Side view. The joints are solid so it stands up fine,
but the foot contact with the ground still doesn't feel all that stable.

The only parts that changed compared to the standard MG Zeta 2.0 are the pilot parts.
Specifically, the cockpit figure and the standing figure were swapped out,
with the feminine standing pilot from the 2.0 replaced by the White Unicorn version.

The kit structure is 100% identical, but the difference in coloring gives it a distinctly feminine feel as a Zeta Gundam.

is quite a grind -_-;

Highly recommended for anyone who wants that soft, glowy look~

Straight build. Without the pink stickers it looks incredibly bare;

Out of nowhere, a limited-edition Zeta Gundam has shown up in the MG lineup. It's the white and pink Zeta Gundam Unit 3 (White Unicorn color version) that previously appeared in the HCM Pro lineup as the Green Divers version. The box clearly has "Limited" stamped on it in bold letters, but unlike other event exclusives, this is an official limited release straight from Bandai. That means it's been added to Bandai's lineup temporarily — they'll produce a set quantity and then stop, though given Bandai's track record, who knows whether they'll actually reprint it or not :-) If it sells well, there's no reason they wouldn't do another run, right??

Anyway, the base is taken straight from the MG Zeta Gundam v2.0, with the molded colors changed and some unique stickers added. Interestingly, there are a few runner changes — the cockpit and standing pilot figures have been swapped out for White Unicorn versions. Special editions don't usually go as far as changing runners, so it feels like they put in a bit of extra effort here...

The price is the same as the standard version, and true to its official limited-edition status, the box art and manual have been freshly redesigned. For the basic characteristics of the kit itself, MG Zeta Gundam v2.0 reviewis all you need to refer to — fundamentally, this kit is one where you just sit back and enjoy the colors and stickers :-)

Zeta Unit 3 features white base armor with pink exterior panels, and opts for a light gray instead of dark gray, giving the whole thing a bright, vibrant feel. The molded colors are really lovely, and with the flashy pink stickers on top of that, it's just downright pretty ^^ The color palette gives off this soft, glowy vibe that feels almost feminine.

The part that might stir up some debate is the pink stickers — given their shape and scale, you'd expect them to be handled as waterslide decals based on past precedent, but they've been included as clear seals instead. Fortunately though, the quality of these new clear seals is pretty good; they go on cleanly without leaving any white residue around the edges, so they actually end up looking better and holding up more durably than waterslide decals would. It seems like they went with stickers to prevent the decals from peeling during transformation, and honestly the quality is nothing to worry about.

If you're really not happy with the quality, masking and spraying is your only other option ^^; That said, stickers being stickers, the corners tend not to stick down fully and can lift slightly — the edges along the wings didn't quite adhere and lifted a little on mine. (Take a close look at the photos above.)

Anyway, since the base kit itself is quite solid, the overall quality is good, it's fun to build, and the molded colors and stickers are just adorable — it's a kit that's a real joy to put together. This is honestly one of the more satisfying limited editions in a while; it's good enough that it could've just been added directly to the MG lineup as a color variant rather than a limited release :-)
