This kit is the MG Full Armor Gundam [Blue Color Ver.], released as a Club G exclusive. As you can see, it's a 100% pure color variant with only the color scheme changed to blue tones — unfortunately, there are absolutely no newly changed or added parts. It just comes with duplicate runners to match the new color combination, and of course a ton of leftover parts thrown in as a bonus..

Since it's a straight color variation, all the characteristics are identical to the original kit. The additional armor panels still don't stay on well due to those gel stickers with their iffy adhesion, which is a bit of a letdown -_-; Swapping some of them out for something like 3M double-sided tape would probably be better for your sanity — but either way, the fully armed look is a decent kit in its own right.

One thing worth noting: the new color scheme isn't fully realized through color separation alone, so you'll need a larger number of seals compared to the original kit. There are quite a few parts that could've been cleanly color-separated with just a little more effort, which is a bit of a shame.

Anyway, being a simple color variant limited release, it doesn't have a whole lot going for it — but for fans of the Full Armor Gundam, it's a kit that gives you a fun excuse to build it all over again. :-)
