Bandai HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00 – Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash Model Kit

Add the Federation's imposing heavy-duty mobile suit to your collection with the Bandai HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00. Reimagined for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash timeline, this High Grade (HG) kit features a complete redesign by Katoki Hajime. While it shares a lineage with the previous UC version, this Type-00 model uses almost entirely new molds to achieve a more refined, sleek silhouette that balances its massive armored proportions with modern engineering.

Advanced Articulation: The Bandai HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00

Despite its bulky frame, the Bandai HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00 offers surprising mobility thanks to a sliding hip joint mechanism. This allows for a wider range of leg movement, supporting stable lunging and wide-stance combat poses. The flexible shoulder shield is mounted on a multi-axis arm, enabling it to be positioned forward for defense or angled outward for dynamic display. The kit also features toe articulation, a rare addition for a suit of this size, which further enhances its expressive posing potential.

This snap-fit kit is molded in the official blue and grey color scheme, requiring no glue or paint for a professional finish. The Bandai HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00 comes equipped with a versatile arsenal, including a beam rifle, a bazooka, and two beam sabers. The backpack is specifically designed to mount both the rifle and bazooka simultaneously, while the saber hilts can be tucked away in the side skirt armor. With its dense surface detailing and updated joint mechanics, this kit is a standout addition for any Universal Century collector at Hobby Collectors Australia.
