You can open the head hatch and rotate the mono-eye,
but the fit is loose so it tends to spin on its own pretty often.

Each one has its own distinct personality as a variation.

This kit is the HGUC Efreet, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. The unit first appeared in the Super Famicom game "Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079." The Efreet Schneid, Kai, and Nahel had already been released through regular retail and Club G before this, so the original Efreet is actually the fourth variation to come out.

Content-wise, it's closest in configuration to the HGUC Efreet Kai, using that as a base with changes to the head, shoulders, forearms, legs, and backpack. The color scheme is also a bit brighter, making this a variation kit with a strong sense of originality. Beyond that, the basic frame is the same as the previous releases, so it delivers solid articulation and joint strength as you'd expect. Weapons include two heat sabers and a dedicated shotgun — the heat sabers let you swap between beam and standard blade parts, and the shotgun grip comes in two different forms.

It's a variation kit with a fresh, clean color scheme and a distinctly eye-catching look — if the style appeals to you, this seems like a kit that's well worth having fun with. :-)
