Arms
Out of the box, the shoulder and the upper arm are one piece, but Bandai
managed to retain its mobility by cheating with moving lower arm instead.
But if you're a purist like me, you'll not put up with that! I separate
the shoulder and upper arm, then poly-capped the arm and pegged the
shoulder with corresponding plastic rod. Now you get a removable and
rotatable upper arm.
I hid
the ugly poly-cap between upper and lower arm by using a trimmed GP-03S
part (see pic). The hands here are Kotobukiya's metal hand pegged through
a drilled square vernier piece used as a cuff.
