- Shoulder joints and 2/3 of the torso blocks can swing forward for extra frontwards articulation.
- The shoulders can...
- Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally. (The shoulder shield and armors are jointed to avoid interference with the arm's articulation.)
- The upper arms can rotate.
- Arms and Legs feature double-jointed elbow/knee parts.
- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The waist can rotate via a ball-and-socket joint.
- Front and side skirt armors are poseable (though slightly) to avoid interference with the leg articulation.

- The upper thigh joints can swing frontwards (and backwards in a limited extent) on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each thigh.
- The ankle joints can tilt frontwards, or sideways in a limited manner.
- Front foot pieces can tilt.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]
- The hands are swappable.
- Each of the weapons must be wielded by their own respective hands.
- Cannon can pivot up and down.
- The Big Guns are jointed, allowing some articulation.
- Heat Hawk (storing) can mount on both sides of the waist armor.
- Zaku Cannon can mount onto most of the Action Bases via an adapter.
Tips & Tricks[]
- For better results, some or most 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/marking decals and if any, painted details.

- Bazooka accessories from HGGTO Char's Zaku II, System Weapon 009 or from HGGTO Black Tri-Stars Zaku I can be used for this kit.
