It's been a while ever since my last gunpla review eh? But now here we are, with the review of the HGCE Destiny Gundam, Heine Westenfluss Custom.
The color scheme used for this kit is just striking in a very good way. Gone is the bland classic Gundam color scheme (blue, white, red), replaced with a bright orange that makes the Destiny look more brave and fiery than the original color palette. To be honest, I actually prefer Heine's color scheme more than Shinn's! Except the red plastic looks like bootleg plastic... the texture is indeed Bandai but the color is Daban. Needs repainting to make it pop more.
The only thing that really sucked about this is that Heine commited not living in battle. Had he survived, we would've seen this big bad fiery boi in action.

The build of this kit is just amazing. 12/10 levels of amazing. Sticker use is minimal, so it's on the IWAE tier. Speaking about that... introducing the new sticker usage tier:
IWAE: Minimal use, or just great usage of stickers
OK: Average usage amounts
SANDWICH Y LIMON (basically Ave Satani): Just plain horrendous when it comes to stickers
Back to the review. As a REVIVE kit, Destiny shows a lot of fulfilled promise and a great swivel capability. Parts separation is very noice, the only thing this kit needs is panel lining. Not to mention polycap usage here is so minimal that it made the joints boner solid. I'm not even kidding, the connections are pretty tight!
Destiny itself has back issues just like Strike Freedom and Justice, so it requires an action base to display, or you can simply fiddle with the footing to make it stand.
Articulations
When it comes to the amount of SWIVEL, Destiny Revive's swivels are notably top-notch.
