Articulation:

• The head can rotate, tilt, and move up/down.
• The upper torso can lean slightly forward and sideways.
• The shoulder joints can move forward.
• The arms can rotate and lift horizontally.
• The upper arms can rotate below the shoulder.
• The elbows and knees can bend to about 165 degrees.
• The manipulators can rotate at the ball joint and have 3+1+1 articulation on each finger.
• The waist can rotate (only 90 degrees to prevent damage to the LED belts).
• The front, side, and rear skirt armors are movable thanks to ball joints to avoid interference with leg articulation.
• The upper thigh joints can move forward/backward, lift horizontally, and/or rotate on each element.
• The ankles can bend forward/backward and tilt sideways.

Weapons and other mechanisms:

• The hands are interchangeable.
• Each weapon can be held by hands with emotion manipulators. (For ranged weapons, hands with trigger fingers should be used for grip stability).
• The Unicorn Gundam can transform between Unicorn and Destroy mode.
• The cockpit hatch can be opened/closed.
• The Beam Magnum can be held in either hand. An additional grip can be deployed to hold the weapon with both hands.
• The Beam Magnum can be stored on the forearm or on the backpack.
• The magazine can be detached.
• Three magazines can be connected to form one high-capacity magazine.
• The Hyper Bazooka can be held in either hand.
• The Hyper Bazooka can be stored on the backpack.
• The magazine can be detached. A different rear part will be required when displaying the Bazooka without the magazine.
• The Beam Saber can be held in either hand.
• Alternatively, beam effect parts can be attached to the handle on the forearm, creating Beam Tonfas.
• The shield can be attached to either forearm. This requires part swapping to connect the shield's light guide mechanism to the main body.
• The shield can transform between Unicorn and Destroy mode to match the MS.
• A pair of Beam Gatling Guns can be attached to the shield before it is connected to the forearm.
• The model can be mounted on the provided display base. This is required if the builder wants to use the lighting mechanism.
• The angle and height of the support arm can be adjusted to accommodate aerial poses.
• The MS Cage and individual stands for the shield/Gatling Gun can be attached/detached from the display base.
• The Beam Magnum and Hyper Bazooka can be stored on the display base.
• Beam Saber effect parts can be stored under the base when not in use.
• The MS Cage has a box for storing small parts (e.g., figures, additional weapon grips) that are not in use.
• Any combination of shield/Gatling Gun can be mounted on dedicated stands. All can be connected together using the provided connecting part.
• They can be attached to the back of the base in storage mode. The wiring for each is connected on a spool. It can be unwound, allowing various positions for each stand.
• The stands can be attached together. This configuration is used to mount three shield/Gatling Gun constructions when connected.

Lighting mechanism:

The lighting mechanism can be activated in a cycle:

• First press - The eyes and head camera light up.
• Second press - The psycho-frame glows pink.
• Third press - The psycho-frame changes color to green. After a few seconds in this lighting mode, a pulsing effect activates.
• Fourth press - The lighting cycles through the previous modes in order, then turns off.
• If the shield is connected to the forearm, the psycho-frame on the shield also lights up.
• The same applies when the shields are connected using stands.

Note: The lighting mechanism requires 3 AA batteries (sold separately).

Gunpla is an abbreviation of GUNdamPLAstic model. Models do not require glue or (mostly) painting. They are based on the Japanese series - Gundam - which debuted in Japan in 1979 and featured giant combat robots reaching heights of up to 18 meters, piloted by humans.

Assembly kit. To assemble, modeling nippers (for cutting model parts from frames) are needed, which are not included in the set. It is also advisable to equip yourself with a modeling knife (or a utility knife). The photo shows a professionally assembled model.
