I got this kit today, and love building it, and your video helped me transform the chest. I try to do this before the next step so I don't accidentally mess something up.
Hello, this was a great video. At the end I’m pretty sure you asked for possible suggestions for reviews or speed builds, so my suggestion is any Master grade zaku, it could be speed build or a review. I just think it would be cool.
10:14 According to the instructions, you also need to rotate the ankle armor just next to it to face down. It feels like it stops rotating after a few degrees, but you just need to hold both sides and push it down with more force. Not sure why there this random stiffness, but there's more than enough jank and loose parts in this transformation itself. EDIT: There might be a step missing on the backpack, where the top of it can rotate up to reveal more psycho frame.
Love the overall look of this kit, hated building it. Really complicated build that I had to start and stop multiple times because I got so frustrated. Still can’t figure out how to assemble the head lol
It gets shat on a fair bit, but it really doesn't look that bad from what I've seen. I'll definitely pick it up as a compliment to my RG Unicorn (which I'm waiting to replace), and I think this video will help in giving it the love and attention it needs.
Need to mention you don't need tweezers to raise the leg psycho frame. There is the big white flab with a thruster on the back of the lower leg, you can pull it a bit down and that holds the big leg psycho frame part up and should lift it up. Thats how its intended. After a few transformations it wont do its job for me and i hold it in the front with two Fingers and put down the break so it wont falls back in the leg.😅
This was my first gunpla kit ever (I did no research and just got the coolest one I seen in the store). Was a real pain in the ass but it looks really cool and looking forward to my next (more informed) kit
"really easy to break the parts" yes i learn that the hard way, the psycho frame part that in the shoulder broke, luckily i manage to fix it my first MG and i only have one part broken plus a few numb marks
I thought I was prepared for this transformation since it's basically just the RG on larger scale. Man was I not ready for just how wrong I was.. the mg is so tight in the chest and the ankle that I actually ended up breaking two pieces which absolutely surprised the hell of me. The first broken part was that little bit of armor in the front of the ankle where you pull down, the second part was up by the Vulcans and I'm not really sure how that one even broke. One moment I'm pulling and the next moment my finger slips and I hear the sound of plastic hitting the table, so I've pretty much decided to not try transforming it again - which is fine since I like Unicorn mode more anyway
@@ansineesss I'd say overall the RG is the better option. It has its own issues like people breaking its arms and other things but if you read the instructions carefully you should be fine, plus they have quite a few videos out there that can show you the possible issues you might run into and how to deal with them
Thanks for the tip! Extremely difficult doing torso, that i broke a Flap…… not that noticeable and seems like a unnecessary part. Again, super helpful video!
Know that I got this kit around the time this video dropped, and only just completed it now. 😅 This one I needed to take multiple long breaks with (clearly). It’s tough…the directions (especially for the weapons and how to secure them) aren’t too great. It’s definitely a kit where I’d say buy the base, pick a pose and stick to it and never move it. 😂
I just bought this kit and I’m worried my sausage fingers are going to break a piece going into destroy mode. I’m almost done with a barbatos kit and then I’ll move on to this one, a lot of good pointers 👌🏽
ohhh man, short answer: This one but, even then its articulation is okay, MG unicorns are all display pieces, if you want to make the most of their ability to pose you will need an action base, all of them have their drawbacks in their own way, so in a way, even the MGEX has slightly limited articulation but its to make room for the light strips but it has enough to pose.
@@NhanduArt indeed gundam unicorn was best display even my little sd unicorn is very good inside my pc. Still wondering which i choose ver ka or ova version. My budget is limited
ver ka has a limited knee bend and no vulcan guns, ver ka has more sticker, ver ka has a grey inner frame but ova is gun metal color, beamsabers on ver ka is red, and blue on ova, guns on ova are light grey and ver ka has them on light grey
I was really hyped for getting this one. And just now I've read that it is actually a shitshow kit. But thanks to your video I don't feel bad about purchasing it.
Sinanju, Sinanju Stein, Sazabi, GM Sniper II, ZZ ver ka, Shin Musha Mk II and II, Barbatos, EX-S, Nu Ver Ka, Hi-Nu Ver ka , RX-78-2 2.0/Origin/3.0 to name a bunch :)
I do believe the rg unicorn is the perfect unicorn kit,price and build strength is amazing,the pg and mg ver ka are good undoubtedly but you know....price...normal mg isnt that great from what ive heard and the hg is average at best.
@@aggelosaggelos5696 OOB wise with no plan for modification or worse no info about the RG unicorn, It is really hell of a kit (and fun). Just mind the arm torso also to never touch it again. And yes I screwed building RG unicorn cause of that and the ones I mentioned above💀
@@aggelosaggelos5696 Out of Box build (forgot to insert that my bad)Yeah I wasn't well informed back then when I build RG unicorn. I lost count how many parts I broke that were mostly on the arm torso part. The arm elbow twist was notorious but luckily I solved that one and no oil was done or lubricant. If you're curious what I broke it's the G35 l shape piece and g8 and g9 I believe (If I remember right)
Welp, i just bought it today, and now i that i have seen this video, i will probably fail, but il try my best, oh and thanks for the transformation tutorial, it will help a lot.
Benjamin Soong as a kit yes I heard RG/PG are the best unicorns you can get currently, but personally I prefer 1/100s for the size. And we have the MGEX unicorn coming so we’ll see that turns out
According to what I'm reading they're pretty much the same, however the ova seems to have been given some new parts to improve articulation. Additionally you get a v-fin for destroy mode and the beam sabers were changed from pink to blue. Other wise the only real difference is in the kits colors.
@@hmmdoh7835 I think it could be because the ova seems to be printed more often, therefore the ver.ka is rarer, though one can never forget the possibility of scalpers. Not sure if it is an option for you, but newtype currently has the ova version on sale if your still interested.
It's mid tbh. not so good articulation, and weak ankles joint (use nail polish to make the joints stronger). But it's not that bad, this is my first ever gundam and i love the display it give both the destroy or Unicorn mode. if you love unicorn and doesn't mind the weak joints just buy it, but if you get annoyed easily by the joints buy the RG
Nice video! Very cool gunpla but, as you pointed out not for beginners. I’m sure you know the red frame glows when exposed to black light (ruclips.net/video/W7zMnUQxX9g/видео.html). I like your chsnnel. I subscribed.

