Detail shots
Outer armor removed
Internal frame.
The basic skeleton is based on the First 2.0.
Frame detail shots.
Frame articulation is off the charts!!
Since there's no core fighter system,
joints are built into the waist interior even though it's a First.
The waist joint is super flexible — on the frame alone it bends 90 degrees both forward and backward ;;
It's also interesting that articulated cylinders have been added to both sides of the ankles.
Kneeling poses come naturally, like a total pro~

It seems the recent trend is to skip the inner armor detail molding on anything that isn't a proper Universal Century kit..
The skirt interior molding feels a little plain too, for some reason.
A wide variety of weapons are included.
The Hyper Bazooka can be extended in length and has a foldable grip.
Two different length blade parts can be attached to the front of the small handgun.
You can also use the combinable beam weapon parts to configure three different weapon loadouts..
You can also combine the beam weapons front-to-back.
On top of that, a variety of joint parts are included.
They're used to connect weapons together or mount them onto the body.
For this purpose, all weapons are equipped with a rotating mount.
Also, all weapons have a peg hole so you plug in the palm peg to hold them —
grip issues are basically a non-problem.
Cockpit hatch open.
It barely opens at all, so getting in and out would be a real struggle.. ;;
Push the pin on the side of the backpack toward the front of the body,
and the chest duct opens up to reveal the missile hatch, just like shown above.
Lowering the armor on the underside of the front skirt also opens up a missile hatch.
There's also a weapon compartment on the front of the small, cute shield.
Folding down the side skirts reveals additional peg holes for mounting weapons.
There's no separate beam saber grip — it slots directly onto the right arm.

Some parts from the First 2.0 are left over as leftover parts.
True to the First 2.0 frame, articulation is excellent —
though the front skirts still limit hip joint range of motion a bit, which is a minor disappointment.
The shoulders swing forward quite a bit
With no core block, the waist moves quite a lot forward and backward.
The knee covers can also be detached and move in tandem.
The verniers on top of the shoulders rotate at various angles.
The multi-joint arm connected to the backpack is both flexible and holds its position firmly.
It's fun how the backpack nozzles move through quite a wide range.
Natural kneeling firing pose
Short blade action.
The ankles are flexible and the ground contact is solid, making it easy to pose on a flat surface.
