Head parts diagram

The outer armor panels on the sides of the head that open and close feel like they don't quite fit flush.. there's a slight gap.

Unlike other PGs that store the button batteries in the head, the PG Mk. II runs wires out to connect to the power source in the backpack.
That's so it can share power with the cockpit.

Outer armor removed

Compared to other PGs, the Mk. II's head internal frame feels a bit plain..

Since the 2 button batteries that are supposed to be shared with the cockpit LED are powering just the head unit alone, it comes out really bright ^^;

Body parts diagram. Definitely PG-level~

The shoulder joints can be pulled straight out.

The chest ducts are movable. Pretty much a given for a PG.

Cockpit hatch open.
The red part at the bottom keeps popping off, so you may need to glue it in place.

You can light up the cockpit interior using the backpack's power source.

The storage compartment on the rear for securing the bazooka is also implemented as an openable hatch.

The structure for connecting the head and torso LEDs to the backpack's power unit.

The molding inside the skirt is PG-grade too.

The cockpit interior is made of chrome parts, which makes the light from the built-in cockpit LED look even more beautiful.
It's then wrapped again by a red sphere on the outside. Truly faithful to the source material.

Before connecting the upper torso, cockpit section, and waist.
Cylinders are lined up all throughout the gaps~

A heads-up when connecting the bottom of the upper torso to the cockpit section.
The two areas highlighted in yellow are where they join together, and there have been a lot of reports of them not fitting together completely because it's just way too tight.
You'll want to shave or sand down the connection points a bit beforehand to loosen them up slightly.
Even if it's a little loose there, there are plenty of other pins holding things in place so it won't affect durability — makes you wonder why they made it so tight in the first place..

The cockpit, upper torso, and lower torso assembled together.

The inner hatch of the red cockpit section slides open.

4 cylinders on each side of the torso move individually.

When you rotate the waist, each cylinder twists and moves on its ball joint.

Hatch opening is only possible on the shoulder sections.

Backpack parts diagram.

The 4 verniers move freely on ball joints.

The power source for the head and cockpit LEDs is located in the backpack. It uses 2 LR43 button batteries,
and it's a bit of a hassle since you have to disassemble quite a bit just to swap them out.

One thing to note — the contact point on the negative terminal of the lower button battery isn't tight enough, which can cause inconsistent power delivery.
It seems like you'll need to use a knife tip to slightly lift the terminal for better contact with the battery.

The power switch is located where the slide-type retainer on top of the backpack pulls out.

When attaching the backpack, power is supplied by plugging the two power cord connectors into the body.

The beam sabers are secured doubly — not just by the plug-in section at the bottom, but also by a peg that locks into the hand,
so they hang on nice and firmly.

Metal pipe cords — 2 on the backpack and 4 on each leg, 10 in total.
A special item unique to the PG Mk. II. They're a bit floppy though.

The backpack doesn't have a hatch open feature, but you can remove the outer armor to see the internal mechanical frame.

A pretty intricate backpack mechanical frame

The verniers can extend and retract via a slide mechanism.

Arm parts layout

Part Review

Outer armor removed

Articulation worthy of a PG.

The elbow section connects via a slide mechanism.

Just slide it in like this.

Mechanical detail on the shoulder section. Not a single cylinder to be found.

There's one cylinder at the elbow.

Two cylinders on the arm section.
Overall, there are fewer cylinders on the arms compared to other PGs.

Hatch open.

When you bend the arm 90 degrees, the inner arm armor slides smoothly inward.

Leg parts layout

Foot parts layout

Close-up shot of the foot section

Just like the backpack, there are gold metal chains — 2 at the ankle and 2 behind the knee.

Spring-loaded ankle suspension.
The mechanical linkage that works in tandem with the suspension is really impressive.

The cylinder at the front of the ankle operates on a ball joint — free to move in all directions, front, back, and side to side.

Sole mold detail.

The knee joint splits into a double section and folds via a slide mechanism.

Internal frame movement at the knee joint.

The duct at the bottom of the leg is, of course~, articulated.

Outer armor removed

The mold detail carries through faithfully to the inside of the outer armor as well.

The cylinder at the connection point to the body.

The side panels at the ankle open and close widely up and down like a skirt.

The gold chains(?) behind the knee/ankle

The leg is completed by combining three movable frames.

First, slide the ankle section into the bottom of the shin section..

Lower the pipe connector and it locks right into place.

Insert the gold chain from the top and lower the side skirt panel — shin-to-foot connection complete

Slide the thigh section into the top of the shin section above the knee.

Fold and lock the joint fixture at the front of the knee and the assembly is complete.

The weapons include a beam rifle, head vulcan pod, hyper bazooka, and shield.

Head vulcan pod parts layout.

Not very PG-like that they didn't match the molded color.. The circled part should originally be red.

Looks like you can fold it flat like that and carry it around.

Beam rifle parts layout.

Open the top cover and there's a bit of internal frame detail inside.

Comes with the Hyper Bazooka, and each grip has a peg to lock it into the palm.

You can also hang it on the side skirt.

Parts for the Hyper Bazooka

It's on the large side at roughly 24cm long.

The grip can also be folded..

The magazine can be removed, and even the missiles inside are individually detailed.

The bazooka's magazine has a cap...

You can put the cap on and mount it on the side skirt like this.

The Hyper Bazooka can of course be mounted on the rear.

When mounting the Hyper Bazooka on the rear, you first insert the T-shaped peg on the body into the wide slot at the bottom, then slide it sideways
to lock it in place.
So even with that big Hyper Bazooka sitting on the rear of that large frame, it stays rock solid without any wobble.

Parts for the shield

You can store 2 beam rifle energy packs on it.

The shield's lower section can be pushed out with a spring mechanism..

The forearm connector on the shield rotates, which locks it in the folded or extended position.

The forearm connector can also be adjusted like that. So..

You can attach it to the forearm in two different ways.
The left is with it attached straight, and the right is with the arm rotated 90 degrees before attaching.
