Maybe someone else already brought it up, but the extra head pieces are actually from the Gouf R35, with the 'eye', pipes and antenna all being shared. I personally like the shorter snort R35 version. Options!!
This thing is super rad, the shoulders have an excellent range of motion even by revive standards. Colors are on point and look great. It was a quick build, too. Looks sharp. My only complaint is the underside of the shield, which lacks detail, has a poor connection and the handle is kind of in the way. I like it more than my revive Zaku. It captures the menacing silhouette very well. Maybe some day I'll get the 2.0, but this scratched the itch for now.
It did annoy me a bit with it being a mostly recycled kit but, seeing it posed up, it doesn't bug me too much, really captures that look of the classic Gouf.
My biggest problem with the gouf is that it's blue. The standard production model shouldn't be blue because it was established that blue was Rumble Rawls custom unit color. I feel like the general production series should be a different color than Rumba rolls signature color
Same thing applies for the Doms/Rick-Doms, who were all in Black tri-stars colors; perhaps Zeon intended to honor their original pilots by carrying forward said color schemes?
Pity about those seams on the shoulder armour and the limited side skirt mobility. But hey, Bandai make em easy enough to fix and mod so theres something extra to look forward to. Really happy they packed in 2 heat swords, getting ideas for an Efreet Gouf thing.
It looks like you could make a Gouf similar to the Visch Donahue version. Very nice and awesome vid! I may have to grab this as it's got extra pieces for me to possibly make my Gundam OC's Zaku I type! :D
No matter theyre tubes on the legs or not The legs never get over 120 degree And i fpund that theres no sticker in the box and they tell me to put stickers on the eye The worst thing is the skirt Side skirt and front usually come off and waste that 90 degree front kick Is even worst than the normal Zaku IDK is probably something wrong with my Gouf But it looks really good
maybe you just didn't notice it in the instructions but you can have it hold one of the swords in the gun hand. they had to include two swords because they aren't symmetric. www.dalong.net/review/hg/h196/p/h196_m0004.JPG
ZakuAurelius yeah you don't usually see it doing that in the anime but it's nice they included that option. they could always have not included the weapon holding gunhand.
I should really stop watching these reviews, Zak, I really should. It makes me want to get more kits haha
get them all BROSKII!!!!
so true man

I just bought this kit yesterday, planning to paint it to metallic blue. hope it works well. =)
6 years later how is it?
I don't mind the lack of aerial posing too much, considering it is a ground type mobile suit, anyhow, but it's worth noting, certainly.

In re-watching the original series, they are referred to as a Gouf Troop.

good point!

Wow! You've somehow misspelled Ramba Ral two different ways!
@@cruntbungle4338 I have to imagine that that is due to autocorrect.
@@cruntbungle4338 Rumble Rawl pilots his Zaku
This really got me... it’s so anime accurate that I thought it was a robot damashii!

This kit was 1500¥?! Its like 900¥ now on hobbylink
Really enjoying these videos!
+Alex Yang Good! Thanks!
It's no Zaku.

8:41 that head is from Gouf Custom which is from 2010
Really cant help jamming to that intro every time.
If you mod the gouf revive we could have a Zaku revive 5 years earlier
I know it's probably better but how does this compare to '10's Gouf Custom?
I really like that chicken sound effect everytime you make mistakes. A really small bit, but really funny. As always, a great review.
This was my first gunpla
Hmmm i want hg gouf, cant decide to get this hg revive or the r35
Would you recommend the Revive Gouf or the Gouf Custom? I feel like the Gouf Custom looks cooler, but is it dated?
Got a life the Revive will definitely be better in terms of articulation, but I agree the Custom has a more badass look!
Kit bash the two kits. The best of both worlds.
Are you gonna do a review for the 1/144 HGUC Revive RX-178 Gundam Mk-II?
I reviewed BOTH of them already...
That's a lot of videos to scroll through XD
This gets my hopes up for a revive gouf flight type. Sadly it will probably be a p-bandai. I guess I can settle on getting a revive zaku instead.
+fuzzyhawk down Ah man, Revive Gouf Flight-type would be so awesome!
A whole bunch of 08ms team revives would be a nice addition as well.
+fuzzyhawk down well the flight type Gouf is completely different from the normal version.
+fuzzyhawk down I kinda want a Revive Gouf Custom
geoffreystorckman8
the existing HGUC Gouf Custom is good enough that it doesn't really need revive treatment.
No matter theyre tubes on the legs or not
The legs never get over 120 degree
And i fpund that theres no sticker in the box and they tell me to put stickers on the eye
The worst thing is the skirt
Side skirt and front usually come off and waste that 90 degree front kick
Is even worst than the normal Zaku
IDK is probably something wrong with my Gouf
But it looks really good
does the extra shield piece fit into the forearm?
I had hoped this would have the same color scheme as the gouf custom from 8th ms team. Theirs just too much blue
Pls video on finger separation
This is no zaku boy, no zaku
Ohh nice
This is no Zaku, boy, no Zaku
Revive Zeta and Hyaku Shiki!
please make the finger separation video
Im confused, is this a zaku?
Slufffy Gamer this is no Zaku, no Zaku.
Melvindog 8 GODDAMNIT
I'm not sure but it might be a neo-zeon inspired mobile suit
Its clearly a smurf.
Jake Theberge I agree

+Jango The Blue Fox Ah no I just didn't really think about holding a sword in the gun hand... lol
ZakuAurelius
yeah you don't usually see it doing that in the anime but it's nice they included that option. they could always have not included the weapon holding gunhand.
Are goufs zakus?
Ha Yoon Shin THIS IS NO ZAKU BOY. NO ZAKU!
No they're are not,but they still use the same part like with the backskirt
Is that a Zaku? :p
TotemoGaijin This is no Zaku boy, No Zaku.
Slufffy Gamer Ramba Ral reference
In my opinion this gouf was a goof
I guess the rg gouf has no chance now :p lol
