Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Company HOBBY Division recently exhibited the latest limited Gunpla product "RG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 Banshee Norn (Final Battle Specification) [Special Coating]" prototype. The product is expected to be sold exclusively in the future on Bandai's official online store, PREMIUM BANDAI.
RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 "Banshee" was developed in a gravity environment based on feedback from Unit 01's spatial maneuverability. Its basic performance does not differ significantly from Unit 01, but it possesses various psycho-frame specialized armaments, "Armed Armor." In the anime version, the Banshee further evolved into a completely new form, the "Norn" type, with comprehensively enhanced armaments and performance. The "Armed Armor XC" mounted on its back not only serves as an additional generator but also links with the head antenna to enhance its ability to send and receive psycho-waves, allowing even Lieutenant Riddhe, who has lower Newtype abilities, to receive psycho-waves.
The "RG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 Banshee Norn (Final Battle Specification) [Special Coating]" is based on the regular version previously released as a PB Limited item. It similarly features a striking clear green psycho-frame and precisely recreates the transformation mechanism from Unicorn Mode to Destroy Mode at 1/144 scale. All armor parts on the entire unit have been upgraded to a luxurious specification with electroplating and painting, transforming the original monotonous plastic molded color into a metallic texture that reflects blue light.
