Bandai 1/100 MG Unicorn Gundam (HD Col/MS Cage)

Banagher's Unicorn, reworked in HD Color

This is the HD Color version of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, released to match the "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn" OVA rather than the manga-derived tones of the original MG release. Bandai reworked the head (new vulcans), deepened the armour colours, and rebuilt the leg runners for better hip actuation, so it stands apart from the standard MG Unicorn, not just in the box art.

It ships with the MS Cage display accessory and four 1/100 scale figures (Audrey, Banagher, Cardeas and Marida), built to recreate the containment scene from the anime.

Build difficulty

Rated Skill Level 3. This is a kit where cement and paint are recommended for the full finish, not a snap-fit weekend build. Expect a genuine multi-session project: the inner frame, psycho-frame reveal parts, MS Cage assembly and full weapon loadout (Beam Magnum with magazine, Hyper Bazooka, Shield, Beam Saber) add up to real build time. Best tackled after at least one MG under your belt.

Technical highlights

Fully transformable between Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode, with 360-degree hip mobility. The psycho-frame is exposed through Destroy Mode via the additional antenna and armour changes. Colour separation covers the new HD Color scheme without needing a full repaint, though panel lining and detail painting will get the most out of the finish.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • HD Color scheme: Deeper, more screen-accurate armour tones than the standard-release MG Unicorn, matched to the OVA rather than the manga.
  • Redesigned head: New vulcans and head sculpt to match the animated version.
  • MS Cage included: A posable storage cage for spare parts that locks onto an Action Base 4 for display.
  • Four included figures: Audrey, Banagher, Cardeas and Marida in 1/100 scale for scene-setting.
  • Reworked hip runners: New R1/R2 leg runners improve hip actuation over the original MG release.
  • Full weapon loadout: Beam Magnum with magazine, Hyper Bazooka, shield and beam saber.

What's In The Box

  • Full runner set for the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (HD Color scheme)
  • MS Cage display accessory (posable, stores spare parts)
  • Four 1/100 scale figures: Audrey, Banagher, Cardeas, Marida
  • Beam Magnum with magazine
  • Hyper Bazooka
  • Shield
  • Beam Saber
  • Foil sticker sheet
  • Dry decal sheet
  • Instruction manual

Compatible Accessories

No display base is included beyond the MS Cage. For dynamic Destroy Mode poses, pair the MG Unicorn Gundam (HD Col/MS Cage) with the Bandai Action Base 4, the standard 1/100 display stand that the MS Cage itself is also designed to mount onto.

What to Watch For

Searches for MG Unicorn HD Color-specific build feedback (r/Gunpla, YouTube MG Unicorn reviews, Gunpla Wiki) mostly return coverage of the identically-engineered standard MG Unicorn release rather than this HD Color reissue specifically, since the two kits share the same frame and joints and differ mainly in colour and head sculpt. On that shared engineering, builders consistently flag the psycho-frame reveal parts as fiddly to align during the Destroy Mode transformation, and the reworked leg runners (R1/R2) as a genuine improvement over the original hip joints. Nothing rises to a product-wide fault.

Builder Tips: Dry-fit the Destroy Mode armour panels before cementing anything, the alignment is easier to see loose than after the frame is locked together.

Build Notes

Cement and paint are recommended for the full finish, though the kit is snap-fit playable if you skip both. Basic tool kit needed: nippers, hobby knife, cement, panel liner, sanding sticks. Budget several build sessions rather than one sitting given the part count and the MS Cage assembly. Recommended for builders 15 and up given the Skill Level 3 rating.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.3. Basic modeling skills are essential. These kits are not recommended for beginners or children due to the high level of complexity of assembly and the sheer volume of parts. Experience in building more complex Gunpla models is recommended. Parental supervision is essential. A full set of hobby tools is recommended that includes, nippers, hobby knives, sandpaper, sanding sticks, files, buffing files, glues, tweezers, and decal adhesive/softener. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
