Straight build photos

The Meteor Unit that appeared in the original Gundam SEED showed up in Destiny as well, and sure enough, the 1/400 Meteor Unit got a Destiny version release too. And just as you'd expect, it came out as a simple variation with no structural changes whatsoever.
The basic construction is the same as the 1/400 Meteor Unit reviewso please refer to that for details. As you can see in the photos above, the molded colors are just slightly darker, and the seals are a bit different in size and placement. The three Gundam Collection MS figures that came with the original have also been swapped out for Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice, and Akatsuki.
It's pretty much a rehash with nothing really new, but the quality itself is still solid. For ¥2000 you get three MS figures, plus pretty much all the opening and transformation features are reproduced — so it does have its own value as a kit. :-)
