1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver.Ka Review

[@kakarot197]

Reupload to fix some things, including the extended knee articulation that I missed.

[@Marth1000]

I was like "Haven't I watched this already?...." But I'll gladly watch again because I WANT THIS KIT lmao

[@starrieyedGirl]

I'd love to get my hands on one but this Gundam and many other master grades and perfect grades are always sold out. Some master and perfect grades I've been trying for three years to obtain.

[@TonViper]

This kit was the first gunpla I ever assembled. It went surprisingly well, despite me accidentally snipping off a tab from one of the armor parts while I was cutting it out of the runner (the part fit on the model well despite that). It really helps that all the instructions are printed in both english and japanese, so you don't have to have a translator app open while reading the manual to make sure you haven't missed a crucial bit of info about the assembly.

[@BarelyDecentProduction]

it's kinda dark that they made a mini statue of cardeas depicting the very moment of his death

[@Kirby0189]

Wait till you see the Masterpiece Transformers that come with accessories to recreate death scenes like Prime's movie injury or Jazz's torn-out spine.

[@MrGrandure]

It's hilarious fam

[@thatmotivatedchris6749]

Me: who would buy model kit with a mini figure of a dead character ? Unicorn fan's: *WHERE NOT MASOCHIST's I SWEAR*

[@666styxxx666]

Vists death scene figure is important as if I remember correctly that was the only time the unicorn was in that cage unit ( for the red psyco mode on first activation) plus how often do you get the chance to paint a blooded gunpla figure "apart from the 1/144 gunpla builders sets of course" 👹gunna look forward to painting mine up , plus it would look great as a diorama set piece 👿👿

[@flaccidpancake336]

As much as i love the Unicorn, i would give this a pass, its too expensive for me, the best Unicorn for me is still the RG, if they decide to just sell the MGEX Unicorn as a standalone kit (no ms cage, no led, only 1 set of gatlings, 1 shield) i would buy it, but considering the psycho frame is clear, i doubt bandai is going to do that

[@muisverriet]

The entire point of the kit is the LED system. Bandai would be stupid to sell the Unicorn just on its own.

[@itsmepamz2477]

But the best 1/100 scale Unicorn is, definitely this kit. Because I prefer MG scale than HG/RG scale.

[@itsmepamz2477]

Except big HG/RG like Nu.

[@barrybend7189]

There needs to be an update of the HG and RG kits as they suffer from back problems due to the extra stuff added to it in the Phenex kit.

[@waqwaq5223]

@@barrybend7189 i don't think the rg one definitely needs an update, its already a solid model kit, basically the best 1/144 scale version of the unicorn and also the best real grade bandai has ever produced in 2017

[@michaelbelonio3342]

2:49 was that a Garand clip flying off after empty? How nostalgic hehe pew pew ping!

Drinking game, that a shot every time Kakarot calls the Beam Magnum a Beam Carbine... disclaimer: I am not responsible for any alcohol related injuries or deaths caused be the playing this game play at your own risk.

[@666styxxx666]

1 shot of sake ( warmed up of course) every time 😵 gonna need the big bottle here 🏯✌ easy game no hangover

[@Bobert2020]

The beam carbine has been corrected. Now make sure to never forget the difference between a beam carbine and a beam magnum

[@highhunter1st]

Kakarot: unloads beam magnum. Me: ptsd flash backs.

[@vustvaleo8068]

I hope Bandai listens to customer feedback and makes a "MGEX Unicorn 1.5" now with USB powered LED's, a remote control for said LED, and a mode that makes the LED stay on in years to come.

[@casvalcat3546]

Hahahahahahah

[@Lemuzaurio_streams]

And a torso that doesn't pop out by itself and breaks the LED sheet.

[@Crim-kun]

The mgex to the mg is what the rg is the hg, same size but much better tech under the hood. And that's even discounting the leds in the mgex

[@Lemuzaurio_streams]

I love this kit but sadly the LED strip broke when transforming into destroy mode, (the torso has a flimsy joint that breaks easily) that seems to happen to a lot of people so that fact should be more known.

