Bandai Hobby RX-0 Gundam Unicorn Unit 02 Banshee 1/100 Master Grade (175316)

I would happily buy this product, or similar, again. It was purchased for my (adult) little brother for Xmas and he was positively delighted.Post-holidays and his getting around to building it; it is a lot more complex than his previous gundam, expected due to it's higher grading, and he is thoroughly enjoying it. He tells me it is well-made and of good quality materials but I wouldn't recommend it for young children due to both the need to use sharp scissors and other tools as well as glue during construction and the long building time.I estimate from between 2-4 weeks building time at 2-3 hours per day so this is an extensive project.It would make a good activity for older supervised children, teenagers and adults in my opinion and should be roughly 12-14 inches or so when finished.For people who are unfamiliar with Gunpla, it is model building kit based on characters from a popular anime/video game series named Gundam. Gunpla come in grades which denote their quality and difficulty and explanations as to how grades work can be freely found on the internet.

This is one of those products that are value for money and super entertaining. My 12YO was putting pieces together for 3 days without looking at the iPad or a TV or a phone. Worth every money !

Bought for my husband as he loves his anime models, great build and great quality!

Very nice, detailed kit. A little out of my skill grade though. No spares should you mess anything up, as i did with the transfers and one of the kneecaps. But it looks alright without decals, Transform from Unicorn mode to Destroy mode is great, but would be so much better with an LED kit

arrived in good time and an amazing kit i might buy a second so i have both forms

This was my first gundam model kit and not knowing what mastergrade means I just went for this one thinking it would be easy and quick, boy was I wrong, it can literally transform revealing the psycho frame in its destroy mode,the kit took about 2 days to finish but with out painting the gold parts looked ok but the best thing to do is to paint them a metallic gold it looks so much better, my advise is going for the smaller and cheaper high grade model kit first like the RX-78-2 Gundam (also really good) so you don't spend £40 on a MG then mucking it up, in conclusion I love this kit with a pation defenetly worth it.

Looks better in pictures. None of the parts that should be chrome gold are. It not black either, but the midnight blue isn’t too bad. The posing grip that comes with it is pretty useless as it doesn’t hold the figure firmly. You’ll need to use a joint grip that comes with a stand bought separately. Even then it’ll take some force and offsetting to get it to pose the way you want it to. This gets worse in destroy mode as it becomes very flimsy. It’s like a posing a house of cards. Overall it’s ok, but there are better MG 1/100 out there for the same price if not cheaper.
