Alongside the MG Zaku 1.0 clear version, which is over 10 years apart.
Being clear versions, the difference in internal gimmicks is plain to see.

This kit is the Zaku II v2.0 ~ Clear Color ver. (J-Type, standard soldier type) limited edition, released as a 2010 Gunpla Expo exclusive alongside the Zaku II Char's Custom v2.0 ~ Clear Color ver. The basic configuration is of course identical to Char's unit, but the clear green armor has a higher level of transparency, so you can see the internals much more easily compared to Char's version.

The kit's quality goes without saying, but since the v2.0's excellent internal gimmicks are so clearly visible, the satisfaction level as a clear kit is really high. Fully white transparent clear kits have the downside of the armor feeling too insubstantial, but this kit retains a decent amount of the original green tint, so the outlines still hold up nicely. In a word, it feels like this clear kit managed to nail both things at once.

All things considered, this kit feels like it has a bit more going for it than the Char's Custom clear color kit, and I'd say it's easily among the best limited editions in the history of clear color kits. :-)
