This kit is the Marutoys Tamotu Light Blue (Mizuiro) Ver. released by Kotobukiya. It's a couple kit paired with the Tamotu Light Green (Usumidori) Ver., and both kits come with newly added waterslide decals.

The body itself is identical to the previous releases, so all the features carry over from before — the nicely sculpted full-body frame and the wide range of motion in the legs and arms let you pull off all kinds of fun poses. On top of that, applying the newly added waterslide decals (if that's your thing) gives it a bit more personality, and reusing the leftover parts to mix up the color combinations sounds like it could be a fun little project too.

Anyway, it's a typical color variant kit, but the quality is solid enough that if the style appeals to you, it's definitely a series worth recommending. :-)
