Take your collection to new heights with Bandai’s MGSD Destiny Gundam model kit (EAN code: 4573102720276). This prestigious kit marks the return of the iconic robot piloted by Shinn Asuka in a version that redefines the standards of miniature plastic engineering. For the first time, this model combines Chibi proportions with the internal mechanical complexity characteristic of Master Grade (MG) kits.
At the heart of this model lies a complete internal skeleton (Inner Frame) of exceptional robustness, enabling realistic armour-sliding movements when the arms and legs are bent. The massive light wings at the rear incorporate a telescopic extension mechanism that allows the robot’s wingspan to be deployed in spectacular fashion. Entirely moulded from coloured injection-moulded plastic, this model assembles without glue or paint. It features superb faceted transparent parts (Real Metallic Gloss Injection) that catch the light on the sensors, making this little giant an absolute visual centrepiece.