[@areasevenpro]

I can't wait for The Gundam Base exclusive Ver.TWC release, which will have the rectangular side backpack thrusters, light gray armor panels, and a more nightmarish decal sheet like the Unicorn Gundam Statue. Yes, Bandai will eventually release one.

[@psycholocke4090]

I agree with your opinion on the power supply issue. If you can solder, solving it is easy. Also the mode controll of the LED might be solvable with a cheapo led module for led stripes. But that I can't say for sure without having a closer look at the used led stripe

[@ceeme03]

Kakarot - "No painting needed" Me - "Hold my backlog" On a serious note, I've not got the kit yet (it's in my warehouse), but I'm not looking forward to building this weapons for the 20th time, the RG FA Unicorn nearly killed me. *Edit* I'm still a little disappointed that bandai didnt provide hander decals, yes, third parties make them, but its once again, it's just one of those things that for the price tag.

[@casvalcat3546]

False statement. Those v-fin correcting color sticker is kinda bad. Painting it would make it better.

[@ceeme03]

I dont know what you're talking about with "false statement" I was talking about providing 'hanger decals'for for the base *edit* My mistake, you're referencing the "No painting needed", sorry. Yeah I agree, hence why I'll be painting my kit, stickers for upfront parts are criminal. It's a shame bandai couldn't utilize their duel molding process for the V fin

[@thatmotivatedchris6749]

(8:22) Me: *looks at price with surprise pikachu face* Also Me: *It was at this moment I decided to go by the real grade instead*

[@ajwest747]

What do you think are the chances of this getting re-released as sort of a Unicorn 2.0 without the LED (instead solid psycho frames) and less extras? I do not have a Unicorn MG yet and I really like the aesthetics of this over the existing OVA and FA ver. ka versions but I cannot justify the price this MGEX demands. I'd pick the PG Unicorn over this 10 times out of 10.

[@kivulifenrir]

0% as it's essentially already a 2.0 and the whole point of the kit is to have the LEDs.

[@casvalcat3546]

Uhh nope, Katoki already suggested an update 2.0 version of MG Unicorn to Bandai Hobby Division. And they came out with this. (Source: Interview with Katoki Hajime in MGEX instruction manual)

[@MistakenMedia087]

I just wish this had rgb functionality like you said, I'd love this to fit in my computer case and rgb. Vs my recolor that lives in there now.

[@ignisofficialgaming]

Chances are this will get reused for the Phenex and Banshee. That would explain all of the undergated parts

[@TheHeliommm]

cant wait to get my hands on this one, now that i've finished the MGHD

[@hotrod2246]

The heavy arms feels jealous of the amount of guns this one has

[@neptunestarprime]

You have a wonderful swan, wow i’m proud of you

[@MrGrandure]

I'm holding out for that new perfect grade rx78

[@666styxxx666]

Ordered the pg unleashed as well 😁

[@chrisstick5403]

Part of me really wants to buy this kit, now. But the other part of me says to wait for the inevitable Full Armor kit.

[@kivulifenrir]

If you have the existing MG FA Unicorn, those parts will fit the MGEX with abit of work.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Kakarot- reviews Geara Zulu Angelo Sauper use Me- waiting for HG Rozen Zulu, Kakarot's 'favorite' mobile suit. Word of advice- get the episode 7 version, as it comes with parts that can build the standard version, and it's color accurate

[@androyus]

Very nice review for this beast of a Master Grade EX. Though TBH, I would love to see you apply the decals, but still good. Btw, to shake things up a bit, how about you do a video of your custom kit every new year or every anniversary of your channel? Just a suggestion.

[@vp.7002]

I think the next MGEX should be a blue destiny unit 1 that can activate EXAM.

