The Sea Snake has a loose connection with the hand, so it just droops downward.
In my case, I stuck double-sided tape on the palm to get the action poses shot.

A total of 2 hand types are included.

The mono-eye on the head is on a ball joint, so you can adjust its direction.

The mono-eyes on the back of the head and shoulders can also be slid along their rails to change position.

TRANSFORMATION

Then fold the arms forward as shown above.

Remove the knee armor to release the knee joint lock, rotate the shin 180 degrees, then fold the feet in.

Fold the legs 180 degrees as shown above, then reattach the knee parts to lock the angle in place.

Same concept, but completely different details.

This is the HG Hambrabi(GQ) released as part of the Gundam Ziku Axe series. HGUC Hambrabi(GQ)It's been completely remodeled as a GQ version with entirely different details from the original. The weapons and transformation sequence are implemented with the same concept as the original Hambrabi(GQ).

Overall, it has a smooth build feel and excellent sculpting. Since it uses polycap-less joints, it could have been stiff, but thankfully the joints are both sturdy and smooth. The color separation is also great — only one sticker is needed. All four mono-eyes, including the head, back of the head, and both shoulders, are done in pink clear parts. On top of that, the gimmick of repositioning each mono-eye is faithfully reproduced as well. The mono-eye parts are really tiny though, so be careful not to lose them. (I dropped one on the floor and spent five minutes hunting for it...)

The Fedayeen Rifle is included as a weapon, and you can add the beam parts to use it in beam scythe mode. Along with that, the Hambrabi(GQ)'s signature Sea Snake (Umihabi) is also reproduced with a lead wire. However, the connection between the Sea Snake handle and the hand is loose, making it hard to position it the way you want — it keeps drooping downward, so in my case I stuck double-sided tape on the palm before shooting the action poses.

The transformation into Mobile Armor mode is relatively straightforward and follows a similar process to the original Hambrabi(GQ). The differences are in how the lower leg rotates 180 degrees and then folds back, and how the feet fold and tuck in. Also, when folding the knees, you need to temporarily remove the knee armor and then reattach it — this knee armor serves to lock the knee joint both before and after transformation.

So that's the Ziku Axe version of the Hambrabi(GQ), and it's a clean, quality kit. The unique manta ray-inspired design might not be for everyone, but if the style appeals to you, it's a great kit worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
