I’ve bought this kit three times and it’s been a pleasure every single time. Even painted one in my own Ace colors and detailed it up to my own specs, I highly recommend anyone pick this up. It’s one of the few kits that holds up time and time again, does not fall apart over time and it’s a spot on realization of the Gouf Custom.

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Katoki did a really great job on "redesign" the original gouf into the gouf custom, looks much cooler than Okawara ver. Already have this kit many years ago and it's still one of my favorite HGUC kit.

[@shiranui498]

You should totally make an all-korean review for April's Fool!

[@sectphiro607]

Nah

[@MegaDan5]

This kit was a fun build for me, and I love the fact it's able to hold the gatling shield without much issue.

[@iqbalprasadana5208]

this kit is a beast even just straight of the box

[@ApocalypseZombie13]

Im glad I held off on the mg now,because this hg seems like a much better choice

[@porkflaps4717]

It is. Besides it being one of the most solid HG's Ive ever built, the shoulder gimmick where it can hold out the Gatling shield makes it worth the purchase.

[@ApocalypseZombie13]

PORK FLAPS OOOOH PAYDAY CONE ALREADY

[@V10Symphony]

I really like the design even though it is a bit goufy OK I'll see myself out

[@normanpeckham9794]

Karim El Ganzoury (slow clap)

[@FullDemiurge]

HAHAHA! Oh you, what a gouf!

[@RedCometZakoo]

I recently just bought this kit. Honestly really enjoying it so far. A very cool MS from one of the best Gundam OVAs.

[@exvaran]

You should've done a comparison with the HGUC Gouf Flight Type as well, seeing as they share a lot of parts

[@McPAIKIA]

appreciate the unboxing and review in 1 single video, been following your channel for a very long time one of the first few channels i found when i started on gunpla, and i've also done some reviews on my channel as well inspired by you. so glad you are still posting very regularly, keep up the great work and effort!

[@purmello]

One of my absolute favourites. Definitely more than the sum of its parts. Comes together really nicely.

[@mr.gunzaku437]

A lot of clean, broad surfaces and very few seam lines that all levels of modeler will appreciate (LESS CLEANING!!! OMG YAY!!!)! The chances for beginners who want to climb to a higher tier, and intermediates looking for a Gunpla to try out that new technique on, it's perfect. A nice kit overall and one I'd love to have if these blasted issues with supply would ever get handled! C'mon Japan!!! We know you have the product and the capability to produce and mainlines us the plasticrack we need to keep our addiction fed but your holding out on us!!! We are *SO* willing to give our money, it's insane! You stand to make *SO* much money, yet your not shipping us the goods! We've seen the tables full of product over there and the natives over here are getting restless. What. Gives? You got unsold, viable product? Ship it over here, we'll gobble it up!!! You know this! Bandai needs to stop being so damn enigmatic about this sh-- and gives out product. I'm tired of seeing my hobby store shelves attempting to look at capacity by full facing what they got left. I'm tired of feeling neglected. A lot of us are.

[@JMel2012]

This is such a good kit. I decided to do some painting and gave it a more silver light blue color for all the light blue except the head, then weathered the legs. First time doing any customizing, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous.

[@sslocke]

This is the kit that got me back into gunpla after many years away. It is such an awesome kit. I've gotten several more to give it double gatling shields and a twin bladed heat sword as well as to bash with some other kits.

[@cdwizzerd]

one of the first kits i got when i was getting into gunpla as an adult. really fun & stable build

[@nicemecha]

I love the locking mechanism on its shoulders joint. Makes posing the kit with that huge gatling shield so much easier.

[@primaru9461]

this guy is easily my #1 of the more simpler hg gundam kits. idk why, I just loved building this guy as well as my finished product.

[@joshgilkinson8783]

just got into gunpla and picked this set up just because of the lower price point. It quickly turned into my favorite build so far.

[@Astronopolis]

Just picked this up for cheap at hobby lobby today, $13. Super excited to build it, maybe track down an EZ8 too!

[@SoulCrusherEx]

i never cared about your unboxing vids but i Do care about your reviews. The combination of both formats is really cool. Didnt even skip through the unboxing part

[@HellsBirdie]

That plastic piece inside the shoulders is a locking mech that helps the Gouf Custom hold that huge minigun without sagging.

[@drewpickard554]

I just built and did some light painting on the that Gouf Custom. Just a fun build and he just looks pretty cool. Just a little bit of weathering really ups how he looks, out of the box super cool but kinda bright plastic. That gun alone should sell anybody on this kit

[@ozstrider]

Okay Zach I'll buy it, jeez. (I actually love the Gouf and I dont know why I dont have it, the proportions on this kit are top notch, it looks so athletic)

[@DeDoGunpla]

i really love the way it fights.. that awesome scene

[@joncorde9375]

This kit was my very first Gunpla and I love it.

