This kit is the MG clear exterior parts version released to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary. It includes everything from the original kit with just one set of clear runners added. In other words, it lets you choose between standard armor and clear armor for certain exterior parts, so for the basic kit features please refer to the normal version review — this review only covers the added clear parts.

MG Gouf Custom Review

◆ Affected Areas and Effect

One shoulder, the forearm, and the leg sections have been made clear, and the transparency is very high, giving you a great view of the internals. The shoulder doesn't have an inner frame, so it just looks kind of plain and washed out, but the legs let you see the inner frame and molded details quite well, making for a pretty effective look.

◆ Difficulty of Swapping

Swapping with the standard armor is fairly easy — since there aren't that many clear parts to swap out, the whole process is pretty straightforward.

◆ Overall Impressions

The effect of the clear armor is definitely nice, but the number of areas where the clear parts are actually applied is relatively limited. In short, these are clear parts that make a quick but solid impact — I wouldn't say they're enough to get your hopes up too high about the clear treatment, and it's probably best to think of them as a bonus. :-)
