The Chonkiest Grunt, Rebuilt From The Ground Up! | HG Gustav Karl Type 00 UNBOXING & REVIEW [4K]

Hi guys and welcome to my review of the High Grade Gustav Karl Type-00, a 2026 standard release representing the Hathaway's Flash iteration of the Federation's chunkiest mobile suit which we last saw in 2019's HG Gustav Karl Unicorn Version! This kit, while initially appearing to be just a color swap on the surface with some new details for armor on things like the head and waist, actually greatly improves upon the already fairly impressive base of the Unicorn version. Sporting an enhanced frame devoid of polycaps as well as new auxiliary joints in key areas such as the torso, legs, feet, and a newly designed articulating sub-arm for the shield, this Gustav Karl builds up in a much more robust, detailed way than its predecessor does. Combined with slightly slimmer, sleeker proportions, an enhanced arsenal courtesy of the Jegan bazooka it is now equipped with as well as much improved lower body articulation, is this package just a no-brainer pickup over the Unicorn version or is there a catch somewhere? Also sorry this video is out a couple days later than I was intending, something went really wrong in audio recording for the review section, for some reason Rode's software went nuts with their gain, it would randomly pick a couple syllables or words per sentence and absolutely crank the gain on them, horrifically clipping the audio and serving as a sonic jumpscare. Took me a while to get everything to be tolerable to listen to, sorry if volume fluctuations in the video are still noticeable.
