Bandai 1/144 HGUC Alyzeus

Bandai's biggest HG ever, hiding a fully built Mass Production Nu Gundam underneath

The TX-ff104 Alyzeus is the second film in the Hathaway's Flash trilogy made tangible. Hathaway Noa's Mafty resistance is fielding mobile suits that no longer fit the silhouette of the suits we know from earlier in the Universal Century. The Alyzeus is the proof of concept. It carries a fully built RX-94 Mass Production Type Nu Gundam inside its outer armour shell, with the prototype technology from Penelope's development bolted into the exterior.

For the builder, this is the biggest HG kit Bandai has ever made. 25 cm tall in MS Mode. Four buildable configurations. Snap-fit construction. Aimed squarely at the builder who's done a few HGs and wants a kit with serious shelf presence without stepping up to Master Grade.

Build difficulty

The Alyzeus uses Skill Level 1 assembly on Bandai's box rating, no glue, no paint, no advanced techniques. It carries the runner count and complexity of a much larger kit. Expect 8 to 12 hours of build time at a relaxed pace, longer if you panel line, decal, or detail the inner frame. The transformation gimmicks are designed to be intuitive rather than fiddly, but the parts-swap between configurations takes practice the first time. Recommended for builders who have completed at least one standard HG before, though confident first-time builders can absolutely do it with patience and a sharp pair of nippers.

Technical highlights

The colour separation is the headline engineering feat. Most of the Alyzeus's armour tones are reproduced through individual moulded parts rather than stickers. The plasma reactor accents are moulded in clear plastic for a genuine translucent glow. Articulation is strong across the joints despite the kit's bulk. The inner Mass Production Type Nu Gundam carries hidden sub-arms inside the front skirt armour that deploy beam sabers for close-quarters poses. The kit uses a mix of plastic and ABS as standard for Bandai HG. The included display base supports the weight in all four configurations, important for Flight Form where the kit doesn't stand on its own.

What makes this kit special

  • The biggest HG kit ever made. 25 cm tall in MS Mode, closer to Master Grade scale than HG, at the 1/144 price and complexity tier.
  • First-ever Mass Production Type Nu Gundam Gunpla. The RX-94 Mass Production Nu Gundam has never been released as a kit before. This is its debut.
  • Four full configurations. MS Mode, Flight Form, Half-Destroyed State, Mass Production Nu Gundam (Separated). Each is a structural change, not a pose change.
  • Armour purge gimmick. The exterior shell fully separates to reveal the Mass Production Nu Gundam underneath. The leftover armour and shelf nozzles attach to the left shoulder in a fin-funnel-style silhouette that nods to the original RX-93 Nu Gundam.
  • Clear plasma reactor parts. The reactors are moulded in clear plastic for a translucent glow without paint.
  • Display base included. Supports flight poses and transformation displays without the kit toppling.
  • Snap-fit construction. No glue or paint required to reach a presentable result.

What's in the box

  • All runners for the TX-ff104 Alyzeus (including clear parts for the plasma reactors)
  • Inner structure runners for the RX-94 Mass Production Type Nu Gundam
  • 2 × beam sabers
  • 1 × prototype beam rifle
  • 1 × additional armour set (for the Half-Destroyed State)
  • Hand parts (1 set, including specialised manipulators)
  • Display base for aerial and transformation poses
  • Sticker sheet

Perfect for

  • Intermediate builders ready for higher part count and more transformation steps than a standard HG
  • Anyone who wants the first-ever Mass Production Nu Gundam Gunpla. This kit is the only way to get one.
  • Collectors who value uniqueness over completeness. The Alyzeus doesn't have a direct equivalent on the shelf.

Buying this as a gift for a long-time builder?

If you're shopping for someone who's been into Gunpla for years and you have no idea what "PG" or "MG" means, here's why this works.

The Alyzeus is a first-ever release, the only way to get the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam as a model kit. That means you don't have to know what's already on their shelf. It can't be a duplicate. The box is substantial, so it looks like a proper gift when it arrives. The build itself is meaningful enough that they'll get many hours of enjoyment out of it, not just another piece for the backlog.

What it actually is in plain language: a 25 cm tall plastic mobile suit kit that the recipient assembles themselves. No glue or paint required. It transforms between four different display configurations, including a hidden second robot inside the outer armour. It's one of the most talked-about Gunpla releases of 2026 and a safe pick for any builder who's been collecting for a year or more.

Fast Australian shipping

Dispatched same day from our Brisbane warehouse if ordered before 2pm AEST on weekdays. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Genuine Australian stock in hand, not ordered through an overseas proxy. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with void fill.

The Alyzeus ships in a large outer box due to the size of the kit's retail packaging (580 × 390 × 135 mm). Most Australian addresses receive it within 2 to 5 business days of dispatch via parcel post.

What to watch for

Based on verified early reviews from the April 2026 international release:

  • The kit benefits from the included stand. Early reviewers note that the Alyzeus, particularly in Flight Form, doesn't stand reliably on its own without the provided display base. Set up the stand before posing.
  • Clean nub removal matters more than usual. The kit's surface area is large enough that gate marks read at a distance more than on a smaller HG. Take time with sharp nippers and a hobby knife to keep the plastic crisp.
  • Transformation is intuitive once learned. Reviewers report no excessive force is needed for parts swaps, but the first run-through benefits from following the manual carefully rather than improvising.

Builder Tips. Panel lining with a black or grey Gundam Marker on the armour seams sharpens the look dramatically given the kit's size. The plasma reactor clear parts respond well to a light coat of clear yellow or clear blue paint if you want to push the glow effect further.

Build notes

No glue required, this is a snap-fit kit. A basic Gunpla tool kit (sharp side cutters or nippers, a hobby knife for clean-up, a panel line marker) is recommended though not essential. Allow 8 to 12 hours total build time at a relaxed pace, longer if you panel line or detail the frame. No batteries required. Recommended age 15 and over.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the assembled size of the HG 1/144 Alyzeus?

The Alyzeus stands approximately 25 cm tall in MS Mode, making it the largest 1/144 scale HG kit Bandai has ever produced. It dwarfs every other HG on the shelf and shares a footprint closer to a Master Grade kit while remaining at the HG scale and price point.

Does the HG Alyzeus require painting to look good?

No. The kit uses extensive colour separation through individual parts, so even a straight snap-build looks accurate to the Bandai promotional art. The plasma reactor accents are moulded in clear plastic. Panel lining with a Gundam Marker on the armour seams will sharpen the look further, but it's optional.

What's actually inside the Alyzeus armour?

The full RX-94 Mass Production Type Nu Gundam, in kit form. This is the first time the Mass Production Nu Gundam has been released as a Gunpla. The outer Alyzeus armour fully purges to reveal it, and the leftover armour and shelf nozzles attach to the left shoulder in a silhouette that intentionally mimics the original Nu Gundam's fin funnels.

What configurations can I display the kit in?

Four. Standard MS Mode (the upright form), Flight Form (a streamlined mobile-fortress transformation), Half-Destroyed State (a battle-damage configuration recreating a scene from the film), and the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam in Separated State. The included display base supports each form.

Is the Alyzeus suitable for first-time HG builders?

Yes, with a caveat. It's a snap-fit kit and doesn't require glue or paint, so the build technique itself is beginner-friendly. The runner count is well above a standard HG and the kit takes longer to complete, so set aside more time than you would for a typical HG. If you've built one or two HGs before, this is a satisfying next step.
