I had a good experience building this model, despite the rather negative reviews. PRO: Looks really good, the wire shooting off the arm looks really cool, the shield + sword + gun combo is very cool CON: The wrists are so loose, the mono eye does not move automatically when the head moves (a la Rambla Ral's Zaku HGGTO 012), the instructions can be confusing (sequencing of the panels got tricky), the placement of where the wire comes out from the hand does not reflect how it should look per box (bottom of the palm vs. actual, top of the palm)

The core of the kit is pretty solid, if you like the Gouf or are a mono-eye fan, it's a fun build. Biggest issue I have are the wrists are super loose and the hands keep falling out. The sword is loose, and the torso is really awkward to pose. It needs work.

This gundam is ok at best, it super light and you can tell the whole thing is hollow just from picking it up. It feels cheap and quickly done. The elbows don't go past 90 degrees, the knees just barley go past that, and there's no clear instructions on how to put the poseable hook into his arm. It comes with four weapons, the heat Saber, the minigun shield, the poseable hook wire, and the forearm cannon. The heat Saber slides around when held, the shield is ridiculously hard to attach and as I said there no instructions on how to attach the hook. It continuously falls out the forearm where it's intended to go and there's no extra part to hold it. Even if you get gunpla and put them is a standing pose I still wouldn't recommend this.

Only bit of new plastic in the box is a set of pieces for kit bashing. Other than that the color is brilliant and it is as a brilliant of a kit the day it came out over 10 years ago.
