Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

  • The head can pivot up/down on a hinge and swivel on a ball-joint neck.
  • The shoulder joints can slightly raise upwards and/or slightly swing forwards/backwards.
  • The arms can...
    • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joints.
  • Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The waist can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction.
  • The hip joint axis can swing frontwards/backwards on one side.
  • The upper thighs are swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armors.
  • The ankles can slightly tilt forwards/backwards, or sideways.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • The hands are swappable.
  • Each of the weapons must be wielded by their own respective hands.
  • The Full Armor attachment can mount onto or remove from the Unicorn Gundam.
  • The Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack or forearms as handheld weapons.
  • Beam Magnum can mount onto either both sides of the arms or onto the backpack via a flip-out tab.
  • Beam Magnum Magazine can be stored onto the rear waist armor.
  • Either of the two shields (Normal, Destroy Mode) can be mounted onto the backpack via an adapter (A18) if the Unicorn Gundam isn't mounted with the Full Armor attachment.
    • The Gatling Guns can be mounted along with the shield as well.
  • Hyper Bazooka + Grenade Launcher can be optionally removed from the Full Armor attachment as handheld weapons.
  • The Destroy Mode shield + Gatling Gun combinations can form a triple I-Field arrangement via an adapter arm.
  • Support stands can be attached to the Large Boosters.
  • Unicorn Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases. (sold separately)

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
  • Care must be taken while separating the hand parts: Due to its slightly tight construction, the pin that connects the thumb section can potentially snap off if you separate it with excessive force.
  • If one chooses, the normal Unicorn Mode shield can be built into Destroy Mode's shield with the surplus pieces (B25, B26, E28, 2 pairs of C20-21)
    • The surplus shield adapter (A9) can be used as well.

Customizing-based tips

  • Front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
  • The open hands from the HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) can be used on this kit.
  • The clear parts from The Gundam Base exclusive variant can be used to swap the Psycoframe parts (and its polycaps) to recreate the deactivated version of the unit.

B-Club related customizations

  • High Detail Manipulator 200 can be used for this kit.
