Description
The Bandai SD Gundam EX-Standard #009 ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam is a super-deformed snap-fit model kit based on the titular mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This kit features stylish SD proportions with newly designed joints for improved posability, along with a weapon-combination gimmick and parts compatible with HG 1/144 kits. Ideal for beginners, this simplified build requires no glue or painting and assembles from just 39 pieces across 5 runners. The Destiny Gundam was piloted by Shinn Asuka and served as ZAFT's most advanced mobile suit during the Second Alliance-PLANT War.
Key Features
- Enhanced SD Proportions: Redesigned super-deformed styling with improved articulation over previous SD Gundam lines, allowing a wide variety of action poses.
- HG-Compatible Weaponry: All weapons and accessories can be swapped with High Grade 1/144 Gunpla kits for expanded customization options.
- Weapon Combination Gimmick: The high energy beam rifle, long-range beam cannon, and anti-ship sword can be combined for a unique combined-weapon display.
- Anti-Ship Sword Back Mount: The MMI-714 Arondight beam sword can be mounted on the kit's back for storage poses, replicating the mobile suit's in-show configuration.
- Snap-Fit Assembly: No glue or painting required - color-molded PS and PE plastic parts snap together for a quick, beginner-friendly build.
- Foil Sticker Sheet: Includes foil stickers for color-accurate markings and detail straight out of the box.
