This kit's effect set has glitter mixed in, giving it a more premium feel.

This kit is the MG Freedom Gundam Ver.2.0 Full Burst Mode Special Coating Ver., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release MG Freedom 2.0with a coating applied, bundled together with the MG Freedom Gundam Ver.2.0
Expansion Effect Setthat was released through Club G. The Wing Gundam-style stand that came with the original MG has been dropped, replaced by a clear blue Action Base.

So while there are no new parts, this is essentially a full-option coated Freedom Gundam 2.0 that bundles several kits together. All the characteristics are the same as the original kit, and you still need to watch out for the hip joint breaking — but overall it's a great-looking kit with solid quality. On top of that, the white titanium finish-style coating gives it an extra touch of luxury, and the effect parts also get the lamé clear molding treatment, showing off a sparkling, iridescent look that's quite different from the standard version.

So compared to the standard release, this Special Coating Ver. steps things up with coating + lamé clear + an Action Base thrown in as well. The coating also tightens up the tolerances, which actually makes the joint strength feel even more solid. Either way, if you're a fan of MG Freedom Gundam 2.0, this looks like a pretty tempting plated kit with a great overall package. :-)
