gMS-κ GFreD: A Closer Look
Holding the official designation of "Unit No. 2," the gMS-κ GFreD is known as the "sister unit" to the protagonist's mobile suit, GQuuuuuuX. Piloted by the character Nyaan, this machine made a stunning debut in the anime's eighth episode. Key design features include a slender build, a distinct purple and green color scheme, and a unique head unit that houses its primary armament: the "Esbit" remote weapons.
The figure's visual concept is a recognized tribute to the iconic Evangelion Unit-01.
