As you can see, they look almost identical on the outside.

This kit is the HGUC Rick-Dias released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Just like the original Rick-Dias, the standard unit and Quattro's unit differ only in color. This kit is likewise a 100% color variant of the previously releasedHGUC Rick Dias (Quattro Bajeena Custom)with only the molded colors changed.

So all the features are identical, and while the appearance has been subtly updated, the joints are a clear step up from the old 2000 release — HGUC Rick Dias — and you can really feel that 21-year gap. Anyway, it's a straight color variant, but it's still meaningful that both Quattro's unit and the standard unit have now been upgraded to a v1.5 level. Just like with Quattro's version, if you're planning to build an HGUC Rick-Dias, I'd strongly recommend going with the improved Club G version. :-)
