@@Studio_OZKai there is already a Ver KA. but i believe that KA doesnt have color changing LED. so you have 2 KA ver, the base unicorn in red psycho frame and the FA unicorn in awakened colors. the normal LED was at first a separate kit that would make the PG Unicorn cost 3k yen. the banshee with the Armed VN/BS plus LED kit would cost even more. now the color changing LED was sold as part of RG Unicorn/Banshee Gundam Base special. but its not an adjustable pose kit so this Unicorn is the Culmination of the PG lights, Ver KA and the RG gundam Base LED. i bet the MGEX ver KA banshee will come out soon. the new mold is not a new style... its to allow the wiring+LED to be installed.
@@eisenklad The Unicorn is already a rather complex designed suit that I don't think needs a "new style" to it. In fact, I'm not a fan of most of the Metal Builds or HiRMs because they deviate too far from the source design of the unit.

starforcenetwork hold up. Conspiracy theory time. Maybe the poll that the g self won for the new ver ka wasn’t meant for the normal ver ka kits. Bandai has probably had this line in the works for a couple years now and what if the unicorn is their first demonstration of their led tech.

@@starforcenetwork no thank you I'd like my G-self to be affordable so I can get multiple for the inevitable P-Bandai packs. The unicorn is apparently about 22800 yen from what I saw.
I really really hope, it's a complete new build and stuff, because the existing MG Unicorn and all of his variants are stunning to look at, but an extreme pain in the a** to pose and manipulate once everything is put together (especially in destroy mode). Hope this one is the good one 🤞
Yeah, I've heard it's a shitty poser for the verKa but because the verKa was made in 2007, there should be more improvements with using that led technology too
pain in the ass is an understatement. i have the full armor unicorn and i left the shields on the arms and the arms in destroy mode. it is freaeking awesome to look at. but damn is it annoying to pose
I think they will probably focus on a different aspect for the second in this line. If this "extreme" feature will be its lighting system, i doubt #2 in the line will do the same.
I think I'll just wait for the regular release using this new able-to-bend-its knee MG Unicorn frame.. I couldn't bargain my son's milk for this price tag.. 😔
Expensive as heck (214$) But look at what all you get this time around. The perfect grade level of Gunpla LEDs included in the ENTIRE Gunpla Special Stand that also lights up your Shield bits. Insane posing Totally worth!
To be fair, we have to give Bandai some credit for announcing 2 ver.ka releases in the middle of a pandemic when most offices are closed and most of us are working at home.
Well to be fair, the PG Unicorn Gundam's LED units could not change color as it is a UV light. You either had to get the regular release or the final battle version
I feel like exia could also use the extreme luminous system well too since it could glow green normally and go red for trans am and itd be cool if they used the led sheets for the gn cables
C.L. The Raccoon yeah but the mg is better price wise with an led unit. The regular pg one doesnt have the final battle version, and cant swap. If you wanted the final battle version you would have to pay more for it and the led unit
@@geetee3201 That's very true, actually. However, I'd rather an MG Unicorn that's not hot garbage, AND not something that will always be out of my price range as a casual builder. I'm hoping for a non lighting version of this kit, which is no doubt what's jacking up the price. hell they can even keep the psycho frame parts clear and I can paint the clear red into it, that'd even be a fun project. just gimme an MG unicorn with a better frame, better transformation and isn't just something I'll hate building.
I think i know the background of this new line being made; Some builder: "it's shame this great Unicorn kit can't light up, oh i know lets put some tiny LEDs in it and makes it lights". Some third party; " wow that unicorn lights up, lets make LEDs even better with bluetooth controlled and copy of clear colorles parts, and sell them, money... $$$ Also some builders; "wow this additional parts is lit, buy it". Bandai; "hmmm I see some promising market, lets make it, also take this extra parts and decals.... Its original Kit... Its extreme...
So about 214 USD for an MG huh? Kit looks really sick, I just hope that the "evolution of MG" can get that price down later in the line (though this would look sick next to my PG Exia Lighting...).
So this was SHOULD be the definitive version of Unicorn. Light up funnels, new transformation that is “intuitive” and well articulated. Sounds like a 2.0
for me it's great, I always wanted the pg but it's too big, plus it comes with every unicorn accessory besides the full armor parts and the pg didn't have light up shields
@@LatencyProblem is it actually more plastic? It has a MS cage and and shield stands but idk if that even equates to more plastic than a PG. Plastic quantity wise it's just MG unicorn MS cage version with 2 more shields and 3 shield stands
@@RayFChung The inclusion of the LED unit alone makes this a pretty good value - considering the (inferior) LED units on the PG versions run like 150$ stand alone. But then you throw on the stand, cage, 3 other stands and full articulation, i have trouble seeing how this isn't a reasonable price.
From further images I've seen of the MGEX Unicorn ( pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb6e6svUYAA0psL?format=jpg&name=large ), I'm kinda glad that my concerns about the leg articulation were unfounded, given that the new kit does have superior leg articulation to the old MG kit. This kit does seem to be looking more and more like essentially a 1/100 version of the PG Unicorn.
There's already a 3rd gen LED kit from a 3rd party that's great for the GN Drive. Also reminds me of MJH's LED kit for the 1/60 Unicorn except it's downsized. Other than the wiring and drilling of the inner frame, most kits are already compatible for it. Anyone building this would had already been experienced to build their own LED kit. Just missing the controller circuit for it.
The fact that this was released in multiple videos in diff language narrations shows this is a big deal and we prob SHOULD buy it. I was sold on this many times over on just unicorn being unicorn so...yeah gotta love that military like voice, wish they'd do more serious and mature voice acting in eng dubs =/
Extremely Expensive too. They sure went for the extreme factor here. - That aside, looks pretty cool, finally a light-up MG which has articulation and a redesigned frame... the MG Unicorn frame was getting old already, and the decals seem to be of the newer HGUC variant (Full Armor Red-Frame), so it looks pretty nice.
For the EXTREME POINT of the RX-78-2 MGEX, to emulate the feelings of Amuro Ray, Captain Bright will personally come and slap you in the face until you tell him "not even my dad has hit me before"
People complain that Bandai keeps releasing the Unicorn, but they keep buying it. You guys reap what you sow. The only problem I have with this kit is the price, LEDs aren't THAT expensive.
Since this series is seemingly going to be based around one specific gimmick or “extreme point” as they call it, I do wonder how they’ll handle the Rx-78-2. Perhaps they’ll include a way to recreate the look of the animation.
This is cool and all, but this seems a bit too much to pay for an mg with a led system unless they fix all of the flaws the unicorn had. Hope they do release a version of the kit without the led.
eh even with a fixed knee, is the led system really even worth paying that price? They havent really shown anything that justifies it costing 200 bucks more (Cad) than MG Unicorn with MS cage.
For that price, why not just buy PG, which I hear is a perfectly fine gunpla AND much bigger? This has me worried about how much the new RX-78-2 Perfect Grade will be, I was interested in getting that.
