RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode)
Review by: archaznable

Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) is an awesome alternate mode of the normal Unicorn Gundam. In Destroy Mode you will see clearly all the strategically placed opened hatch red lines. You will really see a difference between the normal and destroy mode because in normal mode you will only see the plain white Unicorn Gundam.

Apart from its beautifully detailed lines on destroy mode it also really packs a kick ass weapons. I really like the detail of the twin gatling gun. The twin gatling gun can be separated and can make a pose ala John Woo style of pointing a two gun in yo face. Also the twin gatling gun can be attached on the shield it self making it really look bad ass.

The only thing that frustrates me is that there are lots of small parts on this one. For example the little tiny square thing that you can attach on the back pack that acts as a shield holder is really small. When I was about to put that small tiny part on the back pack it pops out and I loose it. I was so frustrated at that time because I didn’t have a chance to take some pic with it. And sadly I couldn’t find it any longer. Thankfully I have one spare that came in with the Unicorn normal mode and can attach it succesfully on Destroy mode. Gawd I really hate small parts.

Articulation with the Unicorn Gundam (Destroy and Normal) is good it can do some normal poses. It can do kneeling position the only thing that it doesn’t have is its waist articulation. The waist is somewhat like a stuck body part that it couldn’t move an inch. I wish every mobile suit has a waist articulation.

The Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) gimmick lies within it’s twin gatling gun and some hidden beam saber holder on its arms. Also I’ve seen some one who already posted that a single Unicorn Gundam carries 4 Gatling guns where as you needed to buy another set of Unicorn Gundam (Destroy mode) to achieve it. I know it will look cool with 4 Gatling on it but it’s really way over my budget plus I only need one Unicorn Gundam.

The Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) come with the following weapons and accesories:

Twin Gatling gun
Bazooka
Beam Rifle
Two extra clips for the beam rifle
Shield
Extra V fin

One holder for the gatling gun that will be placed in the middle of the gattling gun so that you can attached it on the shoulder.
Two hand trigger that you can attached on the gattling gun in separate mode. Two extra beam saber handler one then two beam sabers. One shield clip that you can attached on the shoulder to carry the shield. And last but not the least 4 pairs of hand.

Over all this is a solid version of Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) just be careful with the small part or you might loose it. The only thing that frustrates me is that when I was trying put the single gatling gun on to its hand it falls easily because the hand grip is really thin. So when I was doing some of its poses the single gatling gun falls off.

In conclusion this is a really good fig the Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) is fun to play with. It’s much cooler if you have the normal mode so that you can make a pose of it side by side. This is a recommended fig if you are a fan of the Unicorn. I’m a fan of the OVA and I can’t wait to see the next episode of Unicorn OVA. I will give the RD Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) a 3.5 / 5

Thanks for reading see yah on the next review ciao…

Robot Damashii AMS-129 Geara Zulu
Review by: archaznable

AMS-129 Geara Zulu is from the Unicorn Gundam OVA this is I guess a beef up Zaku or should I call it the most advanced Zaku II class in the Universal Century era. Zulu and Zaku share the same design and weaponry resemblance with each other. From head to toe, from the shoulder armor to the whole body armor.

What I really like about the Geara Zulu is it’s dark green color and black it’s a really good combination color with a stash of white for details. Geara Zulu is a grunt unit like its Zaku II predecessor. The design really reminds me of a Nazi soldier look (world war 2).

Hence even it’s weapon design really resemble that of a Nazi era weaponry like the Panzer Faust (modern day RPG Rocket Propelled Grenade) an anti-tank that a lone soldier can carry it easily. Stick Grenade or popularly known as the “Potato Masher” a grenade type that was used by the Wehrmacht. The machine gun that Geara Zulu used resemble that of an StG44 sub machine gun.

Well enough of the facts and comparison lets take a look at the articulation of Geara Zulu. The articulation of Geara Zulu was nice it can do a lot of basic poses. The only pose that it can’t do is to split its legs apart. Or you can’t raise the arm up really because the shoulder armors are blocking the way. Another is that you can’t rotate the body to its full 360 degrees you can only rotate the body just 1/4 of it.

Coolness factor of Geara Zulu is really awesome and up the scale I really love how they carry there weapons on the back. And how compact it really was. The weapons that Geara Zulu that can carry on its back are Beam Tomahawk, Panzerfaust, and two stick grenades. Also there are a hand full of magazine clips up on its front skirt armor.

Front and side skirt armor are also articulated you can move the front skirt armor up to make way for the legs to make a kneeling pose. Also you can move the side skirt armor to make way to split the legs just a little bit apart.

The Geara Zulu weapons and accessories includes are the Beam machine gun rifle, stick 2x grenade, a rocket propelled grenade, and a 2x beam tomahawk. Plus it has an assorted hands and a plain front skirt armor which you can swap it with a front skirt armor that has full of magazine clips.

Over all Geara Zulu is a kick ass Robot Damashii fig you will be awe struck by its awesome array of assorted weaponry and a handsome looks. If you wanted to have an MS grunt unit that has a lot of weapons on it then this is the one for you. I’ll gonna give this one 4/5
