Kit Features & Gimmicks
Articulation
- The head can swivel/tilt on a double-sided ball-joint neck.
- The torso can tilt frontwards/backwards or sideways.
- The shoulder joints can rotate, or swing frontwards along with 2/3 of the torso blocks.
- The arms can...
- Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
- The upper elbows can turn.
- Both the elbow and knees are double-jointed.
- The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- The wrist joints can pivot.
- The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
- Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
- The hip joint axis is a see-saw type joint, allowing it to pivot up/down on one side.
- The upper thighs can swing frontwards (and backwards in a limited extent due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor) on a peg joint, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
- The ankles can tilt/pivot.
- The front foot parts can pivot.
Weapons & Other Gimmicks
- The hands are swappable.
- The translucent blue pieces can be replaced with the corresponding translucent orange parts to replicate the "assimilation" form of the Build Burning Gundam depicted in the show.
- A pair of flame burst effect parts can be connected to the flame fists to recreate several of the attacks performed by the Build Burning Gundam in the show. A larger flame burst effect part is also provided that can be connected to a single foot at a time.
- Flame extension effect parts are provided in three different lengths for more dynamic displays.
- The flame wheel effect parts can be connected to slots on the backpack. When connected by themselves, the flames are perpendicular to the torso, but a joint connector is also provided to display said effect parts as though the flames are being emitted straight out of the backpack.
- The Build Burning Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases. (Sold separately)
- A backpack adapter is provided to mount backpacks from other HGBF kits to the Build Burning Gundam.
Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, painted details and marking decals.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent and the soft parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
- Although this kit does not come with any handheld weapons, a pair of weapon-holding hands are provided. Thus, if the builder chooses, the model can wield custom-made weapons or those from add-on sets (e.g. HGBC, HGI-BA).
