You can detach the Farsia Base from the wine-glass-style clear stand,
and the hole on the bottom of the Farsia Base can be covered with a cap.
Though honestly... there's no way to stand it up on its own, so that feature isn't really all that useful. ^^;

The leftover hand parts can be stored underneath the clear stand.

Articulation is decent enough.

The scarf-like backpack section does move to some degree.

By plugging the five Farsia Bits onto the included soft clear rods and attaching them to the stand,
you can recreate an all-range attack scene.

The Farsia, which could be called the feminine mobile suit of the AGE lineup, has been released as an HG. As you can see, it's got a petite frame, elegant lines, and pink molded colors — unmistakably feminine in design. The scarf-like look around the neck is a particularly fun touch. ^^

This kit is unusual in that it uses no polycaps whatsoever. That said, Bandai's polycap-less engineering has reached quite a refined level, and the joint strength feels solid and stable — not stiff or loose at all. If anything, the lack of polycaps actually makes the build feel a bit easier. The articulation isn't exceptional, but the graceful lines give it a nice look when posed.

The HG Farsia comes with its own dedicated Farsia Base, which also serves as the disc-like vehicle the suit rides on. On top of that, a dedicated clear stand for the Farsia Base is included, and there's also support for mounting it on an Action Base 2 without the stand. You can also recreate an all-range attack pose by plugging the five panel-style bit weapons onto soft clear rods — overall, this kit feels surprisingly generous for its price point.

Even if you're not particularly into AGE, if you're a fan of feminine mobile suit designs, this is a clean, well-made kit that's definitely worth building. :-)
