The "HG 1/144 Aryuzeus" Gunpla (Bandai Spirits), based on Aryuzeus from "Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash: The Witch of Circe," the second chapter of the theatrical anime film "Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash " (directed by Shuko Murase), a popular anime series from the "Gundam" franchise, was released on April 25th.
This Gunpla model kit, standing approximately 25 cm tall, recreates the transformation gimmick into flight form. By separating the external armor, it can also transform into the mass-produced ν Gundam. Price: 13,200 yen.
The Allyzeus primarily operates in flight form. Its exterior utilizes parts from prototype aircraft manufactured for testing during the development of the Penelope. As an alternative to the Minovsky flight unit, which was incomplete at the time of manufacture, it employs a total of 20 shelf nozzles, which are based on the plasma jet engine propulsion system of older engine technology that does not utilize I-field technology. These nozzles are placed in parallel throughout the aircraft, enabling high-speed flight comparable to that of the Penelope.
