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 Freedom Gundam’s wing system. This combination grants the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam immense maneuverability and creates the iconic Wings of Light effect.
Included alongside the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam for accessories:
- MA-BAR73/S High Energy Beam Rifle
- Anti-Beam Coating Shield
- M2000GX High Energy Long-Range Beam Cannon
- MMI-714 “Arondight” Beam Sword
- MX2351 “Solidus Fulgor” Beam Shield Effect
- MMI-X340 “Palma Fiocina” Palm Beam Cannon Replacement Hands x2
- RQM60F Flash Edge 2″ Beam Boomerang x2
- 1/144 Shinn Asuka Figure

Articulation –
The RG Destiny Gundam was one of the earliest Bandai models to utilize pre-molded inner frame pieces in its assembly. These parts combine hard and soft plastics to create large movable joint sections, to which builders apply additional frame pieces and armor over the pre-molded parts. The RG Destiny Gundam uses twice as many pieces as its High Grade counterpart, providing much greater color accuracy on the 1/144th scale. The RG Destiny Gundam hosts countless articulation points within its slender frame, providing builders with extreme posing potential. The Destiny Gundam also features several armor sliding gimmicks for a truly dynamic feel.
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
Each weapon features updated designs loaded with surface detail without straying from the silhouette of the source material. These weapons feature the same excellent color separation as the Destiny Gundam, providing some of the best-looking 1/144 scale weapons Bandai has ever made! The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam’s loadout primarily consists of improved versions of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam’s Sihouette Weapons. Attached to its back is the MMI-714 “Arondight” Beam Sword, developed from the Sword Impulse’s MMI-710 Excalibur. Like its predecessor, the Arondight is more than 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’s tons more included in this kit, so be sure to get your hands on a copy when available next!
