- Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
- The upper arms can rotate.
- The elbows and knees are double-jointed.
- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The waist can turn 360 degrees, though it can be slightly hindered by the skirt armor panels.
- The upper thighs can swivel on the hips' ball-and-socket joints, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor.
- Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
- The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The front feet can pivot.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]
- The hands are swappable, though they must share the same dorsal piece.
- Each of the weapons must be wielded by their respective hand parts.
- Beam Sabers can be optionally removed from the thigh units as handheld weapons.
- The shield can be mounted in 2 different positions on the adapter.
- Beam Rifle foregrip can swing left or right.
Tips & Tricks[]
- For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted and 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.
Customizing-based tips[]
- The Magazine-holding open hand from the HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1 (2007) can be used for this kit. (However, the dorsal must be swapped from the normal hand.)
- For extra accuracies, one must buy another kit for the extra head piece to repaint the visor into clear red.
[]
- High Detail Manipulators 152 and 149 can be used for this kit. (Repaint on the dorsals is needed.)
