Expert Review

The frame and base body are identical to the RG Unicorn Gundam, and it still delivers that incredibly precise transformation gimmick that surpasses even the MG, along with solid locking and excellent articulation. At the same time, the downsides carry over too — the joint balance feels a bit off in places, and the Unicorn Mode feet don't grip the ground very well. The shoulders in particular are extremely stiff, so when you try to move them you often end up knocking other parts off or accidentally triggering the Destroy Mode gimmicks — which is still a bit of a shame. That said, it's still impressive how they managed to cram such a precise transformation gimmick into such a small frame while nailing both proportions and articulation. Thanks to the deeper color scheme and the more elaborate backpack and Armed Armor DE, the visual impact is even stronger than the Unicorn Gundam. The newly added backpack and Armed Armor DE transformation gimmicks and functionality are also implemented with a quality that's more than worthy of the RG title. The Armed Armor DE can be mounted on the backpack using a separate joint part, and the revolving launcher added to the beam rifle is cleverly designed so you can rotate the internal gimmick to attach the Beam Jitte in bayonet form. Like the RG Unicorn Gundam, there are still a few minor nitpicks here and there, but the overall quality and value for money are outstanding. Honestly, being able to enjoy this level of quality for ¥4,000 — as a Gunpla fan, that feels like a blessing. This one's a gem. :-)