I Like the way you said regarding cons/pros it helps me alot since i want to buy those kit. Very helpful.

Honestly, I am almost finished with it and I didn't even know it transformed. Now that I do, this is even better!
The Transformation explanation is very helpful. Thanks!
Your video is pretty good. This review is very simple and informative. Sad to see your channel isn’t updating any more. Anyway best wishes.
Saw gunpla, subscribed.
Saw cat, clicked like and commented.

Did you mean 360° turn? 😁 Great videos! I especially enjoyed your comparison video of the 2 phenex kits.

How tall is this kit? I’m considering to buy it but not sure if I should buy a larger or smaller figure
"really easy to break the parts" yes i learn that the hard way, the psycho frame part that in the shoulder broke, luckily i manage to fix it
my first MG and i only have one part broken plus a few numb marks
I broke something on the shoulder on my first time aswell lol
I had the same story too
Why are you so underrated?
Your videos are great
You deserve more subscibers...
The leg transformation is the trickiest part 😅

@@ansineesss No problem, happy to help out
Thanks for the tip! Extremely difficult doing torso, that i broke a Flap…… not that noticeable and seems like a unnecessary part. Again, super helpful video!
god i love my unicorn but its so damn delicate, the advice for the knee was very good, thanks
On the foot, the flap on the calf, you can pull it down so that the psycho frame goes out in the knees.
i suggest not going too hard on this nor do it frequently as the plastic will stress and break like with my copy
Pros: -Universal Century
You made my day

