Blue Destiny Unit 1 can be built with either normal or 2015 Manga adaptation head parts.

The head can swivel/pivot on a single ball-joint/hinge neck.
Torso can tilt back and forth in a limited manner.
Shoulder joints can raise upwards.
The arms can...
- Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
- Raise horizontally.
The upper elbows can turn.
The elbows and knees are double-jointed.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
Front and side skirt armors can pivot for to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
The hip joint axis can pivot up or down.
The upper thighs can swing frontward (and backward in a very limited extent due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor), raise horizontally and/or rotate on each piece.
The ankle joints can pivot or tilt (in a limited manner).

The left hand is swappable.
All of the weapons can be wielded by either of the default hands.
Blue Destiny Unit 1 can convert into EXAM mode via minor parts swapping on the head & backpack.
- As for the manga version, you need to replace the normal head and extend the thigh's recharge racks and the shoulder parts.

The head unit can be built with two different visors; normal version or EXAM-activated.
Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the thigh's recharge racks (as handheld weapons) via minor parts rearrangement.
The shield can...
- Mount onto any of the forearms, though the default position is on the left.
- Be stood up by folding down the bipod.
100mm Machine Gun's...
- Stock can fold backwards/forwards.
- Foregrip can swing forward.
Ammo pack can be removed from the Machine Gun and store onto one of the side waist armors.
Blue Destiny Unit 1 can mount onto any Action Bases. (Sold separately)

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.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
Take note that the neck joint (C1 13) is only compatible with the kit's included head part (and some other HGUC GM Ground type variants)
If one wishes to display both the game and the manga versions, one must buy both of the kits.
Due to its tight construction, care must be taken while posing the joint piece inside the torso/waist, especially the one part (C1 16) that connects the waist and the grey color-separated chest piece, which can develop stress marks during the build. Sanding the waist's swivel joint & the grey part's central circular latch is recommended to make a smoother fit. NOTE: This has the potential risk of over-sanding, which makes the joints to fit loosely.

Backpack & feet can be:
- optionally painted with Midnight Blue to resemble its appearance in the Sega Saturn game & the Manga/G.F.F. (Gundam Fix Figuration) version of the design.
- left unpainted for design accuracy.
