This kit is the 1/100 Zaku Warrior Live Concert Ver. - Extra Finish, released as a Carat Hobby limited edition back in 2007. It's the Extra Finish version of the Live Concert Zaku Warrior — that feminine pink mobile suit — finished with a semi-gloss type of Extra Finish coating.

First off, the pink Extra Finish coating is a pretty rare color choice, so it gives the kit a really unique look — though the coating quality itself is just about average. It's generally smooth overall, but there's some inconsistency here and there, and the coating doesn't feel particularly thick either. Reds and pinks are notoriously tricky colors to coat, so the pink here doesn't come out with super vivid coloring. That said, the bright, cheerful color does carry the look on its own to some extent — though the stickers and seals do feel a bit out of place against the plated surface.

The kit itself is pretty well made — assembly is straightforward and the articulation is reasonably good. Since it's a plated version, the joints are a bit tighter than usual, which actually makes posing a little easier. Gate marks are about what you'd expect, same as any other plated kit.

As a limited edition, this kit's value lies more in its rarity and exclusivity than in its overall quality. The 1/100 line was already a bit of a niche lineup compared to MG or HGUC to begin with, but a pink Extra Finish plated kit like this is the kind of thing that makes you want to build it at least once — or it'd make a pretty nice gift for the ladies in your life. :-)
