Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

  • The head can swivel on a double-sided ball-jointed neck.
  • Shoulder joints can raise upwards.
  • The arms can...
    • Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Elbow joints can be bent up to 110 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can tilt sideways, and back and forth in a limited manner.
  • Front and side skirt armors are poseable to avoid interference with the leg joints.
  • The upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint (though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor), and/or rotate on each piece.
  • The knees are double-jointed.
  • Ankles can tilt sideways (in a mostly limited manner), or frontward on a c-clip connection.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the hands.
  • Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons.
  • The shield can attach onto any of the forearms (default position is on the left) or onto the backpack.
    • The shield's grip can be rearranged for the left hand to hold.

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some or most of the details can be painted and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect painted details and/or marking decals, if any.
  • Despite what the package says about not needing tools to trim off the parts from the runner, using nippers are recommended for a cleaner cut.
  • Exercise caution while posing the upper legs: Due to the hip joint axis' thin piece on the ball joint, posing it roughly causes it to snap off.

Customizing-based tips

  • The Water-slide decals from the "10 Crafting Techniques to Improve Your Gunpla Building (ガンプラが絶対にうまくなる10の制作テクニック)" mook can be applied on this Gunpla.

Notes & Trivia

  • Despite sharing similar appearances, the Beam Javelin and the Gundam Hammer are not reused from the Gundam ACE Magazine exclusive Compatible Weapon Sets A and B.
  • Despite being labeled as a "Full Weapon Set", the kit lacks the Super Napalm for the Beam Rifle.
