This kit is the Gundam Base limited HGUC Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex (Destroy Mode) Gold & Silver Coating Set. Compared to the standard release HGUC Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex Destroy Mode [Narrative Ver.], the Narrative-specific stabilizers have been removed and the Armed Armor DE height has been lowered. The result is two Phenex Destroy Mode kits bundled together — one in gold coating with a blue frame, and the other in silver coating with a pink frame.

So the basic characteristics are the same as the original kit, and it's still a solid-quality HGUC release. The real highlight here is obviously the gold/silver coating, so when checking out this review, just focus on the coating colors and overall visuals. Weapons-wise, you get the standard beam rifle and shield, but the bazooka and beam saber effect parts are not included. Posing options are naturally a bit limited given the nature of plated kits, but true to the Phenex's character, just standing it on display gives it an undeniable presence.

As for the gold coating, compared to the standard release HGUC Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex Destroy Mode [Narrative Ver.] Gold Coating, this one comes out noticeably brighter — and it actually feels pretty close to the standard release MG Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenexgold coating. The silver coating, same as the Club G exclusive HGUC Unicorn Gundam Unit 3 Phenex Type RC (Unicorn Mode) Silver Coating Ver. , has a deep, dark gunmetal feel to it. The coating quality itself is decent on both, though the undergating isn't done very well, so gate marks are fairly visible.

All in all, this kit is notable for bundling two coating variants of the standard Phenex (rather than the Narrative version) into one set. Both the quality and the visuals are excellent, but that ¥20,000 price tag is definitely a tough pill to swallow. That said, if you're a fan of the Unicorn series and love plated kits, this is a well-put-together set that's well worth opening your wallet for. :-)
