This kit is the Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam [Gundam Base Color] released as a Gundam Base exclusive. Compared to the standard release, Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundamthe molded color has been changed to a blue-toned Gundam Base Color scheme. There are no new parts — it's a straightforward color variant kit, with only the shared Gundam Base sticker added.

So all the features are identical to the original kit, and it still delivers a solid HG-level look with a minimal part count. That said, due to the limitations of the EG grade, the articulation and gimmicks are kept pretty simple.

By the way, for the 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam in Gundam Base Color, it wasn't the HGUC but rather the HG RX-78-2 Gundam [Beyond Global][Gundam Base Color]that got the treatment. So it's kind of nice to finally see the classic RX-78-2 design get the Gundam Base Color in 1/144 scale. Either way, the price-to-quality ratio is great and the build quality is clean, making this a fun little exclusive that's easy to pick up without breaking the bank. :-)