[@porkflaps4717]

What a SOLID kit. Love it. Gotta get the Flight Type ASAP.

[@fegoracedia6080]

One of my favorite kits, it has a certain level of intimidation that you just cant get with other kits

[@dialect64]

For the first time, I really want to build a diorama, to display it on top of that building from the iconic scene (I dont even watch anime, just love building kits... but that scene is legendary!😃)

[@bulls90s]

Thanks to video it made me decide to build my backlog of this kit haha.

[@RealmOfReads]

Just ordered mine. Should be here next Monday!

[@arjhezanimating558]

Truly a great kit

[@emophobe]

One of my favorite kits!

[@VictorPerez-hg2ed]

Dude I saw that bad boy at my local hobby lobby and I am so getting that for Christmas.

[@ngoancs]

This kit very good... I just bought him on January and this is first HGUC I bought. Gouf custom have nice detail even it is just a HG kit. Many of Gunpla collecter on my country very suprise about this kit: looking cool, tough one and his weapon kind of epic for the kit have been released 10 years ago. Also his price kind of cheap and i sure you guys after you buy him or even after that you custom build him just a little.... you will not be request for small money to have nice HGUC kit on your collection.

[@josh_conway]

This is such a fun kit.

[@TokinwithMojo]

I just bought the kid can't wait to start building it and starting a custom painting scheme

[@ZakuAurelius]

Great choice!

[@shinobimanexe]

Ive got one of these im working on painting it red and covering it in Neo Zeon decals

[@Frolaire]

One day we will get an MG 2.0. Hopefully. That said, i prefer the Gouf Custom over the normal Gouf because it doesn't have that one really big machine gun hand. I should definitely get this kit.

[@guruhmaulana8740]

I built the revive HG rx 79 ground unit from 08th series gundam, kinda hope this gouf custom and ez8 got revive version too

[@gbresaleking]

I want to buy one and try my first repaint, I'm thinking black and purple would be sick

[@kolinmartz]

Now this is a kit I wouldn’t mind getting a RG version of

[@vustvaleo8068]

instead of the "no Zaku boy!" meme, this is a "not an average Gouf, boy!" lol.

[@GurtMcDirt]

🥴

[@heyimhy]

yes such an amazing kit. the 08th MS Team is my all time favorite gundam show ever... such an amazing show. i wish they would make another season with that universe and characters

[@mahatmagandhiful]

Every time I see more 08MST content, I just want more 08MST content. Gouf Custom/Ground Gundam 2.0s when???

[@color63ch]

Gouf! I like it! かっこいい！

[@kingkoltron857]

Haven't built this kit yet but do own it bought it recently plan on changing the colors to look like chars red comet zaku 2

[@beef9211]

The light blue color seems brighter than I thought, must put some effort to make the kit looks good

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the similarity between this kit and the HG Zaku F2 is something I noticed when I built these kits. I looked into it and found out that Katoki Hajime designed both the Gouf Custom and Zaku F2 so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in designing these HG kits as well. there's one cool thing about this kit that you didn't mention. on the shoulder joint there's a notch that fits into a slot on the cap covering the polycap which prevents the arm from sagging due to the weight when you have the kit in a firing pose.

[@SoloAxlion]

I also noticed the similarity. It would factor into the if/when I get another of both to make my hybrid "Gouf Zaku Disguise Type" custom.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

@@SoloAxlion that sounds really cool. ^_^

[@no....................686]

Nice review

[@nizalmuhammad9689]

One of the best HGUC

[@lorenzretiro]

Very nice kit. Would like to see an origin version of this

[@dylanv9463]

Zeon grunt suits are objectively the best designs in the Gundam franchise.

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

Zakus are cooler than GMs too, especially on Origins.

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

I just liked the Gouf Custom because it didn't use Finger Vulcans. Wonder if Robot Damashii will re-release it with their Ver Anime line. But they haven't touched 8th MS yet so that's a wait and a half.

[@eprostation4260]

You forgot about the locking mechanism on the shoulder when holding the gatling shield 😅 Still GREAT REVIEW!!!

[@nmarvlonam9908]

could you please make a review of the R35 Gouf (HGBF)

[@heavyarmsjim7240]

I got 2... One I left standard, on I'm in the middle of making look mildly battle damaged

[@AmericanPride42]

The MG needs a 2.0 pretty bad.

