This kit is the HGUC ReZEL (Defenser B Unit), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It takes the standard release HGUC ReZEL Type-Cand swaps the molded colors to normal ReZEL colors — no new tooling whatsoever, a 100% pure color variant kit.

So all the characteristics are identical to the original kit — it's got that chunky B Unit volume along with decent articulation and joint strength. The two large Mega Beam Launchers and wings do make it feel a little less sturdy than usual, but they're also what make those dynamic poses and the transformation possible, so it's a fair trade.

Since it's a straight-up color variant, there's nothing new to look at beyond the molded colors — but it's still meaningful that the bulked-up B Unit is now available in its original color scheme. It's a great-looking mobile suit at its core, so if you're a fan of the ReZEL series and dig that blue color palette, this kit is definitely worth building. :-)
