This kit is the HGUC Unicorn Banshee Unicorn Mode Clear Ver., released as a Bandai Online Shop - Club G exclusive, and was released alongside the Destroy Mode version.
Since it's Unicorn Mode, the overall look is naturally plainer compared to Destroy Mode, so the finished kit feels a bit on the bland side. ^^; On top of that, the deep dark blue clear armor is so heavily tinted that you don't really get that see-through effect you'd expect from a clear kit. That said, the smooth clear armor surface does catch the light nicely and gives off a nice sheen.
And even if the clear effect is a bit lacking, it definitely has a subtly luminous quality compared to the normal version, so it still has its own appeal as a clear variant..
If you had to choose between the Banshee Clear in Destroy Mode or Unicorn Mode, the Destroy Mode definitely wins out for sheer visual impact — but really, whether it's the Banshee or the Unicorn, you've gotta build the whole set to get the full experience! If you're a Unicorn fan, definitely go ahead and build both the Unicorn and Destroy Modes~ :-)
