HGUC Gogg - Mobile Suit Gundam UNBOXING and Review

Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale Gogg. This potato-esque Zeon mobile suit doesn't seem very intimidating... but it's got a certain charm I suppose!

[@TotemoGaijin]

Its cheap, and its goofy, but I personally love the arms and hands on this build. From strangling a Gundam, to flipping someone off, the Gogg has you covered!

[@kidrobot.]

lmao

[@shadowfox6712]

I wished Bandai would make thunderbolt ver. Kits Of the Acguy and gogg those MS design look amazing

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

I'm not going to be surprised if it was released as P-Bandai though. They gonna make some slight cosmetic alterations on the old molds with no added articulations.

[@Skrall-Slayer]

@@First-Name_Last-Name for me the problem isn’t them being a rehash of old models, cause I actually really like the old models despite them not being perfect, just really hoping it’s not p-bandai cause that’ll just ruin everything for me since I’ll never be able to get if it’s p-bandai.

[@scarletrain6757]

@@First-Name_Last-Name from everything we’ve seen, the Thunder bolt line makes their own molts for kits

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

@@scarletrain6757 For now, at least. Try to search online : " Daryl Platoon MSM- 04 Acguy Thunderbolt, HOBBY JAPAN magazine 2018 issue" . That Thunder Acguys are somehow built using majority of parts of the HGUC kit and imho, looks great. Imagine if Bandai somehow modified the old Acguy mold.

[@scarletrain6757]

@@First-Name_Last-Name but that’s what they do in HOBBY JAPAN, there was a custom build Gundam Gremory in HJ and now bandai is making an official HG, with brand new parts. Also they could of used older kits with new parts for the thunderbolt line but they chose to make brand new kits instead, I think it’s highly more likely there will be new molds then retooling old ones, especially since those kits are really old and would be better off with newer ones

[@sdnegus]

I purchased this kit in 2001 when I was 16. Twenty years later and I just bought another one. A timeless kit for sure and worth the $9USD.

[@thrillhouse4151]

It may be a janky suit but the monoeye bumps it up significantly, also probably the second cutest MS next to Acguy!

[@tjbach8213]

I love all the aquatic suits! Cool to see it. Iron nail is the hands yeah

[@evoiii8]

I remember being so intimidated by the Gogg, back in the day. Fighting them in one of the last missions in Journey to Jaburo on PS2. An encounter with a Zeke suit that had beam weaponry?? It was fierce.

[@mosquitolemon]

Its just as deadly in GBO2 with the right pilots lol

[@Youtubefan-dk1gm]

Just ordered this kit yesterday. What a coincidence lol.

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

I ordered it last week since it was sold dirt cheap ($10 including delivery). This was the only Zeon aquatic MS kit that I have not own. Wish Bandai going to remake the MAM-07 Grublo MA kit though, since only the "retro version" kit was released.

[@Youtubefan-dk1gm]

@@First-Name_Last-Name I got mine for 483php (9.95usd) also free shipping. I only have the Z'gok tho. Will try to hunt down the Hy-Gogg and Acguyy next time. I love dirt cheap kits lol.

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

@@KZbinfan-dk1gm Acguy's a solid kit. My Hy-gogg arms are a bit floppy from the start. so it can't pose with lifted/outstretched arms.

[@Youtubefan-dk1gm]

@@First-Name_Last-Name Yeah I kinda expected the floppy long arms after moving the parts too much. I guess adding a bit of bluetack will help to tighten the joints.

[@TacticalZaku]

Just built this kit

[@jiriz0r]

Got this kit a while ago for €4 and I love it. It’s so chunky and derpy. Kinda cute in a way.

[@usagiyoshino2428]

It maybe chunky, derpy but it is also a terrifying suit to fight in the game Gundam battle operation 2.

[@nedinnis6752]

@@usagiyoshino2428 Indeed. It had that super robot level invurneravility to explosions.

[@xpluscollectorscrew]

I own a few, I see it as a monster design. A little dorky at first but they dont laugh when the claws and mega particle guns come out..

[@pressurechief]

Zaku suits, especially aquatic suits are so goofy but lovable

[@SirJamestown]

I literally bought this like a week ago lol I definitely like the weird Zeon suits so I guess I'm the target audience, but I for sure agree on it being a limited but interesting enough kit, considering how much it costs. Can also say that while it doesn't have a lot of details to panel line obviously, the ones it does have do look really nice once you're done. Specifically the ones on the feet/legs. Also it's pretty wild to build an $8 HG kit that has fully articulated hands.

[@Alvincao65]

I just got my Gogg in yesterday. I think it might be cooler if you reviewed the Z’Gok Experiment since you have already built+reviewed the amazing Z’Gok.

[@jtacomm2960]

Love how your reviewing older kits keep it up!!!

[@pyrojinn]

I almost forgot that the rx 78-2 has a ball and chain weapon that it almost never uses and not featured in the various model kit I’ve seen on KZbin.

[@jacobgerardy630]

One of the older kits has it. I believe it's in the starter kit that comes with the panel lining pen

[@captdrewss]

The aquatic type zeo suit are imo best for when your tired of the same ol gunpla layout and you need a lil nugget of variety

[@mkprovince]

Every single time I see Gogg, I would always recall Boss Borot... porbably just me

[@Trizface]

Have you seen the Zock design in Thunderbolt? That thing is amazing.

[@Skrall-Slayer]

Agreed!

[@pupintheturdiii]

Nice, got the SD 3pack.

[@earlovl5793]

I literally remembered to try watching a zudah review vid only because I saw it in your background.

[@jasonku4332]

This is a surprise review. Also review the hg acguy !

