    • Feature 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
    • Can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can rotate, though it can be hindered by a few skirt armor parts depending on how you pose.
  • Front, side, and rear skirt armors are poseable to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The hip joint frame can tilt frontward.
  • The upper thighs can swing frontwards/backwards on a peg-and-socket joint, raise horizontally and/or rotate on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The ankles can tilt/pivot.
  • When mounted on the backpack's ball-and-socket joints, the Beam Saber hilts can be posed to provided clearance for the Hyper Bazooka.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • The hands are swappable.
  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the poseable hands.
    • The Weapons feature molded/flip-out tabs for gripping stability.
  • Core Fighter or Core Block can dock with the Gundam.
  • Leg & arm armor pieces can slide out when the joints are bent.
  • The Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the backpack as handheld weapons.
    • Alternatively, the Gundam can use the extra hilts with molded tabs for better gripping stability.
  • The shield's joint can slide up and down. 
    • The shield's grip can flip out for the poseable left hand to hold. 
  • Beam Rifle & Hyper Bazooka can be wielded securely with the flip-out tabs.
  • Beam Rifle's scope and foregrip can tilt left or right.
  • Hyper Bazooka's trigger grip can tilt frontwards or backwards.
    • Bazooka can mount onto the rear skirt armor via a built-in latch.
  • Gundam can be displayed with any Action Bases (Sold separately) via an adapter.

Tips & Tricks

  • 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 applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
    • 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.
  • Take note that the shoulder's socket joint and the shoulder armor's joint must be thoroughly snapped to complete the assembly. 
  • Care must be taken on the weapon's tabs: the pivoting wrist joint on the poseable manipulators (which also doubles as a peg socket) can make the weapons pop off from it if not attached properly.
