God, waiting on these LEDs is torture. Just starting at all these sprues, begging to be assembled. This is what I get for waiting until after the kit's arrived to order the parts  On the other hand, popping the chest/binders/GN Drives open when they arrive shouldn't be too hard, should it? I mean, Bandai realized that batteries occasionally need to be replaced... right? Right?

The kit is DESIGNED to be taken apart to remove the LEDs if the batteries die.

Do the Bearguy III and Kshatriya have compatible shoulder joints? If I wanted to make a Bearatriya could I just pop the arms off a Kshatriya and put them on a Bearguy III?

I did a test build of my MG Phenex before I go ahead and decide to strip the metallic coating or what... The joints are really really lovely, it's impossible to pose or even really get on a stand right now without falling into a billion pieces. Gonna need to pledge the crap out of it.

Welcome to MG Unicorn. It can be hard to remember given how long it's stayed in vogue, but it's a seven year old transforming kit.

Destroy mode is borderline okay if you pose it and NEVER EVER touch it again. Unicorn mode is pretty solid. Except the loving ankle covers. Glue those fuckers on. A lot of the stability problems are solved by not extending his ankle psychoframe.

Is it pretty legit on a stand? Where does it rate against say the Zeta 2.0?

MG Unicorn's like most vKas; an incredibly ambitious design that didn't quite work out, so you'll have to do some mods. If you get one, pick a mode to display it in and glue it that way forever. You'll be happier for it. And if you pick Destroy Mode than take the time to fix the horrid leg proportions and paint silver backings on the psychoframe. It really does make a difference. As for where it stands against Zeta 2.0, articulation is about the same but the weapons are much less awkward to pose with.

That first thing is usually the solid cohesion of the suit's construction. I just finished part of my MG Delta Plus, and I swear to God I envy the HG cousin that is a partsformer. Who gives a poo poo if a suit can transform natively if every little swivel and clasp threatens to bend/break/fall off? Edit: Building my MG Delta Plus made me miss how rock solid the MG Jesta actually is. No Bullshit gimmicks, only tight and sturdy construction.

Bandai really doesn't want the thing to fail, it's crazy how much advertisement it's gotten. It's just a shame that, well, is anyone here actually thinking of getting it?

As much as I want to, I can't really justify spending that kind of money on a model kit I'll probably never get around to finishing and have no place to display properly even if I did finish it.

When you factor in how small Japanese living spaces are it becomes even more confusing as to why the thing even exists.

As a change from the Neo Zeong, there's review pics of the Zssa and Airmaster up. I may be wrong, but I think the Zssa's missing it's stickers because there's no visible monoeye and don't the kits with the swirly cuffs like the Sinanju usually have a sticker to cover them? (especially at the Zssa's price point)

The thing exists because Unicorn has made Bandai truckloads of money, although I do agree with you that it's a dumb idea for a model kit. You'd think Bandai would have just went for PG Unicorn/Sinanju if they wanted to attract the hardcore Gunpla fans.

Printed materials are generally the last components of a kit to be produced. That Airmaster looks hella tight for a small-sized HG, and I don't even care for the design much. Why couldn't the F91 have been this good? edit: I don't object to the existence of the Neo-Zeong — more kits is always good, heck do ALL the kits — but I just can't conceive of any scenario in which this release does not wind up clogging warehouses for a long time to come. The HGUC Dendro took, what, something like four years to sell through its first pressing? I seem to recall hearing that people actually got fired over that one.
