HG Prototype Gouf (Tactical Demonstrator Sand Color Ver.) - Comparison with the blue color Ver. (right) sharing the same

Comparison with the blue color Ver. (right) sharing the same sculpt as this kit, and the standard release HG Prototype Gouf (left).
Only the forearm design has been changed to the normal type.

This kit is the HG Prototype Gouf (Tactical Demonstrator Sand Color Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release Origin HG Prototype Gouf, with a revised forearm design and newly sculpted machine gun and hands added.

The main body aside from the forearms shares the same structure as before, so it still comes together as a clean HG kit with smooth assembly and solid articulation/joint strength. With both arms switched over to standard-type forearms, it ends up with a silhouette that feels a bit closer to the original Gouf. As for new weapons, a machine gun has been added, and since the forearms were changed, new hand parts are included as well.

All in all, it's a solid, well-made HG Origin series kit. If you're looking to build a Gouf in a different color scheme, this one is definitely worth recommending. :-)
