Exclusive new clear color Gundam Unicorn model kit will only be sold in one place
Gundam Base Fukuoka has announced an exclusive new Gunpla kit that will soon be available from the store.
The “HG 1/144 Gundam Base Fukuoka Limited Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (Destroy Mode) (Final Battle Specification) Ver. GSF [Clear Color]” is a clear color variant of the popular “Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility” model kit.
Gunpla are model kits based on the iconic “Gundam” anime franchise.
The High Grade (HG) line, introduced in 1990, is known for its 1/144 scale, ease of assembly, and good articulation, making it popular among both beginners and experienced builders.
Gundam Base stores, found in various cities across Japan, serve as central hubs for Gunpla enthusiasts, offering a wide array of kits, building areas, and exclusive merchandise.
The Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility is a special variant of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, a mobile suit featured in the “Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn” OVA (Original Video Animation) series.
It first appeared in the mobile game Gundam Try Age and subsequently featured in a video projected next to the Unicorn Gundam statue in Odaiba, Tokyo.
The Unicorn Gundam is famous for its transformation between “Unicorn Mode” and “Destroy Mode,” where its white armor shifts to reveal a glowing Psycoframe.
The Perfectibility version is a composite of various Armed Armor components, bringing together powerful experimental equipment from other Unicorn-series mobile suits
This particular “Final Battle Specification Ver. GSF” (Gundam Scramble Fukuoka) refers to its appearance in “GUNDAM SCRAMBLE in FUKUOKA,” a projection mapping display that takes place at the Canal City mall in Fukuoka, which depicts Gundams fighting in the streets of the city.
This new HG kit distinguishes itself with a full clear color aesthetic.
While previous clear versions of Gunpla often use transparent red for the Psychoframe, this “Perfectibility” variant features a vivid and deeper shade of clear green for its Psycoframe components.
The main armor parts are rendered in clear red, creating a striking contrast that allows light to pass through, highlighting the intricate internal details and mimicking the mobile suit’s activated state.
The model kit comes equipped with an extensive range of weaponry and equipment, accurately reflecting the Perfectibility’s formidable arsenal.
This includes the Hyper Beam Javelin, a powerful melee and ranged weapon, and various Armed Armor components: the Armed Armor BS (Beam Smart Gun), VN (Vibration Nail), XC (Psycho-field Amplifier), and DE (Defensive Extension).
The Armed Armor BS, in particular, is designed to be either deployed or stored, allowing for dynamic posing and customization options for builders.
The kit is expected to go on sale on August 8th, 2025, and will be priced at 4,400 yen (approx. $30.05 USD / £22.16 GBP).
While the initial release will exclusively be sold at Gundam Base Fukuoka, Bandai Spirits has also indicated that they are considering future sales of this specific product at other Gundam Base stores and various Gundam-related events.
Similar decisions have been made in the past where location-exclusive kits, such as the “HG 1/144 Rising Freedom Gundam [Recirculation Color/Neon Yellow]”, have later received a wider release.