[@the_cosmic_cowboy12]

Too busy making stupid p bandai recolors

[@JosephJoboLicayan]

Wheres the Gouf Flight type? I think Zack forgot that some of its runners were from this kit. Actually, seeing how he never even mentioned it, he probably forgot about it

[@333oaktree]

Didn't even notice that Korean slip at first xP

[@5nitrogaming712]

can I ask, why doesn't the high grade include the gray boxes on the back? it has slots there for those items...

[@brushfire248100]

Wow a year.... later🤣🤣 after the Gouf flight type

[@AceB1ue]

That's a weird looking Zaku 😮

[@nicholaspu]

Wut spell u use to keep the grappling hook floating

[@leboiofbois1005]

you should review the HG god gundam

[@user-xb1wh5mt4l]

The 3-barrel gun is a 35-mm gun. The Gouf's machine gun hand is 75-mm. 75 is more than twice 35. How can a 3-barrel gun be larger than a 5-barrel of a twice larger caliber?

[@SnappyMaw32]

I wonder if the gatling gun on MG Gouf custom is compatible to MG Gouf 2.0 because I'm planning to get both

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

But why though? Gouf Custom is the better and cooler mech. Just buy the Custom.

[@phenexgundam5669]

Joeie Rivera the gouf custom MG is older to the 2.0 so I can see why he would ask that

[@spicymeatball3807]

Nice

[@ApenBaard]

What a coincidence, My usual modelwebshop just got a couple in a couple days ago and I bought one :) Curious if theres anything to look out for with this kit.(still at the unboxing part while posting this) PS: Anyone have any reccomendations for other 8th ms team hg kits that are equaly good? I alsways try to have at least 2 ms'es from the same series :) Edit: Alright as far as im concerned it seems about perfect after some panel lining and chroming up the back of those clear pieces.

[@929Finn]

The GM Ground is a solid kit I would reccomend

[@SteamHammer7]

just got the gouf crimson custom 🤔, I think it's the same suit 😂😂😂

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yep same kit! 👍

[@Jirujan]

wait, you have MG Gouf Custom but never review it? well, i guess it's fine since フルプラ工場 already review it recently

[@fii6600]

*why i hear boss music. Everytime i see ghouf costum,

[@haisesasaki8473]

Will u paint it

[@chatspam1238]

How does the mg of this hold up? Love the design but it's not exactly on the top of my list.

[@tazman66gt18]

in the same boat, keep looking at the MG Gouf 2.0 and the custom, can never decide which way I want to go.

[@jonischbitoni]

Kotobukiya Kagutsuchi Sniper Type please :(

[@WinkelManBearPig]

Why is it every mecha I like in Gundam, turns out to be desined by Hajime Katoki?

[@FullDemiurge]

Chuck Norris' MS.

[@sectphiro607]

What Zaku type is this?

[@_Vegtio_72322]

Ah yes the time has finally come 1,600?? inst that about 17 or 16 bucks? But man I paid a full 40 bucks for this thing(imo well worth every penny) but man..I feel I could've gotten it cheaper other places. I shop on Amazon mainly which I should probably start shopping elsewhere

[@BudahKei]

I don't think HGs should cost as much as MGs haha

[@ApenBaard]

Oof definitely need to shop somewhere else. You arent living in europe are you? Because then I might have a couple recommendations for fair prices. Cant help you when it comes to outside of the eu though.

[@gamerhalim4717]

I already build

[@PaszerDye]

can it hold the Gatling gun up?

[@ZakuAurelius]

yes very well

[@BlueAmerican26]

lol Doo gae. I double taked until you mentioned you slipped it out. Really wish and I would pay for a P bandai gouf custom using the 2.0 gouf frame.

[@sealkaijugang8868]

I am heavy weapons guy and this is my weapon it costs 4000 dollars to fire this for 12 seconds

[@Addyboy0190]

anyone else hear the trumpets

[@JohnMarkM]

You should do an April fools joke by recording a review in Korean lol

[@user-xb1wh5mt4l]

Especially for a Char Custom thing. Because there is a Korean movie about Char being Amuro fighting against Queen Himika from Jeeg and GREEN DOZLE.

[@Geekeric]

Hey, I thought I was the only one that pronounced it as "goof"; what the heck is the right way to say "gouf"? Great review, bet USA Gundam is all sold out of these for a while, lol.

[@bitetheasp]

Late, but check Hobby Lobby if you can. Just make sure to use the 40% off coupon from their website!

[@drei7316]

Ouf custom

[@conoraq]

"Everyone loves 08th MS Team" Speak for yourself dude, I personally find it to be one of the very worst entries in the franchise, just an unbearably dumb and badly-written series.
