    You may have noticed I skipped some things near the end of the video like putting all the equipment on the Unicorn. To be frank, I was fed up with messing with the kit. After two days of filming, getting everything right, I just wanted to be done. So after I filmed the weapons, I just jumped to my final thoughts. I hope you all still enjoyed it and don't worry. The quality will go up.

  • @orbdotpng
    @orbdotpng 5 років тому +8

    you're not wrong for pointing out all those "issues" though I feel when compared to all the other Unicorn kits, this one is the "sturdiest" and can hold its poses well. for the shoulder joint, you gotta mess with that lil section on the edge that rotates to fully close the shoulder bits or to have 'em opened properly. same goes for the chest, you gotta mess with the shoulder connection a bit to close the chest section fully flush. It IS a marathon build so i can see why you feel this way. overall, apart from the shoulder joint, everything else seems fine to me and hey, a lil bit of glue goes a long way too lol.
    Now, If you'd excuse me, There's diarrhea to clean up.

  • @chasinthroughthedecade
    @chasinthroughthedecade 5 років тому +4

    I have to admit the RG Unicorn in itself, upon seeing just how gorgeous it is, is what made me want to dive in to the RG line; despite my fears due to the various horror stories from other builders.
    I can only wonder, though, if the stability issue would be a different story had it had the mini-MG frame the RG Crossbone had instead of the pre-built ones the RG line is (in)famous for.
    Nevertheless, once I have built a few more RG’s, I’m getting just the regular Unicorn.

  • @ForgedHorizons
    @ForgedHorizons 5 років тому +8

    For me the RG Unicorn is by and far the best RG I've built. It's sturdy, never falls apart, joints are tight but not too tight, poses really well transforms smoothly. So maybe it's just me, or maybe you've just gotten really bad luck. The RG Unicorn was my first kit but I don't think that I have rose tinted glasses for it. The thing has fallon off my display shelf multiple times and the worst thing thats happened is the beam magnum magazine falls off.

    I don't know what you're talking about. aside from the one joint in the shoulders being prone to breaking, (i broke 3 over 2 kits) and the bazzuka ammo clip falling out, this is one of the most stable rg there is. though gotta agree about the build, on the fa the weapons just seemed to take bloody forever, the mg was so much more of a grind to do tho so maybe having built that made this build more bearable

    Great video!
    May I know what that stand is?
    I'm new to Gunpla and I finished my first build (standard RG Unicorn) a few weeks back. Mine was pretty solid. The shoulders closed properly and no loose parts on the figure itself. The only loose items would be the Bazooka's clip and shield attachment to the arm. Nothing a tiny dab of Blue Tack didn't fix.
    Overall I enjoyed the build enough to buy the RG FA Unicorn and Banshee Norn. I'm starting the Norn first when my weather clears up.
    Cheers!

  • @WildRon
    @WildRon 5 років тому +2

    i think almost all unicorns rg and mg is really a pain in the arse to build (unicorn, banshee, i havent build phenex yet i want that gold plate tho), some are stable and some aren't. I have an MG Banshee ver Ka, and it took me almost 3 months to build because i'm busy and my skills are still lacking, it is a pain in the arse up until the point of top coating it. especially transforming it is really frustrating, that vents on the shoulder in my kits were really loose and i have to unplug it from there and just leave it hollow. But dont get me wrong, Unicorn kits are godamn awesome and are really really beautiful if you finished it, and i can fairly say it's an okay if you're not messing with the kit too much and just leave it be as a model kit (doesn't moving it that much). loving your reviews btw!

I need that sense of accomplishment, a finish line every so often. I tend to hop onto an hg build when that feeling starts to set in. Quick snap, panel line, top coat, and I get my dopamine along with knocking a box off the backlog.

      @@TheKrowSama You know, I was debating on which version to pick, or if I had to get one at all. I figured since I had both the Sinanju and the Norn, I should get a Unicorn too. The FA looks cool, but I dont really want to build the same parts thrice. The regular version is a bit vanilla, so I'll probably get the Bandee Desinee. I'll end up having 2 of the large shields, but I'll probably just scratch build something to make it unique.

    When a model kit has so many accessories with multiples of the same piece, build the accessories first! Once you've done this tedious portion of the build the actual model itself will be refreshing and so much more fun. We've all been there. It's too bad this version left a bit of a sour taste in your mouth but it is a good kit. So when the RG Nu Gundam releases try building the accessories first cause those funnels are gonna be a chore [well maybe not as much as the FA Unicorn but it's up there]. Great review.

    Since this was my first ever Unicorn, I had an absolute blast building it.
    HATED the FA weapons though. Like, six gatling guns, really? SIX???

    Can this kit hold a pose and look spectacular? Yes
    Do I want to pose it? No
    That sums up the RG Unicorn line. They're hand grenades and desperately want to blow up especially anything to do with the shoulders and arms. I find that you pretty much have to work out a pose with all the Shields and backpack off and then reassemble the FA. There's no way to safely move the arms with the huge shield and gatling guns on them

    RG Banshee Norn is garbage too, the head falls off, the shoulders explode, skirt pieces pop off by breathing on them, the inner shin psycho plates dont deploy without the thruster bell section popping out. Worst $45 I've spent on Gunpla.
