Күн бұрынHere's the Master-Grade 1/100 scale Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee. This original novel version of the Banshee may not have the cool additions of the Armed Armor, but it still makes for a great MG. And you gotta love those gold waterslide decals!

I like the part where you mentioned that this is more of a "model kit" than a "toy". For a MG, this has a tremendous amount of detail and is an amazing looking display piece. Also, the amount of parts you get for the money makes it a great value. As a modeler who cares more about how a kit looks rather than articulation, I feel you explained those two customer demographics well. Thanks for the great review as always.

TBH, I think the articulation is already good enough, I mean, when you watch the series, most of it's poses are aerial pose, that means you need good lighting and right angle to make it looks cool
