Together with the HGUC / MG Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility released as Gundam Base exclusives.

This kit is the SD Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility, released as a Gundam Base exclusive. It's the third Perfectibility kit to come out, following the HGUC and MG versions. The kit is made up of a combination of runners from the kits listed below, with the stabilizers, the sub-arm for the Armed Armor DE, and the Hyper Beam Jabelin all provided as newly sculpted parts.

1. SD Unicorn Gundam : Main body and basic weapons
2. SD Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex : Armed Armor DE, backpack joint
3. SD Unicorn Gundam Banshee : Armed Armor VN/BS
4. SD Unicorn Gundam Banshee Norn : Armed Armor XC

So the basic characteristics are pretty much the same as the SD Unicorn Gundam, and while it's not perfect, it can transform between Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode. That said, the legs and front skirt are fixed in Destroy Mode, so in Unicorn Mode it still ends up looking a bit awkward. The Armed Armor DE also lacks the function to shorten its length for Unicorn Mode, so this kit is really meant for Destroy Mode at its core. I think you just have to appreciate the fact that even at SD scale, some transformation gimmick is included at all.

This was never a particularly poseable SD kit to begin with, so you can't really expect dynamic poses from this one either. The shoulders still tend to pop off during posing, so you'll need to be careful when changing the arm angles. The newly added stabilizers and Hyper Beam Jabelin do look great on the kit, but the hollowing-out on the back of the Hyper Beam Jabelin is pretty bad..

All that said, it's impressive that they managed to pull off a convincing Perfectibility even at SD grade by adding newly sculpted parts. It comes in at a lower price than other grades, and in a compact size that makes for a stable display. Either way, if you're a fan of the Perfectibility series, there's really no reason not to pick this one up :-)
