Articulation[]

- Raise horizontally.
- The upper arms can rotate.
- Elbow joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The waist can turn, though it's mostly restricted by the skirt armor panels.
- Front skirt armors, sideway and rear DRAGOON pods can pivot/flip up to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
- The upper thighs can swivel on the hips' ball-and-socket joints, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor.
- The knees are double-jointed.
- The ankles can pivot back and forth/tilt sideways in a rather limited manner.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]
- The Beam Rifle can be wielded by either of the hands, though the default position is the right hand as the left arm is mounted with the Composite Armed Shield System.
- The Beam Rifle's foregrip can swing left or right.
- The DRAGOON Pods can be optionally detached from the backpack for individual display.
- The small DRAGOON Pods on the backpack and the waist can flip frontwards when attached.
- The Composite Armed Shield System can mount onto/detach from the left forearm.
- Beam Saber effect can optionally attach onto it.
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.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
Variants[]
- Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.
