsh one but i think right now all the future projects that i bought are really on the edge of the cliff, so right now i'm not asking money for those that subscribe i'm actually asking is for Subscribers so there is a new GOAL we need to at least hit 500 Subs or even 1k Subs if we do not reach that amount in this year then sadly the channel will need to be turned down forever. So Hope this reach to everyone and that you can help me continue my passion.
Does anyone know where I can buy the replacement parts
You can go and buy it on your closest hobby store where you bought your model kits or even ask online.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea thank you I didn't know hobby stores sell any replacement parts
@@nelsonramos8546 some of them do and some of them they don't you need to find the correct one.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea ok I live in New York City I don't have a lot of hobby shops near me
@@nelsonramos8546 well my fellow subscriber i can only hope to give you one of the best ways possible to acquire a replacement part.
1. Is by contacting a Gundam Base store or any seller that sells bandai model kits. And then you need to follow this rules so you would understand how the procedures work.
Replacement services may be provided for the following circumstances:
Defects-missing components from the package, duplicate components, item broken-in-package
Wrong paint colors (e.g. blue instead of red)
Broken / Lost / Defective model kit components (maximum of 6 parts per model kit purchase)
We cannot provide replacements for any of the collectible items if the items have been on the market for 8 months or longer.
Item replacement is subject to manufacturer availability
2. You can ask on Reddit and also facebook there is a big community that can help you find your broken part.
Silicone it's not good for safe to use for fixing stiff parts in the unicorn the baby oil it's safe to use for stiff parts the stiff parts it's really to easy break gunpla plastic parts
There is a specific Silicone Oil, friendly helper for plastic parts.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea thank you
@@Tsunimitsu ur Welcome.
Sadly this did not work in my kit :/
Sad to hear it pal.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yeah, it sucks, but thanks for uploading your video, without it I couldn't even try anything to make it work, I really appreciate your help :)
@@luccassennadacosta1476 i was surprised the amount of people with this issue and thought that would be irrelevant to upload this cause there is a reddit post that talks about it.
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yeah man, sure!!! Imagine who had this same issue with the p-bandai phenex...
The master grade unicorn gundam worth the build?I don't intend to buy other real grade so soon....
@@luccassennadacosta1476 i mean at this point the newest MGEX Unicorn is the new fashion in model kits on the MASTER GRADE line cause of the led and everything , the price is quite expesive but it's worth every penny for myself i only intend to collect the HG and RG cause the MG are really BIG and they need a lot of space so you can actually leave them at a good spot for people sights but at this point and upcoming next year bandai will focus on the RG line cause of the positives Reviews from their EVAS series and ZEONG.
until now im using a vaseline lotion and my unicorn is doing fine lol but maybe i'll try the baby oil for my hi nu build 😁
Je , going fo the RG Hi nu as well isn't it?
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yyep!! can't wait to get my hand on one of those
@@notbenithecow5920 as soon as i finish the Cursed City Minis i'll be back with full steam to build all my Pile of shame of gunplas. And yeah the RG ZEONG , is the one i have in mind as first build.
No fuckin vid bout thay
Sorry for not answering bro i was on a trip well, shit bad luck mate if your part snapped then the best way to fix it is by using superglue but you cannot move that part or else get a spare part from another unicorn kit or banshee they share same parts only color are different.
i saw u on google
Uhh Reaallyy?!!
@@HobbyandFuninKorea yess my gundam broke so i searched google 5 scrolls down and i see u
@@watazordz then, thanks my man hope that the video helped you a lot even if couldn't make a good capture and explanation in the video. Also thanks for the subscription my man.
no prob
Bro mine snapped
🥲
do u know how to fix a actual broken arm so it still posable
The only possible way to fix that kind of issue is that you make a hole in the broken part and then use a 2mm copper modeling pipe and attach the parts together , also you can go ahead and glue the parts that are broken and apply a little of the baby oil or silicon grease abd try twisting (without applying too much force over the broken part) and with that you could make the part new again but not permanent.
