In the series Gundam Seed Destiny, Destiny was the mid-season upgrade to Shinn's Impulse. While it's likely this design was intended as the lead gundam(it's name is in the title of the show) there was a lot of behind the scenes politics during the production of the show, and it's believed that Shinn was written out of being main character midway through, and his spot was replaced by Kira Yamato, who piloted the Strike Freedom which became the lead gundam for the series, and battled the Destiny.
I like the Destiny's "tears of blood". Probably symbolic due to Shinn's suffering and hatred throughout the series (not to mention his spotlight got stolen)
@saikodetsu55 lol...I watched it over again and I got what you meant! lol yet again.... 'to kick things off with the leg', great gunpla kits + sense of humor = one of 'THE' best gunpla reviewer on youtube!
@supersmashbeasts oh i see, that bites... mainly because the manual specifically says that you are supposed to put it on the wings :P personally i havent broken any kits so far. just a few minor broken pieces here and there but so far i was able to fix everything with relative ease.
He lives in Japan .. so theoretically he should be a bit more accustom to the gunpla culture. He also said in one of his videos that he got into Gundams and gunpla when when a friend gave him the DVD of a older Gundam Show(The one featuring Ground Gundam I think)
So? It re-purposes various design elements from different Gundams. I think it's fair to say that their have been so many Gundam and mobile suit designs that their is no way to create a completely original design anymore. Besides, it's head is a completely unique design, something that no other gundam other than the Turn A pulls off.
@bvolcano723 it's because the mobile suits are slim and sleek, right? the legs on Seed mobile suits are long and has good curves, lol...it's like I'm talking about super models!
Even the MG has problems. Those little rods can't even hold of the Dragoons (much less put em in a more anime accurate pose), and doesn't even have wings of light. The Destiny does. I've always believed that Bandai and Sunrise acknowledge the Destiny as the lead of the show (despite the SF getting a PG), and were willing to put it in the 30th Anniversary video.
Dunno what it is with the SEED Destiny Special Edition kit stands, but none of them are any good. Broke both the Strike Freedom FBM and Destiny EBM stands in various places because of weight and positioning. The good news is that Strike Freedom's display connectors can fit in the Action Base stands. The bad news is there's no such luck for Destiny. Still, it's a beautiful unit, and they did a great job in the MG replication.
1.love the close up of destiny box 2,hope that was become a thumbnail for the website 3,this inner frame color should be on infinity justice 4.looking down and crying 5.rrobbert how you make the camera focus something close but on the background blurry? 6.and is that beam sword effect color is ornage red sunset color?
I've Seen Original, Zeta, Char's Counterattack, 0083, Wing, X, Seed, Destiny, 00, all of Unicorn so far, and all of Age so far. Also, even if those were the only gundam shows I'd seen, all one has to do is look at the line-art and compare and contrast. I fail to see how only seeing Seed and 00 would disqualify anyone. Also I highly doubt he's been a fan for 15 years, Wing premiered Gundam outside of Japan in 2000, his video was made in 2011, he'd have to be a fan since 1996.
The figures is slightly easier to paint if you primed it prior to painting. But still, I'd rather not paint that, how often do we get clear figures of the pilots that comes with the kit anyway?
if your buying the strike freedom just buy the regular one while the destiny buy the EBM but if you can afford them both then just buy the both of them
I remember when I saw stella "hope I got here namr right" dies and he cared her body to the whater lake I cried so much as much as a 3 years old girl got her candy stolen .... in a bank hist ... with explosions all around her damn he made me sempsise with him so much
does anyone else think Destiny's face looks like an evil clown? when i think of evil clowns, i think of Chibodee's backstory episode from g gundam...... hyuuuurghhh clown phobia is completely legit
the only thing I didn't like about this kit is the gimmik that they made in the waist part where you press it and the legs spread out... if just feel fragile while moving the legs :(
@bvolcano723 hands down, the Seed designs are just so appealing! the Seed gundam roster looks great and they are powerful as well, it would have been a perfect line up... but they made two very imbalanced gundams... freedom and strike freedom...
the main downside to this kit is the leg mechanism. having build the regular mg destiny and the leg mechanism fails to do whats it supposed to do. otherwise everything else seems sound
I know, you look at old Strike Freedom toys and models, they are very poorly put together. It wasn't until the Master Grade came out that we had a Strike Freedom where the dragoons detached. Think about that, the main thing that differentiated it from the original Freedom was not included until in any toys or models until the Master Grade came out. That's embarrassing.
@bvolcano723 that0s the only thing worth watching in seed destiny...oh and don't let me start about that budget-burning finger the destiny ripped off...
Shinn was a lot like a train wreck you saw coming, happening in slow motion. You didn't like how he was developing, but your heart went out to him nevertheless. The more dickish he became, the more you regretted investing in him. Kira is vastly more likable, but you just haveta dislike him on principle-- he Walks on Water. The choice between their mecha is easier for me-- Destiny, hands down.
@michu070 it actually isn't THAT OP...compared to the God of Spam...a quote from a reviewer named Z: "Ah, Destiny Gundam…the Gundam that is so balanced that it excels at nothing"
can it even be called a rip-off if it´s designed by the same person? (because people think like that the whole Huckebein series got sent to kingdom come)
The "title" Gundam which is not the "lead" Gundam... *sigh* Title = Gundam SEED Destiny. Lead Gundam = Strike Freedom. Destiny Gundam? = It's the "villain" mech. Well, actually Shinn was the main protagonist for the first half of the series until Kira showed up...
I saw the video a LONG time ago, he's full of crap. He rants on Tomino not being there to desgin the thing, when Tomino is not a mech designer, and the mech designer is the same as original gundam. As for 00, both Dynames and Cheridum had the same dual pistols as Strike Noir, Kyrios was Zeta with a color change, Seravee's extra arms were from The O, 00 Raiser's silhoute with GN Sword III is the same as Wing Zero Custom's, I could go on. Also, name me another gundam with the Destiny's head design

