This kit is Pac-Man released as an EG (Entry Grade). As the hero of a truly legendary game, it comes as a beginner-friendly model kit that's easy to build with a small number of parts — right in line with the EG concept.

The numbering doesn't follow the existing EG lineup sequence — it's been given a separate number, EX02. It seems like the numbering is meant to distinguish between domestic and export versions, or to categorize kits by lineup characteristics. For reference, EX01 is the EG First Gundam, so it looks like EG kits with the "EX" designation are being defined as bonus or special lineup entries.

With just 18 parts and the eyebrow seals, you get a pretty cute finished look. The legs are fixed, but the arms have shoulders and wrists that rotate 360 degrees — and surprisingly, you can pull off quite a variety of poses with that alone. Compared to the typical EGs that came out almost like fixed figures, this one actually feels like a kit you can pose.

Anyway, it's a simple kit so there isn't a whole lot to go over, but the build quality is very clean — just what you'd expect from Bandai. If Pac-Man brings back fond memories for you, this seems like a worthwhile investment as a nostalgia trip. :-)
