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.
• 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.
• Front and side skirt armors are poseable to avoid interference with the leg joints.
• The knees are double-jointed.
• Ankles can tilt sideways (in a mostly limited manner), or frontward on a c-clip connection.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The Beam Rifle can be wielded by either of the hands, though the default position is on the right.
• Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons. (Beam Saber effects sold separately)
• The Beam Rifle scope can swing left or right.
• 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.
• The Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases. (sold separately.)

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.
• As the hands were designed for a tighter grip for unpainted weapon parts, care must be taken to those who wanted to paint the said weapons, as a few thin layers can be scratched off while sliding onto the hands.
• The C-clip elbow and knee joints can loosen over time if excessively posed. This issue can be reduced (but not eliminating it) by applying 2-3 thin layers of super glue liquid on both sides of the C-shaped joint's middle thin panel. While this method can also be (optionally) applied at the inner sections of the "C"-shaped area, adding more than 1 thin layer can potentially increase stress marks and further loosen the joints.

Customizing-based tips

• The Beam Saber effect parts from the SB-13 runner can be used on the kit's Beam Saber Hilts.
• The Hyper Bazooka from the EG Gundam G-3 (Solid Clear) can be used on this Gunpla.
• 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.
