Gunpla Lineup July 2026: HG 1/144 GOUF IGNITED (HEINE WESTENFLUSS CUSTOM)

July 2026 brings an exciting addition to the Gunpla lineup with the arrival of the HG 1/144 GOUF IGNITED (HEINE WESTENFLUSS CUSTOM). Inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, this brand-new High Grade release modernizes one of ZAFT's most recognizable mobile suits with updated engineering, improved articulation, and impressive action features.

Whether you're building a Gundam SEED Destiny collection or looking for a unique orange-colored mobile suit to stand out on your display shelf, this kit deserves a closer look.

Unlike the original 2005 release, this new HGCE version features an entirely updated mold with Bandai's latest engineering. The kit utilizes the SEED Action System, allowing dynamic poses inspired directly by scenes from Gundam SEED Destiny.

Notable features include:

• Newly designed HGCE frame with improved articulation
  
• SEED Action System for expressive action poses
  
• Beam Sword storage and deployment without part swapping
  
• Slayer Whip included in both extended and curved configurations
  
• Heat effect reproduced through color-separated plastic parts
  
• Shield and weapon loadout faithful to the anime
  
• Compatible 3mm backpack connection for customization
  
• Open right hand for Gatling firing poses

Why This Kit Stands Out

Heine Westenfluss is remembered as one of ZAFT's elite pilots, making his custom GOUF Ignited one of the most distinctive mobile suits in Gundam SEED Destiny. Its vibrant orange armor immediately separates it from standard ZAFT units while maintaining the aggressive silhouette that made the GOUF Ignited popular among SEED fans.

Community discussions have been especially positive since Bandai revealed the new mold. Builders appreciate the significant upgrade in proportions, articulation, and overall detail compared to the older HG release, with many calling it a long-awaited HGCE revival.
