If you’ve been following the Gunpla world in 2026, you already know that the HG 1/144 Alyzeus is the most talked-about kit of the year. From the highly anticipated film Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, this massive new High Grade kit has been making waves since Bandai first revealed it — and for very good reason. Standing at an incredible 25 centimetres tall (that’s 250mm in 1/144 scale), the Alyzeus utterly dwarfs every other HG on your shelf. Today we’re diving into everything you need to know about this remarkable kit, from its jaw-dropping transformation gimmicks to whether it’s worth picking up right here in Malaysia.
What Is the TX-ff104 Alyzeus?
The TX-ff104 Alyzeus is a mobile suit that plays a key role in Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, the second film in the Hathaway’s Flash trilogy. From a lore perspective, it’s a fascinating machine — the Alyzeus actually houses a RX-94 Mass Production Type Nu Gundam inside its outer armour. Think of it as a mobile suit wearing another mobile suit as a shell, with the prototype components from the Penelope’s development incorporated into its exterior armour. This unique construction is at the heart of what makes this Gunpla kit so special.
The TX-ff104 is a super-large mobile suit even within the Gundam universe, which is why it translates into such an enormous kit at 1/144 scale. Bandai built this as a completely new mould from the ground up — no parts reuse here — and the result is a showcase of what the HG line is capable of when Bandai really pushes the boundaries.
Four Transformation Modes: The Star of the Show
The headline feature of the HG 1/144 Alyzeus is its ability to transform into four distinct configurations. This isn’t just a simple action pose — each mode represents a significantly different silhouette and involves a meaningful reconfiguration of parts. Here’s what you get:
- MS Mode — The standard upright Mobile Suit form, standing tall at approximately 250mm. This is your default display mode and shows off the kit’s impressive bulk and armament.
- Flight Form — The Alyzeus transforms into a high-speed flight configuration resembling a mobile fortress. The limbs fold and the armour rearranges into a sleek, aerodynamic shape perfect for dynamic display.
- Half-Destroyed State — A dramatic battle-damage configuration recreating a key scene from the film. The external armour is partially purged to reveal the inner structure.
- Mass Production Type Nu Gundam (Separated) — The most exciting gimmick of all: the outer armour fully purges to reveal the RX-94 Mass Production Nu Gundam hidden within. Importantly, this marks the first-ever Gunpla release of the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam. Collectors, take note!
A dedicated display base is included to support the various forms, especially the flight poses. It’s a thoughtful inclusion that lets you show off the transformation without your kit toppling off the shelf.
Build Quality and Out-of-Box Experience
Bandai has positioned the Alyzeus as a showcase of everything modern HG engineering can achieve. The colour separation is exceptional — most of the complex armour colours are reproduced through individual parts rather than stickers, which means even a straight build (no paint) looks impressively accurate. The clear parts used for the plasma reactor components scattered across the armour add a beautiful translucent accent that really makes the kit pop on the shelf.
As a Skill Level 1 kit, the Alyzeus requires no cement (snap-fit construction) and no painting to achieve a presentable result. That said, a panel lining session with a Gundam Marker will elevate the look dramatically — those deep armour details on a kit this large are practically begging for some ink. If you want to go further, the surface is a great canvas for weathering with pastels or dry brushing.
Articulation is strong for a kit of this bulk, and the transformation mechanisms are designed to be intuitive rather than frustrating. Bandai has clearly put thought into making sure you can actually swap between modes without fear of stressing the plastic.
What’s in the Box?
The Alyzeus kit includes everything you need for a complete and satisfying build right out of the box:
- All runners for the TX-ff104 Alyzeus (including clear parts for the plasma reactors)
- Inner structure runners for the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam
- 2× beam sabers
- Prototype beam rifle
- Additional battle-damage armour set
- Assorted hand parts (including specialised manipulators)
- Display base (for aerial and transformation poses)
- Sticker sheet
Given the size and complexity of this kit, the box is substantial — don’t be surprised when you pick it up at the shop!
Should Malaysian Gunpla Fans Pick This Up?
Absolutely, and here’s why. The HG 1/144 Alyzeus is not just a great kit — it’s a historically significant one. The inclusion of the first-ever Mass Production Type Nu Gundam makes this an essential collector’s item for Universal Century fans. If you love Char’s Counterattack, Hathaway’s Flash, or anything in the late UC timeline, the lore significance of this kit alone is reason enough to add it to your collection.
For builders, the size means every hour you put into detailing pays off in a big, visible way. Panel lining, painting the frame details, adding water slide decals — all of it reads from a distance on a 25cm kit in a way it simply doesn’t on a smaller HG. If you’ve been wanting to try intermediate techniques but felt your kits were too small to bother, the Alyzeus gives you a serious canvas to work on.
At RM420.00, this kit is a premium purchase, but consider what you’re getting: four buildable configurations, a Skill Level 1 snap-fit build accessible to any experience level, exceptional out-of-box colour accuracy, and collector significance as the first Mass Production Nu Gundam Gunpla. For context, this is a kit that has sold out at pre-order across most international retailers. Availability in Malaysia is limited, so if you’re interested, don’t sleep on it.
