Kit Features & Gimmicks[]

Articulation[]

  • The head can swivel/tilt on a double-sided ball-jointed neck.
  • The torso can slightly tilt backwards/frontwards.
  • The shoulder joints can raise upwards and/or slightly swing frontwards/backwards.
  • The arms can...
    • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally. (The two panel fins on the shoulder armor can pivot to provide clearance.)
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Both the elbow and knees are double-jointed.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
  • Front, side, and rear skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The hip joint axis can swing frontward/backward on one side.
  • The upper thighs can swing frontward/backwards, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
  • The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint. (The feet must convert into grounding mode first.)

Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]

  • The left hand is swappable.
  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the default hand parts.
  • The forearm panels can be removed (rotate if one chooses) to reveal Beam Saber hilts, and each piece can be taken off from the panels as handheld weapons.
    • Though undocumented, the Beam Saber effect can directly install onto the panels to form In-Shield Beam Sabers.
  • Gundam AGE-3 Orbital can separate and convert into Core Fighter and/or G-Viper via minor parts rearrangement.
    • An alternate torso/cockpit piece can be used to swap with the MS Mode's part.
  • SigMaxiss Long Cannon can convert into storage mode for the G-Viper, or mount onto AGE-3 Orbital's rear skirt armor.
  • The panel underneath the hip joint can be removed to reveal a port for the included display stand (or any Action Bases), where the Gundam AGE-3 Orbital (or its Core Fighter and/or G-Viper components) can mount onto.
    • The display stand's arms must be adjusted by removing and reattaching.
    • The extra hand parts can store underneath the display stand.

Tips & Tricks[]

  • For better results, some/most of the details are needed to 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 2019 onwards will bear the blue Bandai Spirits logo.
