Those feet are really... uniquely designed ^^;

True to AG form, only the shoulders and head have any articulation.

AG Gundam AGE-3 Orbital - Action Pose (1/3)

Action pose

Together with the AG Gundam AGE-3 Normal. Since it's standing on tiptoe, it feels noticeably taller.

The AGE-3 Orbital has been released as an AG kit, as a variation of the Gundam AGE-3. The main color scheme has been changed from blue to a reddish tone, and just like the previous series, the arms, legs, and accessories have been swapped out while the head and main body remain the same.

Among the various design changes, the most eye-catching part is definitely the feet — they're shaped like the kit is standing on tiptoe with a platform base underneath. Thanks to that, it ends up a whole head taller than before, and the proportions give the legs a noticeably more elongated look.

The rest of the basic setup follows the standard AG kit formula, so there's nothing particularly special about it — though the unique design itself could be considered a selling point... or depending on how you look at it, it might just feel a bit awkward. Either way, if you're building it to display alongside the AGE-3 Normal, it should make for a pretty nice pair. :-)
