RG Unicorn Gundam (Final Battle Ver.) [Special Coating] - Together with the standard release RG Unicorn Gundam.

Together with the standard release RG Unicorn Gundam.

This kit is the Gundam Base exclusive RG Unicorn Gundam (Final Battle Ver.) [Special Coating]. The main body is based on the standard release RG Unicorn Gundamwith the frame changed to green and a titanium finish coating applied to the white armor. On top of that, you get 3 sets of the shield + gatling combo unique to the Final Battle Ver.

The features and contents of the main body are the same as the original kit, so feel free to refer to the existing RG Unicorn Gundam review for those details. In this review, the focus is on the look of the plated surfaces and the additional parts included. First off, the gatlings from the standard release RG Full Armor Unicorn Gundamand the stand parts from the HG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Modehave been recycled to recreate the shield + gatling combo. The various joint parts needed to mount the shield + gatlings on the forearm or place them on a stand are provided as newly sculpted pieces.

As is the case with most plated kits, the coating reduces the clearance between parts, making the joints a bit stiffer. That means rock-solid stability in any pose, but you do need to be careful not to apply too much force or you risk breaking something. (I actually snapped a forearm joint myself while forcing it T_T)

So this is a kit that faithfully delivers both the titanium finish coating and the Final Battle Ver. parts, and they did put in the effort of adding newly sculpted parts too — but the ¥11,600 price tag is a bit of a sting. All in all, it's a kit where the quality is solid but the price is the barrier. If you're a fan of titanium finish coatings in particular, it's definitely worth going for. :-)
