Gundam Unicorn "Ver Ka" Metallic Inox Steel Finish

The review of this Unicorn Ver Ka really took me some time to post during the holiday season. Although I had already finished doing the kit, my daughter got sick and I had to look after her. But anyway, because this kit is way popular and a lot of photos floating around the net, I didn't bother to pound this post with tons of out of the box pics. Secondly, I have to admit in advance that I'm disappointed with this kit. I mean there is one particular thing that turned me-off. Its articulation. . I bet most of the poses you will see around the net, this unicorn is just standing. Of course, with the use of an action base you can play around with its poseability but in terms of the legs movability, personally its a failure in my opinion.

A Glimpse of the Gundam Unicorn "Ver Ka" Metallic Inox Steel Finish

While I was on my way of trying to complete MG Gundam Unicorn "Ver Ka", the Banshee Unicorm suddenly popped out at the end of the scene in the episode 4 of the Unicorm series. Grrrr! that Banshee surely looks astonishingly cool. Apparently, the HGUC Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode versions will be rolled-out by Bandai this coming January 2012 according to gundam.info as shown in the picture way below.

Here (above) is by the way the progress I have made with my Unicorn - so called Metallic Inox Steel Finish. I custom painted it with a mixture of carbon graphite and silver to achieve a diffrent effect so it's NOT glossy like the typical Titanium Finish that Bandai released. Though the details are not yet really visble here in the photo. I will post more detailed photos in the future once I have completed the kit. So far I have only put a couple of decals  and have to weather it. The weapons too are yet to be assembled.
