Bandai Spirits’ TAMASHII NATIONS has officially announced the release of the GX-133 Tryon 3 Gundam, the first Gundam model in the esteemed Super Alloy Soul series. Scheduled for release in November 2024, this model brings to life the iconic Tryon 3 Gundam from the popular anime “Gundam Build Fighters Try,” complete with transformation and combination mechanisms.
Background and Concept
The Tryon 3 Gundam, created by the Gundam modeler Minato Sakai from Osaka Tenkaichi Academy, showcases the pinnacle of the “Gunpla Shingata Ryu” techniques. This formidable machine is an extraordinary blend of innovative engineering and aesthetic design, transcending the conventional boundaries of Gundam models. Based on the ZZ Gundam, the Tryon 3 consists of three separate mechanical beasts: the lion-shaped “Land Tryon,” the manta ray-shaped “Sea Tryon,” and the eagle-shaped “Sky Tryon.” When the command “Tryon Combination” is given, these three machines unite to form the humanoid “Strongest Mobile Tryon 3,” reminiscent of the brave robots from the classic mecha series.
Design and Special Features
The GX-133 Tryon 3 Gundam in the Super Alloy Soul series leverages high-quality alloy parts and electroplated paint to enhance the robust mechanical feel. The detailed panel lines and layered designs add depth and complexity to the armor, making it stand out with a high density of details compared to its original depiction.
- Three Component Machines: The model includes the lion-type “Land Tryon,” the manta ray-type “Sea Tryon,” and the eagle-type “Sky Tryon,” each with its unique weaponry and articulation. The Land Tryon features electroplated parts to highlight the metallic texture of the lion’s head and claws.
- Complete Transformation Mechanism: Each machine can be played individually, featuring movable joints and intricate weaponry. The main attraction, however, is the fully integrated transformation mechanism that allows the three components to combine into the powerful Tryon 3 without additional parts.
- Highly Articulated Combined Form: Standing at approximately 21 cm (8.27 inches) tall when combined, the Tryon 3 maintains a high degree of articulation, allowing it to perform a variety of dynamic poses inspired by super robot anime. The model includes accessories to recreate signature moves, such as the “Boomerang” using detachable antenna parts and “Armored Punch” with jet effects and stands.
- Spectacular Sword: The Tryon 3’s ultimate attack, “Super Sword Hyper Minovsky,” is represented with effect parts that allow collectors to display the total 45 cm (17.72 inches) length of the beam sword, complete with a detailed hilt that can be removed from the lion head on the chest.
