This kit is the PG Unicorn Gundam Unit 2 Banshee Norn (Final Battle Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release PG Unicorn Gundam Unit 2 Banshee Norn,the frame color has been changed from orange to green. There's no new molding whatsoever — it's a straight-up frame color variant, though the wet decal colors have been adjusted to match the new frame.

So all the characteristics of the kit are identical to the original, and for this review you really just need to check out the changed frame color. It still boasts excellent sculpting and a solid transformation gimmick, and with the separately sold LED unit you can get some really impressive lighting effects. (Note: Unicorn Mode wasn't photographed separately since the frame is hidden and looks identical to the standard release.)

It's a simple frame color variant, but the kit itself is still fantastic. Honestly, if you already own the standard release with the orange frame, it's a tough sell to build another one. That said, if you haven't tried the standard PG Banshee Norn yet, or you're particularly attached to the Final Battle frame color, it's definitely worth giving it a shot. :-)
(For the record, between the standard releases and Club G exclusives, this is my 7th PG Unicorn with the LED unit installed — I'm pretty much sick of it at this point...)
