Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

• The head can pivot on a c-clip joint, or swivel on a lower ball-and-socket neck joint.
• The torso can tilt back and forth or sideways, albeit very slightly.
• The shoulder joints can swing frontwards or raise upwards.
• The arms can...
  • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally. (The shoulder armors can pivot to provide clearance.)
• The upper arms can rotate.
• Both the elbow and knees are double-jointed.
• The manipulators...
  • Can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • Feature fully-articulated fingers on the poseable hands.
• The waist can rotate in a very limited extent.
• The hip joint axis can also slide frontwards for a better leg articulation clearance.
• The upper thighs can swing frontwards/backwards on a peg-and-socket joint, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
  • The front, side, and rear skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference.
• The ankles can pivot/tilt in a limited extent.
• The back thrusters are jointed, allowing some articulation.
  • The leg thrusters can also swing on a joint.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• Torso hatch can be optionally opened to reveal inner cockpit details.
• The right hand is swappable.
• Any of the weapons can be wielded by the poseable hands.
  • The additional solid right trigger-finger hand can be used for additional stability to the High Beam Rifle/Bazooka combo.
  • Each poseable palm features a molded tab for gripping stability.
• High Beam Rifle can combine with either the Grenade Launcher or the Bazooka.
• The bazooka can mount onto the rear waist armor (some parts like the scope is needed to be removed first) for storage via the flip-out connector peg.
• The shield can mount onto any forearms, though the default position is on the left.
• Beam Sabers can optionally detach from the forearms as handheld weapons, or rearrange into an arm-mounted weapon.
• Sinanju Stein can mount onto Action Bases 1 or 4 via an adapter.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied 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.
  • 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.

Notes & Trivia

• While the kit comes with leftover Full Frontal figurines, the Gunpla does not come with a newly-molded Zoltan Akkanen figurine.
