A total of 3 sets of hands are included, but there's only 1 set of hand back parts, so you'll have to swap them around as needed.

The beam rifle can be shifted into its deployed configuration by repositioning the parts.

You can apply the included head to the HG Earthree Gundam, or crossover the Earthree Gundam's forearms onto this kit.

This is the HG Alus Earthree Gundam, released as part of the Build Divers Re:Rise series. The color scheme and overall layout are similar to the original Earthree Gundam, but it's a completely different mobile suit design. The armor-removal process to form the Alus Core Gundam works the same way, but the difference is that instead of combining the armor into a flight unit, you just build a display stand-style Alus Earth Armor.

The Alus Core Gundam is a bit larger than the original Core Gundam and comes with its own dedicated head, giving it a nicely distinct design. There's also an extra head included that can be swapped onto the HG Earthree Gundam. Overall build quality is pretty much on par with the HG Earthree Gundam — solid articulation, decent joint strength, and a smooth building experience, making it a standard HG kit through and through. The one downside is that while 3 sets of hands are included, there's only 1 set of hand back parts, so you'll have to keep swapping them out, which gets a bit annoying.

In many ways it feels more like an enemy unit than a Gundam, but it's a kit that pulls off a completely different look while using the same basic format — pretty well done, I'd say. :-)
