| REVIEW Released as part of the "Real Type" figure wave, the Gouf Desert Version is identical to the MS-07B Gouf (Ranba Ral Custom) & Do Dai YS figure, save for a new tan and brown color scheme. One of the earlier Gundam figures, it features poor joint design, much like the Zaku II, with no ball joint for the head, shoulder joints with little range of motion, skirt armor that restricts leg movement, and lower leg armor that barely lets the feet move at all. The overall sculpt is bland, lacking even the same amount of detail the Zaku II figure had. Accessories are limited to a short heat whip, a shield, and a spare hand made for holding the heat whip. A decent figure at best. |
| Designed as a high-performance replacement for the MS-06J Zaku II, the ground combat MS-07B Gouf became famous during the One Year War at the hands of ace Zeon pilot Ramba Ral. Though his personal Gouf was technically a prototype (possibly the YMS-07B), the production-model Gouf which came off the assembly line shortly thereafter was exactly identical. This fully-equipped production model B-type Gouf immediately followed a limited production run of A-type Goufs, which were produced without the built-in armaments of the standard B-types due to a parts shortage. However, the standard Gouf lived a short life itself, as production was quickly halted and the new ground combat MS-09 Dom went into production. Though the Gouf's production run was short, units were deployed all across the world, including places such as Australia and the Gobi Desert.
