- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, though it can be hindered by the forearm's panel.
- The waist can rotate.
- Side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the backwards leg articulation.
- The upper thighs can swing frontwards (and backwards in a limited extent due to the non-poseable skirt armor) on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
- The knees are double-jointed.
- The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, or pivot on the feet section.

- DODS Rifle can also mount onto the back of the Clanche via minor parts rearrangement.
- Clanche can convert into Flight Mode via minor parts rearrangement on the front end of the forearms and the back panel.
- Clanche's Flight Mode can attach with the landing gears along with the knee and front crotch panels.
- Clanche (is MS or Flight Mode) can attach onto the included display stand (or any Action Bases).
- The extra hand parts can store underneath the stand. (Only 2 pieces can be placed.)
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.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
Variants[]
