Take control of a souped-up version of Zeon’s classic mecha, brought to life by the modern engineering of the High Grade Build Fighters (HGBF) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The MS-07R-35 Gouf R35 immediately stands out with its massive, aggressive silhouette, faithful to the original unit’s iconic blue livery. This model features major modifications designed for high-level combat: reinforced legs fitted with heavy thrusters and shoulder pads with curved spikes, giving it an imposing and ferocious presence on the battlefield.
A devastating ambidextrous arsenal and combat mechanisms:
The Gouf R35’s unique feature lies in the symmetrical doubling of all its standard armament. The kit therefore provides two blue armoured shields mounted in parallel, two translucent orange heat sabres, and two rotating 5-barrelled cannons acting as gauntlets on each forearm. The sabres can be stored directly beneath the shields for perfect modularity.
Surprising mobility for a heavy mecha:
Thanks to Bandai’s flexible polycap joints, the figure enjoys a great deal of freedom of movement. The dorsal thrusters and side armour panels are mounted on independent pivots to dynamically follow the legs during combat poses or hovering manoeuvres.
