Bandai RX-0 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Ver.Ka 1/100 Master Grade

After finishing the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam a couple weeks ago, my overall experience behind it is very positive. It took me about a week to complete with decals in all, even then I skipped out on the base jabber it comes with since the main feature is the Gundam, not some dinky rocket thing it rides. If you plan on putting on decals, you won't be disappointed with the final results, even if it adds a hefty amount of build time and requires no margin of error since there are no duplicates. The complementary color set between the red warning signs and green psycho frame really makes everything pop even if you might need to run your hobby knife along the crease points to make them stick better without coming undone. This kit doesn't pose well, the amount of weapons really make it finicky and parts might fall off, and unless you're as patient as an elephant, don't bother with posing the missile launchers in its hands since the weight of the missile pods and grenades make it nearly impossible with everything attached. HOWEVER, it might be a bit of a nightmare getting it into the right pose, but when you do, there is an amazing sense of gratitude that you got it accomplished since it looks just fantastic. At this point, I'd skip out on this kit with the possibility of an OVA version coming out soon since the Sinanju's getting the same treatment. With a possible variant, I'd go for that over this since we can only assume it will be better since the changes from the Ver. Ka. Unicorn and the OVA Unicorn kit. All in all, I'd say it's a really nice kit if you can invest in the patience, which will pay off, but I'd pass with the possibility of an OVA version coming out in the near future.

Good kit, but a grenade when handling for poses

When I first saw this on Amazon and looked through it, I had that attitude of, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!" And it was well worth it. I love this model. It's looking so "beast" on my display with my other gundams. The giant weapon sandwiches on each arm just look so powerful and intimidatingly sexy plus the weapon pack on the back. I fortunately had good luck with the psychoframe parts since they didn't break because at this time I'm writing this review, I'm building it's sister unit, the Unicorn Banshee MG. There were so many parts that broke from the Banshee and I'm looking back at this beast and thinking that I was really lucky. The only bad things about this gundam is that it can be kind of repetitive building some of the parts ESPECIALLY the beam gating guns. Everything else, it was extremely fun to build. When I was finished with it, I couldn't believe I was already done. It's worth your time and money :)

I bought this model one month ago, It took me a whole weekend to build up. It is tall and strong. I find it looks awesome even without any decals. Later on, it took me several hours to transform it from "Unicorn Mode" into "Destroy Mode". Even though some parts are tricky to transform, I still enjoy it very much. To put all the decals on is not a easy job. Because there are hundreds of decals. I spent 3 weeks or so to put all the decals on little by little. The finished model did look fantastic. And what makes me really happy is that it looks exactly the same as the picture printed on the box. It makes me feel it deserves all my hard working. This model suit is well made, very fun and very beautiful. It is a good choice model suite for any body who loves Katoki Hajime Gundam models.

This thing has so many sprues and alot of armor. Most definitely worth every penny. Came exactly the day it was supposed to so Fast delivery for sure. Recommend item and seller.

Got a legit Gundam kit at a time when these were selling out at brick-and-mortar stores in my city. It's pretty nice, but wouldn't recommend for beginners

