MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee (Release Date: Mar. 2012, Price: 5500 yen)
As seen in the last scene of Gundam UC Episode 4, the 'Black Unicorn' had appeared. The MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee can be transformed from Unicorn Mode to Destroy Mode.
Gimmicks:
- The Gold colored psycho frame is made of special material that illuminates under black light / UV light.
- Armed Armor VN (Left Arm) can be expanded/closed.
- Armed Armor BS (Right Arm) can be epxanded/closed, and has a special beam gimmick
Accessories:
Armed Armor BS, Armed Armor VN, Beam Saber Hilt x4, Beam Saber x2, Standing & Sitting Marida figure, Horn [Destroy Mode], 21 runners, decals & stickers, and assembly instruction
does it not come with normal beam rifle and shield like those used by normal unicorn?
ReplyDeleteLooks like not, unlike the HGUCs. However, I think the Armed Armors VN and BS may make a better substitute, especially for those sick of making Beam Magnums, Hyper Bazookas, and Shields from Full Armor (like me :P). Plus, the Psychoframe's unique gimmick makes up for it more than I can imagine :)
DeleteUnique? Both OVA MG versions of the Unicorn Gundam have that.
DeleteThe Light Novel of the Banshee has the Beam Magnum and shield. So it might be impossible to remove them from the MG version.
DeleteOr you could buy Unicorn Gundam & paint it Black?
DeleteI think I'll pass on this one, those new weapons are completely unappealing to me. Since all it is a black unicorn, I don't know why they couldn't have included the original shield and magnum. Would adding those runners really cost that much?
ReplyDeleteIt would be the easiest thing for Bandai to do, but they probably won't. So they can come out with a novel version of Banshee and a OVA version of Banshee.(Not including that final battle or whatever version that we saw pictures before)
DeleteLooks nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't have problem with its accessories.
But I'll wait for further review before deciding on this one.
I think the beam magnum and shield is exclusive to the Bandai Hobby Division "ver. ka" (AKA the novel version)Banshee with the cyan psychoframe.
ReplyDeleteWhile the OVA version gets the Armed Armor BS/VN.
hmm I wonder if the clear stickers would look nice on the black plastic... it's difficult enough to topcoat the stickers on white surface to hide the border... =S
ReplyDeleteI hope bandai will release a new water slide decal set for this one...

DeleteThey showed the Banshee image and data in the same scene with Marida in Episode 4, if you knew a single thing about foreshadowing, that alone should make it pretty clear. Besides, practically everyone knows it's Marida at this point.

DeleteYou never saw the emotional scene with her and her Qubeley? And you were the one acting butthurt at GG for doing us a favor and translating what was on the promo image (and it says Marida on there too).
DeleteI dont like it since the shoulders look to small for its body and the vn/bs armnaments
