WARNING: The LED strip in this model is extremely fragile. If it is broken during the building process, we will not be able to provide a replacement. Kits eligible for replacement would have to fall within the distributor policy. Please take extra care while building.
MGEX is the MG High-end brand that pursues the "EXTREME EXPRESSION" of the MS under certain theme for by combining the culmination of BANDAI SPIRITS technology and different materials. VOL.1 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam is dedicated to the "LUMINOUS MECHANISM" and uses the combination of new materials-Flexible LED Sheet to challenge the "EXTREME EXPRESSION" of "Psycho Frame".
The amount of quotation marks and words in all caps in that given description gave me a headache, so let's try this again: The MG EX Unicorn is the first in a line of model kits that is designed to challenge the limits of what was previously thought possible in 1/100 scale. Using a flexible LED sheet, Bandai is pushing the limitations of articulation and poseability while maintaining a lighting gimmick throughout the entire inner frame. There are new water slide decals, a new MS cage, three shields, 6 beam gatling guns, beam magnum, hyper bazooka, and 4 beam saber blades included making this the most well-rounded rendition of the Unicorn Gundam available in 1/100 scale! (Gotta say, we also really like the lights-off gray destroy mode!)

Build this in shifts! I've built at least one version of each RX-0 MG that's come out and each time I build one, I tell myself "never again". Don't get me wrong, I love the design of the Unicorn, but every time it's like rebuilding a potato from a bag of potato chips. Everything moves, shifts, and there are few large pieces. Everything is made up of everything else. Some kits look great and are fun to build. This? This looks AMAZING, but the journey to get there is tedious and repetitive (building six gatling guns and three shields... oof).
I know it sounds like I'm dumping on this kit, but I'm not. The end result is STUNNING. The internal LED system is brilliant engineering and the joints are SNUG and will keep the limbs right where you want them.
If you want a Unicorn and have the money and some gunpla experience, THIS is the kit you want.2 Comments Thank you for your feedback! You already voted Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again -

Worth the effort - but BE CAREFUL! I have been pecking at this one for a lonnnnng time. It's a massive build with fantastic accessories - but because of the price and size of the endeavor I've been moving slowly. I have about 50 decals left... then a topcoat and done!
THE GOOD: All the reasons one would want this kit - the LED, the articulation, the transforming panels, the base, the weapons... the list goes on.
THE (Allegedly) BAD: One must be extremely careful with the LED strip. No joke. One false move and you have a very cool model that no longer lights up. Mine is still in working order, but I have learned from the mistakes of others.
I find that many of the transforming panels are stiff/don't fit perfectly. I would typically chalk that up to my lack of experience, but with a nearly $300 kit, I don't think it's wrong to expect a perfect fit out of the box. Your mileage may vary here.
Do I recommend? YES, if you don't mind not getting 5 other kits - but you have to take your time.Comment Thank you for your feedback! You already voted Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again -

Holy Moly! The price can be tough to swallow, but getting it on sale helps. This may be my favorite kit to date. I love the Unicorn, and this is by far the best version they have made. Transforming is easy, the LEDs are awesome, and all the accessories you could want. If you like Unicorn Gundam and can afford it, you definitely won't regret it.

A bit finicky Instructions were pretty straight forward, its just a bit challenging due to having to build around the led sheet. Overall though it looks great. My favorite kit I've completed so far

Great model!! Over all it is great model. Joints are stable for fixed poses, details, armaments and articulation is great. The only down side is that the LED sheet gets easily break unless you are really careful when building the kit and moving fingers are easily dislocated.
