- With the much more advanced Revive kit, the HGUC 009 Gouf is often overlooked now among Zeon mobile suits, but you'll be surprised how this is actually a very unique version of the Gouf - and that's not easy when there's quite a lot of them. Though with its special qualities come some equally unique challenges for anyone considering buying this kit.
And there's a whole bunch of companion videos!
Non-grade 1/144 Dodai YS - Coming Soon
1995 HG Gouf Flight Type - Coming Soon Too
HGUC Gouf Flight Type - Coming Soon Three

Honestly, I say reviews of these old kits are essential, it let's us get a full picture of what we have available to us and also gives us a clear lesson of just how far HG kits have come as of today.
Basically, it's review and a nice little history lesson rolled into one.
On another note, I had no idea the Gyan was never Mass Produced, I honestly just thought it was left on earth like the Gouf was due to being a ground type MS with no space variant.
Or at least was limited in it's production ala the Efreet(The Efreet got done dirty if you ask me.)
Yeah, the Gyan was ready for mass production though, but people often don't realize that weird spike on the head is only because of M'Quve and other units shouldn't have had it
And yes, the Efreet was completely tossed aside and forgotten. It filled nearly the s as e role as the Gouf really
@@HobbyClubhouse Really? I always thought the spike was part of the "Knights Armor" thing they were going for.
As for the Efreet, well that should be the case, it was basically supposed to be the Goufs successor. (As far as I'm aware.)
So filling the same role isn't to surprising if you think about it.
The gyan got passed on for reproduction although it would have been ready if not for the beam rifle savvy gelgoog taking up the contract
@@xpluscollectorscrew Well, if the Gihrens Greed series proves anything, it's that slapping the Gelgoogs rifle into the Gyans hands would have more or less achieved the same result.
But then, the Zabis outside of maybe Dozil were never all that smart when it came to wartime management.
@@MasterSwo Yes and no...the gelgoog rifle was associated with the gelgoog project, gihrens greed surmises that it became a typical gyan armament but that isnt canon unfortunately. The gelgoog had a better generator, ran almost twice as fast, had slightly higher thrust and better thruster layout, had better sensors and was more generalized, the gyan was more close to shortrange with its weaponry, the beam naginata with the gelgoog was no slouch in melee, but melee was really the only advantage the gyan had over it, with its fast footwork movement leg module the gyan was an excellent duelist machine, but not so much a multi front war machine.
Oh my, I didn't expect another Upload so soon! Well I'm guessing from the Tweets and TH-cam Comunity post, This ain't the last of the Not-So-Zaku kit reviews
Looking forward to them!
This video was originally supposed to be for the weekend but I didn't like the previous cut and then reshoot and rearranged a bunch of stuff:')
And yes, you're right that there are still other Gouf videos coming like the Flight Type
I admire the fact that you give your fellow youtuber, Mr Kakarot197 credit for his helpful reviews. Such a gentleman.
And its that kind of courtesy as well as your informative videos that made me subscribe. Excellent review, keep up the great work! 😎
This is one of the first kits I bought!! & Yes while it’s articulation is as expected, limited, the ability to easily separate the joints to paint was nice. Another thing, when compared to the revive Gouf, the heat sword is much smaller, but being one single plastic piece, means you can paint it whatever colour. Goes well with my origin Zaku 1
You're in a special position to know exactly what's great about this kit (and where it's kinda hard to easily overlook)
It really does fit perfectly with non-classic proportion kits (a la Origin)
I love my HGUC Gouf Custom, but I must say that I'm *very* impressed by your magnificent Gouf Troop.
I was very tempted to work Gouf Troop into the script somehow
I love your videos man, they give off a more friendly vibe than other reviewers which I really enjoy. Keep up the good work :)
Glad you enjoy the vibe without drama and shock:) I'll keep at it for sure
GOUF!
I have a soft spot for mono eye MS and this kit is a very welcome one for me,
I have the MG Gouf in my collection and till today its still fancy to look at.
The poor MG Gouf 1.0 is quite often forgotten (though the 2.0 really is the better kit). I remember people got so excited when the first one came out
Amazing review as always. There's no one better than you at reviewing these old HGs. Such an enjoyable and informative video. It was cool to see this kit in detail!
Thank you as always:) Old kits are great especially when they're not simply 1:1 with newer versions or were themselves a celebrated update that isn't obvious to us today
Now I Want A HG Gouf Because Of This Review
The little guy is real is the unique as the Katoki-Gouf among all his non-Custom vanilla Gouf brothers
i got the revive gouf but your upgrades section really inspired me to use weapons from different kits and it looks cool!
Damn I can hear "this is no Zaku boy"
I wasnt expecting the Gouf review so soon but this is great and well done review! Im tempted to get another Gouf because of this and makes me appreciate em more 😂
The great thing about this kit is that it's really affordable, though Bandai really doesn't reprint this much anymore because of the newer version, just like the old Guncannon which I've been waiting for for a while now...
