Why it matters
Bandai is using the 20th anniversary project, announced the same day with a message from director Seiji Mizushima, to pair a new mold with a revised re-release rather than selling Kyrios alone.

METAL BUILD Gundam Kyrios was shown for the first time at TAMASHII NATION 2026 in Akihabara, with shipment scheduled for May 2027 and product details still to come. METAL BUILD Gundam Dynames is a re-release with the body sculpt and coloring unchanged, its set contents adjusted to match the suit's actions in the anime. The dedicated base carries a new marking design by Kanetake Ebikawa, and mechanical designer Takayuki Yanase supervised the modeling and gimmicks. Dynames stands about 180mm tall, costs 33,000 yen with tax, and pre-orders open on Premium Bandai at 12:00 on November 13, 2026, ahead of a January 2027 shipment. A METAL BUILD GN Arms TYPE-K Option Set also appeared at the event.
Kyrios is the variable machine piloted by Allelujah Haptism. The official X account teased it with the line "Emergency sortie soon. Wait for further reports--!" and no further specifications beyond the May 2027 shipment window.
Fan reaction split between the two suits. On Dynames, posts included "I don't have it so I really want it" and "I like its looks enough to put it in my top 5 Gundams." On Kyrios, comments included "Finally here! Kyrios!!" and "My favorite third-generation Gundam from 00's first season," with one post asking "At last, the long-awaited one! Does this mean I can hope for Virtue too...?"
Director Seiji Mizushima's anniversary message included the lines "Please wait with excitement for what will come out!" and "I'll do my best too, not to be outdone!!" Some replies read the message as a hint at animation work, with posts such as "Does this mean they're making something new!?" and "I'd be happy if something happens on the anime side too~."
Dynames ships with a GN Sniper Rifle and replacement bipod, GN Full Shield and GN Shield (left and right), four GN Beam Pistols with two holsters, two GN Beam Saber grips with effect parts, and a dedicated base set. The body is ABS, PVC, and die-cast. The price is up from the earlier release, which the coverage ties to the revised set contents.
