Robot Damashii - ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam

Stanley likes stuffs that go well under UV lightings and this Robot Damashii Destiny Gundam with effect parts, goes without saying is part of his collection. The second and upgraded Gundam piloted by Shinn Asuka in 'Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny', ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam appeared to be me like an all-in-one, more sinister looking Gundam with the combination of weapons used by Impulse Gundam from melee to long range armament. A drastic improvement to this Gundam used in the later stage of the anime would be the variable phase-shift armour and Hyper-Deuterion Nuclear Reactor which produced the cosmic effect called the 'Wings of Light'. All these fanciful idea provided a lot of gimmicks to Robot Damashii action figure.

Robot Damashii Destiny Gundam comes with a great deal of accessories like beam shield, beam rifle, beam launcher, beam sword, effect parts that attach to the wings, extra hands and even a stand. It highly articulated. However, in my opinion, I find the entire weight of accessories fully loaded, often threw the figure off balance and changing the weapons frequently caused other accessories to fall off. The effect parts like 'Wings of Light' would pull the thrusters downwards and I personally experienced difficulty posing the toy. Robot Damashii Destiny Gundam (125mm) somehow feels bigger/ taller than Robot Damashii I had handed previously. Maybe it's the long beam launcher, beam sword and 'Wings of Light', which took up more space on display.