If you like big, complicated kits with lots of guns and hundreds of decals, then this kit is for you. If not, you might want to give it a pass. Pros: - Just look at all those weapons! This guy comes with literally dozens of guns and other accessories, and it can even hold them all at the same time! It even comes with some that the Unicorn never actually used in the show. - While it remains as finicky as ever, the Unicorn itself is a good kit in its own right. The difference between its two modes, and the fact that when transformed it gains an entire new secondary color (green, in this case) is just great. - All the connections for the various accessories are rock solid. The joints will need some tightening, but none of the weapons will fall off once they're bolted on. - Very few of those accessories are "just for show". For example, the bazookas don't just clamp onto the backpack and do nothing else; they can be held just as easily as any of the weapons... Cons: - ...that is to say, not very easily. Those 2.0 hands have a real hard time holding some of the weapons, especially the spears, the magnums, and the grenade launchers. The spears in particular have a very awkward and loose handle that isn't tight enough to keep it pointed in any direction but down. You HAVE to tighten that joint if you have any intention of making the Unicorn hold it. - Those massive boosters look great, but unless you have a stand, forget about trying to make the kit balance while they're attached. They don't connect very well to the frames that are supposed to prop them up; they just kind of rest on them. Without the boosters, however, it can stand without a problem. - As per usual with MG Unicorns, the flexibility isn't great. Not that you'll be needing much flexibility if you have him hold everything. And as always, the ankles are pretty weak. - The finickiness of the transformation gimmick can be a real pain; if you thought it was hard to keep everything in place while posing the regular Unicorn, it's even worse with the FA version. - The arms simply cannot do anything but hang there if he's holding everything possible. Again, tightening the joints helps. A dab of superglue will do the trick, as long as you let it dry completely first. - The Base Jabber is very silly-looking; good thing it's just an extra. All in all, it's a great display piece; a great brick kit. If that's your thing, go for it. If you like messing around with your models on a regular basis, this one might be a bit of a pain. And for goodness' sake, make sure you have a stand if you get it; it makes everything easier.

Excelente producto Entrega OK

New hobbyists please don't even think about getting this one, you will end up putting this one aside, One of the better Ver ka Kits. Super back heavy so posing is not an option, However will stand tall in all its glory!!

Éste Gunpla no es para cualquiera, requiere esfuerzo, técnica, tiempo y un gran gusto al modelo en sí porque te consumirá bastante; aún así si logras aventurarte en ésta empresa sentirás una gran satisfacción al completarlo. Gran detalle, una increíble cantidad de accesorios y una imagen increíblemente imponente son lo que componen éste model kit. La cantidad de piezas es lo más desafiante, el Gundam en sí se arma rápido pero los accesorios te quitarán fácilmente 60% del tiempo total de armado debido al gran detalle, un ejemplo son las beam gatling. éstas son 6 en total, 6 beam gatling dde 4 cañones, conde cada cañón se arma de forma independiente, donde cada cañón se compone de dos piezas; sólo con las beam gatling tienes que cortar y detallar 48 piezas... y aún faltas cosas pequeñas como las granadas o los Epack de las beam magnum. sin duda requiere un nivel sobre el principiante y un gran amor para sacar todo el potencial posible del suit, y no lo digo para desanimarlos sino porque yo lo armé siendo principiante y me dy cuenta de todo lo que me falta y podría hacer para mejorarlo. ahora lo malo, es extremadamente pesado, los brazos no pueden mantenerse erguidos por el enorme peso, los boosters lo sacan de balance de forma increíble, el torso podría estar mejor fijado y si no tienes una base, lo deberás tener siempre parado en la misma posición ya que no podrá mantener ninguna otra. En concreto es una unidad magnífica, con sus fallos ciertamente, pero la satisfacción de terminarla es increíble, además tener los punts extras de estar en modo Unicorn, transformarse a NT-D modo despertar y el base jabber le dan varios puntos extra.

Auf den ersten Blick scheint der Bau des voll bewegliche Bausatzes, allein durch die Zahl der mehrfarbigen Bauteile, echte Arbeit zu verursachen, aber weit gefehlt: die überragende Passgenauigkeit ermöglicht entspannte, schnelle Montage. Zwar müsste das Modell nicht bemalt werden, aber da die Teile auch gesteckt halten würden, ist es wirklich leicht alles abwechselnd zu lackieren und montieren. Die Anleitung ist logisch gegliedert und übersichtlich. Die Master Grade Bausätze von Bandai zeigen, was qualitativ machbar ist. Schade das Bandai hier zu lande nur Spielzeug vermarkten will und diese Top-Modelle vom Kunden mühsam besorgt werden müssen.

My husband was really happy with the purchase!

Do yourselves a favor and have a stand before you build this kit. There are a ton of decals, including a large sheet of rub off decals. This one ate up a lot of my time but the end result is awesome, a little too awesome as he no longer fits on my shelf with the bazookas sticking up in the air so high. Time for some re-arranging.
