I enjoyed building this. It is difficult to pose, but the overall esthetic is fairly nice and I don't regret buying it. Looks pretty good when on the shelf.

Let me start with the things I consider bad. It's missing some things I would expect from a 2014 mastergrade kit that were included in the high grade version from 2021. First the hidden arms are stationary pieces which doesn't matter because it doesn't come with any beam saber hilts. Second the binders cannot be folded in like the HG but can be rotated. Third the shoulders are stationary as well. Now on to the good things. First is the shelf presence of this thing is ridiculous. Nearly twelve inches tall by nineteen inches wide by twenty inches deep (twelve inches without the large beam rifle) Second it was an extremely easy kit to build (took me about four hours to do a straight build) with a lot of under gating on the armor pieces (with a few minor exceptions) Third it can take a Bandai green LED unit for the monoeye (which is not included) Only issue is the piece the head is attached to is difficult to remove. Fourth the hands are fully articulated and were actually not loose at all. They even hold weapons good. As for weapons it comes with a large beam rifle and a double sided beam axe. This thing is as posable as the HG meaning it's just as much of brick.