I always loved the looks of Gouf units. I still prefer them over the Zaku for the most part.
It's such a shame they weren't used more widely since they could have replaced every combat role of the Zaku on Earth and were just as versatile
@@HobbyClubhouse it is and from a model point its a shame that some of these never got mg 2.0. Like the Gouf Custom desperately needs a 2.0
Man you really are convincing me to get a gouf! Been planning on getting one. This MS really resonated with me when i watched the original gundam series. This maybe my favorite mono-eye apart from Sazabi!
There are so many nice choices for Goufs, though sadly a lot of them aren't retail kits. Almost any one you can buy has something really special about it,so go for it:)
Great video as always! Man I want this set of kits so bad 😅 I'm a big fan of side story Rise from the ashes so finding out there's a set of kits from this game in particular made me really happy. Being a fan of the one year war zeon designs also helps.
Plus I hope we can get a review of the gelgoog too ;)
That Gelgoog was shot alongside the Gouf here:) I'm probably going to give him a short cut-in section in the Gelgoog Mass Production review.
I love Rise from the Ashes too! Did you know it has a spiritual sequel on the Wii (MS Sensen 0079) that lets you use Zeon suits with that same zoom visor and everything
@@HobbyClubhouse I had no clue! This game looks really cool and I'm surprised I've never heard anyone talk about it before. The only thing that's missing is the overlay of the cockpit like the saturn and dreamcast games ;)
Can't wait for the review! The mass production type is my personal favorite version of the gelgoog. It and the rgm-79 gm hg's are the main 2 on my desk
I think I might have to order a copy of the game on ebay
I actually just built the Gouf Revive yesterday so this is a very timely and interesting comparison
The Gouf Revive is such a great kit with it's goofy classic droopy snout. Kinda wish it had at least a Zaku machine gun though
Y'know, something about the blues being all a single colour makes this kit seem both better-looking and worse in some aspects, but overall I find that it makes it slightly more charming to me! Definitely makes it look a tad older than it is in my opinion, but I honestly see that as a bit of a plus for the old HG Gouf with how it looks proportions-wise!
Also, damn, those are some pretty sick decals. Sucks that it's P-Bandai, but eh, the more P-Bandai releases that are just sets and recolors instead of new stuff, the merrier ^^'
When I look at my own kit I forget it's just one color sometime - which is the opposite of the Gelgoog from the same set. I've been waiting for the retail one for so long (besides originally to review it) so I can paint it and add waterslides to it to let that design shine
@@HobbyClubhouse Good luck finding it - and honestly? I feel like the Gelgoog from that set will probably benefit from some sort of camo colour scheme - but yeah, makes sense, the Gelgoog really needs a few colours to break up the design due to how large some of the bits are in comparison to other oyw MSs.
You gotta have this if you love the gouf. This kit has a special place in my collection. The reason... that machine gun. I'd still choose this compared to the revive, but not the r35. lol
This is a very detailed look at a classic kit. While the Gouf Revive may have it outclassed in most aspects, I think this kit still has value and deserves love. Heck, I'd buy one just because I love Goufs. 😆
Thank you so much! This older Gouf really gets tossed to one side way too often, though it really is split between a great look and limited articulation... But man those looks!
Great info to know. Maybe not a great solo piece, but just about perfect for a player in a diorama, as most of those older kits are (I'm looking at you, first edition Nu Gundam).
I really want a retail one so I can paint it, I'd love to have it on display with a giant bazooka
Great video as usual, im torn on which gouf I like most....theyre all awesome, though seeing em all like this Im not sure im that big of a fan of that hgto design...
Looking forward to the rest of the gouf videos :)
I've always found it hard to make use of the HGGtO Gouf's strange arms(?).
A week later and the Gouf videos have all been interrupted by important new releases ._.
Great video as usual (even if it also felt as a stealthy praise to the Gouf Custom, since it has the same dynamic shape but with better articulation), but you make me ask you up a few questions:
- All the whole system weapon/hand swapping praise, sure it's cool but you could just say the same for the majorty of the other hg zeonic kits in a way, so why specifically on this one?
- You said the HG Johnny Ridden Zaku is one of the best Zaku kits, care to explain more about it? I'm going to get either it or the new Char's Zaku II and both seem very good choices for my "Zaku squad" shelf.
- Gouf Flight Test Type and Combined Test Type when? (Damn you Bandai)
Having said that, keep up the good work!
