The nose section and vertical tail fin sculpt have been changed.

This is the HGUC Base Jabber (Zeta Gundam Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Starting from the standard retail release of the Base Jabber [Unicorn Ver.], this version features changed molded colors and newly added sculpts. The nose section and vertical tail fins have been redesigned.

First off, the nose has been changed from a pointed cockpit shape to a broader, cover-style form. The vertical tail fins at the rear are now shorter in height but wider side-to-side. On top of that, the molded color has been switched to a soft, pastel pink, making this quite a significant departure from the original kit in a number of ways. It pairs nicely with the various HGUC kits from Zeta Gundam. Everything else — the boarding gimmick, landing gear, and stand connection method — remains the same as before, so for this review you'll mainly want to focus on the color changes and the new sculpt areas.

With new sculpts added on top of everything else, this turned out to be a color variant with a solid sense of originality. If you're collecting HGUC Zeta Gundam series kits, this seems like a pretty fun item to add to the mix. :-)
