    We won't lie to you, there hasn't been one customer in our store since the release of the Unicorn Gustav Karl who ever said "I want this kit, but only if it's the Type 00 from Hathaway's Flash." That doesn't mean they're not out there though, and if you're that person, Bandai has you covered!!

    This kit is EXTREMELY blue, and there is a new bazooka and a new gimmick for the shoulder-mounted shield that allows it to be articulated into a variety of positions. Maybe he'll be able to use that shield to parry Renoir this time.

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

      I’m fond of Karl.

      Very happy to see this guy released so my Messer has a buddy. These new kits are real nice, good color separation. Lots of thrusters and movable leg panels for posing. Just waiting on proper waterslide decals to be released.

      This kit is all around great with one of the big things being its an all plastic build with only one sticker really being required the eyes. Besides that this version of the Gustav also has a nice gimmick where the lower leg armor opens up to reveal the thrusters for flight mode. The color choice also makes it stick out with another nice thing being the weapons don't have the normal pegs to plug into the hands which means it's easier to have other ms hold them without the worry of the pegs breaking off or not being the right size

      Great!

      Compared to the old unicorn version, almost everything is better in this one. Although, for some reason Bandai did not replace all the parts and you still have a few plates from the old one. Like the feet armor part for some reason. The leg joints are holding up much better thanks to the new KPS joints. The hands are actually new parts and even the weapons. It's too bad they couldn't make the head look up more but, that's because of how the head is designed. The new version of the jegan bazooka is actually compatibility with most of the hands.
