BANDAIHobby PG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Model Kit (1/60 Scale) (BAN194365)

This is my very first Perfect Grade build! Alright, alot of the pieces are tough to snap together, so you really want to be careful with where and how you apply pressure. I broke a foot part, but thankfully I was able to fix it with super glue. The head(top part with the green stickers to the face part), the bottom feet joints, and the ball joints that connect to the waist are hard to snap in. Also the long white piece on the back of the legs with a thruster on them have to snap into a tiny joint that moves up and down along the back of the leg. There's a groove in the space that holds the joint, so you want to move that joint up and then snap in the long, white piece with the thruster onto the back of the lower leg. If you add the LED, the assembly gets more complicated. Watch some youtube videos and it can help you get through it all. That helped me alot. The kit can actually do some good poses even with the LED installed. The wires from the LED to the backpack and the stand are a little too short. Don't put them inside the square of the stand like the instructions show. Put them on the open space of the stand, and you'll have more room to adjust things. The kit can stand on it's on, off of the base they give you. The ankles are strong. It's not weak like the Master Grade. The details are amazing! Easily, it's the best model of the Unicorn Gundam. When you compare it to the Master Grade, it'll make you wish all your favorite kits were made into a Perfect Grade. You get extra psycho-frame all around that's not on a Master Grade. The mold has many options for panel lining, and some people buy these metal parts to apply to it. If you don't buy the LED, the psycho-frame lights up under Black Light!!! It looks amazing!!! I highly recommend it for Unicorn fans!

Bought for our 13 year old son for Christmas. Well made. Sturdy. He really enjoyed putting it together.

I'm a very causal Gunpla builder (would love to take it more seriously, but time and money are of short supply. :p) I have enjoyed every second of this build. It was my very first pg, and even being more casual I have had no problem hiding runner nibs. It's made even easier that most parts are undercut, so nibs don't show from the outside anyways. I highly suggest buying this with the psycho frame lights. It's a beautiful kit either way, but the subtle pulsing flow from the frame is something magical. Worth every penny! I'd also say that this is a great introduction into PG mobile suits as the pg unicorn and mg are almost identical save a few intricacies. As far as quality, everything is great. A few minor annoyances as with any kit, but no loose joints or parts that constantly fall off. The rocket launcher and shield/gattling guns are very heavy, but if you lose the suit correctly you can get him to hold the weapons up without any extra support. The only thing that I don't like is the horn when in unicorn form. It does not stay together well. The magnets should have been stronger. But, overall, a wonderful kit.

Everything alright with the box and the pieces inside

This kit is big. Bigger than all the other pefect grades ive built. It's not overly complicated but the transformation into Destroy mode takes a bit of effort to get used to.Pros:BigSolidly builtThe accessories and standNot crazy complicatedCons:The wristsThe anklesSome call this a refined version of the master grade RX0 Unicorn. Others call it simplistic. Id have to agree with both. However unlike the MG Unicorn, which is a plastic grenade waiting to just fall apart, this one is solidly built. The joints, most of them, are strong and stiff. Maybe a bit too stiff, they sometimes get out of their socket when trying to pose. This may be due to the fact that it mixes poly caps and hard pieces together in the joints. There are no screws or metal in this like the older perfect grades. My only complaints would be that the ankles turned out to be super stiff and hard to move and the wrists are weak. The weight of the weapons drag the hand down, make it sag a bit while holding anything other than the beam saber. But overall 9/10 would build again.

The issues arise when it comes to changing it from Unicorn to Destroy mode. Once you have it in one mode KEEP IT THERE! Don't get me wrong, you can change it back and forth a couple of times but after that couple of times don't change it since it (In my experience) break, a couple shoulder parts broke off and are being glued back together. Again, this is a beauty of a kit and I highly recommend it if you have the money for it and the lighting kit, I made the mistake of not getting the lighting kit and I regret it heavily, but that isn't the point.TL;DR some armor parts are weaker than other, be careful

This was my first Perfect Grade kit, and I know it's not the best perfect grade to start with, but mine turned out looking amazing. The only real downfalls this kit has are in the head and shoulder pads. The visor face in Unicorn mode is rather loose and the tops of the shoulders are especially loose in Destroy Mode, but other than that this kit is great. The transformation gimmick the kit has is very well implemented, aside from the face plate and shoulders. Of course, this model kit is not the easiest, and I had a pretty challenging time building this kit, but the overall look is amazing, even unpainted.

If you collect these, this is a must have. My son has been collecting these for a few years and he said this is by far his favorite.
