A massive, imposing large Booster worthy of the PG grade.
The detail isn't all that different from the MG version, though.

The completed PG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam measures roughly 55cm long and 55cm tall.
It completely fills my 75cm × 65cm review shooting studio, making it really hard to shoot from different angles.
For reference, that studio was built by gutting a built-in closet and converting it into a dedicated Gunpla shooting space.

This kit is the FA expansion set for the PG Unicorn Gundam, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's an additional armament kit designed to bring the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam — which already had insane volume even at MG scale — to PG size. All the Full Armor weaponry minus the main body comes packed in a PG-sized large box.

First off, the overall sculpting is a bit on the plain side — the detail feels like a straight scale-up of the MG armaments. The 2 shields and 4 beam gatling guns are reused directly from the existing PG Unicorn Gundam kit, and the hyper bazooka only has a few joint parts swapped out. Only one hyper bazooka is included in this kit, so you'll need to reuse the one from your existing PG Unicorn Gundam for the second. To mount the grenade launcher, triple missile launcher, and hand grenade units for the Full Armor configuration, you'll need to swap out the parts on both sides and the bottom of the barrel.

The massive large Booster stretches nearly 40cm long, and a height-adjustable stand is included to support it. The thruster frame that locks onto the PG Unicorn Gundam's backpack is nice and sturdy, so the large Booster stays firmly in place. The dedicated stand included with the PG Unicorn Gundam also does a great job of holding the main body rock-solid, so even with all the Full Armor weaponry hanging off it, you can still get a stable display. Thanks to that, despite the enormous size, it's actually easier to display than the MG or HGUC Full Armor Unicorn. As a bonus, a set of weapon-gripping fixed hands is also included, letting you get a more secure grip on the beam rifle.

That said, the sheer size can literally be a problem — both the length and height come in at 55cm each. Even in my spacious 75×65cm dedicated review studio, it fills the space so completely that it's hard to turn and shoot from different angles. With volume this record-breaking, it's going to be tough to display anywhere short of a seriously large display case. The weaponry is also quite heavy, which causes the arms to droop and press in toward the body — a bit of a shame. Given the size and weight, attempting any kind of pose is no easy feat, and honestly the safest bet is just to stand it straight and leave it. (Not that it needs a pose to look imposing — it radiates presence just standing there..)

To sum it up: the detail is a little underwhelming for a PG, but the sheer impact that comes from its massive size is something else. It holds together surprisingly well for its size, so if you can handle the space it demands, it makes for a stunning display. If you love big, imposing kits and you're a fan of the PG Unicorn Gundam, this is definitely a giant-volume accessory kit worth going for. :-)