Nice challenge, lemme take you up on all the questions:
- absolutely true that any kit that can equip the hands can use any of those weapons, but the Gouf never gets weapons even though it's supposed to be as versatile as the Zaku. The kit's hands kinda suck, so it's a good gateway to make this kit better if you have System Weapons or any donor kit with similar hands
- That Zaku uses the early-modern Zeon suit joint designs (used by the F2, Gouf Custom) where maybe half of the joints are still used in kits today, so it was quite good... before the Origin kit ruined the day for everyone anyway. The kit has all the parts of the R1 Zakus but they didn't get lazy and gave us a color-separated all-new shoulder, Also, giant bazooka with new handle made it compatible with everyone
Mmp-78, the kai machine gun is the one used by a hizack
Oh hey, you're right... now that you mention it, I knew that already. Why did I think that one was the Zaku MG Kai...
@@HobbyClubhouse well kai means "modified" from the kanji "aratame " which makes sense in the loosest way since the M-120a1 is essentially modified with a different sight and minor differences for the hizack, the mmp-78 looks quite a bit different from the m-120..everyone makes mistakes though so no big deal :)
it is intresting to c how the disign proses has evolved in the hg line
The early kits did a lot of experimentation - not all of which worked out
would the bazooka from the efreet Schneid also work? not sure if the other efreets have it
That's an excellent question, I totally forgot it had one. I'd have to dig mine out of storage to confirm, but off the top of my head, it didn't have those standard Zeon hands so possibly not - but that's just from my unreliable memory
Hay Iv noticed something on a few of your videos you mention a companion video about something like in this one its the dodai ys in the sd sazabi its the enhancement video but i haven’t been able to find these videos on your channel i know the sd sazabi one is still a wip but the others i can’t find
Ah yeah, it keeps confusing people. I leave those bits in because I can't change the video after I upload it. Those companion videos are still coming, though they get derailed from the schedule more often than I'd like...
Usually you can see in the description if it's uploaded yet or not. It'll say "coming soon" or have the link:)
@@HobbyClubhouse ok
14:12 im eating some pb and choco cereal
Is there such a thing....? That sounds really good...
@@HobbyClubhouse look up Reese’s puffs, they’re popular in the US, but I’m not sure if other markets have them
Pics make visch donahues gouf look like it has a gouf custom head.
This kit at least certainly has a Gouf Custom head with that very low brow-line and a short snout
@@HobbyClubhouse My thoughts on that is that before the gouf custom rolled out they field tested certain components of it to test various aspects of it to cut down on testing cost requirements...almost like they did with karen joshuas gm head ground gundam. The sensor is better i believe. They likely also had goufs with g. custom arms and legs and backpacks also, and also regular goufs with gatling shields....all stop gaps.
I'd be interested to see that tutorial for spikes via plastic rods - if it does not require a special tool.
EDIT: wait, did you use a pencil sharpener?
this gouf does blend well with origin kits based on its proportions and as a bonus, the origin kits' action base adapter works with this gouf - and actually others like the old zaku I. it grips better with them and works better than the U shaped adapter included with the stands.
I think I really should make a video of that. It's a pretty neat trick for builders that isn't too hard to do
Hm, I've never considered trying the Origin clamps for other kits, but if it does work then that'd be amazing. You might have helped me a ton with shooting old kits:)
Damn times are rough when P-Bandai is more accessible then a regular release lol
I know right? :) The set isn't in super high demand too
This gouf could also be used to make mr rals goof r35
I've never considered that. I wonder what it'd look like
@@HobbyClubhouse Its pretty much is a quarter of the way there
@@HobbyClubhouse but it already has a hg like his dom so you wouldn’t need to make one
hey mr. hobby, I'm still waiting for the dodai review - not that I'll find it anywhere anytime soon.
Thank you! The Byakuchi really is hard to beat in terms of a clean and practical design
This ain’t no zaku boy no zaku
I have a gunpla suggestion build the fake nu gundam and maybe make a second video of adding details to it like pla plate armor bits and panel lines the day i got my zeong i also got the last part of my fake nu gundam so Iv been on a frenzy finding content on it
Ps if you buy 2 weapons sets you can build the double wing version of the fake nu gundam
Man I like the Fake Nu Gundam so much, and yeah I was thrilled when I found out you can mirror the funnels to make a set for the other side!
Don't have their boxes anymore though so not sure if I can make a review... (but that's an excuse to buy another set maybe...)
@@HobbyClubhouse i had the fake nu gundam since a few weeks after it was released but i just got its funnel set i love it i need to get a wall mounted stand for it don’t know if I’ll ever get a second funnel wing for it tho
@@HobbyClubhouse i still have all 3 boxes
It's no Zaku boy!!!!
Gimme the sticker sheet. Lmao
I hope bandai make hg gouf 09 revive as p bandai
A new Katoki-styled Gouf would really be neat
Its a blue zaku!!!!
No
this is no zaku boy, no zaku
I have a snack after publishing and everyone has already beaten me to the response
Shit matsunaga 💀
