Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

  • The head can swivel on a ball-and-socket neck joint.
  • The torso can tilt frontwards/backwards and/or sideways.
  • The arms can...
    • Swing on a peg-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 rotate.
  • Front and side skirt armors can pivot 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

  • The Beam Rifle can be wielded by either of the hands, though the default position is on the right.
  • Beam Saber hilt can be optionally removed from the backpack as a handheld weapon. (Beam Saber effect from the HGUC ν Gundam sold separately)
  • The shield can only attach onto the left forearm.
  • Fin Funnels and Bazooka from the HGUC ν Gundam (Sold separately) can attach onto this kit.

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.
  • The C-clip elbow and knee joints can loosen over time if excessively posed. This issue can be generally reduced by applying 2-to-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 slightly crack them, further loosening the joints.

Customizing-based tips

  • The open-palm hands from the EG (2020) RX-93ff ν Gundam can be used on this Gunpla.
