This kit is the HGUC Gouf (21st Century Real Type Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the standard release HGUC RX-78 Gouf [Revive] with a different molded color and the addition of Real Type waterslide decals. One notable difference from the original kit is that the two left hands, which were treated as leftover parts before, are actually used here.

So the basic features of the body and accessory lineup are the same as before. True to the Revive version, it shows excellent articulation and joint strength — but true to the Real Type style, there are a lot of waterslide decals and they're not easy to apply. So keep in mind that you'll need way more time and effort for the decal work than for the actual assembly.

All in all, this kit is significant for bringing us a Real Type Gouf in modern quality, and it'd be even better to build it alongside the simultaneously released HGUC Gundam / Guncannon (21st Century Real Type Ver.) :-)
