Includes

Beam Rifle
Kit Features & Gimmicks
Articulation
The head can swivel on a single ball-and-socket neck joint connection.
The shoulder joints can slightly lift upwards.
Only the shoulder armors can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint connection, as the arms themselves are molded to the same piece.
The upper arms can rotate.
Though built with the double-jointed-style construction, the elbows and knees can only be bent up to 90 degrees.
The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
The waist can rotate on a peg-and-socket joint, though in an extent due to being hindered by skirt armors.
Though hindered by the non-poseable skirt armors, the upper thighs can only swing back and forth (in a limited extent) on an upwards-angled peg-and-socket joint.
The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint in a very limited manner.
Weapons/Other Gimmicks
The Beam Rifle can be wielded by either of the hand parts, though the default position is on the right.
Tips & Tricks
For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color Paints.
Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
Availability
The Gunpla is first released as an attendee item for the (now-closed) Gundam Front Tokyo's "Gunpla Assembly Trial" event starting from late March 2016. The Gunpla would later see further release for various future Gunpla-based events.
