This kit is the HGUC Sinanju Stein (Unicorn Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release HGUC Sinanju Stein [Narrative Ver.] , the molded colors have been changed and new sculpts have been added. Quite a few more parts ended up being changed than I expected.

On the main body, the Sodetsu-ki markings on the chest and forearms have been removed, and the propellant tanks on the backpack have been shortened as well. The weapon has been swapped out for a newly sculpted High Beam Rifle, and the lower portion of the shield has also been changed to a different shape. Everything else — the basic frame and armor pieces — remains the same as before, so the articulation and joint strength are still solid and reliable. So for this review, I'd suggest focusing mainly on the changed sculpts and weapons.

Honestly, it feels like this Unicorn Ver. should have come out before the standard Narrative Ver. — but either way, it's good that the Unicorn Ver. got a release at all, even if only through Club G. In any case, since this is the original Sinanju Stein with newly sculpted parts applied, it's definitely worth picking up if you're a Unicorn fan. :-)
