    • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
    • The hip joint axis can swing down for better clearance for the leg articulation.
    • The upper thighs can swing frontwards/backwards on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece,
    • The ankles can pivot/tilt in an extent.
    • The wings are jointed, allowing some articulation.
  • Weapons/Other Gimmicks
    • The hands are swappable.
    • The Beam Sword can be wielded by either of the hand parts.
    • Gundam Epyon can convert from MS form into MA form and vice versa via minor parts rearrangement.
      • The wings can expand in MA form.
      • The "horns" and the lower "jaws" on each feet can flip out/opened.
    • Epyon Shield can mount onto any forearms, though the default position is on the left.
      • Head Rod can be built into either storage or deployed forms.
        • The deployed Heat Rod is poseable.
    • Beam Sword can connect with the power cord and the main connector.
      • The main connector can mount onto either of the waist armor, though the default position is on the right.
    • Gundam Epyon can mount onto most Action Bases with one of the two adapters depending on which form you're displaying.
  • 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.
  • Notes & Trivia
    • This Gunpla is first revealed at the HOBBY NEXT PHASE 2023 SPRING site.
    • Prior to its eventual production and release in 2023, A census at Gundam.info was posted on the 24th to 30th May, 2021, where the fans determine on which of the next units will be recreated as the next Real Grade Gundam Wing-based unit after the release of the RG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam kit, with Epyon winning 1st place with 46.8% of the votes with Deathscythe Hell (TV) being 2nd place with 15.5%.
