• Shoulder joints can raise upwards.
  • 2/3 of the torso blocks can swing backwards in an extent.
• The shoulders can...
  • Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally. (The shoulder armors are jointed to avoid interference with the arm's articulation.)
• The upper arms can rotate.
• Arms and Legs feature double-jointed elbow/knee parts.
• The right regular manipulator can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate via a ball-and-socket joint, though hindered by the movement pipes.
• Front and side skirt armors are poseable (though slightly) to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
• The hip joint axis can swing forwards (for extra articulation) and backwards.
• The upper thigh joints can swing frontwards (and backwards in a limited extent) on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each thigh.
• The ankle joints can tilt frontwards, or sideways in a limited manner.
• Front foot pieces can slightly tilt.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• Right arm can swap with either Heat Whip arm or MW-01 Manipulator arm.
  • The hand is swappable.
• While the right forearm is in Heat Whip arm mode, the weapon can be swapped into attack mode.
• Heat Hawk (storing) can be mounted on both sides of the waist armor, or into the shield.
• Gouf can mount onto most of the Action Bases via an adapter.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted and panel-lined with Gundam markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
