Together with the HG Gouf Ignited Heine Custom.

Following the previously released HG Gouf Ignited Heine Custom, the mass production type Gouf Ignited has now been released as a color variant. Just as the lore dictates, it's a straight-up color variant kit — identical construction and design, just different molded colors. ^^;

Unlike the pretty orange Heine version, the mass production type Gouf Ignited comes in a light blue and blue combo that's closer to the original Gouf. Since the HG Gouf Ignited is already one of the higher-quality kits among the SEED HG lineup, this one also delivers a great set of weapon accessories and a nice-looking proportion.

Since it's a color variation there's not much new to look at, but one issue unique to this kit is the color separation. The main body is decent enough, but the color combo on the shield and sword doesn't match the design specs, so even after a straight build it still feels like something's missing on the Gouf Ignited.

Anyway, as a kit that feels like the Gouf reborn in SEED style, the base quality is solid — so if you like the look, it's definitely a satisfying kit. :-)
