The most noticeable difference is definitely the psycho-frame color.

This kit is the MG Unicorn Banshee [Last Battle Ver.], released as a Bandai Online Shop – Club G exclusive. It actually came out two months before the regular retail MG Banshee. True to the novel's color scheme, the standout feature is the psycho-frame awakening in green instead of yellow.

In terms of actual kit composition, it's essentially the MG Unicorn Gundam with only the head antennae swapped out for the Banshee version — the rest of the body and limbs are identical to the standard Unicorn. That said, some parts on the skirt and legs are included on separate runners to reproduce the yellow color scheme. The head antennae are also coated in a lovely Extra Finish-style coating, almost like a titanium finish version, which gives it that extra bit of limited-edition flair compared to the standard release.

The basic characteristics are the same as the existing MG Unicorn, so the articulation is still pretty poor due to the intricate transformation gimmick — not a great kit for dynamic posing ^^; Since it's basically a display piece anyway, that's kind of expected. The silver lining is that the joint strength has been gradually improved compared to the first-release Unicorn, so it's fairly easy to keep standing in display mode.

Either way, this is a kit that feels like a blend of the Unicorn and Banshee, and if you're after the novel's Last Battle Ver. color scheme, it's a limited edition well worth going for :-)
