The ankle tilt angle is great for posing,
but the feet are so small you'll need to balance the center of gravity carefully.

HG Michaelis - With the HG Beguir-Pente.

With the HG Beguir-Pente.

This is the HG Michaelis from Mobile Suit Gundam "The Witch from Mercury." It shares a similar skeletal structure with the Beguir-Beu/Beguir-Pente, but comes out a bit larger overall.

First off, it's built on a polycap-less joint structure that delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength. The right arm is equipped with the beam bracer, a multi-purpose weapon that can be used either as a beam saber or in claw form. A lead wire and clear stand are also included for launching the beam bracer, so you can pull off stable launch poses too. On top of that, the two beam parts can be plugged into the beam bracer on the right arm and the small shield on the left arm to use as beam sabers.

So it's a kit that shows off great articulation and gimmick recreation. The feet are pretty small, so you'll need to watch the center of gravity when posing without a stand — but overall the quality is solidly A-grade. Either way, if you like the look of it, just go ahead and grab one without hesitation. :-)
