The figure is listed at 13,200 yen including tax, with pre-orders opening at 4:00 PM on Thursday, October 1, 2026 and shipping scheduled for March 2027. The Aqua Unit moves independently on the left and right, and the Flight Unit's wings deploy to the sides. A blue base printed with the logo of Griffon's OS "ASURA" is included, along with interchangeable hand parts, a tail fin, and waist replacement parts. The damaged head for Unit 2 has a broken visor and can be placed at the figure's feet. The Ingram Unit 1 is sold separately.
