The arms can...
- Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
The upper elbows can turn.
Elbow joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
Front and waist skirt armors can swing up and down for the leg's clearance.
While the waist can rotate, the torso must be slightly pulled up to fully achieve the 360 degree movement.
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.
Knee joints can be bent into 110 degrees.
The ankles can pivot/tilt.
The shields are attached with a pair of poseable arm units, allowing some articulation.

The Heavy Scythe can be wielded by either or both hands.
Forbidden Gundam can convert into High Speed Assault Mode.
- 2/3 of the torso blocks can rotate upwards along with the backpack.
- The railguns can flip out.
Forbidden Gundam can attach onto any Action Bases via an adapter.

For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
- The Gundam Color for HG Forbidden Gundam can be used to paint this kit. (Airbrush required)
Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals (HD Remastered Version only) and if any, painted details.

HGGS Forbidden Gundam HD Remaster Ver. - The kit was re-released in 2012 to conclude with the HD Remastered version of Gundam SEED, with more accurate colors, decals, and joint adapters for the Action Base.
