Super Size Soft Sinyl Figure RX-0 Unicorn Gundam




Banpresto anime prize Mobile Suit Gundam UC super size 35 cm soft vinyl figure RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Unicorn Mode] is the sofubi I need after visiting Odaiba! Banagher Links approves! Last pic is a size comparison with its gashapon. This is a fixed-pose model of an item from the Gundam universe. This non-scale figure doesn't transform into its destroy mode but is already very cool as a big central piece.

HGUC RGM-89S Stark Jegan













Standing side by side with HGUC Jegan RGM-89







I was really thrilled when I first saw Stark Jegan appearance in the first episode of 'Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn'! It's like Jegan having an awesome upgrade with extra armour plate, more maneuverability with fin backpack unit on the rear and heavier armament like those anti-ship shoulder mounted missile pods. The only question is who's the pilot and I wish there is background to the courageous pilot, charging towards NZ-666 Kshatriya. A special version of the RGM-89D Jegan D Type, the Stark Jegan has improved performance due to the additional armor and thrusters. The heavily armored Stark Jegan missile pod inherited the functional concept of the RGM-86R GM III. As far as color scheme goes, Stark Jegan is from the London Bell spec ops unit, more real life military colour on duller side. 

 The gunpla is price worthy for more material for a chunkier proportions in comparison to the ant regular GM. The shoulder mounted missile pods, the forearm plate gear and leg gear are detachable to the gunpla Stark Jegan. Apologises for not put much effort building this kit, poor nip trimming there, just top coat after building and adding some red and yellow touch-up using Gundam markers. The model includes a beam rifle, a saber or two and a bazooka. Overall, thumbs up to this 1/144 scale kit, successfully capturing the details, look and proportions of the animated version very well with good articulation and a more aggressive, beefy exterior. Here's a link to my previous post on HGUC Jegan-89.

MG Delta Plus MSN-001A1

















Delta Plus, a transformable Hyaku Shiki-type MS, joins the MG series. A definite choice of Gunpla in my collection with those pair of badass red eyes and sexy long legs. It can be completely transformed from the MS form into the Wave Rider form and adopted a lock mechanism so as not to lose its shape even after the transformation(Drastic improvement compared to older version 1.0 MG Zeta Gundam). However you won't see it in my post I never like to transform my Gunpla to avoid scratching them. The kit comes with marking stickers by Hajime Katoki so it look very Gundam Fix Figuration GFF style. On top it, I had even used additional 3rd party Unicorn Gundam series decals dedicated to MG Delta Plus. This kit hardly need any panel lining so the finishing touch was just matte top coating and spraying the rifle black.

Like most MG Gunpla kit, pilot figures of the same scale as Delta Plus would be included but I never paint them and was hoping Bandai or Banpresto would release Riddhe Marcenas trading figure in future. The Delta Plus is another sleek design found in the Gundam UC anime and much like the Master Grade ReZEL, the Delta Plus is capable of a melee attack as well as an alternate way to transform. In the OVA, Unicorn Gundam rode Delta Plus in waverider while they constantly shoot Beam Magnum, Beam Cannon, and Grenade Launchers. A special feature of Delta Plus Beam Saber following the trend of Hyaku Shiki (yellow Beam Saber) is the colour scheme, in this case a light blue Beam Saber. With a stand which really brought out the posing potential of this kit. Most complaints would be the stability of the kit in hangar standing pose with loose joints on kneels, ankle and feet.

Unicorn Gundam HGUC D-50C Loto Tanks Twin Set (Built & Repainted)

















D-50C Loto is a special operations transformable mobile suit, used by Earth Federation's special forces such as the ECOAS. It is featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. The unit is piloted by Daguza Mackle and Conroy Haagensen. Loto can take part in a variety of missions. To allow greater versatility the Loto can mount a variety of weapons on its shoulders (or the hardpoints between shoulder and head) including a pair of large cannons, a mega machine cannon, or a smaller machine cannon. Its fixed armaments include a beam burners and a pair of arm-mounted 12-tube missile containers. Like other descendants of the RX-75-4 Guntank. 

Here's a unique 1/144 scale High Grade Universal Century kit, the D-50C Loto from Gundam Unicorn. Being about 85mm tall, it's the smallest in HGUC series. Therefore due to the small of the mecha, Bandai included two tanks in a single box, hence the "Twin Set" is printed on the box. The idea is kind of cool as I can display both tanks in different mode. The Loto can transform from Mobile Suit (MS) mode into tank mode in five simple steps. Included weaponry consists of the Long Cannon and Mega Machine Cannon which can change these equipment after building.Marking stickers are also provided. I bought mine set built and painted. The previous owner has chosen a different colour scheme of military green insist of the dull brown. Tarnishes like mud dirts are also added to the kit for a more realistic feel. A custom base is also made with Loto model number.
