of note: the psychoframe runners are fully interchangeable with the MG Unicorn, even if they have mildly differing surface details. you can use the grey parts to make an inactive Unicorn, or swap the "awakened" green parts onto the Narrative.
I was in Tokyo when this came out. The gundam store at Diver City had a line to get a ticket to come back two hours later to get in line, and employees on standby constantly replenishing the kit. There is a building in akibahara which has a bunch of hobby stores on top of hobby stores (like ami ami and yellow submarine), and they kept changing the price of the kit little by little to compete with each other. You could come back an hour later and a store could have it for a couple hundred yen less.
i absolutely love how the kit actually can use the unicorn's psychoframe. Just the idea of a mobile suit that isn't as complex as the unicorn but was designed to have parts shift and partially convert in order to integrate the psychoframe of an entirely different mobile suit is cool, and the fact that this was replicated in the model is insane. I can just imagine a team of engineers and mechanics partially disassembling the mobile suit in order to equip the components of the unicorn. The narrative looks messy, incomplete, and with the psychoframe on, it definitely does look cobbled together, but that's what makes it such a cool concept imo.
Just finished this kit when you uploaded the video. I love it! The build was complicated, but I like how different it was to other kits. I bought two kits, one for regular mode, the other for destroy mode. but I guess one of them will be the B-pack. I decided to paint the psyco frame Gundam EX Marker Cosmo Meta Blue. Looks great!
Red, orange, green, vigorous red, blue (Phenex), blue (Perfectibility), colorless clear, purple (daban Phenex), luminous green, deactive grey, and new mold pink. So. Many. Options. The only colors that haven’t graced the MG are yellow (China red PG) and G-Phenex red (G-reco) HG There’s probably more SD/BB/SDCS colors I don’t know about.
1:25 Couldn't agree more! It's so weird and hard to understand at times what you're actually building but once done it all makes sense and tightens up. I wish I had shown the leg frame build in my review like you did because it's such a great example of how *weird* it goes together. The only thing I disagree with is the stability and poseability, for me it's been a great poser! If anything my problem has been the chest/core block takes too much force to remove and makes it difficult to separate in the way you want first try and also makes me worry about things going flying from the force when it eventually does pop.
Although the A-Pack is not likely as a Master Grade, if I had to guess, we're probably going to see a Real Grade version. In that case, I think Bandai would repurpose the existing A-Packs HG for 'Real Grade' version; i.e. recolor to make it look like an RG and make minor adjustment to make it compatible with the RG. Basically like GNR-001E GN Arms Type-E how it got a 'Real Type Color' re-colored release and adjusted connection point. Bandai already made the RG version for RX-0 Unicorn Gundam and the RX-93 ν Gundam. Considering this mobile suit is related would make sense... RX-9 Narrative Gundam ➡ RX-93 ν Gundam ➡ RX-0 Unicorn Gundam
needlessly complicated, shittiest core fighter ever, looks completely stupid without "optional" parts, and honestly it has less shelf presence than any unicorn gundam. i wish people would just call it out for the turd that it is.

Or make a "piss" NT-D on NT from banshee

YES I been waiting for this one! My favorite gunpla youtuber
it's always a joy read "jabman" on subs page. i may already know or own the kit but we'll watch it anyway. keep it up sigma bro
I hate this design but still watching to support one of the classic reviewers
The MG Deep Striker exists, the A pack isn't exactly out of the question.

I miss ur MG reviews Jabman. I hope all is well.

one of my first customs on youtube
Always looking forward to Jabman reviews. 👍👍
It wasn’t a challenge for me, but I love this kit nonetheless.

4:13 Dammit Its Magazine! Not Clip
They could use this to make an MG G Saviour and I would buy it

RX-9 Narrative Gundam ➡ RX-93 ν Gundam ➡ RX-0 Unicorn Gundam
Master grade seravee or riot.
How would you rate the sturdiness of the torso assembly in relation to the MG RX-78-2 3.0?
will you ever look at the Infinite Dimension Genesis?
I wonder if luminous crystal Pscho Frame is compatible with this one? And Since B pack in development is that means A Pack will greenlight too?
it would be fun but no............the A pack would be the size of a small refrigerator
I've got money on A-Packs; bring it Bandai.
nice
Plan on painting mine 2 tone black and painting the psycho frame like the banshee
MG kit of the year?
for now..........but I doubt it is going to win it outright
Pretty soon the MG kit of the year is just gonna be the only one they release
@@zannusx I certainly hope not........but......
how did u all find the shield adapter? mine was super tight, was incredibly afraid of breaking the grey bracing parts
make sure up move the adapter slid all the way up, it will be extremely tight until you do.....
First comment!! Nice review!

Personally, I prefer the inactive psychoframe look.
Its been a while.. Im happy you reviewed this kit. What have u done to other Narrative kit coz i thought u brought 2 of these?
He sold the other one.
