It was so pale and washed-out that I tried shooting it against various backgrounds and lighting setups...
Being all-clear, it just doesn't show up well no matter what. ;;
So I decided to just go with a plain yellowish board as the background.

Comparison with the Crystal version.
I always thought the Crystal version was a bit pale and washed-out too... but compared to this All Clear Version, it actually has a decent presence.

This is a limited edition RX-78 Gundam ~ All Clear Version released as a prize for a plastic model contest.
Unlike the Crystal version, the entire kit is molded in clear runners throughout, and as you can see, it's so transparent that it's hard to even make out the outline. ^^;
In person it actually has more of a three-dimensional feel than you'd expect, but in photos it's really tough to pick out any contours at all... The only thing visible through that clear body is the dark polycaps.

As yet another limited edition variation of the endlessly recycled RX-78 v1.0, it also carries over the "stronger joints" that the clear/Crystal/plated versions all have in common. That said, the shield and elbow sections are still a bit loose...

Aside from the unique gimmick of being a fully transparent First, there's really nothing else special about it. ^^
