  • Nippers/Side Cutters: For cleanly removing parts from the runners.
  • Hobby Knife (optional): For trimming excess plastic (nubs).
  • Small Screwdriver (for battery compartment, if applicable).
  • CR1220 Batteries (x2): For the LED luminescent unit.

4.2 Part Preparation

Carefully cut each part from its runner using nippers. Ensure a clean cut to minimize stress marks. The white parts feature a glossy finish, designed to resemble the character's appearance without painting.

4.5 Articulation and Gimmick Assembly

Assemble the limbs and armor, noting the articulated joints and interactive armor gimmicks. The model features a wide range of motion for dynamic posing.

  • Head and Torso Articulation: The head has a wide range of motion, allowing it to be deeply angled downwards. The abdominal parts are linked to the chest's movement, enhancing dynamic poses.
