Coming out this November from Bandai is the 1/144 scale High Grade Destiny Gundam. I dont have any HG models in my collection and have never really been too keen on them - they are aimed at two completely different audiences - one is the school kid (aged 10) who doesn't have too much money to throw around ( and generally doesn't have the skill or finances to make models and just end up snapping the pieces together without painting). The other target of the HG series is funnily enough the expert modeler - they find challenge in making these small scale models look good by making or buying custom joints, carving pieces off here and there and what have you - definitely not for busy people! ;-)

Destiny Gundam is one of my favotite mecha from the series (My favotite is the Dom squardon). But I notice there is a huge flaw in its design: all its weapons must be hand-held to be used. The Beam Boomerang, that huge sword, cannon, even the palm cannon. What a dissapointment! When Justice sliced off both Destiny's hands in the last episode, what can Destiny possibly do other than just firing the vulcan on its head?

I think the good guys' machines are just too strong to be beaten anyway. Who can beat Akatsuki, when the main cannon of a battleship can't bring it down too? Ha! That's a bit too "extravaganza", don't you think?

Anyway, the 1/100 model is great, so goes for the HCM version as well. Almost all the details are there. Can't wait for the Master Grade kit! and Akatsuki's kit as well! When is Bandai going to release that one?
