Ok, so I won't post any-phenex-related info since this would be anotehr time that I would be posting
about Unicorns. In fact I'am getting tired of building the same mold for seven times now - anyway...
SO, together with the Lame Gold Phenex this is another variant of Phenex - it's build in clear plastics with
tiny glitters inside. Not much of a change then.

[Bandai] HGUC 1/144 RX-0 Gundam Unicorn Destroy Mode - 7-11 Variant
7-Eleven and Bandai Strikes again, and this time they released one of the favorite
Gunpla this genre has - Unicorn. Well, what does it feel so special? You see, one of the unique part
of Unicorn was it's Pyscoframe - a lighter green pyschoframe. Just a quick review, Unicorns Psycoframe was made of clear
coloured plastics so altering it might be quite a challenge. I'm not saying it's impossible, but
it would take a lot of time and resources just to change.
Box - The box covered in white, marked with 7-Eleven logo and a light-green-coloured Pyscoframe Unicorn can be seen.
Armed with decals, a great combination of colour indeed. Well, the sad part was it's the same Unicorn all over again. One shield, one rifle and still no beam saber. The only thing I really dislike about it because aside from the unique psycho frame build it lacks weaponry and gimmicks - well just don't compare it to MG Unicorn which was transformable from normal to destroy.
Articulation will always be the same, and the only thing that will caught your eye is it's strong combination of green. And yes, if it ever crossed your mind it not Gundam Unicorn version Wasabi.
RX078-2 Shot.
The V-Fin has a different shade of green.
7-11 and Unicorn Decals.
Unicorn Shield - some people intend to repalce FA Unicorns Psychoframe with this, why? Because yes, it was lighter and has a much more stronger Greenish appeal rather than the Original Green Psycho frame. although Transforming FA wouldn't be complete since this one has only one shield and FA has 3 and the funnels has a different mold. p.s. Bandai decal was not in the original design, I well - just thought it fits there.
The feet and booster has a metallic greenish scheme to, which actually sucks because cutting it from the runners actually destroys it's quality and creates nub marks which was so hard to remove.

[Bandai] HGUC 1/144 - Full Armor RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode]
My 4th HGUC Unicorn in the shelf - as a result of the previous GMKC2014 I was inspired to do much more better so I practiced a bit with this one. Can't say it turn out to be good though.
The RX-0 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (aka Full Armor Unicorn, Unicorn) is the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam equipped with a staggering array of weapons. The unit is piloted by Banagher Links.

The box was as large as Sinanju's Box with FAU attacking with all he got.
Let's see what we got here: Green Psycho-Framed Unicorn, 3 Shield (1 closed cover for the back) with Gatling Guns, 2 Hyper Cannons, Beam Rifle, 2 Gas tank which really is a pain when posing so I hid them in the box, 3 Stands, 1 Y stand and finally some justice - it has 2 beam Sabers
So, let's get to the first question - What is the Difference between this one and the Expo Limited Pyscho Frame aside from the weapons? The Expo Limited Green Psycho Framed Unicorn aside from being the first one to arrived, it's body is already furnished. Already coated with a clear gloss effect unlike this one that has the regular plastic of Gunplas. Second Question - can I combine the Expo Limited Pyscho Frame and Full Armour Unicorn Normal to come up with this one? Actually you can combine them BUT you'll have less shield.
And Yes, what I did modified. First, I changed the regular white to flat white and top coated it with Matte. It depicts the shiny effect that the regular plastic does in which I do really hate. Next, Panel lines are less and they are harder to apply on a flat white paint but creates a darker line in which for me it does.
Then, I colored the Red missiles to Honda Red to make it brighter then combined it with Dull Black.Then change the Gray parts to primer Gray.
Then, for the Gas tanks - I did failed on panel lining this things since it was ahrder to rotate and the pen keeps on messing up.
But, I painted the thrusters to platinum same with the thrusters at Unicorns back, legs and back skirt..
And changed the Gatling guns - with a combination of dull black and platinum. Although the shine loss when I was stupid enough to spray matte to it making it light grey and extracted the shiny effect.
Overall, it took me a week to finish since I was too busy with work.
By the way, if you have watched HGUC Episode 7 - you should knowthat those shield are funnels. And floats all over to shoot down enemy mobile suit.
And it can do this - a circular shield to protect Unicorn.
As an additional info, P-Bandai released the red version of the kit.

Daban Model HG 1/144 Sinanju + 1/48 Sinanju Head Base + a bonus Cannon *Reposting*
Repost!
Hello~ Reposting this, this was posted on a Blog page so to minimize the usage of the pages I'am reposting this into a Blog post. Original Author was prisz.HG 1/144 Sinanju + 1/48 Sinanju Head Base + a bonus Cannon [or Canon, well whatever.] Sunday, July 14 of this year. I was visiting local stores where Class A's, Bootleg and Fake Copies of Figures are being sold. I saw a lot of cool new figures [even though those are copies] but one Unit really caught up my attention. This Dude:
Lately, i have been watching this series Gundam Unicorn and have always been amazed on how Full Frontal Move using the red comet, Sinanju. and For a while i have been playing Dynasty Warriors 3: Gundam on PS3, and lately been using Sinanju as my pilot's unit.
So let's get started:
Inside the package Contains 14 Frames, 3 Manuals.
Thankful for Daban for including this extra cannon in the kit, but probably anyone else who would acquire the same would say "IT won't fit the Sinanju's rifle." yes, it doesn't fit.
Sinanju
I won't be detailing this part, Assembling
Overall
+ HG 1/144 Zaku II MS-06S (Char Custom) Bandai
+ HG 1/144 Sinanju [+head base +custom cannon] Daban
My Rating: 8 out of 10
So let's get started:
Inside the package Contains 14 Frames, 3 Manuals.
- 1. Unit Manual
- 2. Headbase Manual
- 3. Extra Cannon [sadly, the gatling gun is not included.]
- 1. Detailed, yes it is.
- 2. it moves.
- 1. It's plain red, you have to paint it to get the color details done.
- 2. Placeholder for the Unit doesn't move, there is no articulation. Instead if you want to move it, you have to disassemble it.
- 3. Needs to be properly balanced before it can hold the Sinanju

Sinanju

Overall
- 1. The Kit is suprisingly detailed and almost perfectly copied.
- 2. Articulation is good, but handle most with care when turning since it's plastic is much softer than the Bandai Version
- 3. The Cannon was a good addition, but trust me it won't fit the original rifle.
- 4. Head base must be balanced well before it can hold the Unit, or see the fall of the Red comet right in front of your eyes!
- 5. The Sticker is Bad. It sticks but not aligned.
+ HG 1/144 Zaku II MS-06S (Char Custom) Bandai
+ HG 1/144 Sinanju [+head base +custom cannon] Daban
