Airsoft Mike does an unboxing and quick review of the Lancer Tactical Tandemkross Cthulhu Gas Blowback (GBB) Airsoft Pistol, specifically the striking gold colorway. He first introduces the pistol, noting that its base design is derived from the Action Army AAP-01. The unboxing reveals a manual, a certificate of quality, and various accessories, including a metal rail piece, a halo ring pull, a compensator, and an optional mounting plate. He expresses immediate appreciation for the gold finish and the inclusion of normally separate accessories, such as the thumb rest and an enhanced trigger, straight out of the box.

Airsoft Mike proceeds to detail the pistol's features, highlighting the aesthetic gold accents and the compatibility with other magazines, such as Umarex Glock-type mags. He points out the fiber optic sights, which are fully adjustable for both elevation and windage—a rare feature in airsoft pistols. The upper receiver is polymer, indicating a claimed output of 1.2 joules, and features the Tandemkross Cthulhu trades. He demonstrates the golden enhanced thumb safety, the bolt catch and release, and the large thumb rest. He also notes the stunning metal outer barrel, which resembles a drill bit, and the threaded end that allows for attachments like a tracer unit. The pistol also features a Picatinny i rail and a unique "hive" design grip.

Finally, he shows the Cthulhu's functionality, including the ability to switch between semi-auto and full-auto fire using a switch underneath the bolt when it's locked back. Airsoft Mike performs an FPS test, getting an average of 346 FPS, which is ideal for airsoft gameplay. An accuracy test shows excellent precision, with most shots landing dead center on the bullseye. He concludes the review with a full-auto test using an extended magazine, expressing strong satisfaction with the pistol's performance, calling it an impressive and current design based on a classic Ruger look.
