    • Raise horizontally.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joints.
  • Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The waist can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction.
  • The hip joint axis can swing frontwards/backwards on one side.
  • The upper thighs are swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armors.
  • The ankles can slightly tilt forwards/backwards, or sideways.

 

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • The right hand is swappable.
  • Each of the weapons must be wielded by their own respective hands.
  • The Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons. (Beam Effect parts sold separately.)
  • Beam Magnum can mount onto either both sides of the arms or onto the backpack via a flip-out tab.
  • Beam Magnum Magazine can be stored onto the rear waist armor.
  • The shield can be mounted onto the backpack via an adapter (A18).
  • Unicorn Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases (sold separately).

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some/most of the details are needed to be applied & panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.
    • If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
  • The Hyper Bazooka, Beam Saber effect parts and the open hands from the HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode), the Gundam UC ACE Vol.6 exclusive Hyper Beam Javelin, the Hyper Beam Javelin from the System Weapon 007 can be used on this Gunpla.
  • Care must be taken while separating the hand parts: Due to its slightly tight construction, the pin that connects the thumb section can potentially snap off if you separate it with excessive force.
  • The clear parts from The Gundam Base exclusive variant can be used to swap the Psycoframe parts (and its polycaps) to recreate the deactivated version of the unit.

Customizing-based tips

  • The protruding support panel on the lower rear area on the knee joints (A23/A24) can be sliced off to allow it to slightly bend down further. This also increases the risk of the body drooping down backwards, so choose wisely.

B-Club related customizations

  • High Detail Manipulator 200 can be used for this kit.
