This kit is the HGUC Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] - Pearl Clear, a limited release sold exclusively at theaters to commemorate the screening of Gundam Unicorn Episode 2. (What a mouthful of a name-)
First off, unlike a regular clear kit, this one is molded in pearl clear, so the white exterior armor comes out as a luminous, translucent pearl clear with a pearlescent sheen. On top of that, the pink inner frame — arguably the highlight of Destroy Mode — is packed with glitter powder that catches the light and sparkles brilliantly depending on the lighting. The blue parts on the backpack and feet are also done in a translucent clear loaded with glitter, making the whole kit feel incredibly harmonious and dazzling overall.
Being molded in pearl clear actually makes the joint strength a bit stiffer, which improves stability, though the harder material does make trimming and assembling the parts a little more work. But the gem-like radiance you get once it's all finished more than makes up for the effort. ^^
This might just go down as the limited edition kit that pearl clear suits best in history — if you're a Unicorn fan, this is pretty much a must-have. :-)
