The ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam joins Bandai Spirits' prestigious METAL ROBOT SPIRITS collection, completing the elite quartet of mobile suits that defined the climax of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This release represents the materialization of one of the saga's most significant units. The METAL ROBOT SPIRITS line is distinguished by merging the premium weight and quality of die-cast metal components with the exceptional articulation and detailed sculpting of THE ROBOT SPIRITS series.

This new figure is a must-have for collectors and fans of high-end Gundam merchandise.

Key Features
The figure features an entirely new sculpt, designed to be faithful to the sharp proportions and sleek silhouette seen in the anime. Its construction employs a combination of ABS and PVC plastics with die-cast metal components, which are strategically located in the internal skeleton and key joints. This choice of materials provides a high-end sense of weight and solidity, ensuring both durability and stability in poses.
The finish uses a complex coloration with multiple layers of paint in varied finishes (metallic, gloss, and matte) that create a deep sense of three-dimensional realism. Pre-applied markings and decals are distributed throughout the body with industrial precision, a cornerstone of the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS line's value.

Background and Specifications
ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam
The ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam is a prototype assault mobile suit developed by ZAFT. Although it belongs to the "Third Stage" of development, it was politically classified as a "Second Stage" unit to conceal its Hyper-Deuterion Engine, a hybrid nuclear propulsion system that grants it a nearly limitless power supply. Its primary weapon is an enhanced version of the DRAGOON (Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network) system, which, thanks to a new quantum communication system, allows pilots without extraordinary spatial awareness to effectively control the remote weapons. The arsenal is completed with a beam rifle, beam javelins, "Solidus Fulgor" beam shield generators, and CIWS cannons. Its mechanical design is the work of Kunio Okawara.
Rey Za Burrel
The pilot of the Legend Gundam, Rey Za Burrel, is a clone of Al Da Flaga, just like Rau Le Creuset. His origin condemns him to a short life and a deep existential crisis. Raised by Gilbert Durandal, Rey professes absolute loyalty to him and blindly supports the "Destiny Plan," a project that would assign social roles based on DNA. During the final battle, a confrontation with Kira Yamato makes him realize that his own individuality refutes genetic determinism. In a final act of free will, Rey fatally shoots Durandal before perishing alongside him in the collapse of the Messiah fortress.
