Bandai Spirits will open preorders for two METAL ROBOT Spirits items from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom on October 9 at 5:00 PM JST. The Black Knight Squad Carla articulated figure is priced at 26,400 yen including tax, with an April 2027 ship date. A dedicated effect parts set is priced at 6,050 yen including tax and ships the same month. The figure stands about 145mm tall and uses ABS, PVC, and diecast parts. Its chest armor moves to deploy the Super High Impulse Cannon Adulo Onji, and the included interchangeable face parts correspond to scenes from the film. The effect parts set carries Levitator effect parts with gradient paint and a wingspan of about 410mm. It also includes Sahasrabhuja effect parts and support parts to recreate the launch state. Both items are listed as manufacturer BANDAI SPIRITS. Preorders run through the Tamashii Web Shop and Premium Bandai, per the announcements.
The Black Knight Squad Carla is a two-seater machine developed independently by Foundation while incorporating Plant technology. The front seat handles piloting and the rear seat handles fire control. Its pilots are Orphee Lam Tao on the controls and Ingrid Tradoll on fire control. The figure adopts the new-generation Femtech Armor (FT Armor), and the sculpt is sized one step larger than the METAL ROBOT Spirits Strike Freedom Gundam Type II to keep the in-film proportions and action.
Its coloring uses multiple gold and white shades, with plating on the engraving of the armor and matte and metallic paint split across parts. Original METAL ROBOT Spirits markings run across the whole body. Both OWC-QZ18 Anti-Mobile Suit Enhanced Swords are included, so the dual-wielding style can be posed.
The figure set also includes three types of interchangeable hands for each side, a backpack, two deployment-state backpack units, a high-energy beam rifle that mounts on the rear skirt, sword effect parts, a joint parts set, and a dedicated stand. The effect parts set adds 16 Sahasrabhuja effect parts and a turret-type support for spatial staging. The current main visual uses the Tamashii Web Shop, and the listed copyright is Sunrise.
