Bandai Fully Reveals the HG Alyzeus Ahead of Release
Bandai Hobby has revealed full details and packaging art for a new model kit based on the anime film “Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe.”
The “HG 1/144 Alyzeus” is making its way to builders later this month, and the manufacturer has finally showcased the complete contents of the upcoming release.
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe is the latest cinematic entry in the Universal Century timeline.
The story continues the intense journey of Hathaway Noa as he leads the anti-Earth Federation organization Mafty.
During this conflict, massive and incredibly complex mobile suits are deployed, requiring advanced engineering to accurately represent their massive scale in plastic form.
The High Grade line typically offers a highly accessible 1/144 scale building experience.
This completely newly sculpted kit pushes the boundaries of the grade, standing at an imposing 25cm tall when fully assembled.
It boasts some of the highest levels of color separation, articulation, and mechanical gimmicks ever seen in this specific line.
Fans have also been treated to a look at the final box art, which features a cool, simple illustration of the mobile suit mid-air with the morning sun behind it.
The kit’s main feature is its ability to transform into four separate configurations through parts swapping and rearrangement.
Builders can recreate the standard MS Form, a streamlined Flight Form, the battle-damaged Alyzeus Half-Destroyed State, and the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam in its Separated State.
The Mass Production Type Nu Gundam itself is entirely newly designed for this release.
It features unique sub-arms hidden within the front skirt armor that can easily deploy beam sabers during close-quarters combat.
Attaching the remaining armor and shelf nozzles to the left shoulder creates a striking silhouette that intentionally mimics the original Nu Gundam’s fin funnels.
The kit also includes a prototype beam rifle, two standard beam sabers, a set of additional armor plates, various hand parts, and a sticker sheet for extra detailing.
A dedicated display base is provided to safely support the extreme weight of the model in all four of its unique configurations.
The “HG 1/144 Alyzeus” is priced at 13,200 yen (approx. $86 USD / £68 GBP) and is a general retail release that launches on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
Fans will be able to pick the kit up from physical hobby goods stores as well as through online retailers such as HobbyLink Japan.
