Hollow gaps on the inside of the legs and the stand mounting hole..

The circular truss on the back moves freely.

You can lay it out in a circle on the ground and float the body above it.

The Stargazer Gundam — one of the more unique entries in the Gundam SEED side stories — has been released in SD form. The band details across the body are provided as gold seals, though originally both black and gold should have been offered as options... I guess since it's SD, they just went with a single color.

The highlight of the Stargazer Gundam is of course the circular truss gimmick on the back, and just like the HG kit, it's well designed so you can move and combine it freely in any configuration. The polycap joint strength is solid too, so it holds whatever angle you put it in — and you can even arrange it in a circle on the ground and use it as a display stand for the body.

Four beam parts are also included to recreate the Voiture Lumiere interplanetary propulsion system, and you can mount them on the back truss to pull off some really flashy action poses. The beam parts move quite flexibly as well, so you can position them at all sorts of angles — giving it a variety that you wouldn't normally expect from an SD kit. ^^

All in all, it's a super distinctive SD kit, and if you're into the combination of that elaborate truss + Voiture Lumiere system, this is a uniquely fun BB Senshi kit worth checking out. :-)
