Comparing the clear parts on the legs.
The old limited edition used pink transparent parts rather than colorless clear,
and since the inner frame was plated, the overall look is quite different..

This kit is the MG exterior clear parts version released to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary. It's essentially the same as the original kit, but with one extra clear runner added. In other words, it lets you choose between standard armor and clear armor for certain exterior parts, so for the basic kit features please refer to the normal version review — this review only covers the added clear parts.

MG Dom Review

◆ Where It's Applied and the Effect

The clear parts are only applied to the four armor pieces on both legs, making this the kit with the fewest parts made clear among all the clear event releases. That said, since the armor pieces are quite large and show off a pretty wide area transparently, it still has a decent effect. The molded detail inside the armor is fairly easy to see through, and even though it's an early MG, the inner frame of the legs is decent enough that looking through the clear armor feels pretty satisfying.

◆ How Easy Is the Swap?

There aren't many parts to swap out to begin with, and the connection points are smooth, so swapping is relatively very easy. You should be able to go back and forth between the standard armor and clear armor without any hassle.

◆ Overall

While the number of parts is small, it works well as a partial clear parts treatment — easy to swap, looks decent, and is a solid if unspectacular addition.
