FW GUNDAM CONVERGE Destiny Gundam Spec II & Zeus Silhouette

Among food toy collectors and Gundam fans alike, FW GUNDAM CONVERGE has long stood as the go-to series for dense detail in pocket-sized form—and Bandai Candy Division’s latest release brings fans straight into the climax of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM. Launching for preorder on July 22, 2025, the new FW GUNDAM CONVERGE Destiny Gundam Spec II & Zeus Silhouette Set is a must-have for collectors looking to commemorate the film’s most spectacular mecha upgrade.

Destiny Reborn – The Spec II Story

For fans of SEED FREEDOM, the return of Shinn Asuka in the ZGMF/A-42S2 Destiny Gundam Spec II was one of the most hyped moments of the movie. Following the heavy damage sustained during the original Destiny’s final battle, the Eternal secretly salvaged the unit and entrusted it to the Actaeon Industries for a complete overhaul.

From a story standpoint, the upgrade wasn’t just cosmetic—it symbolized Shinn’s redemption arc. The cockpit was replaced with a next-gen all-around type, while its armor used newer, energy-enhancing materials that deepened the tone of the VPS (Variable Phase Shift) coloring. While much of its signature weaponry remained intact, the mobile suit was now compatible with the monstrous Zeus Silhouette, pushing Destiny’s power far beyond anything fans had seen.

What’s Inside the Box?

The FW GUNDAM CONVERGE Destiny Gundam Spec II & Zeus Silhouette set includes:

Destiny Gundam Spec II main unit
Zeus Silhouette equipment pack, including:
- Gigantic railgun
- Backpack-mounted spare barrel
- Leg-mounted propulsion units
Display base for supported poses
Swappable weapon parts, including:
- Folded/extended anti-ship beam sword
- Long-range high-energy beam cannon
- Beam rifle mounted to right hand

From a collecting standpoint, this set makes the most of its compact scale (approx. 2.2–2.4 inches / 5.5–6 cm) by layering sharp detailing in the armor panels, weapon texture, and facial sculpt—especially the striking “blood-tear” eye design of the Destiny Spec II.

I’ve handled numerous FW Converge sets in the past, and I can confidently say Bandai has been steadily increasing sculpt fidelity and paint depth over the last two years. The gradation in the red wing paintwork, for example, now looks more premium than ever, even in a palm-sized form. It’s the kind of detail you appreciate more the closer you look.

Transforming Your Display

Though the set doesn’t allow for a standalone Zeus Silhouette flight mode, it still impresses by allowing the Destiny Gundam to be outfitted with the full Zeus silhouette gear. The transformation is done via replacement parts, making for a sturdier and more visually dynamic final display. The massive railgun stretches dramatically over the shoulder, giving this bite-sized figure a commanding shelf presence.

The included stand is a welcome bonus, letting you stabilize the more heavily-equipped version in action-ready poses. Whether displayed in its default configuration or fully decked out with the Zeus silhouette, this is a fantastic desk-sized figure for fans of SEED FREEDOM.

Conclusion:

This release is a shining example of how far Bandai’s food toy division has pushed the envelope. It combines rich story relevance, beautifully retooled sculpt work, and functional interactivity into one affordable, collectible-sized product. As a long-time GUNDAM CONVERGE collector, I can tell you that releases like this tend to sell out fast—especially those linked to theatrical events.

If you’re building a SEED-themed micro-diorama, completing your Spec II lineup, or simply love alternate-form displays, this is one not to miss. I’m personally planning to pose mine flanking the Strike Freedom Type II from the same film once it arrives.

Stay tuned for updates on retailer listings—especially if Bandai Candy or Premium Bandai opens international orders. And for those outside Japan, proxy shopping services will likely be your best bet.
