This is the MG Turn A Gundam (Moonlight Butterfly Ver.), a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a bundle combining the standard release MG Turn A Gundamand the Club G release MG Turn A Gundam expansion effect unit "Moonlight Butterfly" into one kit. The molded color of the MG Turn A Gundam has been changed to pearl.

The pearl molded color on the MG Turn A Gundam doesn't quite feel as premium as you might expect. Despite being called "pearl," it doesn't actually have pearl mixed in — it's more like an ivory pearlescent finish. On the flip side, the material overall has hardened up somewhat like gloss injection, which makes cleaning up the gates a bit more of a pain.

The MG Moonlight Butterfly is identical to the separately sold version, and unlike the main body, the stand parts are done in a proper pearl clear injection with actual pearl in it. The hologram-coated Moonlight Butterfly still puts on a dazzling rainbow-colored light show depending on the angle and lighting conditions. The connection to the main body is solid enough that you can pose it freely with the Moonlight Butterfly attached without any worries.

Since this is essentially a bundle of existing kits with no new parts, the main thing to check out is the changed molded color. As long as you don't set your expectations for the pearl finish too high, this seems like a pretty nice and hassle-free way to enjoy the MG Turn A Gundam with the Moonlight Butterfly attached. :-)
