Articulation

• The head can swivel/pivot back on a ball-and-socket/hinge joint.
• The shoulder joints can swing frontwards/backwards (in a limited extent) or raise upwards.
• The arms can...
  • Swing on a peg-and-socket joint.
  • Raise horizontally.
• The upper elbows can turn.
• Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
• The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate on a ball-and-socket joint.
• Front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
• The upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable skirt armor.
• The ankles can pivot/tilt.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The hands are swappable.
• Each of the weapons can be wielded by their respective hand parts.
  • The weapon-holding palms and weapon hilts (sans the Beam Saber) feature molded tabs and tab-holes for stable handling.
• Spare Beam Saber can be optionally removed from the left forearm as a handheld weapon.
• Large Beam Saber can be optionally removed from the backpack as a handheld weapon.
• Fin Funnels (Standby mode) can be optionally mounted onto the backpack.
  • Each of the Fin Funnels can be removed individually and convert into attack modes, or reattach them via their flip-out locks.
  • The right Fin Funnel holder can replace with the backpack's Beam Saber holster to recreate the Double Fin Funnel type if one buys another HGUC ν Gundam. 
• Shield can mount onto...
  • Any of the two forearms, though the left one is the default position.
  • Either of the two hooks on the adapter.
• ν (Nu) Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases (sold separately) by removing the panel for the 3mm hardpoint on the kit's lower crotch.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied 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.
• Care must be taken while painting the ABS joints: Using enamel paint or excessive lacquer paint layer can damage the plastic.

Customizing-based tips

• If one chooses, the Fin Funnels can be combined into one ring if the buyer can purchase multiple copies. (At least 98 pieces of the funnels)

B-Club related customizations

• The 1/144 c.o.v.e.r-kit for HGUC ν Gundam can be used to upgrade this kit.
