  • Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally.

• Both the elbow and knees are double-jointed.
• The claw-like manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
• Front and side skirt armors can lift up to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
• The hip joint axis can swing frontward/backwards.

• The ankles can pivot frontward, or swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The right hand is swappable.
• The ranged weapons can only be wielded by the extra right hand.
• Firepower Test Type's cannons can pivot up and down.
• The shield can attach onto any forearms, though the default position is on the left.
• Guncannon Mobility Test Type/Firepower Test Type can attach onto the included display stand (or onto any Action Bases)

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.
  • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

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.
