"Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" has cemented its place as a blockbuster in the iconic Gundam franchise, outperforming Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space, earning 2.68 billion yen in just over two weeks of screening in Japan.

In honor of the film's theatrical release, this unique bundle includes a clear color version of the legendary mobile suit, providing fans with a piece of Gundam history, as well as an exclusive "theatrical edition" box art displaying one of the film's key arts.

The Destiny Gundam SpecII model kit is a marvel of engineering, designed to replicate the advanced mobility and formidable arsenal of its on-screen counterpart. 

Key features include:

Enhanced Articulation: Thanks to the double joints in the torso, the model can replicate the distinctive forward bending action that fans have come to associate with the Destiny Gundam Spec II.

Improved Range of Motion: The side armor is ingeniously designed to slide backward, preventing interference with the legs and ensuring an unrestricted range of motion.

Symbolic Accoutrements: True to its iconic status, the model includes the "Wings of Light" and the beam effect for the palm beam cannon "Palma Fiocina" as clear parts, capturing the essence of Destiny Gundam Spec II's power and grace.

Versatile Hand Parts: The kit offers hand parts capable of gripping weapons and an open hand specifically for the "Palma Fiocina" pose, adding to the display possibilities.

Rich Armament Array: The model comes equipped with an extensive arsenal, including the MMI-714 "Arondight" Beam Sword, a high-energy long-range beam cannon, a beam boomerang, and more, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses and scenarios.

This extensive accessory pack allows builders to replicate practically any scene or position from "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM," making the HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam SpecII [Clear Color] a must-have for both collectors and fans. With its blend of aesthetic splendor, intricate accessories, and tribute to the Gundam tradition, this model kit exemplifies the Gundam series' ongoing popularity and ability to inspire creativity and enthusiasm in fans throughout the world.
