The front skirt looks a bit different in the photos —
that's because mine is an early release before the design error was corrected (a rare find in its own right!).

This is the HGUC Zeta Plus (Test Image Color), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's commonly known as Amuro's personal unit, and the color scheme gives it a fresh feel. Structurally, though, it's completely identical to the standard release HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version.

Since this is a 100% color variant, for a more detailed look at its features and transformation process, check out the HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version review— for this review, you really just need to check out the updated color scheme. One thing worth noting is that, unusually for an HGUC kit, waterslide decals are included instead of seals, and the photos in this review were taken with the waterslide decals applied.

For reference, the HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version had a bit of a drama early on — there were molding errors on the head and front skirt, and it got recalled almost immediately after release. (related notice) Since I built the first print before the recall, the front skirt looks different in the comparison photos above. This kit is based on the post-recall HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version, so the current retail version has 100% identical molding to this kit.

Anyway, it's a color variant, but Amuro's color scheme is cleanly reproduced and the overall quality is solid. If you're a fan of the Zeta Plus series, this is definitely a kit worth picking up. :-)
