Configured in Unicorn Mode.
Since the red-colored frame isn't exposed, there's no difference from the standard kit.

The Type 94 Base Jabber can also be recreated.

The part indicated by the arrow is the only sculpt change from the standard green-frame version.
It uses the OVA-style head with the added vulcans. (It's a bit hard to see since the photo came out too bright T_T)

Together with the standard release MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam.

This kit is the MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (Red Color Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a kit that swaps out the green frame from the standard release MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundamfor a red one. The basic sculpt and included parts are identical to the original, but the head has been swapped out for OVA-version parts.

So all the characteristics are the same as the original kit — it still requires an enormous assembly grind with over 700 parts. The volume, presence, and sense of accomplishment (!!) once it's finished are all fantastic, but with so much stuff hanging off it, you'll need to display it carefully. Anyway, for this review, just paying close attention to how the overall color feel changes with the new frame color should be enough. The head swap to the OVA version does add vulcans at the temples, but they're so tiny you can barely notice them.

That said, it's still significant that the red psycho-frame Full Armor Unicorn from the final episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" has made it into the MG lineup. If you're a fan of the Full Armor Unicorn, this seems like a kit worth taking on at least once alongside the standard version. :-)
