Kit Features & Gimmicks[]
Articulation[]
- The head can only swivel sideways on a double-sided ball-and-socket neck joint.
- Mono-eye can move left or right via a switch underneath the head.
- Due to the waist articulation being restricted by movement pipes, the torso can only slightly tilt back and forth/sideways.
- Shoulder joints can swing frontwards.
- The arms can...
- Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
- The shoulder armors can raise up to avoid interference with the horizontal arm articulation.
- The upper arms can rotate.
- Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Front and side skirt armors can pivot (albeit in a limited extent) to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
- The wings on the lower side waist armor can flip up.
- The hip joint axis can swing forwards/backwards on one side.
- The upper thigh joints can swing frontwards (and backwards in some extent due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor) on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
- The ankles can tilt frontwards, though it can barely tilt sideways due to the lower leg panels.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]
- The hands are swappable.
- Any of the weapons can be wielded by the default hands, though the Gatling Gun can only be wielded by the left hand.
- The shoulder sockets features a locking mechanism, allowing the Gouf Flight Type to keep its upwards arm in place.
- Heat Sword and/or Gatling Gun can remove from/attach onto the shield.
- Gouf Flight Type can mount onto any Action Bases. (sold separately)
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 and if any, marking decals and painted details.
