This kit is the HGUC Jesta Tristar Clear Ver., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a kit based on the standard release HGUC Jestawith the materials swapped out for clear plastic — no new sculpting whatsoever, just a straightforward clear version.
So all the characteristics are identical to the original kit, and it still shows the same solid articulation and joint strength. Due to the original color scheme, the clear plastic ends up looking pretty dark, giving the whole thing a somewhat opaque feel. Also, since clear plastic tends to be harder by nature, your hands will definitely get a workout when cleaning up the gates — not much you can do about that one.
That said, as a clear kit with a deep, weighty coloring that sets it apart from the standard release, it seems like a worthwhile build for anyone who's into that gorgeous clear kit aesthetic. :-)
