Bandai Spirits is releasing a G-FRAME FA figure of the Destiny Gundam (ZGMF-X42S), the mobile suit piloted by Shin Asuka in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. The figure is a Premium Bandai exclusive, priced at 6,545 yen including tax, with shipping scheduled for March 2027. It stands about 110mm tall and includes the anti-ship sword MMI-714 Arondight Beam Sword, the long-range beam cannon M2000GX High-Energy Long-Range Beam Cannon, and the Voiture Lumiere system that reproduces the Wings of Light. The set includes one colored figure, partially assembled, and one piece of soda-flavored gum. The Destiny Gundam was developed by ZAFT under orders from Gilbert Durandal, chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council, and features the Hyper-Deuterion Engine and high mobility from the interplanetary propulsion system. Orders are also open simultaneously for the Destiny Gundam SpecII, the modified version that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, in a final battle image color scheme with metallic red frame parts. Both figures are part of the G-FRAME FA line, which emphasizes sharp modeling and articulation.
The Destiny Gundam figure is the first G-FRAME FA release for the SEED Destiny machine, and the SpecII version is the one Shin Asuka pilots after the Battle of Messiah. The SpecII's frame parts use metallic red to reflect operation at maximum output, and its beam sword blade uses pink metallic. Clear parts are used for the Wings of Light effects on both figures. The SpecII was refurbished by Erika and other engineers from Morgenroete Inc. after the original Destiny Gundam became inoperable. The refurbishment added a new fusion reactor for enhanced power and changed the VPS armor coloring to a red-orange hue in Compass colors. The original Destiny Gundam was developed by ZAFT to end the war with the Earth Alliance, incorporating the most advanced technology of the time. The G-FRAME FA line emphasizes sharp modeling and articulation, and both figures share the same set contents: one partially assembled colored figure and one piece of soda-flavored gum. Materials are ABS and MABS for the body and base set. Each figure measures approximately 110mm tall by 70mm wide and is for ages 15 and up. Both are Premium Bandai exclusives priced at 6,545 yen including tax, with shipping scheduled for March 2027.
