Kit Features
This model faithfully reproduces the mobile suit's distinctive shape, featuring a "high-spec silhouette" that sets it apart from its sibling unit with a new color scheme and a unique head design. A key feature is the ability to recreate two head states by swapping parts: a "non-deployed" state (非展開状態) and a "deployed" state (展開状態).

Mobile Suit Summary: gMS-κ GFreD
The gMS-κ GFreD, or Gundam FreD, is a sibling unit to the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX, with which it shares an almost identical main structure, suggesting a development program that envisions specialized variants. Its most notable difference lies in its head design, which incorporates two prominent elements described as "ear-like" and "funnel-type," suggesting the use of remote weaponry or advanced systems. In fact, it has been described as a "mobile suit for Newtype use" that can be operated remotely and is equipped with powerful beam weapons and funnels.
Visually, it has a color scheme in shades of purple and green that clearly distinguishes it. The gMS-κ GFreD makes its debut in episode 8 of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, titled "Fall to the Moon," and is piloted by the character Nyaan.
This GFreD brings a unique and menacing design to the High Grade line. What are your thoughts on this sibling unit? Let us know in the comments below!
