    • Raise horizontally.

  • Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joints.
  • Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The waist can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction.
  • The hip joint axis can swing frontwards/backwards on one side.
  • The upper thighs are swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armors.
  • The ankles can slightly tilt forwards/backwards, or sideways.
  • The Armed Armor DEs can rotate on a backpack arm.
    • The "tail" stabilizer units are poseable with one ball-joint and three hinge joints.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]

  • The hands are swappable. Only right alternative hand is included.
  • Each of the weapons must be wielded by their own respective hands.
  • The Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons. (Beam Effect parts sold separately.
  • Beam Magnum can mount onto either both sides of the arms or onto the backpack via a flip-out tab.
  • Beam Magnum Magazine can be stored onto the rear waist armor.
  • Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex can mount onto any Action Bases. (Sold separately)

Tips & Tricks[]

  • For better results:
    • Most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
    • The gold parts can be applied with Chrome Gold paint. (Note: Do not paint them while they're on the runners.)
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals.
    • 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.
  • The Gunpla can be built into the original Phenex (sans the tail pieces) by using the included surplus pieces and some extra polycaps.
  • Care must be taken while separating the hand parts: Due to its slightly tight construction, the pin that connects the thumb section can potentially snap off if you separate it with excessive force.

Customizing-based tips[]

  • Front skirt's joint can be optionally separated.
  • The Hyper Bazooka, Beam Saber effect parts and the open hands from the HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) (Repaint required.), the Gundam UC ACE Vol.6 exclusive Hyper Beam Javelin, the Hyper Beam Javelin from the System Weapon 007 can be used for this kit.
  • The clear parts from The Gundam Base exclusive variant can be used to swap the Psycoframe parts (and its polycaps) to recreate the deactivated version of the unit.

B-Club related customizations[]

  • High Detail Manipulator 200 can be used for this kit. (Repaint required.)
