The colour is great, the best thing this model has going for it. The white is very white and unfortunately everything else is blue. Don't expect to just slap on some stickers, you only get about half of what you'd need to make it look anything like the one on the box. Painting is a must on the waist, backpack, and anything else that isn't white. Poseability is fair, you can't do any exceptional poses, but it doesn't move if you put it in an unnatural position.
All joints are polycaps and they hold quite well.
They could've at least gave you a core fighter model along with it. Overall it's a good beginner kit, I'm no model master, but GP-01 was way too easy. I'd reccomend the HGUC version instead.
