The MG Destiny trio, now with the clear version joining in

This kit is the MG Destiny Gundam Heine Westernfluss Custom, released as a 2010 Gunpla Expo limited edition. The overall kit composition is identical to the standard version, with the only visual difference being the blue armor parts changed to orange. On top of that, the beam parts and dedicated stand have been changed to yellow — and that's really it compared to the standard version.

Considering that only a single main armor runner has had its color changed, the overall vibe does feel surprisingly different — but there's nothing particularly special about it, so it feels like it falls a bit short as a limited edition. The MG Destiny kit itself is decent quality and perfectly fun to build and enjoy, but it's hard to shake the feeling that it's a little underwhelming for a limited release. It would've been so much better if at least some of the other armor parts had slightly different molded colors from the original. Heck, it would've been nice if they'd at least thrown in the Wings of Light as a bonus...

If anything, the elaborate box art design feels more worth collecting than the kit itself.. ;;
It'll probably be an interesting enough limited edition for those who generally like bright and vibrant-colored kits, or for fans of Heine.