[@hks071]

I cannot work out the size properly since u didnt compare it to a always bulky zaku 3

[@altreon3608]

i would absolutely buy the inevitable banshee variant of this kit if the price was half - hell, let's be generous - 3/4 of what they're asking for. but for $200+? you're asking for too much bandai.

[@rockatrion]

I need one!!! Without dam Led, or cage or triple shields and in black, Maridas way!!!

[@inewulf3204]

I need a future where i can hook a friggin Gundam to The RGB headers on my Motherboard. Yes please

[@depression7387]

Thats some clean panellining. Could you make a video on how you panelline your kits?

[@Coolio_Ash]

Are you referring to the beam magnum as the beam car beam?

[@oooppiikkk]

yea RGB in gunpla ... only with an Adriano and actual 5v rgb LEDs . And as far as I know those RGB strip bulbs are literally the smallest diodes you can buy for cheap. so lights are only possible on PG or MS kits. it has been a quest for me as well to sync my gundpla with my rig lol

[@AjaxJP]

That v-fin sticker is a fucking travesty

[@mr.marmav4857]

12:25 bro why are u flexing on me!!

[@ANIME250]

another great review video

[@williamsusanto8082]

Is the top-tier Perfect Grade mentioned the PG Unleashed RX-78-2?

[@ralfsstuff]

It's a great looking kit, but it's just way too expensive for me. I'd love to see a cheaper variant with just the new unicorn. No fa, ms cage or leds.

[@erraddict]

I damaged my LED strip when the torso separated on me while trying to transform it into destroy mode. Any ideas where I can get a replacement LED strip?

[@Lemuzaurio_streams]

That's the exact thing that happened to me! That torso is just bad design out of an overall perfect model kit. If you are in the us you can get bluefin to replace it, otherwise you have no luck if you are somewhere else like myself...

Does the beam magnum have any way of holding the cartridge securely? I have the MG FAU and the magnum falls forward when tilted down causing the cartridge to fall out.

The rg has comparable if even better articulation

[@marvinjasonlopez3623]

Is there an indication how long the LED strip will last? Like in years? Or hours?

[@barrybend7189]

Now only if they put this energy into making a HG kit that can transform.

[@kagephenex]

Well they kinda did, the Baund Doc transforms and doesnt parts-form

[@barrybend7189]

@@kagephenex I was meaning this more for Unicorn kits in particular. As the high grades are meh due to age and the RG kits are early real grade.

[@kagephenex]

@@barrybend7189 I see. Well considering how the hg was meant to be simple and not overly complicated with tiny parts, i think its fine they dont transform. The bigger issue would be the articulation and loose joints. imo the RG is good enough of a transforming unicorn in 1/144 scale

[@itsmepamz2477]

@@barrybend7189 No, the RG is not an early RG. Real Grade kits become good is starting from Unicorn.

I wonder if you have the va kai full armor MG if it could work on this MGEX kit

[@iazy47]

Finally technical problem are back

[@ezlifecua]

in regards to the whole battery thing, that might be due to particular regulations in regards to shipping items with lithium batteries and since bandai isnt an electronics device company, there's a possibility that they couldnt justify filing the amount of paperwork needed to classify select kits from coming with lithium battery packs

I guess someone has already customized the power supply of the LED lol...

[@waqwaq5223]

Ok, i know this model kit has some amazing and fantastic articulation but, i think if you built it without applying the LED strips, the articulation would probably be the same as the real grade one

[@Lemuzaurio_streams]

The articulation by itself is limited to protect the LED sheet but one can easily remove the stuff that stops it from.damsging the LEDs if no LED sheet is used.

I'm sure with this success, Bandai will then make an MGEX Nu Gundam Ver. Ka with extra psychoframe all over the body and using the same LED strip technology to light it up. BANDAI TAKE ALL OUR MONEY(but I'm broke so please don't 😂😂😂)

It will be way longer time to get another MG Nu if they can make it. It was made in 2012 but still holding up well till today even though got small minor issues with the funnels.
