The figure, priced at 25,300 yen (tax included), reproduces the mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM with its joints glowing red during the final battle. Die-cast parts at the elbows and knees are plated to recreate the glow, while the outer armor is painted with a reddish tint to reflect it. Original markings are applied across the body to add detail. The set includes Wings of Light effect parts, allowing for recreation of battle scenes from the film. The figure stands approximately 140mm tall with a wingspan of about 400mm, and uses ABS, PVC, and die-cast materials. Sales begin with CTM advance sales on August 18 for Ocean Stage and above members, followed by a lottery for Sky Stage and above from August 24. An all-member lottery runs from September 3 to September 6. Post-event lotteries are planned for November. BANDAI SPIRITS also opened reservations for two other SEED FREEDOM figures: the METAL ROBOT魂 Z'Gok (SEED FREEDOM Ver.) at 20,900 yen and the Cavalier Aifrid at 18,700 yen, both shipping in December 2026.","whyItMatters":"The Destiny Gundam SpecII Final Battle Ver. is the first METAL ROBOT魂 release tied to TAMASHII NATION 2026, signaling BANDAI SPIRITS' continued focus on SEED FREEDOM merchandise two years after the film's record-breaking box office run.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe METAL ROBOT魂  Destiny Gundam SpecII Final Battle Ver. is one of several SEED FREEDOM figures announced this week.