[@MCMXCI42]

Love these old hguc grunt suits, I've already built a Rick Dom and a Z'Gok, plus I'm eyeing an Acguy at my local hobby shop.

[@EasterlyArt]

Maybe it was the Hy-Gogg, or the action figure I had of it, but I really love Goggs. It's hard to explain why I love them so much, but they scratch an itch I have for mech designs that are not by any means common. Maybe it was influences a bit by Macross figures that were licensed for Exosquad back in the day, but I grew to love chunkier builds like this. I still need to work on my HG Hy-Gogg, but once I can learn everything I need to make it look spectacular, I will tackle the MSM-03 beauty. Maybe it will get a RG someday.

[@vustvaleo8068]

thus makes me wish the Thunderbolt version of the Gogg got a kit, that thing looks more aggressive and muscular, plus has a Dom-style head design.

[@zainul0021]

And also acguy!

[@abnerdoon4902]

There's a lot of Thunderbolt mobile suits I wish had kits.

[@darkusblader]

Especially the guncannon/ aqua , gm cannon , gm ground type c , ball marine type , gm marine type , gelgoog , and psycommu high mobility zaku.

[@abnerdoon4902]

@@darkusblader Don't forget the Rick Doms.

[@darkusblader]

@@abnerdoon4902 i honestly forgot they were in thunderbolt.

[@dahavenduhast3544]

Zock is a great kit for weathering lots of chipping and rust options. One of my favorite finishes I’ve managed to pull off.

[@mattsebastianaquino9990]

Any chance you get a review for the HGUC Zeong?

[@krylancelo23]

Built this 20 years ago and I still have it. Funny you mention the joints, the knew joint took a hit during a move. Luckily, due to the design, other than a strange pose, the parts hold onto themselves. I would love the MG someday, just a wild design.

[@jordanxgamer3928]

You got it to display next to the hygog

[@SetsunaFSeiei-vt7tf]

I'm guessing he's using either the legs or the shoulders for the Old to Gold Gelgoog.

[@justjoe8397]

Didnt expect to see a review for this haha. I bought this for a cheap custom, cos i wanted to try scratchbuilding a moving mono eye. The joints in the legs wear down fairly quickly due to the bulk of the upper body.

[@RemiScutlet]

This needs a Revive along with the Z'gok

[@Vierra_Photo]

Yes...... I like this A really old HG

[@0supermoose804]

I adore this suit. Other than the shins, there are very few troublesome seams, and it’s articulation is fun.

[@jimmyjames7309]

This was a fun kit to build. Great for younger builders too.

[@jacobgerardy630]

Just built it the other day. It's pretty charming tbh

[@whatpla2667]

Might be pretty cool to use some of those parts to upgrade the HG Devil Gundam. I might need one of these...

[@whatpla2667]

Oh, my bad. 144 Devil Gundam.

[@GrrttDubya1337]

I used the arms to hang back down from the sides of a backpack on my custom gouf

[@Muffin0613]

Such a classic model kid I kind of wish we could get a revival version of this because I always like the design it always looks so goofy XD

[@Geekeric]

I love the Gogg and Zock mostly for their comic relief value. It's like some Zeon designer totally went nuts.

[@coreyjohnson19]

Maybe using parts for sum Ma. K customizing?

[@snekles6449]

I acknowledge that its a pretty goofy design. But idk, i just have a soft spot for the weird zeon designs.

[@macmorpheus1464]

You bought it for those beautiful hands, they're so big, they wouldn't look out of place on an mg.

[@onionring1531]

Normally I buy kits to enjoy the build and appreciate the design. This is the kind of kit I would only buy to heavily modify or for completing a collection.

[@mix-up9003]

I though it was a amazingly fun little model, at least it was much better then I ever expected

[@Darth_Anomalous]

I kinda wish they made a revive just to fix that mono eye thing. And if they did I hope they bulk it up but a little to make it more Menacing cu right now the hg looks kinda adorable. The MG looks more menacing.

[@jek014]

If bandai ever made a revive version of the gogg, probably just go with the origin design. Far better design imo

[@Darth_Anomalous]

@@jek014 can you show me an image of it, I can't find one 8n Google. Also bandai should go back to the origin line there are some great designs and takes on MS from the OG.

[@KiwiOuiOui22]

Yeah the mono eye kinda sucks. I wish bandai would eventually make revives of all old kits. Also how fun of a build is the MG Gogg?

[@FRGDEC]

We need a Thunderbolt ver. Sane with the Acguy.

[@Trizface]

And Zock. The Thunderbolt Zock is insane.

[@TheDeathNoteNear]

Aquatic mobile suits are peak mechanical design.

[@Darth_Anomalous]

Glad to see you reviewing older kits especially in this sea of pbandai garbage.

[@PearlJam2k6]

Im looking at this and the only thing i can see is that it looks like someone tried to draw/build a Zgok from memory after someone only described it to them.

how did it go?

[@WilliamEndo]

Thunderbolt conversion.

[@TheVgrey]

Now I want to see a jugau

[@7Trys]

Hey, hey lets not knock the zock. It may be an ugly design but it has a fun little charm about it. the kit even for being old does a lot of interesting things like with how the mono eye can be moved all around the head. For a good price id recommend giving the Zock a shot.

[@Mike_Jones1980]

Don't mix up the thumbs and fingers and then glue the hands together, and then clean up the seam lines and then realize your mistake.

[@edgarr8339]

I personally think it needs a Master Grade!

He's just a funky little frog-goblin(froblin). No need to be so harsh to him! And I bet you're stealing the shoulders (and maybe some other parts?) for the vintage Gelgoog you're working on.

are you planning to use the parts to make a custom version of that marine type obsolete kit?
