BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS collector toy division debuted prototypes of two new Mobile Suit Gundam 00 releases from its popular die-cast METAL BUILD line at the annual TAMASHII NATION 2026 showcase: Gundam Kyrios and the GN ARMS TYPE-K OPTION SET. Preorders for Gundam Kyrios are expected to open soon through the official Premium Bandai online store.
Gundam Kyrios is one of the third-generation Gundams developed by the private armed organization Celestial Being. Its pilot, Allelujah Haptism, is a genetically enhanced Super Soldier and former research subject. Mechanical designer Takayuki Yanase supervised the prototypes displayed in both MS Form and Flight Form. Since Kyrios features a relatively straightforward transformation—and the METAL BUILD line already has experience tackling Zeta Gundam—there is good reason to expect a complete transformation without replacement parts. The MS Form display also showcased its GN Beam Submachine Gun, forearm-mounted GN missiles, and transforming GN Shield.
The other major reveal, the GN ARMS TYPE-K, is an original design created for the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 20th anniversary project. The previously released TYPE-E and TYPE-D are both large Gundam support machines that appeared in the original series, while the TYPE-K was designed specifically for Gundam Kyrios. The prototype was displayed docked with Kyrios in Flight Form, creating an all-new large-scale fighter configuration. Its MS Form combination and any unique heavy armaments have yet to be revealed.
