Bandai Hobby Extreme Blast Mode Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Model Kit (1/100 Scale) (BAN151244)

Absolutely one of my favorite kits Ive bought my husband. Looks amazing and so worth it. And no issue with instructions.

The wings are almost opalecant the build is straight forward and shelf presence wise it takes up to most of my perfect grade kits!

I had originally bought this kit along with the Gundam Master Grade Infinite Justice Gundam 1/100 Scale Model Kit , but, as luck would have it, the vendor I bought it from was sold out at the time. Fortunately for me, I came across an online vendor who had it, and for a good price. And let me tell you, I was all over that like a hobo on a ham sandwich. After waiting about 2 weeks for it to arrive (it shipped straight from Japan), I wasted absolutely no time in building it, doing a full initial assembly in around 20 hours (sanding and polishing, still working on the paint supplies), and results were breathtaking. Everything about the kit was an absolute joy to handle, from the holographic Wings of Light to the internals. And, as is the norm with these Master Grade kits, the range-of-motion is near-flawless (can't say perfect, as it does fall short in a couple areas), allowing most any pose that comes to mind. Additionally, the kit comes with various effect parts, like the aforementioned Wings of Light parts, expanding the potential poses from a few sword swings and firing stances to various throwing poses, Palm Fiocina thrusts, and many others. Long story short, I'd buy this kit again, just because it was so much fun. -A bonus recommendation, get a couple Gundam Action Base 1 MG HG Black , and toss in either Gundam Master Grade Infinite Justice Gundam 1/100 Scale Model Kit or Gundam MG Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode Scale 1/100 and let 'em duke it out; the stands are interconnectable, making it easier for showdown dioramas!

Destiny extreme blast mode is a very worthwhile kit. It has excellent articulation all around and a great deal of accessories which give it a lot of variety. The chrome coated parts look really good and the gold, dry transfer decals add a great deal of depth and detail to an already excellent model. The wings of light, although difficult to connect, look spectacular. They are pink and blue transparent plastic with a gas-like effect in the right light or angle. The wings also dramatically increase destiny's wingspan and create a very imposing appearance. It comes with its own stand, similar to the one included with mg strike freedom and the backpack connection in very secure. Mg destiny extreme blast mode even comes with 3-inch transparent figures of shin and kira, which is a nice touch. An often mentioned flaw in this kit is the switch under the legs, which admitedly doesn't work that well, but it also doesn't detract from the model in any way and should not be seen as a deal breaker. Mg destiny extreme blast mode is a winner and a new favourite in my small but killer gunpla collection. Get one now, the price has never been better ($60!).

Was a hit with my grandson

The kit is solid, aged well, possible and really cool overall. The extras you get in this edition are bad. The wing effects fall off easy and detach, the hand lasers aren’t in blue and come in transparent. I really recommend it but build the whole thing, pose it, and then attach.

My husband love this as birthday gift. Great size, easy to follow instructions, and color accuracy.

It was a fun build all things considered but the articulation mainly around the knees isn’t to great well the legs in general aren’t the best but it’s very beautiful in the end also my base came snapped so that was no good
