Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

• The head can swivel/tilt on a single ball-joint/L-shape neck.
• The torso can slightly tilt back and forth via a ball-and-socket waist.
• Shoulder joints can swing forwards and backwards.
• The arms can...
  • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally/upwards.
• The upper elbows can turn.
• The elbow joints can be bent up to 150 degrees.
• The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
• Side skirt armors can pivot up or down.
• Due to the unique jointing used for the transformation gimmick, the upper thighs can swing frontwards (and backwards in some extent), raise horizontally in a greater extent, and/or rotate on each piece.
• The ankle can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, or tilt frontwards.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The hands are swappable, though they must share the same dorsal parts.
• Each of the weapons must be wielded by their respective hands.
• Gundam Astray Mirage Frame 2nd Issue can convert between Tyrant or Brute modes.
• Beam Sabers can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons.
  • The effect parts can install onto either the Beam Saber hilts, or the Brute Head unit to form Saber Fangs.
• Beam Rifle's foregrip can swing left or right.
• The shield can mount onto...
  • Any of the forearms, though the default position is on the left.
  • Either of the adapter's two pegs depending on your preference.
    • The shield can rotate on the adapter's pegs.
• "Amenohabakiri" Katana can be unsheathed from/sheathed into the scabbard.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, most or some of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
  • The Beam Rifle must be fully painted with gray for accuracy.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers, marking decals and if any, painted details.
• The kit can be built into Mirage Frame 3rd Issue by using some parts from the 1/100 Gundam Astray Mirage Frame: the rear-half of the "Gladiator Mode" head piece, the B (Bracelet) Swords and the Feet parts/A (Anklet) Swords.

B-Club related customizations

• High Detail Manipulator (DX Pack) 59 can be used for this kit.
