      I feel like one that was the Gundam Base Limited Unicorn that had a more flat gold instead of this shimmering gold would’ve been a better choice. The gold on the GBL Unicorn still shines a bit, but it’s not as blaring as the Phenex. I’m still going to get the Phenex one day, but it’d be better if it’s gold was like that of the GBL

    I typically get the RG kits specific for posing needs, while the MG and PG kits are more for static use(or I just rather not fiddle with them basically). So it is worth it, especially seeing as Bandai still has me waiting for an expansion set to add tails to the PG AADEs.

      Trust me having the MG/PG, it was better not having the v-fin transform. unlike the uni/banshee it doesn't just fold in half, there's a 2nd hinge to make it a mohawk. That would make the fin either too fragile or ridiculously thick.

    Fantastic video! Your in-depth dive into the details made me really excited to build this one even with the drawbacks. Do you have any tips for how to remove the plated pieces to minimize nub problems? And I gotta ask, if you don’t mind... what kind of setup do you use for the rotating stand? That adds so much to this that a static action base won’t provide!

    If you only want it the new tail stabilizers, there's third party one from a company named EffectWing. they make armed armor VN/BS set that also comes with the tails. VN/BS parts can be attached to Hg Unicorns too, but the tails are only designed to fit Rg shields, They also make another set that includes two Rg armed armor DE with connector pieces for both Hg/Rg backpack and transformable Phenex's V-fins for Rg (But can't fold back in unicorn mode, just close and open action) in 1/144 scale, there are 4 color options for both set that's white with red psycoframes, white with green, black with yellow and yellow(uncoated Hg Phenex color) with blue. I got both sets in a price that would be around 10$ each.
    PS. the tail parts I presume are copied from Rg Unicorn Perfectibility. it also uses the double wire like the one in this video.

    For a premium kit, i don't think bandai should cut costs by not providing rita bernal as the small figurine. I did pre order it though.
    I see you have your hands on standby mode to catch the kit when it fell down lol. Thats new XD.
