  • The waist can rotate, though in an extent unless the torso is slightly pulled up.
  • The front and side skirt armors are poseable for leg clearance.
  • The upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the single-piece rear skirt armor.
  • The ankles can pivot/tilt in an extent.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the hand parts.
  • Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the side waist armors as handheld weapons.

      • Combine with the Front half component.
    • Front Beam Bazooka half can be stored into the shield.
  • The kit can be mounted on the BA-1 Display Stand that came with either the HGUC Physalis or the Gabthley using the provided adapter.

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted and 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.

Variants

Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.

Notes & Trivia

  • This kit is from Harmony of Gundam, a collaboration design series by Sunrise, Bandai, Banpresto, and Namco Bandai.
  • This was one of the few Gunplas to have a molded ABS V-fin.
  • This was one of the HGUC kits that uses almost no Polycap joints.
  • As a leftover from its base mold, the kit comes with a display stand adapter for the HGUC GP01 or HGUC GP01-Fb, though this is not featured in the instruction manual.