@xMurderU they come with stickers and water decals but if u think that some of the parts need painting then go ahead
Wow so many awesome mechanisms in there, this could be a pg
this is such an impressive kit they should give more kits a frame with this much detail
I like the Destiny's "tears of blood". Probably symbolic due to Shinn's suffering and hatred throughout the series (not to mention his spotlight got stolen)
from personal experience, i say the clear figures shouldn't be too hard to paint. just make sure you prime them first before you start painting!
Those wings of light effect parts are actually very good looking. I don't remember similar effect part that HG 0 Gundam has to be that good looking.

I'm pretty pleased with the New HG with the pink wings.
He lives in Japan .. so theoretically he should be a bit more accustom to the gunpla culture. He also said in one of his videos that he got into Gundams and gunpla when when a friend gave him the DVD of a older Gundam Show(The one featuring Ground Gundam I think)
@mrcipher00 Beam blade parts are the same color as a normal beam saber, they just look weird in the video.

i nvr really built a gundam before so i have a question about the colors: do they come with colors or do i have to get some paint n color it on?
@SpardaBlade13 exactly! one of the feet on mine also is so loose it rarely stays on.
@Rakolai it's not look weird.it's look pretty cool,in my opinion..

great model.can't wait to have and build it..dear santa...
1.love the close up of destiny box
2,hope that was become a thumbnail for the website
3,this inner frame color should be on infinity justice
4.looking down and crying
5.rrobbert how you make the camera focus something close but on the background blurry?
6.and is that beam sword effect color is ornage red sunset color?

