MG ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam Extreme Blast Mode

The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam is the latest and greatest in ZAFT’s Mobile Suit technology. As seen in the closing chapters of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam is a further development of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam. ZAFT swapped out the Silhouette System for a single, vast loadout designed to fit any scenario. The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam uses the latest Voiture Luminere propulsion system mounted inside an improved version of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam‘s wing system. This combination grants the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam immense maneuverability and creates the iconic Wings of Light effect.

• MA-BAR73/S High Energy Beam Rifle

Articulation –

This Extreme Blast Mode version of the MG Destiny Gundam features silver-plated frame parts, representing the activation of the Mobile Suit’s Phase Shift. The MG Destiny Gundam provides builders with a complete inner frame supported by polycaps to create a wide assortment of poses. The model’s double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs ensure a dynamic-looking display. The Destiny Gundam can spread its wings just as it does in the anime, thanks to Bandai’s clever engineering. The M2000GX High Energy Long-Range Beam Cannon comes attached to an articulated arm that allows builders to position the weapon for firing without removal. Use the included display base to take full advantage of the MG Destiny Gundam’s posability with some awesome flying action!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam’s loadout primarily consists of improved versions of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam’s Sihouette Weapons. Attached to the Mobile Suit’s back is the MMI-714 “Arondight” Beam Sword, developed from the Sword Impulse’s MMI-710 Excalibur. The Arondight is strong enough to slice even massive Mobile Suits like the Destroy Gundam in half! The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam shares new equipment with its sister suit, the ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam, including the “Solidus Fulgor” Beam Shield and the “Palma Fiocina” Palm Beam Cannons. There are tons more included in this kit, so be sure to get your hands on a copy when available next!
