At a glance they look so similar you might think it's just a molded color variation,
but the torso/arms/legs have subtly different designs.

Following the SD Gouf Custom, the original Gouf has now gotten the SD kit treatment too. Just looking at the overall appearance it seems like it could be the Gouf Custom with a simple molded color swap, but if you look carefully at the details, you can see that the design differences between the two in the torso, arms, and legs are actually well represented.

The hollow backs on the arms carry on the old-school SD tradition (if you can call it that ^^;), but since this is a later release among the classic SD kits, it still delivers decent proportions and a solid size. Weapons-wise you get a heat saber and heat rod, so you can pull off the basic poses. The molded color is a straightforward single blue, so some seal work is pretty much a must with this one.

Overall kit quality is on par with the SD Gouf Custom, and the real significance here is that the original Gouf from Mobile Suit Gundam has finally made it into SD form. If you're an old-school SD Gundam fan, this is definitely one you need in your collection! :-)
