The HOBBY Division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Co., Ltd. has announced the latest product from the animated film "Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: Witch of Kirke," the "HG 1/144 Messer M01 Type (Gauman's Machine)," from its most diverse Gunpla series, "HG (High Grade)," scheduled for release in May 2026. 
The Me02R-M01 Messer M01 Type differs from the "Messer F Type," the main mobile suit used by the Mafty organization in the previous work. It is a specification manufactured on a different factory production line. For the guerrilla warfare requirement where its manufacturing source must be unidentifiable, the mobile suit uses the same internal frame and basic specifications, but its exterior design has many differences from the F Type. Mafty's veteran pilot, Gauman Nobil, switched to piloting this model after losing his F Type. However, due to time constraints, it could not be fully painted, leaving a section of armor on its left shoulder exposed with its base color.
The "HG 1/144 Messer M01 Type (Gauman's Machine)" almost entirely uses newly molded parts to reproduce the joint parts and various differing armor designs. The entire body's armor parts not only possess a sense of heft but also utilize a rich array of molded color parts to reproduce the desert yellow, reddish-brown, and the unpainted gray base armor on the left shoulder. The clear purple parts at the front of the chest armor, as well as the yellow parts for the air intakes and thrusters throughout the body, are also separately molded and colored. Regarding weaponry, the beam rifle parts appear to be reused from the F Type, while the shield is a newly molded part with a different design.
