Alongside the HGUC Dra-C original version.
It's basically a color variant kit, but the shape of the right forearm has been changed.

Together with other Unicorn mobile suits in similar purple color schemes.

Following the blue 0083 original version Dra-C, the purple Unicorn version Dra-C has been released as a Club G limited edition. As you can see, the base design of the kit remains the same, with only the molded color changed to a purple tone. On top of that, Unicorn-style pattern stickers have been added to the chest and forearms, and the gatling gun — which was previously held in the right hand — has been changed to mount directly in place of the right arm entirely.

That said, the HGUC Dra-C that serves as the base kit is a 2011 release, yet it somehow gives off the vibe of an HGUC from ten years prior. In other words, the parts layout and assembly feel are a bit old-school, so this kit isn't really one you'd expect a satisfying, snappy build experience from. It's just kind of a run-of-the-mill 1/144 HG kit feel — not loose, but not particularly solid either, seam lines are somewhat visible, and the weapon loadout is pretty bare-bones.

Since this is a mobile suit where articulation doesn't really matter much and a simple build is pretty much inevitable, it's not really a problem per se — but purely in terms of quality, it's not a kit I'd go out of my way to recommend. If you just really want a purple Unicorn version Dra-C to add to your collection, the part count is low, so it's the kind of limited edition you can casually put together without any great expectations. :-)