@mApppel I kept trying to hold it on the action base by the crotch, when you're supposed to use the wings.
im already sold on the Destiny and Striek Freedom!
Great model, can't wait to order it
I wonder if I can just avoid putting the mechanism in the waist... Is that possible?
best review yet
@detectiveconan996 I put it on the action base by the crotch instead of the backpack, the weight shifted on it, and it crashed to the floor.
The figures is slightly easier to paint if you primed it prior to painting. But still, I'd rather not paint that, how often do we get clear figures of the pilots that comes with the kit anyway?
Poor Infinite Justice, he should get a special edition too
Wow. What a kit.
@DanDood666 lol i agree he wasnt tat special but he was a hell of a pilot! i hope they put like pink color for the joints or something flashy! hahaha
if your buying the strike freedom just buy the regular one while the destiny buy the EBM but if you can afford them both then just buy the both of them
Was this filmed with the iPhone? The colours look warmer than usual and especially the beam parts look orange instead of pink.
Any plans to review the Sword Impulse?
Destiny is like justice, strike freedom and force impulse made into a gundam
@MrChubs209 that call the palm of fiokina..i call it the palm of destiny.
Painting the clear figures is easy just remember to put on some primer.
I remember when I saw stella "hope I got here namr right" dies and he cared her body to the whater lake I cried so much as much as a 3 years old girl got her candy stolen .... in a bank hist ... with explosions all around her
damn he made me sempsise with him so much
@supersmashbeasts really? thats a shame... my first kit was the strike freedom full burst mode and its still sitting pretty on its action base^^
does anyone else think Destiny's face looks like an evil clown?
when i think of evil clowns, i think of Chibodee's backstory episode from g gundam...... hyuuuurghhh
clown phobia is completely legit
8:29
SHINING FINGER!
Also can you do a review on the destiny impulse?
@BlitzkriegOmega haha fair enough, beam spam is pretty unfair
i broke cannon handle the first day of completing it XD. for some reason it was super stiff for me, oh well works well without the handle still anway
Hey Should I buy the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode or the Destiny Extreme Blast Mode?
the only thing I didn't like about this kit is the gimmik that they made in the waist part where you press it and the legs spread out... if just feel fragile while moving the legs :(
Infinite justice has the same mechanism as the destiny extreme burst mode for the chest
@f2r14 well he was going crazy especially during the last battle
@dantekicksdemonass yeah I agree I have this too and it really has a tight joint :3
@bvolcano723 hands down, the Seed designs are just so appealing! the Seed gundam roster looks great and they are powerful as well, it would have been a perfect line up... but they made two very imbalanced gundams... freedom and strike freedom...
@DanDood666 Amen to that, he should have it too.
I LOL at the end, would be funnier if its something like this:
Freedom : wait, how come you got wing effects?
well rrobbert184, what do you think if the metallic silver part is made up of metal?
Even though Turn X has a Shining Finger?
Didn't shinn have a type of shining finger move??
happy beam cannon is happy
0:36 A PUN!!!!
This was my first MG. Let's say it didn't last long..
the only part i find weird about the extreme blast is that the destiny never had silver it had regular gray
@supersmashbeasts What happened?
I don’t see why you split the suits
How awesome Destiny would be if it was made in Perfect Grade! :D
whats the diffrence
the main downside to this kit is the leg mechanism. having build the regular mg destiny and the leg mechanism fails to do whats it supposed to do. otherwise everything else seems sound
My friend wants this... now I know why...
I like destiny's wings.,that's all.
Does the MG Destiny Gundam have a opening cockpit.
Yes it have
Boi how long you wait for a answer
My mg destiny gundam knee parts won't fit
epic model. op gundam

the head looks like GP02
especially when he tried to kill his girlfriend's little sister
"But once I do that.... the skirt falls off."
meh of all the beam rifles i feel that desinty's is the least impressive, but then again it has that big cannon, so who needs that rifle?
@michu070 it actually isn't THAT OP...compared to the God of Spam...a quote from a reviewer named Z: "Ah, Destiny Gundam…the Gundam that is so balanced that it excels at nothing"
can it even be called a rip-off if it´s designed by the same person?
(because people think like that the whole Huckebein series got sent to kingdom come)
man this kit cost around 100 bucks now :'(
Heeeeey gundam
turn x 's is more "concealed",it really tried to be a move on his own...SEED just plain stolen it from g gundam,without reserves
The "title" Gundam which is not the "lead" Gundam... *sigh*
Title = Gundam SEED Destiny.
Lead Gundam = Strike Freedom.
Destiny Gundam? = It's the "villain" mech. Well, actually Shinn was the main protagonist for the first half of the series until Kira showed up...
Hey rrobert184 can you show us your face because I want to see what you look like.
Impulse and Destiny are awesome gundams to bad that shinn was always such a crybaby
I saw the video a LONG time ago, he's full of crap. He rants on Tomino not being there to desgin the thing, when Tomino is not a mech designer, and the mech designer is the same as original gundam. As for 00, both Dynames and Cheridum had the same dual pistols as Strike Noir, Kyrios was Zeta with a color change, Seravee's extra arms were from The O, 00 Raiser's silhoute with GN Sword III is the same as Wing Zero Custom's, I could go on. Also, name me another gundam with the Destiny's head design
from your opinion, which is better? the normal MG, Extreme Blast Mode or the Real Grade version?
i want to buy them.., sadly i can only afford one.
