Ball joints up the wazzo.  These guys are a TRPG fan's wet dream.  You
probably need a pair of tweezers to pose them, but how would like to
recreate a whole battle (Jaburo Assualt, or 08MST Shuddering Mountain)
on a dinner table?  Not just a static diorama scene, but a dynamic
battle.

(hmm the Belfast or Seattle scene would take a ping pong table)

Well read my lips, GC WB is 99% orthodox.  It's equilvalent to HG
Gundam (not HGUC) kit, except sub system injection for pre-paint.  The
non-orthodox part is the three toy figures included.

AHA!  Thought you'd never ask.  Let's TRY to define orthodoxy:

orthodoxy (n.): [model] the state of a model kit being open to
customization, generally involving painting and/or modification,
without dis-assembly from the retail condition.

So: PG/MG/HG/UG/GK are all ortho. MSIA/GFIX are all not.  People
customize MSIA just like any model, but you have to dis-assemble (at
least) the limbs, nozzles, backpack etc before you can do anything
meaningful.

So GC WB is 100% ortho, except those three MS figures.  GC QM is say
75% ortho, since most people can mod/repaint with just masking.  GC BZ
is less than 50% ortho, since the legs (<50%) are ortho, but the bulk
body can't really be custom-painted without dis-assembly.

It's only slightly larger than a bassinet!  OTOH perhaps a better
project for you is to mod a tricycle into a Musai.
