TAMASHII NATIONS, the collectibles division of Japan’s BANDAI SPIRITS, has announced a new release in its popular die-cast "METAL BUILD" line: Gundam Dynames from the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam 00." The figure is scheduled to launch in January 2027.
GN-002 Gundam Dynames is one of Celestial Being’s third-generation Gundams, piloted by the original Lockon Stratos, Neil Dylandy. While Gundam Exia specializes in close-quarters combat, Gundam Dynames was built for long-range fire support. Its arsenal includes GN Beam Pistols, GN Missiles, and a GN Sniper Rifle, with Lockon primarily relying on the rifle best suited to his exceptional marksmanship. A high-precision camera hidden inside the head deploys during sniping to dramatically improve accuracy over extreme distances. Lockon can also hand control of the mobile suit over to Haro, allowing it to perform evasive maneuvers while he focuses on his shot.
"METAL BUILD Gundam Dynames" largely retains the main figure supervised by mechanical designer Takayuki Yanase for the previously released "Gundam Dynames & Devise Dynames." The figure features a premium fully painted finish, extensive printed markings, and sturdy yet highly articulated die-cast joints. Its dedicated display stand features a refreshed design by mechanical designer Kanetake Ebikawa and pairs perfectly with the separately sold Gundam Exia and Gundam Kyrios.
The figure faithfully recreates Dynames’ signature weapon gimmicks, including the deployable head camera used for sniping, opening GN Missile launchers in the front skirt and knee armor, and the folding bipod on the GN Sniper Rifle. It also introduces an all-new METAL BUILD-original feature for the shoulder-mounted GN Full Shield. Multiple independently articulated joints allow the armor panels to spread in several directions like a cloak, creating more varied silhouettes for firing poses. The shields can even be positioned for prone sniping, while the two GN Beam Pistols can be stored inside the armor panels.
TAMASHII NATIONS also announced that the "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" 20th anniversary project is officially underway, raising the possibility of an expanded METAL BUILD lineup similar to the releases produced for the anime’s 10th anniversary.
