Release Date: March 2018
Price: 5,400 Yen
Ver. Ka features the novel version of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee! This time with its initial orange colored psycho-frame.
Premium Bandai final battle green psycho-frame version was also released back in 2013.
The real question is: Why?
ReplyDeleteReally Bandai? No claw and beam gun? Without those, Banshee isn't Banshee anymore
ReplyDeleteCalling it now, it's gonna be the poorest-sold kit of the year.
ReplyDeleteI think they should have made this a pbandai just like the original MG Banshee Ver.ka with green psycho frame (late 2012). I think it's unnecessary to mass produce this kit when 2012's Banshee has the same accessories, plus the railgun and the claw, but minus the beam magnum. I think in general, if you are a fan of Gundam Unicorn and build MGs, you'd probably already bought a variant of the Banshee since it's release in 2012.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this released as a P-Bandai ages ago?
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ this is not even milking anymore. The cow is dead, this is salvaging the cow's corpse to see which part is edible.
ReplyDeletebanshee??? really bandai??!
ReplyDeleteNothing to see here folks, just another remold of a not so good model kit
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Revive Zaku II and GM Bandai? It's Christmas, give some good news for once. Instead get another one of these overrated and overdone Unicorns.
ReplyDeleteHang on, retail?
ReplyDeleteThis is what I think P-Bandai should be fore tbh but whatever floats Bandai's boat I guess.
Yeah!
ReplyDeleteWHY???
And second question is: it will be better than old ver.ka or not?
ReplyDeleteso this doesnt come with the claw ?? That's stupid
ReplyDelete...OK. I like it, but... ok. This is better than the anime version in my opinion, but it could have been p-bandai and i'll be fine with it
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point? The MG Banshee(OVA Version) already came with a beam magnum and shield (you'll have to find the MG Unicorn(OVA Version) instruction manual to build it. They're spare parts)
ReplyDeleteI guess this is Bandai's way of saying we're not getting a Unicorn 2.0
ReplyDeleteAre people really complaining about a retail release not being P-Bandai?!
ReplyDeleteThe only good thing from this version? The gold v fin and mask is actually GOLD PLATED. Not some crapy gold plastic.
ReplyDeleteWay wrong choice Bandai
ReplyDeleteWould I be naive in hoping that they fix the flimsy inner frame (especially the legs, and general all around transformation mode). Because I have the OVA version, loved the looks of Banshee, but disliked the flimsiness of it. Hopefully this one has better build
ReplyDeleteThey should have fixed the flimsiness from the OVA version, right? Was I being too naive? if they do, I would consider to buy it to replace my OVA ver. Just because I love banshee
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the difference between this and the old release of the Banshee? Didn’t it also have the standard orange frame and the arm parts?
ReplyDeleteWait, this isn't P-Bandai? WTF?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of this? This is pretty dumb. They could have made an MG Kshatriya instead.
ReplyDeleteNo railgun/claw makes this Gunpla Fan sad. :(
ReplyDeleteAre you people serious? Back when the banshee Norn was a P-Bandai everyone was annoyed but now that we've got essentially the same release as a non P-Bandai you're all whining that it's pointless...
ReplyDeleteWhy? Just why? The MG Unicorn mode was very flimsy from the beginning and every Gunpla fan has been begging for a MG 2.0 when the RG came out. Instead you just release a P-Bandai Unicorn variant and give it orange psycoframe. One of the laziest kits Bandai has put out for retail release next to the Tristan.
ReplyDeletei do see another difference besides the chest, the dark blue v fin crest in the ova is gold in the novel, but i also recall the novel version had a purple chin as opposed to the ova's orange
ReplyDeleteIsn't it's time for a revived Unicorn kits in HG and MG?
ReplyDeleteLooking at the RG banshee norn now that it's released, it actually has the extra parts to make this.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the RG banshee norn now that it's released, it actually has the extra parts required to make this :o
