This kit is a Club G exclusive release — it's the Jegan D type from Mobile Suit Gundam UC. Basically it's a color variant kit based on the Jegan Ecoas Type with a different exterior color scheme, with only the head being slightly modified from the original Jegan design. (Also known as the "protractor version" Jegan ^^)

The molded color has been changed to a lighter olive drab, which gives it a somewhat heavier feel compared to the original Jegan's bright teal. It looks a bit easier on the eyes than the darker olive of the Ecoas Type. The body and limbs are identical to the Ecoas Type, while the head uses the original Jegan-style design — and if you look closely, the right ear piece uses a newly added part.

The "protractor version" could've been a pretty popular lineup in its own right... but it ended up as a limited release instead of a general retail one. My guess is that since the Kaku-sensei design came out first as the Ecoas Type, the Jegan D type that followed was just a simple color variant, which is why it became a limited release. But then again, there are plenty of straight color variant kits in the regular HGUC lineup too, so the line between general retail and limited releases seems pretty blurry -_-;

In the end, it's a simple color variant limited kit with only part of the head being new. The articulation is a bit on the plain side, but the overall quality is solid and clean, so it seems like a limited kit that any Gunpla fan can build without any stress. :-)
