That's a great kit. I made a custom a few years ago based on a "what if" scenario where Kai Shiden gets back into the robot some time after Unicorn.
That is a thing of beauty!
Where do you rank Gustav Karl?
I give it a rating of Chonk out of Backlog.
Seriously though, I don't have a strong opinion either way. They got maybe 20 seconds of screen time between Narrative and Hathaway IIRC, and I haven't built one to appreciate the finer details. I'm generally not a fan of beefier designs with blocky/angular shapes, preferring the smoother Zeon aesthetic. (And vice versa - I like slimmer suits to be blocky.)
Gustav Karl's five minutes of wonton urban collateral damage spree in Hathaway still makes me cringe a bit every time I see one. One of my least favorite suits.
