Question
Is this kit compatible with the LED?
Answer
Yes it is compatible with the led unit for the RX-0 unicorn gundam. As for installation the manual has steps just for the LED kit before adding armor after building the inner frame. Chaaaaaaaaar is also correct about the mane not directly lighting up. The armed armor DE also does not light up.
December 10, 2023
Yes, as the all of the Unicorn PGs (including p-bandai) share the same internal structure, although it likely won't light up the 'mane' since that's technically an external addon. I've seen pictures of both the Unicorn and Banshee with the LED so it definitely works, and the Unicorn's manual has instructions on how to prep for installation so I suspect this one will have something similar

Question
Does this have the clear psycho frame? or is the Orange/Yellow see through enough for the LED to shine through?
Answer
The Psychoframe is a clear orange-yellow. The LEDs from the official set are a cool white and are powerful enough to make it light up, but it doesn't fluoresce as easily as the base Unicorn's pink frame.

Question
Is this compatible with the KOSMOS LED?
Answer
Yes it is. However, you may need to purchase the version specified for this particular kit to ensure a complete set of LEDs for all features.

A lovely (miscolored) lion

The PG unicorn mold is the pinnacle of bandai’s eye candy. Absolutely amazing to look at but to do anything with it comes with a desire to not break it from frustration. The good things about this kit starts with the proportions of the kit being stellar and the PG’s proportions compared to all other renditions of the unicorn easily beats them all, it has passable pose-ability with exceptions(I.e. the ankles, wrist, shoulder to some extent, and the hips), the accessories that come are minimal but very nicely done, and the overall frame and gimmicks associated with it are a real treat for its looks. The bad part of this kit is the issue of it just being solid to “play” with. I use play as in move around, pose, and overall enjoy your $260 plastic bot. Holding the weapons in a neutral pointing-at-the-ground pose is easy to do as it’s the only pose it can do easily with the weapons out of box. The beam magnum is a no go for action poses and the armed armor attachments to the shield make the shield absolutely impossible to pose. The armed armor on the backpack also come with issues as the joints it uses to do it’s transformation gimmick are very prone to pop out if not done extremely slowly and carefully. The shoulders suffer immensely from the weight problems as they lose their friction over time and start to stress which is a horrible thing for a PG. I have to tighten every problem joint to the best I could and even then I have to be careful with posing. Another problem is the shield itself, it’s very nicely executed but the very solid build makes it very tight and man it’s a tight fit. I get scared when I transform it as if I pull to hard the grey plastic holding the lower part of the shield starts to stress. The minor problems I have are plentiful, the color is wrong of course. Instead of a black with a navy blue tint as shown in the mech’s spreadsheet from the show it’s a dark navy blue with no back tint all with a very noticeable mold-warping and nub marks(thankfully most navy blue parts are undergated). The gold parts are a mix bag as the collar, v-fin, and head crest are all painted gold which is a very nice finish but every other gold part is a what looks like mix of solid yellow and injection gold which is a very weird way to go. The “lion’s mane” suffers the most of it as it’s a brilliant bright yellow or gold in most drawings of the Banshee but here looks rather dull. Also the lion’s mane is hollow inside and where the back navy blue piece ends a tiny hollow section for each pointy part of the mane is shown which sucks since you know PG. Last problem is the stickers, whoever at Bandai decided sticker style decals is good for a majority dark model kit deserves to have his food be cold whenever they microwave it. The decals flat out suck and I remedy this issue by buying water slides from newtype of course and they look absolutely good. Here’s a tip if you buy the water slides, go to the website of the brand and type in PG banshee and it should show you a finished model of a PG Final battle ver Unicorn and a example of a finished Banshee. I wish you best of luck to apply the slides. Now overall this model is great, worth $260? Flat out no, Banshee and all the other unicorn PG’s are a choice you make when you have the money, space, and desire to build a model with so many flaws. I have the PG unicorn and had a KO PG phenex and no matter the version the flaws remain constantly. So if you are like me, love the unicorn look and the size of the 1/60 I say yeah get it, but if you are looking for a good build and a good out of box experience DO NOT GET THIS. Better to save to get the PGU granddaddy or any other perfect grade which is affordable with the price of the Banshee.