Couldn't figure out the head transformation thanks so much
How the sigma did you get the beam rifle of the sinanju to stay still in only one hand of the sinanju
I just bought this kit and I’m worried my sausage fingers are going to break a piece going into destroy mode. I’m almost done with a barbatos kit and then I’ll move on to this one, a lot of good pointers 👌🏽
Is the gundam mg unicorn twin frame good to buy in 2023?
Just have to thank you for your review, this is my first mg kit and I am really happy with it, but I have to say... This is 4 display, not 4 play😂
Which MG unicorn should i pick that has perfect articulation and no part loss. And the new one.
ohhh man, short answer: This one but, even then its articulation is okay, MG unicorns are all display pieces, if you want to make the most of their ability to pose you will need an action base, all of them have their drawbacks in their own way, so in a way, even the MGEX has slightly limited articulation but its to make room for the light strips but it has enough to pose.
@@NhanduArt indeed gundam unicorn was best display even my little sd unicorn is very good inside my pc. Still wondering which i choose ver ka or ova version. My budget is limited
Would you recommend it as a first build
not exactly, but if you really like how it looks then go for it :)
Hi, is there a big difference between this regular version and the ver. ka?
ver ka has a limited knee bend and no vulcan guns, ver ka has more sticker, ver ka has a grey inner frame but ova is gun metal color, beamsabers on ver ka is red, and blue on ova, guns on ova are light grey and ver ka has them on light grey
I think I built the arms or the joint wrong. Coz it doesn’t bend much, pretty close to a 90 degree angle only
Really nice, very informative
thank you! :D
I was really hyped for getting this one. And just now I've read that it is actually a shitshow kit. But thanks to your video I don't feel bad about purchasing it.
Bandai really did milk this ms to the ground
understatement haha
They buried it 6 feet underground
This one or the RG Unicorn?
Hi there, you mentioned that there are alot of other better kits out there. Do you mind suggesting some?
Sinanju, Sinanju Stein, Sazabi, GM Sniper II, ZZ ver ka, Shin Musha Mk II and II, Barbatos, EX-S, Nu Ver Ka, Hi-Nu Ver ka , RX-78-2 2.0/Origin/3.0 to name a bunch :)
Question, why did you just skip over the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam OVA Version MG? Just curious
does this kit include a gundam base like mgex?
MG RX-78-2 3.0
Broke the head while trying to transform......
Is there a way to fix it?
Is this the ova ver or ver ka
Just want to say what do you mean Hong Kong? This is my country and I have never seen this gundam
I have a question for mine as I’m getting it today for the v fin can I use a golden sharpie?
Do you have to paint it or does it come coloured?
Timothy Felis it comes colored as shown in the video 😊
The yellow horn is a sticker?
Challenge Accepted
Go for it! :D
Wich one is better the bandai mg uncorn or daban model mg unicon?
Bandai.
Very nice and helpful.
Hello, your video was dope ! I am gunpla store owner. May I have permission to use your youtube action base/gunpla review clip for my sale?
Sure thing :)
@@NhanduArt Thank you very much. I truely appreciate.
Thank you so much
is anyone else annoyed by the gap between the waist and the chest piece or isit just my gunpla?
I do believe the rg unicorn is the perfect unicorn kit,price and build strength is amazing,the pg and mg ver ka are good undoubtedly but you know....price...normal mg isnt that great from what ive heard and the hg is average at best.
But the cost of the RG Unicorn is it's fragility (especially arm torso part)
@moonrivervayonetta pov:you use lubricant and it works more than perfectly

Is it just me or the dark parts like the blue and grey ones has really noticeable nubs?
I can’t transform the torso
How easily will the side plates break
Welp, i just bought it today, and now i that i have seen this video, i will probably fail, but il try my best, oh and thanks for the transformation tutorial, it will help a lot.
I have a question, all of weapons on unicorn full armor ver ka, can it be attached on mg unicorn ova ?
As I recall the full armor unicorn ver.ka is is just the standard mg unicorn with more accessories and a green psycho frame. You should be fine.
this shouldn't be as hard as building the mg zeta gundam and also the transformation is x10 complex
... I just impulse bought Mg Unicorn and Mg Zeta today because they were in my store's very limited stock. *chuckles* "I'm in danger"
is this better or the rg version?
Benjamin Soong as a kit yes I heard RG/PG are the best unicorns you can get currently, but personally I prefer 1/100s for the size. And we have the MGEX unicorn coming so we’ll see that turns out

Hi! Yes this is Bandai
how long is that
How big is this
I got "this one" 1:10
Is that a bad thing? Lol
Nevermind, I'm jumping the gun here. I watched further in to hear more about this version
what the difference between Ver Ka and OVA version of unicorn (first one)
According to what I'm reading they're pretty much the same, however the ova seems to have been given some new parts to improve articulation. Additionally you get a v-fin for destroy mode and the beam sabers were changed from pink to blue. Other wise the only real difference is in the kits colors.

Not sure if it is an option for you, but newtype currently has the ova version on sale if your still interested.
@@eugeniahawkins4747 I have the ova from them alrdy 🤣
Just wondering what the diff lol

Bro I can't do it for some reason 💀
It is better than rg?
No infact the rg is better then the mg
AGHHH- I cant transform the kneeee
i broke a few parts ready🤣😅
Does this kit come with the usual green water slide decal sheet (green)
Cat for scale
Nooooo i thought you can do the 🖕with his articulated hands 😢
Better MGEX is coming
Noctis Yic but It’s 200$ and plus shipping which is like 5$
I’d rather get the RG ngl
