The Core Splendor, beam rifle, anti-armor knife, and hand configuration are
the same as the RG Force Impulse Gundam, and as you'd expect, the Silhouette Flyer and shield are left out.

Separating the "Telescopic Barrel Extension Turret" and "Excalibur Laser Anti-Ship Sword" mounted on the Destiny Silhouette.
The Excalibur Laser Anti-Ship Sword is reused directly from the RG Sword Impulse Gundam.

The beam parts are also reused from the RG Sword Impulse Gundam.

So these are the parts that ended up being newly tooled for the Destiny Silhouette.

The only change to the main body is the forearm design —
the Flash Edge Beam Boomerang that was on the RG Sword Impulse Gundam's backpack has been moved to the forearm.

The beam shield has also been added as a newly tooled part.

Leftover parts

The main body's articulation is the same as the existing RG Impulse Gundams.

Together with the MG Destiny Impulse Gundam R released through Club G.
The backpacks look similar at first glance, but they're completely different designs.

This kit is the RG Destiny Impulse Gundam, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the Club G release of the RG Sword Impulse Gundamwith changed molded colors and added newly tooled parts. The Flash Edge Beam Boomerang that was on the RG Sword Impulse Gundam's backpack has been moved to the forearm, and a newly designed Destiny Silhouette has been applied.

At first glance, the Destiny Silhouette looks similar to the MG Destiny Impulse Gundam R's Destiny R Silhouette released through Club G, but look closely and you'll see it's actually a different design — a new, chunkier shape has been applied, and it can also mount the newly tooled Telescopic Barrel Extension Turret. The Excalibur Laser Anti-Ship Sword and beam parts are also reused from the RG Sword Impulse Gundam, and a beam shield has been added as a newly tooled part as well. In the end, with most of the backpack section and the forearms being all-new, there are actually quite a lot more newly tooled parts than you might expect.

The Destiny Silhouette can be deployed on its own, and you can also attach the RG Wings of Light released for the RG Destiny Gundam through Club G. The mount racks for the Telescopic Barrel Extension Turret and Excalibur Laser Anti-Ship Sword have some articulation to them, which allows for all kinds of dynamic poses.

The RG Impulse Gundam body's characteristics are the same as the existing RG Force/Sword Impulse, still showing excellent articulation and joint strength. Combined with the Destiny Silhouette, it's easy to pose and holds positions well, making this a really fun kit to play around with.

All in all, this is a great variation kit that shows more originality than expected. The overall build quality is top-notch too, so if the design appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
