Build / Difficulty
(Score: +1)
Good: Very easy build, big chunk of plastics and snap build concept. So not much to worry on nubs. Comes with 2 part separators. Also comes with instructions for beginners.
Bad: Some parts doesn't snap cleanly. I still use nippers to separate the parts from the runner. Some cleaning is needed.
Difficulty: Very Easy
Panel Line: Average. Some areas are quite hard to panel line. But the obvious ones are easy to work with.
Decals: This is tricky. A kit aims at beginners comes with water slide. Some markings are small to work with and somehow doesn't stick that well.
Looks / Details
(Score: +2)
Good: Unicorn always looks great. An over sized one looks awesome. Doesn't lack of any details at all.
Bad: Only in destroy mode. But who cares about white unicorn mode at this size?
Accessories
(Score: Neutral)
You get: 1 beam magnum and 1 shield. Nothing fancy compared to graded kits like gun magazines or any transformation.
Articulation / Pose ability
(Score: -1)
Good: Can do all the regular pose with no problem.
Bad: Articulation is not the strong point. But any pose that makes this kit less tall or need some kind of action base (if there is one) can be neglected cause what's the point getting an oversized unicorn to make it look less big?
Shelf presence
(Score: +3)
Good: Definitely a god to put this alongside your other collections. Makes even PG looks like a dwarf. Bonus point for the sheer size.
Bad: Not much pose is possible and you'll have a display space problem.
Bonus
(Score: Neutral)
Not much to add.

This is perfect for beginners. But price tag might be a bit steep. Never pass this if it's on offer. Easy, stress free build with big payouts.
