The code on the GN Condensers can be stickered with either Virtue or Nadleeh's model number and name. (NOTE: This is a one-way option, so choose wisely)

The head can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The upper torso can pivot back and forth/tilt left or right, though it can be hindered by the armor parts.
- 2/3 of the torso blocks can slide along with the shoulder articulation (slightly when mounted with the armor parts).
Shoulder joints can...
- Pull out and raise upwards (slightly when mounted with the armor parts)
- Swing frontwards.
The arms can...
- Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
The upper arms can rotate.
The elbows and knees are double-jointed.
- When mounted with Virtue's armor, they can only be bent up to 110/100 degrees.
The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
Virtue's Front, Side, and rear skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
The hip joint axis can swing up or down.
The upper thighs can swing frontward/backwards on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each thigh.
Ankle joints can pivot back and forth/tilt left or right.
The toes on each foot are poseable.
Clavicle antennas can flip up and down on each piece.

The cockpit hatch on each of the kit's forms can be opened to reveal pilot figurine.
The index-to-pinky fingers are swappable.
Any of the weapons can be wielded by the hand parts, though it depends on which finger digits you're using, and which of the two units you're displaying.
Gundam Virtue can be interchanged into Gundam Nadleeh via parts swapping and vice versa.
The panels on the legs' GN Condensers & the GN Cannons can be slide out to form GN Field mode.
The GN Cannons can be:
- Rearranged into firing mode when attached to the backpack.
- Detached as handheld cannons with the handles flipped down and the cannon muzzles extended.
The GN Bazooka can be wielded vertically, or horizontally on both sides via minor parts swapping on the vertical handle.
- GN Bazooka can be rearranged to form Burst Mode, and it can be docked with the chest's GN Condenser (with the upper and lower chest panels flipped out)
GN Beam Sabers can be optionally detached from Nadleeh's legs as handheld weapons.
The GN Beam Rifle can be wielded by/mount onto any of the Nadleeh's hands/forearms, though the default position is on the right.
- The Beam Blade can mount onto the GN Beam Rifle.
The GN Shield can only mount onto the Nadleeh's left forearm.
The GN Condenser in the chest area can light-up with an LED Unit. (Sold separately)
Gundam Virtue/Nadleeh can mount onto Action Bases 1 or 4 (sold separately) via an adapter.

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

Italicized items are exclusives.

Reissues of the kit from mid-2022 onward will feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.

This Gunpla is first revealed at the Gundam EXPO 2020 Tokyo feat. G-Conference.
Due to design limitations as the kit focuses on recreating the armor removal feature, the red straps on Nadleeh's upper head is also present when mounted with the Virtue armor.
One of the Tieria figurines is based on his crossdressing appearance in "Twistedness of Innocence"
