Mobile Suit RX-0 Unicorn Gundam "Ver. Ka" Full Psycho Frame Model Review

I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH THIS IN HIGH QUALITY

This kit has twenty trees of parts. That's pretty massive for a little 1/100 unicorn. Despite all the moving parts for the transformation process, this little guy is built solid, although I won't transform mine because I don't want to scratch the paint. Sanding took me the better part of two weeks, albeit because I only did it for an hour or two a day, while distracted by the t.v. Painting took six to eight hours, spread across a week. The color scheme varies slightly from the recommended kit colors, but is barely noticeable. In terms of modifications, I used the dry transfer decals that came with the model, but I ignored the stickers. Instead, I opted to buy some waterslide decals that Bandai made exclusively for the Unicorn (why they did not include it in the kit, I do not know).

Comments, questions, and ratings are appreciated.

While I agree the stickers were a mistake, I have to say my greatest complaint is the INCREDIBLY wimpy freedom of motion in the knees. My 10-year-old RX-79[G] can bend its knees farther. I have High Grades with better mobility. I heard the MG kit got that fixed, but the Katoki disappointed in that respect.

That said, I guess it never bends its knees in the novels or OVA.

Yea...bending knees are overrated anyway haha. I'd take surface detail/proper proportions over increased frame mobility but that's just me :)

I don't know anything about this gundam, so you could have shown and explained the red parts that are apparently underneath some of the outer frame.

[Jameson171]

you're right. but at the time, i was afraid of transforming it because i didn't want to scratch up the paint and decals. but to answer your question, the red parts represent the power of the "psycho frame" which is supposed to intensify whatever newtype powers the person has. maybe one of these days, i'll transform it very very carefully :)

do bandai keep on selling previous model kits

[Jameson171]

im not quite sure that bandai keeps producing its older kits, however places like ebay, HLJ, Hobbyfan, gundamstoreandmore etc should have hundreds of the older kits

[CopRad]

Your my hero for doing this :)

Creative Review ! Good Job !

Whoa its like a tv commercial lol

[SchizoFilms]

@Jameson171 While that's true, having mobility allows you to show off more of the detail, and some mobile suits' signature poses require it. For example, GM Sniper can't pose, looking down the sights, on its knees.

I saw this model kit with the titanium finish. I was close to a $100. I can't wait to buy it.

Do you have a paint outline? I cannot find a reference to know what parts need to be what color thanks.

[123asd1]
