Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

• The head can only swivel sideways on a double-sided ball-and-socket neck joint.
• Mono-eye can move left or right via a switch underneath the head.
• Due to the waist articulation being restricted by movement pipes, the torso can only slightly tilt back and forth/sideways.
• Shoulder joints can swing frontwards.
• The arms can...
• Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• Raise horizontally.
• The shoulder armors can raise up to avoid interference with the horizontal arm articulation.
• The upper arms can rotate.
• Both elbow and knee joints can be bent up to 90 degrees.
• The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• Front and side skirt armors can pivot (albeit in a limited extent) to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
• The hip joint axis can swing forwards/backwards on one side.
• The upper thigh joints can swing frontwards (and backwards in some extent due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor) on a peg, raise horizontally, and/or rotate on each piece.
• The ankles can tilt frontwards, though it can barely tilt sideways due to the lower leg panels.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

• The hands are swappable.
• Any of the weapons can be wielded by the default hands, though the Gatling Gun can only be wielded by the left hand.
• The shoulder sockets features a locking mechanism, allowing the Gouf Custom to keep its upwards arm in place.
• Heat Sword and/or Gatling Gun can remove from/attach onto the shield. 
• Heat Wire can be recreated by mounting with the PVC wire. (the magnetic grappler piece must be swapped with the discharged piece.)
• Gouf Custom can mount onto any Action Bases. (sold separately)

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and painted details.

Notes & Trivia

• As with any Gunpla with the softer light blue parts, the movement pipes are prone to photodegradation if stored/displayed in a dark area for a long time.
• At least two official stock photos of the painted product miscolors the backpack/waist's movement pipes as gray.
