This kit is part of a trend where new color variants of popular kits are released exclusively through GUNDAM BASE stores.

The Master Grade (MG) line of model kits is a premium series produced by BANDAI SPIRITS at a 1/100 scale.

Introduced in 1995, MG kits are a step up from the more common High Grade (HG) kits as they featuring more intricate internal structures, a higher piece count, and a greater focus on detail and mechanical accuracy.

Master Grade models are typically 1/100 scale and highly detailed

They are designed for more experienced builders who enjoy the process of assembling a complex, multi-layered model.

The Gouf, formally known as the MS-07B, is a ground-combat mobile suit used by the Principality of Zeon in the original “Mobile Suit Gundam” anime series (1979).

The Ver.2.0 of the MG kit, first released in 2007, was particularly lauded for its ability to recreate dynamic poses from the anime.
