| REVIEW The MSM-03 Gogg is an early Gundam figure design, and suffers from many of the common flaws; little or no head movement, bad leg and foot movement, and little detail. The head is mounted to the body with a short peg, and is recessed in such a way that no movement is possible. The arms feature multiple ball joints, but they are too close together for the arm to have much range of motion. The legs are stubby with little bend in the knee, and the feet feature ball joints that are too small to allow much poseability. The finger claws are individually articulated however, which allows for some unique play. The figure loses points overall for lack of detail, but the finger claws help make up for it. A decent figure. |
| When the Zeonic Company's amphibious MS-06M Zaku Marine Type proved a failure, the Zimmad Company stepped in to take a new approach to the challenge of underwater combat mobile suits. As the Principality of Zeon was desparate to keep their foothold on Earth during the One Year War, they needed an effective way to operate in Earth's oceans. The Zimmad Company's first - and successful - design was the MSM-03 Gogg. Heavily armored to withstand deep sea pressures, and with the sea to act as a natural heat sink, its bulky body housed a large and powerful reactor - large enough to power the Gogg's built-in beam weapons. Being a submersible unit, the Gogg's body also contained ballast tanks, whose water could be used to radiate reactor heat when it operated out of the water in amphibious assaults. With these features, the MSM-03 Gogg was the first "true" amphibious mobile suit and would set the stage for all underwater combat suits to come.
