The upper arms can rotate.
Both the elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
Though tampered by the fixed side and waist armors, the upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The front skirt armors can swing up to provide clearance for the legs' frontwards articulation.
The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, though in an extent.

The hands are swappable.
Each of the weapons must be wielded by their respective hand parts.
One of the Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed if one prefers to display it with the Beam Saber.
The Beam Rifle's scope can tilt left or right.
The Hyper Bazooka's handle can pivot.
- The Hyper Bazooka can also store onto the rear waist armor via an adapter.
The RX-78-2 Gundam can mount onto the included display stand.
- The Display stand's arm can store underneath the base.

For better results, some of the details are needed to be panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect pre-applied decals.
All of the runners are molded in white PS plastic, and the parts molded on the runners are pre-painted. Trimming off the painted parts from the runner may leave some white plastic marks, but it can be amended with Gundam Markers.
Due to its size, the upside-down V-mouth can sometimes be messily detailed, so you need to (professionally) redo it by hand.
